In reply to the discussion: Louise Mensch is on a friggin' roll [View all]Bernardo de La Paz
(48,785 posts)51. Patribotic: Trump indicted on RICO & on other charges sources asked not to be reported. Further ...
It's Mensch who has a mixed record but more than once had important scoops. And there are very interesting details. Lots of details.
https://patribotics.blog/2017/10/29/exclusive-mueller-has-dozens-of-sealed-indictments-including-on-donald-trump/
Donald Trump indicted on RICO over the Felix Sater and Bayrock case, and on other charges which sources have requested we do not report. ... He is also under investigation for sexual abuse and human trafficking relating to Trump Models. ...
Mike Flynn indicted for failing to register under FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, as an agent of Turkey whilst National Security Advisor
While we are able to report that Special Counsel Mueller is holding dozens of sealed indictments, many of which were returned while James Comey was Director of the FBI, we cannot report with specificity who is indicted on what charge other than the two above, because sources were not specific. We have reported on the investigations suspects are facing, and these are listed below.

Listed as under investigation with lots of specifics as to areas:
Mike Pence
Paul Ryan
Rex Tillerson
Steve Mnuchin
Mike Flynn
Mike Flynn Jr
The Republican Party as a body is under investigation for RICO for accepting Russian money. The GOP itself is being considered to be a corrupt organization under the RICO statutes. Sources were firm that the GOP, as it is presently known, may no longer exist after this investigation and a new party of the right may have to form. Sources did not say if charges or indictments had been returned against the party however.
Donald J Trump Jr
Eric Trump
Donald J Trump Jr is on tape colluding with Russia in France before the election. He is being investigated for collusion with Russia over the meeting that was taped in Trump Tower.
(These are not intended to be exclusionary. We are aware of other offenses the Trump sons and their father are being investigated for and are withholding reporting at the request of sources).

Ivanka Trump
Brad Parscale, Jared Kushner, Pyotr Levashov, Michael Cohen and Boris Epshteyn (among several others)
Michael Cohen
Paul Manafort is under more additional investigations than we have time to list here, including FARA violations, money laundering, RICO, bribery, espionage, lying to the FBI, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice. That list is not meant to be exhaustive.
Mitch McConnell
Jason Chaffetz
Devin Nunes
Steve Bannon
Julian Assange
Carter Page is under investigation for espionage. The tape, or recording, of Donald Trump agreeing to change sanctions policy for hacking help, which he took to Moscow, is in the hands of Bob Mueller. The first FISA application made in June 2016, which named Page, Manafort, Epshteyn and Trump, was made over their conversation with Sergei Kislyak in the Mayflower Hotel in which Trump agrees to do this. The FISA warrant application failed, sources speculated, because Trump may not have known at that time that he was being taped.
Jeff Sessions
We have no doubt that this list is not exhaustive.

She helped build morale when most Democrats had none. Overall, she's been a positive.

You certainly make many unsupported allegations. That's damned ironic, no?

Just because someone says something you so much want to be true, doesn't make it true.

Mensch is brilliant. A lot of her detractors could use that level of intelligence.
