(53,061 posts)Not independent (patriobiotics is a revenue driven website that Rupert Murdoch and Mensch hope will eventually replace Breitbart as an alternate news source. Mensch claims that Putin killed Brietbart. Mensch has made multiple efforts to cash in on etrade websites) nor journalists (Taylor took pictures once)
They have repeatedly claimed that indictments have already been handed out.

On 13 May 2017, Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor (both of whom have appointed themselves citizen investigators on the topic of Russias meddling into U.S. political affairs) made the explosive claim that a sealed indictment has been issued against President Donald Trump. In a blog post on the web site Patribotics.com, they reported:
It would be understandable to see this crap posted if there weren't real leaks from real sources given to real journalists who really double check, get confirmation from multiple sources and publish them in real newspapers every 15 minutes or so.
Publishing "fake" news stories like this allows Mensch to assist her employer, Rupert Murdoch have Fox News anchors like Hannity rail against fake news and muddy the waters.

(53,061 posts)1) We have a large industry of key IC and LEO sources who are providing real information to the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and NYT among others who find multiple sources and get their stories confirmed and we have these two nut jobs tweeting garbage that is laughed out of the room by experts
For example on the question of sealed indictments Mensch/Taylor have reported multiple times that indictments are in hand:

Claude Taylor ?@TrueFactsStated
@LouiseMensch and I are reporting that a sealed indictment has been issued against Trump by FISA court to serve as the basis of Impeachment.
7:04 PM - 13 May 2017
This aspect of the claim is demonstrably not true. New York University law professor Christopher Jon Sprigman told us in a phone interview that the FISA court exists for one purpose only, and that is to grant surveillance warrants:
With respect to the FISA court, that court doesnt issue indictments. It considers requests for surveillance authority by intelligence agencies and it grants what are refered to as FISA warrants. With the respect to the sealed indictment, indictments are typically what grand juries do and the FISA court has no power to convene a grand jury. The FISA court is a special purpose court.
These absurdly false breakthroughs have gone on and on.
2) The issue of Mensch launching a competitive website with Rupert Murdoch is not a conspiracy theory, it is a widely reported and has been working full time for Rupert Murdoch for the last 4 years:
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/feb/16/louise-mensch-rupert-murdoch-news-corp-heat-street
Former Tory MP Louise Mensch is to launch a centre-right website for Rupert Murdochs News Corp.
Mensch tweeted that under her leadership the libertarian website, Heat Street, will be a place where disagreement will be encouraged.
. . . .
Mensch has been working with News Corp on digital projects since 2014.
3) her involvement as a Murdoch anti Trump front is well documented when she palls around with her right wing friends like Milo Yiannopoulos

Mensch has already fooled many liberals. Her tactics-brazenly lie & self promote!!! are identical to Milo's. #Avoid

5) Her insane tweets that Putin murdered Breitbart has been generally viewed as an effort to try and draft into a vacuum and take in the alt right that hates Putin
http://www.thedailybeast.com/is-conspiracy-queen-louise-mensch-right-about-donald-trump
Mensch, meanwhile, is definitely doing it herself, at a rate of dozens of tweets per day. In her lively, f-bomb-laced feed to her 178,000 followersmuch of it attacks on Russia and Russiansshe has variously asserted that Vladimir Putin had Breitbart News founder Andrew Breitbart murdered, apparently to create a leadership opening
5) There is a clear dividing line, you can follow professionals like Malcolm Nance or RW/Rupert Murdoch/Milo friendly folks like Mensch, but you cannot support both. Nance has called her a "fruit loop of the highest order" Mensch accuses Nance of plagiarizing his book which is considered a definitive work in its field.
Former Navy counterterrorism and intelligence officer Malcolm Nance, an on-air analyst for MSNBC and author of The Plot to Hack America: How Putins Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election, is even blunter.
Shes batshit crazy, OK? Nance told The Daily Beast. She is a fruit loop of the highest order.
Mensch fired back: I am unfazed by little people snapping at my heels.
She said Siegfried is too marginal a figure to merit a response, while Nance, she claimed, didnt even write his latest book. I like Malcolm Nances book, but entire parts of it in reference to hackingalmost all of the bookwere not written by him,
Mensch is a long term associate of Murdoch who has multiple attempts to strike it rich launching all kinds of internet sites that she wanted to go global (Menshn/Unfashionista/Heat Street among others) and is intimately friendly with the Right Wing in both UK/USA. She does a great service undermining serious work against Trump by spreading unsupported, untruthful tweets into the mix which undermines the truthful ones.
I prefer to listen to Nance/reporters from WSJ/NYT/WAPO and others.
You are a valuable member of the Mensch/Taylor fruit loops team. Now that you have detailed documentation that supports all the points I made (and there is a lot more) you can continue to support the work of Rupert Murdoch's long time associate or you can delete the OP. Choice is yours.

As for the other, perhaps. For sure, some will be coming someday. I personally predict dozens and dozens eventually, and they won't be sealed.

(37,648 posts)I thought the post said that the NYAG said that. It meant someone close to the NYAG or in his office? Hmmm. That sounds iffy.
