In reply to the discussion: Carter Page Went to Moscow With a Tape of Donald Trump Offering Treason For Hacking [View all]sharedvalues
(6,916 posts)I think Mensch has been good on some things. In fact I posted her article from yesterday here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028937133
The key new allegation there was that Russia had hacked the DNC voter database. That seems plausible to me; Russia hacked DNC emails, it's not a far step to the database, and yet the database is such a huge step forward in illegality and election manipulation that it could be enough to bring down this administration.
But why would DJT ever record a tape? Even a dullard would know it's certain jail if it ever gets out, and of course it would get out, because Carter Page is a moron and Russia would use it for blackmail.
I am a bit paranoid about Russia's propaganda. It wouldn't be at odds with their history to use someone like Mensch to leak a lot of bad stuff before using her to leak something totally wrong.
