You must have conveniently missed the original letter.

"Neither you nor the Lincoln administration ever produced so much as a single shred of substantiated evidence against Judge Merrick."

Changing your threshold with every post? What is is going to be next? He wasn't convicted in a court? There were many who were disloyal who were not convicted in courts. Merryman, for instance. He was as guilty as sin and everybody knew it, including his friend and neighbor, Roger Taney.

You mean a vague, anonymous, and unsubstantiated claim from Chicago?

There you go projecting again. My threshold is the same as it was previously - that your slander upon Merrick by accusing him of being a confederate sympathizer is unsubstantiated. You, on the other hand, have attempted to alter that claim from being a confederate sympathizer to being a suspected confederate sympathizer to being accused in an anonymous and equally unsubstantiated letter of having vaguely described knowledge of a confederate plot in Maryland.

What is is going to be next? He wasn't convicted in a court?

That is true, but also unnecessary as he wasn't even accused of anything specific. Lincoln's henchment simply harassed him because they didn't like the way he was ruling.
