I wish DU had a filter so I could get all the Trump Collusion threads at once without wading through the distractions.

1 billion scrabble points for that one LOL

wow............

Love me some Louise... she’ll be proven right on most counts...

Here is my guess about Louise, who worked for Rupert Murdoch before becoming a blogger.

Some on the right knew back in 2016 that Trump was a criminal and traitor. (If nothing else, McCain had the Steele dossier and source opinions from US intel.) But Murdoch and his donor cronies wanted judges and tax cuts. They needed to pretend everything was normal and fine. So in an effort to prevent people from marching in the streets, Mensch and others started telling everyone that all would be ok because Comey/Mueller had things under control. That Dems didn’t need to do anything - Mueller would handle it. I fear this was a dangerous mistake. But whatever you think of the strategy, it’s worked- not enough Americans think this is a national emergency and the courts are getting packed.

I felt she was being fed intel by the IC in an effort to soothe those imbued with sanity that we were not crazy and that yes, Trump was owned by Putin and the powers that be were engaged in a meticulous legal method to deal with. This has borne out. I didn’t consider that her efforts could be to soothe us into submission while the RE agenda unfolds, and as a frequent reader of her and others on Twitter, I think your scenario is unlikely with regard to her intent.

Her and “counterchekist” keep telling everyone to just chill out because Mueller has got this.
But now Mueller looks like he may just write a report and ride off into the sunset. And it’s been 2 years of rightwing-authoritarian judges that will decide for the Trunp billionaires.

We are gonna have to win at the ballot box. Trump is a traitor but Mueller is unlikely to save us.

I think.
Schindler is anti-Corbyn and now that I’ve seen Corbyn bend over for Brexit I cautiously trust Schindler on this.
Schindler is anti-AOC but I don’t detect any dirty tricks or bad faith there— he just disagrees with her politics.
I also think Claude Taylor is on the correct side, even if he’s a bit of a ball-buster.

Mensch and those other accounts, I don’t trust much.
