(2,108 posts)Due to the two hours elapsing between the first tweet and the second Bitcoin activity.
Claude Taylor kept tweet-teasing he had evidence to prove it real. Was waiting for the hacker community to verify...
And then this tweet ~
What I can't figure is if there were sooooo many with all these questionable Russian activities, how did they possibly think that it wouldn't come to light? How did they imagine they'd keep a lid on it all for four maybe eight years....unbelievable ~

Claude Taylor's tweet came after he took the information in, researched further to source it and then tweeted his findings.
He's not a tinfoil hatter, he's got some gravitas to back him up.
Believe it, don't believe it....but notice the way people are being moved out and around this administration the louder the twitter verse answers back.
But yes, decide for yourself. There could be no there there. Chaffetz really did leave politics because of a 12 year old injury.
