which generally defines hearsay as a "statement, other than one made by the declarant while testifying at the trial or hearing, offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted." Rule 801, 28 U.S.C. App

The statements in the Mitchell report are not hearsay. They are direct staements by the witness as to whatt they saw or did.
As Midlo said the credibility of the witness is at the heart of the matter. I am sure they were extremely cautious in reporting those names. It is also possible to convict on circumstancial evidence if it meets the burden of proof.
