Normally one wouldn’t trust Tories, especially ones who have worked for reactionary sites like Heat Street. However, this one is married to the manager of Metallica, so at least from the perspective of SF Giants baseball, there’s something there worth listening to.
She came to my attention because of the Milo Y rise and apparent fall from RWNJ grace, and seems like a bit of a gadfly — but she in her crazed, relentless, social media presence, did come across the biggest scandal in US presidential history.
Louis Mensch has some connection to Biglygate via the depth of the current FISA warrants. She only comes to this place perhaps because like the Golden Shower dossier, the intelligence community often triangulates on the truth, if even unintentionally, and with collateral consequence.
But where it gets interesting is that the WH rogues brand her a nutter, and which she now apparently is not, making the WH rogues a part of the cover-up…
Her explanation is that her vocal advocacy on behalf of UK and US intelligence agencies since former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s revelations about mass surveillance led her sources to trust her…
Mensch continues to investigate the Trump administration’s links with the Russian government, but now in her own time, publishing her theories in tweets and a blog. She has lately been tracking the flights of private planes linked to Russian oligarchs and Trump associates.
She insisted that she had not come under any pressure to stop from Murdoch or senior management of the largely pro-Trump News Corp. She says she prefers the free hand self-publishing provides.
“I didn’t want to be subject to an editing process,”she said. “Editors would ask: who are your sources? And I can’t tell them.”
In her tweets Mensch is unsparing when it comes to making allegations, and she has repeatedly denounced some figures in the Trump circle as traitors. She insists she has no fear of being sued for libel. “I’ve never been sued because I’ve never been wrong,” she said.
On the eve of the November election, Mensch published a sensational story reporting that a special intelligence court in Washington had granted a warrant to allow the FBI to conduct surveillance of “US persons” in an investigation of possible contacts between Russian banks and the Trump organisation.
At the time, the story did not cause much of a ripple. It was published on Heat Street, a libertarian-leaning website run by News Corp, and an unknown quantity in journalism. So was Mensch, whose recent public profile consisted mainly of a string of angry Twitter spats.
Meanwhile, the combined investigative forces of the US media had spent months seeking to prove a secret connection between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin and had come up with very little.
The online magazine Slate had published an article at the end of October about mysterious pings that had been detected between a Russian bank, Alfa, and a server connected to the Trump organisation, but the New York Times quoted FBI officials as saying they had looked into it and decided there “there could be an innocuous explanation” for the computer contacts.
Two months later, however, the BBC put out a story echoing Mensch’s original report about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa) court warrant issued in October to allow the justice department to look into transfers and communications between the Russian banks and Trump associate – and that US intelligence agencies were investigating the link.
The Guardian separately confirmed the original request for a Fisa warrant, which had been turned down earlier in the summer, and former officials said they believed that the Mensch and BBC account of the Fisa warrants was correct.
More interesting has been how the @roguePOTUSStaff resisters in the WH aren’t that happy with how close folks are getting to the core of Biglygate. They are trying to frame Mensch as some type of Orly Taitz which the Guardian now sees in clearer perspective. I do worry for her safety in the same way one should worry about critics of Putin.
And this is the damage that Mensch causes. Suppressing resistance. Do not yield. #resist and #persist . But as always #resistpeacefully . https://twitter.com/RoseCar1989/status/832089637690679298 …
So while Milo Y has now turned into the poster/rent boy for NAMBLA, there is a more interesting connection to Biglygate beyond what we already knew aside from Jeff Guckert/Gannon, that the RW is more gay and more into Russians, apparently.
He (Milo) added that he has exposed three pedophiles in his reporting: Louise Mensch’s former business partner Luke Bozier, anti-Gamergate activist Nicholas Nyberg and tech reporter Chris Leydon. — The Daily Caller
