Mensch: indictments are either being prepared, or presently exist, sealed, against the AG Sessions

Jeff Sessions: Attorney General, Suspect

There are rumors within the intelligence community that indictments are either being prepared, or presently exist, sealed, against the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. One source reports that Sessions may be arrested, or a case against him announced, later today, Friday March 12th. Although I cannot find another source at this late hour to agree, the RUMINT is interesting enough that I am passing it on to readers as an update to the below post, originally published on the day Sessions was confirmed as Attorney General.


Just leaving this here for reference later in the day.

22. FISA warrants. Grand juries
Fri May 12, 2017, 07:25 AM
May 2017

Both now confirmed by BBC, McClatchy, Senators (Markey, Warner) and Comey himself.


That doesn't mean she's right on everything -- she predicted more would go down yesterday - but she clearly has some good sources.

BTW her sources are non-American. Probably British intelligence from her time there as a MP. But British and US intelligence work together.

If she's proven right eventually then fair enough, but I'm not hitching my horse to that wagon until there's some proof she actually knows what she's talking about.

because they are #TeamDeza and trying to use that Sessions won't be arrested today as an impetus to discredit "take it with a grain of salt" Louise Mensch.

This shit is Deza all day

What people like Mensch do is say things like : rumor has it, some speculate, I heard some say who know.....
Many times what is speculated is just a guess based on some common information.
Then nine times out of ten it turns out not to be true.
But that ONE time it is, then people go ape shit about what an asset this person is.

Reading past things she has said and done makes me really skeptical.
My opinion is that she is a nut. THis opinion is shared by Malcolm Nance who called her batshit crazy.

But she reported the FISA warrants in Oct 2016 in a long unambiguous story . That was later confirmed in Jan, Feb by BBC, McClatchy, WaPo.

Forget her daily tweets. Her big remaining claim is that the president and GOP colluded with Russian hackers to exchange voter data. Oh, and that there are big money laundering crimes that will come out.

Let's see what happens about those two statements.

28. Right. That is claim Russians laundered money into GOP

Ryan would go down because she says he took Russian money into his campaign.

We'll see. That's a huge claim obviously.

They heard rumors and reported it as such?

They made that point in their first sentence.

That was the source de jour a couple weeks ago? Who will be the next one when Taylor and Mensch prove unreliable.

Seems like they only have to guess right once or twice to be deemed "reliable"

As they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

and then consider this article OP is posting is three months old with an update that STARTS with "There are rumors" OP intends to use this as an impetus to undermine their efforts, and here's proof of that leaning:
