(4,490 posts)Nice thing about emails is they can come from anywhere! She just flat out doesn't check sources. As a prankster had shown earlier, it's rather easy to plant a fake story with her and Taylor with some semi-convincing emails. She hates Russia as much as anybody, but it reaches the level of unhinged paranoia. Makes her very easy to manipulate. Some think feelings are more important than facts when its someone supposedly on our side. It's the same attitude Newt Gingrich described in his infamous interview awhile back.
And sometimes her paranoia goes in a disgusting direction, like claiming Weiner's predatory behaviour woth a young teenaged girl was a conspiracy enacted by multiple intellegence agents. The poor girl's life was upended by this, and Mench was egging people on about it being a right wing/ Russian conspiracy.
Also we have her to thank for Trump's wiretapping claims.
It's frustrating, and really pushes my buttons, lol.
