Louise Mensch?: #Daughtergate EXCLUSIVE: Sources: Donald Trump desperately trying to scrub #Ivanka from poker co related to Kelhios
https://t.co/813rE9Eyjt
New financial disclosures reported by Donald Trump show Ivanka Trumps name being scrubbed from shell companies related to online gambling. Sources with links to the intelligence community and separate sources with links to the White House say that these companies were designed to disguise Russian payments and money-laundering. They further point, these sources say, to the fact that the Kelhios botnet which was used in Russias hack on the American election was run by a command and control server working from Trump Tower, with the full knowledge of Eric Trump.
Ivanka has been linked to eleven companies in the Trump financial disclosures. Her status has been put to Inactive on several odd holding companies, ............

She's made dozens of wild claims that have withered on the vine, a handful that were shown to be sort of accurate in a vague and dubiously verifiable way, and one or two that were right on the money. Even when she gets it sort of correct, her ramblings aren't usually compelling or unique. For instance, predictions that Trump will be impeached aren't that impressive when you realize that millions and millions of people have been making that same prediction since election night.
Overall she has a terrible track record.

(63,225 posts)Ayone with the brain power to operate a pencil sharpener could readily predict that Trump & company would work to conceal Ivanka's involvement in shady overseas dealings. That's so obvious that it's well beyond the "no shit" stage.
Mensch, in "revealing" this now, is making a safe bet: if it proves true, then her fans will praise her brilliance; if it's false, then her fans will happily overlook yet another of her countless misfires.

(51,129 posts)Interesting how Mensch triggers people, isn't it. This isn't about a "rambling" that may or may not "bear fruit" in the future. This is about something that happened in the real world, is documented in the real world in the public realm, and is being reported by an intrepid person with the cajones to go after Trump.

(63,225 posts)You talk of "triggering," but let's agree that that's simply an attempt to distract and trivialize. To wit, by pretending that I'm responding due to some "triggered" compulsion, you seek to excuse Mensch for her many failures and to shield her from skeptics.
As for the event happening in the real world, well, no shit. As you note, it's documented in the real world in the public realm, so you are in effect praising Mensch's insight because she said "here's something that's clear to everyone."
Mensch's fans set a remarkably low bar for her.
