Because I for one have no confidence in Comey and the FBI, and of course anyone that Trump has appointed.

Fascinating things. I found her through a link from here to her Twitter a while back.

I can only hope most of them come to fruition.

She agrees too LOL.

Her sources are good. She's not always right, but most of the time she is. Definitely one to watch.

For those who don’t know, Mensch is a former Tory Member of Parliament turned American rock promoter wife. Since quitting Parliament to spend more time with her family, she has become a pundit known for taking reasonable observations, injecting just a bit of whack, and turning them into fairly unhinged theories. Perhaps her best known foray into investigative work is when she unknowingly used her own racist search history to impugn a Jeremy Corbyn supporter. In spite of her still apparent tolerance for racism, she offered up her support to Hillary on Valentines Day in 2016. Of late, she has been writing unified theories of Russian spying that start from real nuggets and important observations, then spin loose from the actual supporting evidence.

FISA rules don't apply in the U.K. And they can gift the intel since they are under the Five Eyes UKUSA security agreement.

I tell you folks, nothing gets past Menwith Hill and the people in the Doughnut.

NOTHING.

I've been working Twitter with as many viral anti-Trump posts as I can find. I grew my followers from 850 to 4500 in the last few weeks. Everyone is hot there for the latest breaking news, and I have been having a lot of fun trying to post it for them - along with some dank memes.

I re-post Mensch, a lot. She is credible. She is right almost every time. She somehow gets the information on #TrumpRussia first, before even this Intelligence Community-insider guy who I also trust, John Schindler. They've both been right, time and time again, and before anyone else. Later on their information gets confirmed by multiple sources.

In my humble opinion, Louse Mensch is an incredibly diligent journalist and probably deserves a Pulitzer. She has done some real work, some serious investigation. I told her she was like a modern day Woodward and Bernstein.
