As charges of sexual improprieties shake the landscape around entertainment and politics, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and his staff on Friday were investigating what they believe is an attack by a web robot involving a woman who says she was harassed and assaulted when he was U.S. attorney nearly 40 years ago.
“These allegations are completely and unequivocally false. We are looking into the origins of these untrue claims,” said Maria McElwain, Blumenthal’s communications director.
Someone calling themselves Linda Flores of Cheshire claimed that Blumenthal assaulted her when she was a summer intern in 1979. Blumenthal went on to the state Senate, and then became the state’s longtime attorney general before winning the U.S. Senate seat. He was U.S. Attorney from 1977 until 1981.
In response to a request for an interview Friday, Flores, in an email, declined. During the afternoon photos of her were changing and disappearing on her Twitter account, which was locked from the public later in the afternoon — and then suspended by Twitter.
In an email to Hearst Connecticut Media, Flores said she grew up in Cheshire and her father was able to arrange an unpaid internship in the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Haven. The email, containing misspellings and poor grammar, described a workplace atmosphere that led to her assault.

I amused at Twitter’s obvious bias, but then again, disturbed by it.
So, the female VICTIM gets banned by Twitter.
I thought we’re ALWAYS supposed to believe them?
Just like in the Roy Moore accusations. None of those women were banned by Twitter.
I would think the ONLY way this creep could ever get a female to acknowledge he even existed would be to assault them...You’d have to look long and hard to find anyone who is more ugly and despicable.
Her/the account was pulled.
It should not be difficult to find out if someone by that name was an intern in his law office or whatever it was.
Why is the date on that 11/18?
Hmm, so is that the 18th month of the year, or tomorrow?
How do we know this is the real Linda?

OMG~!!! What time is it in Russia???!!!!!

Yeah.... it’s Nov. 11 somewhere. Somewhere that puts the day of the month first!
The media is trying to paint her as an uneducated loser. The post doesn’t look like an uneducated person to me.
Yeah.... it's Nov. 18th somewhere. Somewhere that puts the day of the month first!
You. Magnificent. Bannon.
Actually, the second tweet looks like the fake.
That date appears to be like a foreign way of posting dates.
Some places it is already 11/18/2017.
Last week's "Navy veteran" who tweeted that he heard from somebody who heard from somebody that women were being offered money to claim that Roy Moore was a bad boy turned out to be a Russian troll account, and not a very good one -- it was unmasked before it ever made it to newspapers. That account also started changing pictures once people got on the scent.
Hey Mitch. How about these allegations. Are they serious enough to disqualify Blumenthal?
Since it was discorvered that the first tweet account was of a recent date, what about the one denying the first tweet? When was that account made, and how many previous tweets?
