        Only the one LE official is very assertive on how solid the info is. Others say it's still circumstantial.

        Finally: we have a "Law Enforcement official" and "no comment" from the FBI. That seems weird, FBI is the only LE involved.

        That's prolly a single FBI officer commenting anonymously and FBI press office no commenting.

        That does make sense. Nonetheless, this smells bogus to me. The problem is that anything like this would have been found earlier

        and even the "officials", despite being nameless, and having a desired message, still hedge with "circumstantial".

        Right: Only LE is very positive on this.

        That is, true, the exact opposite of what we would expect: LE the most cautious, the others going hog wild with anything.
