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 ~

However, it's far more likely he's just a mole along the lines of a subterranean rodent.

Or a mole along the lines of an unwanted cluster of skin cells.

I'm not saying it's nothing, I'm not saying it's something, I'm saying... grains of salt folks.

Here's a link ostensibly debunking the original Mensch article:

The author has anti-Trump credentials, but for doing minimal due diligence he will probably now be labelled a Putin asset. If you follow Louise Mensch you will sooner or later find yourself on the highway to Stupidtown.

that the bitsig record was a planted forgery, a prank. The two hours elapsing between Spicer's tweet and the bitsig record presents the opportunity for that to be the case.

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.
