Remember Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor?

20. That "hyperventilator" section also confirms LM's early reporting

"The day before the presidential election, Mensch, who’s known for making fantastical claims, reported that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court had granted the FBI a warrant to surveil Americans with ties to Trump as part of its investigation. Another two months would pass before the New York Times confirmed the existence of a warrant from the court in the case of Carter Page."

That MJ article *is* a really good wrap-up of all the people involved.

In my opinion, the MSM has caught up to what LM and CT reported early, and now information is being tightly controlled. In their twitter accounts, LM said the other day that she was working on something that was not for publication. And CT is being sued for defamation by Sputnik reporter Cassandra Fairbanks.

I think it's possible that sources might have been frustrated by being ignored early on (such as the NYT suppressing information it had about Trump) and they sought out people who were willing to spread information. I also think it's possible that the intelligence community might strategically leak things in order to make some people cooperate. Now, I hope, the investigation is circling in, finally, on the Trumps and so we might not hear anything else until everything comes crashing down. Even if that's not true, it helps me get through the day!

edited to add: I've never understood LM's insistence that we'd end up with Hatch or Mattis as president. Besides the fact that the succession for the position of VP is not set out, like it is for the president, I just don't see a situation where all of them are arrested with *no* time, not even a moment, to use their authority to appoint someone else somewhere along the line.
