[brettdale]

She must be pissing herself laughing, that Democrats are believing her.

The @FBI raids yesterday were connected to #TrumpRussia - there is a #RICO case against the entire @GOP sources say

[marylandblue]

1. I noticed too there were no arrests, as promised

Just a raid, which is entirely different. It will take them months to review the data, and they may not find anything wrong at all.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. No arrests were promised. People who read her carefully are NOT surprised.

She did not promise arrests. She said there could be arrests perhaps as soon as Thursday. That is NOT promising arrests Thursday.

Binary thinking leads people astray into thinking that a conditional probability is a certainty. Avoid binary thinking. Life is full of shades of gray and probabilities and very few certainties.

2. I fail to see how that tweet *proves* that she's a troll...

...any more than your post *proves* that you're one.

FWIW, we've heard about the RICO reports from Keith Olbermann. Does that make HIM a troll, too?

[OnDoutside]

6. +1, funny how some posters are intent on labelling her that.

[Madam45for2923]

30. Yes this! I find that funny too!

[unblock]

3. it would not surprise me if her sources told her that.

it's a low bar to say there "is" a case. that just means the fbi is looking into it as one possible charge, maybe even used it to justify a warrant.

it doesn't mean anything will come of it.

[skylucy]

4. Uh oh. That does sound bogus. I wish it were true. But if wishes

were horses, beggars would ride.

[BigDemVoter]

5. I would LOVE this if any of it were true, but I don't even read her anymore, as I don't trust what

she writes.

[Mr. Ected]

7. I like the sound of what she said. It makes me feel happy inside.

I'll make a mental note of it.

If it happens, I'll remember to credit her for getting the scoop.

If it doesn't, life goes on.

[Hortensis]

13. Empathy anyone? That's the feeling

Fox News and conservative talk radio built their empires providing to millions.

[DonViejo]

8. Investigators could easily have been gathering evidence.

Arrests could easily follow if they got what they went after.

[2naSalit]

9. +1

[brush]

10. Sounds like someone wants her to be a troll

I, like most DUers, will keep watching.

[AgadorSparticus]

17. +1,000!!!

[Madam45for2923]

31. YEP!

[wildeyed]

11. Wait, Orrin Hatch will be President?

GOP did accept Russian money, but RICO against the 'entire' GOP (whatever that means) seems unlikely.

I dunno. I don't really read her. It's like drinking from a firehose. Too much info, too hard to sort the true bits from the crazy bits.

[MedusaX]

12. Perhaps you are not clear on the definition of "troll" as you have chosen to use it in your post....

A Troll is one who posts information / disinformation in an attempt to sow discord or elicit an extreme negative emotional response ....

The post you reference, by Mensch, would have to be posted on a pro~KGOP / AmuriKKKa First site in order to elicit a negative response....

Thank you for sharing her post.

As it reaffirms the theory that the collective KGOP campaign funding network, as a whole, was used as a conduit to facilitate the laundering of contributions
from various foreign entities or other prohibited sources as well as a way to legitimize the flow of funds amongst a variety of co-conspirators.

All current 2016 election related Grand Jury Indictment considerations appear to be identified as RICO based.

Thanks, again, for sharing!!!!

[brettdale]

14. Shes tweted out A RICO case against the entire GOP

You dont think that is trolling?

[womanofthehills]

24. No - at this point most of the GOP seem involved - Louise Mensch is spot on.

Manifort, Carter Page, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Jess Sessions, Jared Kushner, JD Gorden, Nunes, Chaffetz, Rex Tillerson, Felix Sater,
Trump Organization, Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, Eric Prince, Paul Ryan, Mitch CcConnell, Pence, Giuliani, Gordon, Ross, Alex Shnaider, Eric Trump, Michael Cohen aka Michael D. Hacking (great when your personal lawyer goes by two different names), etc.

Help me out folks, I know I left out lots of names.

[LeftInTX]

15. I think that republican campaign group is really shady

I read an article how they take money and don't spend it on candidates. I think they are scammers and fraudsters. I would be very surprised if it had anything to do with Russia.

There was an article in Newsweek about the raid. Strategic Campaign Group is associated with Conservative Strike Force which is associated with Scott MacKenzie.

I would love to be wrong, but it looks typical low class, Tea Party, repug sleeze.

[LonePirate]

16. I think all of us want what she says to be true but I am starting to have my doubts.

Her tweets are almost "Jack and the Beanstalk" levels of fantastical stories. I would love to be wrong, though.

[womanofthehills]

25. Her tweets are all coming true

[LonePirate]

28. Um, no they are not. Most of what she has said has not happened or has not been made public.

The wheels of justice do sometimes turn very slowly but she's on the verge of crying wolf too much.

[QC]

18. It is indeed shocking that a Tory MP and Murdoch operative

would be a right wing troll, isn't it?

[melman]

19. She is ridiculous

[Fla Dem]

20. Don't know if she's a troll or not, but..........

Former Tory MP Louise Mensch is to launch a centre-right website for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

Mensch tweeted that under her leadership the libertarian website, Heat Street, will be a place where “disagreement will be encouraged”.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/feb/16/louise-mensch-rupert-murdoch-news-corp-heat-street

[DefenseLawyer]

21. I think she has overplayed her hand

To keep getting attention her inside scoops seem to get more shocking and far-fetched all the time.

[L. Coyote]

22. You can tell she isn't a troll by all the russian bots attacking her.

And she has been spot on accurate because she has reliable sources.

Not to mention, which FBI office conducted the raid? DC, not a regional one.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. +1 nt

[wishstar]

33. She is being heavily trolled by a couple of fake Louise Mensch twitter accounts to discredit her

These fake accounts pop up when you search her name and are easy to mistake for her legitimate twitter account. The Ms. Mensch fake account tweets inflammatory conspiracy theories and extreme stuff such as calling fo bombing Russia that are not from the real Louise Mensch- obviously trying to smear her reputation and make her look like a total lunatic and intended to diminish seriousness of Trump/Russia investigations.

[roamer65]

26. Ms Mensch is a conduit for MI6 and GCHQ.

She simply funnels out what they want heard publically. Some may be accurate, some may be British intel disinformation. We are in the midst of an information war.

Keep that in mind when reading.

[Leghorn21]

27. Well, Paul Krugman seems to be more or less backing the basic underlying reasoning behind a

"RICO case against entire GOP" statement:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029056732

And I personally hear little dribbles and drools of some GOP wankers being, oh, you know, "troubled" and such, but in reality, they haven't done a goddamn thing to put an end to this coup. Zip, zilch and less than zero, every motherfucking last one of them.

I read allll them Mensch's and Claudes and Tea Pains and Schindlers and Watts etc etc all the livelong day, cuz I need every shred of hope I can get.

I understand that others do not like or trust or actually despise the various tweeters in tweeterville these days, and that's just how it is. And this is my last time posting about all the tweet-sleuths on DU, cuz you read these peeps or not...none of my bidness really.

"Leghorn loves ya, DU!"

[wildeyed]

29. She might be trolling Trump.

I bet she really gets into his head. A woman, conspiracy theories AND she is Twitter famous, maybe more popular than he is these days.

[.99center]

32. Louise's speculation is distracting Democrats from the reliable reports from Bernstein and others

On the active coverup going on in the WH.

[brettdale]

34. A sealed indictment

I guess no other media will report this, so....

Louise "Im going to give you up, Im going to let you down" Mensch is having
fun today.
