87. I have a problem with Claude too

From his twitter account;

"Remember the death of Seth Rich, the DNC staffer killed in D.C? Intel source says he was killed by Russian Intel for still unknown reasons." Posted May 16, 2017 then abruptly deleted.

My reasoning for focusing on L. Mensch is because I began reading her tweets and her blog. I was reading a lot of the "twitterers" doing their citizen research. I started noticing some challenges to their theories and decided to dig further to know more about who I was wasting my time on. I found enough information for me, to decide not to follow Mensch. Other people I'm following were tweeting her and Taylor. It took a while but I unfollowed those that were retweeting her. When I dug into Taylor I didn't find as much and at least he was quick to correct or clarify and he also didn't seem to be as breathless as Mensch. I'm not following him either. But that post above which has been deleted is concerning and makes me wonder....is that for real? Does he really think that? Has he gotten caught up in the Mensch way of doing things? He's willingly allowing to be linked to Mensch and honestly I think it's a mistake.

I depend on the NYT and Washington Post and various reputable reporters. I really don't need to follow or support independent investigators whether they get a tip or not. I prefer the final result, the facts, the standards of reporting that are far more rigorous than what these guys and gals are presenting.
