(d) Statements which are not hearsay.

A statement is not hearsay if--

subject to cross-examination concerning the statement, and the statement is (A)
inconsistent with the declarant's testimony, and was given under oath subject to the
penalty of perjury at a trial, hearing, or other proceeding, or in a deposition, or (B)
consistent with the declarant's testimony and is offered to rebut an express or implied
charge against the declarant of recent fabrication or improper influence or motive, or

The contents of the statement shall be considered but are not alone sufficient to

relationship and scope thereof under subdivision (D), or the existence of the
conspiracy and the participation therein of the declarant and the party against whom
