(7,604 posts)The leap of faith that it takes to lend credibility to her reporting isn't very long. She follows standard journalistic practices of carefully defining the context of her tweets and articles. Reading the archived articles that she's published since November of 2016 shows that her sources are fairly reliable and prescient. Yes, she describes herself as a psyops agent, and that's a good description. But her rhetoric along these lines is consistently defined by her as "non-fact." And that, IMO, is okay, as well as her highly dramatic writing style. Mensch is bright and displays a moral clarity in her articles and tweets that's refreshing and patriotic.
If she's telling us that her sources are informing her that Mueller's office is considering a recommendation of the death penalty for Bannon's treasonous work with the Russians dating back to 2010, I take that as a message that Mueller's work is significant and very serious, the White House ought to take notice and Bannon ought to be changing his underwear at regular intervals. That Mueller's office is "considering" that recommendation as a literal interpretation means LESS than the overall tone of the message.
