demonstrable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'self-evident' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'right to probe wicked person's file' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'wicked person's' could be 'demons' (demons are wicked) and 'demons' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'table' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
