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 posted tweets reporting 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 the president was already removed from office in a process kept secret from the American public.

“Taylor asked no questions to verify my identity, did no vetting whatsoever, sought no confirmation from a second source – but instead asked leading questions to support his various theories, asking me to verify them,” the source said in an email.....

The Guardian trying to keep its skirts clean? Many decades too late for that.

Hilariously, the fake news turns out to be fake news invented and reported by other fake news.

That Fake News is Fake News is Real!

I can’t keep it all straight anymore.

Winning!

I’ve been saying all along this was a hoax created by someone on 4chan back in May of last year. It happened when Cruz and Trump were taking turns throwing dirt at each other.

The press was going nuts trying to pin anything on Trump. Q 4chan builds this hype about Trump having a nasty fetish amoung other things. He shops it around to the media and the campaigns, but nobody bites.

When Trump wraps up the primary, the Clinton camp is contemplating using the Russian Narrative, but Manafort quits and they drop it.

Trump wins the election and suddenly John McCain “finds” the dossier and hands it over to Comey. The Russian Narrative is born.

At this time I am debating if this wasn’t a psyop plan all along. If it was, it is genius. It might be why McCain has been so belligerent. He got set up and he knows it.

You all remember how Sid Vicious Blumenthal got suckered into exploiting this hoax concerning Fred Trump's non exitstent run for NYC mayor back in 1969 against John Lindsay, the Tower of Jelly as the late great Bob Grant called him. Gotta admit, the propagandists did a not too shabby job with this stunt. The "pimp" in that ad looked period correct (kinda resembled Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch) and him strolling past that then brand new 69 Buick Le Sabre added a nice illusion of credibility.
