How Vladimir Putin Catfished A US Election With the Collusion of Team Trump

Here's the latest from Louise Mensch. The situation she describes is complicated, as is any assault in 4th Generation Warfare. You might even be tempted to dismiss it as improbable speculation. I would advise against that knee-jerk reaction. Louise has been ahead of the curve on the backstory of this situation since the word go. She has done some first-class investigative journalism, and I wouldn't be too surprised to see a Pulitzer in her future.

The Carolina Conspiracy: How Vladimir Putin Catfished A US Election With the Collusion of Team Trump

Did Russia invent a criminal case against Anthony Weiner – so their hacker Nikulin could plant Hillary’s emails on his computer?

It was the Comey letter that handed the election to Trump. Even if corrupt elements in the FBI Field Office in New York, penetrated by Russia, forced Comey’s hand – even if Russian hacker Nikulin did plant emails on Anthony Weiner’s computer – there had to be a “separate criminal case” in the first place for the NYPD and FBI to go looking, right?

But what if there wasn’t?

What if Vladimir Putin directed the entire attack – not via a “15 year old girl” from Gaston, North Carolina, but by a hardened group of adult hackers from that state who had penetrated the emails of Director Brennan of the CIA, and doxed and attacked hundreds of FBI and law enforcement personnel?

PS: The main page of her patribotics blog now has three of her stories on this. IMNSHO, all of them are essential reading if you're trying to understand what's really going on.

Largely as a result of her reporting, I now have little doubt that Comey is a white hat, regardless of how most ardent Democrats see him.
