I don't know what JPT is. Louise M does jump to conclusions on little evidence at times, so it just stands to reason that you should be discerning when you read what she writes. Masha Gessen warns that she sees the left increasingly believing propaganda and we need to not fall into that trap that we so vehemently decry from the right.

And btw I'm not saying she peddles propaganda, but she does tend to jump to conclusions that everything is a Russian conspiracy.

My point is Louise sometimes jumps to conclusions or exaggerates based on her opinion rather than objective facts. She has posted another blog entry tonight and one thing that sticks out is her claim that a "Russian spy stole the Facebook info of hundreds of millions of Americans." The guardian article she lists as the source for that says no such thing.

Pro-Putin pro-Trumpers are diligently trying to discredit her by misrepresenting her statements or in the case of the fake Twitter accounts, making up completely bogus conspiracy theories claiming to be from her. So, reader beware with all the fake accounts and hyper-political atmosphere with the Trump/Russia ties being exposed more every day.

Bezmenov's death was reported in 1993, but his death certificate has been described as "vague and suspect", with details unclear. This has led to suggestions that there was more to his death than met the eye, a faked death.

Of course, it obviously could be someone using his name.

Trump did not ask Russia to hack Hillary's e-mails until July 27th. The Russian troll seems to be communicating with Trump and his lawyer and they seem to be doing what is being told.

How does a random tweet from an unknown person, that may or may not have been seen equal "proof"? It doesn't.

There's also the fact that you're expecting us to believe that there was a secretive grand conspiracy that was conducted openly on Twitter. Seems implausible at best. Why wouldn't they just direct message him on Twitter or send a text, or some other form of communication that had even the slightest bit of a pretense at security? Perhaps they couldn't afford to rent a billboard ad in Times Square?

Also I'm willing to wager that Trump had rallies between July 6th and July 26th which is when Trump called for Russia to find Clinton's emails.

That is clear and factual. He did so AFTER this TROLL acct told him to. That, to me, is direct evidence.
