Fringe media figures and outlets that support President Donald Trump are trying to scandalize former General Loretta Lynch’s use of an alias in her government emails, even though government officials have used the practice before, Lynch’s use of the alias had been disclosed last year, and the emails are still subject to records requests.
Kim Dotcom, a dubious figure known for spreading conspiracy theories, claimed on August 4 that Lynch may have used the alias Elizabeth Carlisle “to communicate with DOJ officials.” Dotcom based his claim on emails given to the conservative group American Center for Law And Justice (ACLJ) — where Trump attorney Jay Sekulow is the chief counsel — as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. In his tweet, he added, “Dear Internet, investigate!” The next day, a user on the pro-Trump Reddit forum “r/The_Donald,” a forum known in the past to spread conspiracy theories, claimed that a death certificate showed that Lynch “used her grandmother’s maiden name as alias.”
The implication of wrongdoing by Lynch then reached Jim Hoft of the pro-Trump website The Gateway Pundit, who wrote that “internet sleuth” Dotcom “dropped a bomb on Twitter,” and pointed to the “r/The_Donald” user who “discovered that Loretta Lynch used her grandmother’s maiden name ‘Lizzie Carlisle’ as her alias.” He added that Lynch “told Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) under oath that she only uses official email in November 2016 — after these above emails were sent,” concluding, “Lynch committed perjury.” The allegation also reached far-right conspiracy theory outlet Zero Hedge, which claimed that Lynch “has been busted”; far-right trolls Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec; and discredited birther Jerome Corsi of the conspiracy theory website Infowars. A few also alleged that Lynch had committed perjury. Another forum known for pushing conspiracy theories, 4chan’s “/pol/,” also hyped the alias and perjury allegation.

and all of the right winger out there are saying that since Lynch was using the above name that shows that she was hiding something and the right wing is in a tizzy, I guess they haven't figured out that when they go on a message board like this or there doofus right wing boards of conspiracy, most people don't use there real name , so now they gin some false narrative to feed there delusion of grandeur against the left.
And when you type in the above name all the right wing sites pop up with conspiracy----------amazing.
I wonder if I type in trump what would come up............. traitor, megalomaniac, psychopathy liar, delusional, sexual predator------------nope I get, twitter, biography, instead of insane
But not to worry the country now has a f*cking idiot saying to the North Koreans, Oh yeah, ""They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.", just wants to give everyone that "warm" feeling that since this Bozo gets up and wants to be the first and last president to go thru his book of revelations with pence standing right beside him-----feeling the power
not just DOJ, and no government employee will use their real names to carry out those activities.
But see - we know that Drumpf used to impersonate publicists/P.R. people in interviews or calls to reporters in order to spew his usual self-aggrandizing bullshit. It's all projection.
