Lurid Allegations Made Against By Louise Mensch And Her Co-Writer, A Former Clinton Staffer, Were A Hoax

Explosive allegations about Donald Trump made by online writers with large followings among Trump critics were based on bogus information from a hoaxer who falsely claimed to work in law enforcement.
Claude Taylor tweeted fake details of criminal inquiries into Trump that were invented by a source whose claim to work for the New York attorney general was not checked, according to emails seen by the Guardian. The allegations were endorsed as authentic and retweeted by his co-writer Louise Mensch.
The source’s false tips included an allegation, which has been aggressively circulated by Mensch and Taylor, that Trump’s inactive fashion model agency is under investigation by New York authorities for possible sex trafficking.
The hoaxer, who fed the information to Taylor by email, said she acted out of frustration over the “dissemination of fake news” by Taylor and Mensch. Their false stories about Trump have included a claim that he was already being replaced as president by Senator Orrin Hatch in a process kept secret from the American public.

Didn't find the WeaselZippers link to their piece, but found The Guardian's story (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/28/trump-tweets-hoax-louise-mensch-claude-taylor) about this. The Guardian is very not conservative, and I'm sure have approximately zero love and respect for Donald Trump, so this story is rated :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: out of a possible five.
Over on DU, "TygrBright" started a thread with the article from The Guardian. (https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029526966) The thread is brief (quelle surprise!) with drippings of disappointment.
ETA: Nearly 5 1/2 hours later, still no new comments. :lmao: I guess DU-folk have this story of how many of them were had on "Ignore". :lmao:

Great comment from Glenn Greenwald on Twitter:
She did what all effective con artists do: she fed them what she knew they wanted to hear. And they gobbled it up.
Knock, knock, knock! Hello?! DU?! Anybody home?!

Just like with global warming.

Sounds like Bev Harris redux. She was a DUmmy hero for few years.
