Oh wow, I was one of the first ones to post that tweet on Voat, I was super bummed I didn't research it more before posting it. It was on a thread on 4chan and thought it was legit.

Even after posting it, I thought that it still had weight even though it was clearly fake.

I believe what they were trying to do with this is discredit it, not with misinformation, but with the clearly fake accounts.

So people will associate pizzagate with fake accounts which would equal pizzagate is fake, because people are dumb.

Good work digging!

It was obvious from the tweets that it was fake, to anybody familiar with Giuliani who used common sense. This was embarrassing and it's sad how many people fell for it.

Thanks, OP, for laying out what you have, here. I'll add that the pattern of tweets over the months was suspicious, the language (talking about "the Lord"... LOL!) was clearly not from Giuliani, and the lack of verification of the account was yet another red flag. On top of that, just think about it: why would the only outlet for this bombshell change of heart and sudden whistleblowing be one unverified Twitter account? Giuliani can get messages to the world in any number of ways.

This should never have fooled anybody. Disinfo -- and, thus, misinfo -- is inevitable, so be watching for it.

Don't be so smug, makes you look like a faggot.

Hey, feel free to buy into bullshit if you want. It'll all work out eventually. It just works out a bit smoother if you use your head instead. ;-)

The content of the message was sound, the messenger was fake. Feel free to continue being a faggot, faggot.

The content of the message was trolling, and it wasn't all that good. Good enough to fool some people, obviously. Those people are not very sharp. Now call me more names and maybe all that will change!
