1. Wow.

[GregD]

2. my theory

they fired 40+ attorneys in order to mask the fact they wanted to ditch this one guy.

[phylny]

18. Smart. n/t

[LeftInTX]

3. That isn't Loretta Lynch

The handle says: Ioretta Iynch.

[bunnies]

6. I believe those are lower case L's (l).

No?

[mythology]

7. Hover over the link in the OP, it clearly shows that the account is Ioretta Iynch

[Blue_Adept]

8. uh, no, those are lowercase l's.

[X_Digger]

11. https://twitter.com/IorettaIynch/ -- clear enough for you? Capital I's, not lowercase L's. n/t

[bunnies]

15. edit: thought you were talking to me...

Never mind.

[bunnies]

13. Ah. Thanks.

It doesn't do that on my phone. But when I copied and pasted the name, I see you're correct. Clever. Thanks again!

[PoliticAverse]

4. The lack of a "verified" twitter check mark next to the name should be a hint

that it is a fake account.

[MaeScott]

5. That's really her, folks.

[mythology]

9. No it's not.

[X_Digger]

12. No, it isn't. https://twitter.com/IorettaIynch/.

[Vinnie From Indy]

10. This thread is BS

Seems like an effort to troll DU.

[demmiblue]

16. Hosts should be able to lock fake news if it is not corrected/deleted by the author, imo. n/t

[demmiblue]

14. Fake account. n/t

[jmg257]

17. "Fake news!"

[triron]

[L. Coyote]

21. Either of those prosecutors would be great!

26. Notice the white check mark in a blue circle next to John Dean's name?

That's how you know it's the real John Dean.
Notice the "Loretta Lynch" account doesn't have one?

Notice in John Dean's tweet where he mentions the tweet:

twitter.com/iorettaiynch/...

that the name is iorettaiynch (i's not l's).

[Denzil_DC]

29. Dean was taken in by this fake.

Disturbingly, so was Taegan Goddard of Political Wire yesterday (can't link in a way that it shows up as his retweet, but it's there):

Loretta Lynch? @IorettaIynch
By firing Sally Yates & now Preet Bharara, Trump gives them a huge and sympathetic public profile to run against the GOP. Well done, POTUS.

I haven't checked how many other "serious" public figures have also been fooled.

Let's talk about "fake news" ...

[Denzil_DC]

22. This is FAKE. Second time it's been posted here today.

First time: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028781150

Please self-delete or edit your OP.

23. The REAL, verified, Loretta Lynch AG Twitter account is here:

https://twitter.com/aglynch

Here's her most recent tweet, in case you need any more convincing:

24. Not saying the one in question is real, but 1/19/2017 was the last day she was AG Lynch and

the last time she posted using that account. The account in question wasn't created until this month. First post 3/4/2017 and already has 8500 followers. Having said all that, I would agree this is not the real Loretta Lynch.

[Denzil_DC]

25. Yea, well.

The question is why on earth Loretta Lynch, ex-AG, would set up an unverified account named ioretta iynch.

It's plainly fake. There may be something in the story behind it all, but this doesn't help anyone get to the bottom of it (and it even apparently fooled John Dean, which may account for some of the followers ...).

[L. Coyote]

27. The account is the old one, no longer active or AG.

My Twitter account isn't verified, but I'm still myself.

[Denzil_DC]

28. Are you still insisting that Lynch has set up an account called ioretta iynch?

Really?

Beware if anybody offers you a bridge in the near future!
