we've been fed that circumstantial evidence is somewhat lesser, "we only have circumstantial evidence, we need more.."
almost all the good evidence is circumstantial: DNA, fingerprints, blood analysis, ballistics, gps/cellphone location data...
and it's going to a be a massive talking point about the corruption and collusion stuff, because even in dumb administrations a lot of back room deals aren't going to be eye-witnessed(direct evidence) by a bunch of people.
