If they knew enough to shut DU down on Election Day (a fact) then it would be crazy to not expect them to get a bunch of trolls going.

Anyone who was willing to take the word of an Obama birthed like the first accuser was is suspect. Anyone who thinks a admitted Trump voter is telling the truth is suspect, and anyone willing to convict in the court of public option on the work of two anonymous sources (especially considering the moment we are having) is suspect. Especially when the target of this hit came out day one in favor of a full investigation.
