Reminder: It Took Over 2 Years for the Watergate Scandal to Unfold [View all]

this one is much more complex with different countries, languages, hidden corporate accounts and disinformation . Not every step will be forward but its a jig-saw puzzle slowly being revealed. Nobody can solve the puzzle by themselves but every step can help others with their own leads. I think its disingenuous for critics to dismiss Mensch's posts at this point. She might have access to her own "Deep Throat" who is deeply concerned about an aspect of the scandal they are familiar with. Her source might not be knowledgeable about the entire alleged conspiracy. She certainly has advanced the investigation-so we should critically consider her reports
