I know you don't read what she writes.
So why comment about a subject you know nothing about.

You can just block anything with her name ya know.
No need to sabatoge what others do want to discuss.

The same old pile on crew stops by to add their bs about someone they never read & know nothing about because "someone once told them how to think about her".
We all know who you are.

Just block Louise from your list so the rest of us can discuss this without the pointless & rude interruption.
That'd be the proper & civil way to handle it.

Or just ignore it & move on elsewhere.

I don't exactly read her stuff daily. But she is believable and comes up with some good stuff.

I also am tired of the same old crew slamming her. If someone doesn't 'like someone here, grudges are held forever. And she is immediately slammed for being conservative and a kook. Imo we are living in a reality where the definition of both words have changed to mean normal and cautious.

here, haven't you?

If one does a 5 minute Google of Ms Mensch, you find that she is 1.) a conservative 2.) conspiracy theorist who is 3.) known to publish false information and 4.)whose primary literary accomplishments to date have been a series of vapid "chick-lit" works of fiction. If that fits your description of a reliable authority, so be it. Read her. But, your insistence that she not be criticized by those of us who prefer facts to breathless uncorroborated conjecture is childish and unseemly.

As for your suggestion that we "ignore it & move on elsewhere", that's just not going to happen.

When someone's Great Dane leaves a steaming pile on the sidewalk, some of us will take the time to remove it and disposes of it properly. We don't enjoy it. We wish it wasn't necessary. But, it needs doing.

When someone posts "news" from what we see as an unreliable source that had been shown to be such more than once, some of us will try to see to it that folks don't "step in it". We don't enjoy it.. We wish it wasn't necessary. But, it needs doing.

New financial disclosures reported by Donald Trump show Ivanka Trump’s name being scrubbed from shell companies related to online gambling.

Sources with links to the intelligence community and separate sources with links to the White House say that these companies were designed to disguise Russian payments and money-laundering.

They further point, these sources say, to the fact that the Kelhios botnet – which was used in Russia’s hack on the American election – was run by a command and control server working from Trump Tower, with the full knowledge of Eric Trump.

Ivanka has been linked to eleven companies in the Trump financial disclosures.

Her status has been put to “Inactive” on several odd holding companies, including:

Tihm Manager Corp, which is an officer of “Trump International Hotels Management LLC”

Trump Endeavor 12 Management Corp,

TW Venture LLC, which has “TW Venture I LLC” as a company it manages – that would be “I” for Ivanka, yet she has been scrubbed from the “Key People” record, so that TW Venture I LLC shows zero “key people”

DJTholdings Managing Member LLC
Emerald Dunes Member Corp
40 Wall Street Holdings
and others.

The most immediately interesting company of Ivanka Trump’s is “Poker Venture Managing Member Corp“.

This is owned by Donald and Ivanka Trump. Ivanka’s company with her father itself is an officer of this very dodgy-looking shell, “Poker Venture LLC.” Judging by the corporation wiki, there is panic in Team Ivanka and Team Trump over “Poker Venture“.

Imteresting that this was written back in June 2017, and just today MSM is FINALLY beginning to report on Ivanka's involvement in this.

You know she has been up to her eyeballs in the criminal orgs with her family.

Thanks for your posting here.
It deserves to be here.
It is more of the depth of criminal transactions of the Trump crime family.

10. I think she is asking some good questions in this piece.
Thu Mar 1, 2018, 08:34 PM
Mar 2018

Hopefully, someone in the FBI is investigating Ivanka's business ventures.

And to put this piece into context, here is a CNN story from today:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/01/politics/ivanka-trump-fbi-investigation/index.html

The FBI has been looking into the negotiations and financing surrounding Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, according to a US official and a former US official. The scrutiny could be a hurdle for the first daughter as she tries to obtain a full security clearance in her role as adviser to President Donald Trump.

It's standard procedure to probe foreign contacts and international business deals as part of a background check investigation. But the complexity of the Trump Organization's business deals, which often rely on international financing and buyers, presents a challenge.

SNIP

But her low profile, particularly when it comes to Mueller's investigation, is baffling to some legal experts.

"Why is he not interviewing Ivanka? The answer is, beats me," said Michael Zeldin, a CNN legal analyst and former prosecutor who previously worked for Mueller at the Justice Department.

"Either he's just biding his time," Zeldin said, "or he has obtained this evidence elsewhere and he doesn't need her, or he appreciates the possibility of a major eruption were he to do that."

the right wing troll, Milo Yiannopoulous, so I'm going to disregard the rest of the opinion pieces in your post --which you put up every time her name comes up.

Mensch did NOT report on the hoax -- that was Taylor's mistake. Though she trusted him enough to retweet his claims, she has always made clear that she has different sources than he has, and she knows her sources personally. And, yes, she is a Tory and she was pictured with Milo at an event for conservatives. But the pictures of the event prove that it was not the day after the election at Trump Tower, where Milo first claimed it was (till he got called on that). Louise had months before ended contact with him.

She is delusional and proven to be wrong on so many occasions. You also cannot deny that she worked with/for Rupert Murdoch and that she is a RW Tory.

Think Progress nailed her as well, and there is no denying that she is buddy buddy with Milo, the pic of them was posted on her own twitter originally (now dleleted). I choose to get my information from reliable sources.

more than progressives who failed to vote for Hillary. And I appreciate that when so many people wanted Comey to resign, she kept insisting that he was a "good guy," and we should trust him. And she was right. And then Rosenstein came on and Democrats didn't like him, either. And she insisted that he was a good guy. And then Mueller came on and he was a Republican so some Democrats didn't like him either. Louise was right about him, too.

As I said, she WAS socially friendly with Milo, but that ended long ago. He falsely claimed that that picture was taken at the Trump Tower after the election, but he was proven to have lied about that. It was taken months earlier at the Waldorf Astoria.

Oh well.
Anyone who has followed her knows who she went after with a vengance in 2016.

Putin, Trump & the organized global crime network that Mueller & our allies are trying to bust.

Carry on Louise & your persistant team.

major news sites all thru the election.
And be damned if Louise & her 20 committee weren't right every step of the way.

They stood up to the trolls bots & flood of fake news we were buried in.

Unfortunately there have to be generally good posters now put on my block list.

Its ok to just stay out of a thread & find something else to your liking.
I hope after what I have read today that Ivanka Trump is not coddled & goes down hard with the rest of her crime family, & all they own worldwide is seized.

THAT is the real story here to be discussed.
Thanks

..to attack anything anti Trump & Republicans.
That was the true fake news we saw flood our social media sites in 2016.

Believing and agreeing with Milo Y & Pro Trump bots & trolls is your business but unt8l you know what she had written over the year, then you are simply doing their ongoing work for them in protecting Trump.

Every single thing she has written has been for her detest of Putin, his coup on the US & Trump.

You would know this by reading her work.
Please stop.
Put her name on block rather than sabatoge everyone elses discussion here.

Its that simple.
