“Roman contemporary records of Jesus? He was put on trial, yet no legal of that time record exists, unless it is locked away in the basement in Rome”

Just to make it clear Jesus was not tried by the Romans, Pilate found that he did not violate Roman law, however he did send Jesus to the Cross.

Now if Pilate had known he was sending the Savior of the World to the Cross and not just a run of the mill Jewish dissenter I am sure he would have flooded the world with documents. But he seemed to be satisfied just washing his hands.

A very good point - Jesus, a Jewish man, was found guilty by the Jewish court and sentenced to death. But since only the empire could sanction the death penalty they went to Pontius who was in charge of Judaea. Pontius tried to fob it off to Herod Agrippa, the client king of Galilee, with the excuse that Jesus was a Galilean, but Herod declined the hot potato.

Then, by your definition, there exists nothing, by any Roman, Jew, or Gentile, there is no one within a 40 year window, who even seen the guy sneeze. Not exactly eyewitness reports, more like “telephone game”.
