19. Milo is lashing out at her due to her latest article linking him to Russian SVB Bank(FISA warrant)

May 2017

These two former friends are having a public spat that she explained in her latest article where she says she parted company with him over his alt-right extremism but she also criticizes him for owing money to people and wonders why he banked with SVB.

In the article she says she questioned him about how he came to bank with Russian linked SVB and says she has sent their email correspondences to to FBI since this bank was target of FISA warrant.

So maybe she is trying to boost her credibility with liberals by dissing Milo? Who knows since Louise's motives are questionable and her speculations and theories are unreliable since they are not credibly sourced, but mostly just her hunches based on some published info with grains of truth that she links together as possible connections in her theories.

By contrast to them and Claude Taylor, Seth Abramson who has been in a twitter spat with her seems much more credible and has a very good recent thread where he explains his take on the current status of the Trump/Russia investigations. His tweets seem much more fact based, well-thought out and responsible.
