Here's a story that is based on an article that ran in the Washington Post:
https://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/white-house-aides-bewildered-and-alarmed-trump-seems-lost-in-some-kind-of-paranoid-delusion/
Is the rise of alt-left nuts like Louise Mensch and the constant drumbeat that there is some FBI indictment waiting for Trump, along with these kinds of statements, part of an over-arching psy-op intended to discount pedogate when (or if) it finally breaks?
We now have Joe Scarborough claiming they're "pulling the string" on the FBI investigation and that Comey was too close and that's why Trump fired him. This feeds into a narrative that helps set the groundwork for their eventual defense and misdirection.

It's a two pronged effort:
-
Trump is delusional and paranoid. The claims are baseless. (Considering the potential level of this cabal, most people would have difficulty believing it and might go with an easier-on-the-conscience explanation)
-
Trump is trying to distract from his own crimes and going after his enemies (It's possibly why certain politicians are so strident with their claims of collusion. They can claim it's part of an attack to silence them).

Neither of the two people you mention are on the left.
Almost two months ago the Department of Justice confirmed there is an investigation into Russian interference in our election and "the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts."
Do you think the press should be ignoring this? Or do you think this is fake?

Neither of the two people I mentioned are on the left? Give me a break. If you think Mensch is on the right, you're reading the wrong twitter feed and Scarborough is left of center for sure at this point. The constant drumbeat I'm talking about relates to twitter. People like Claude Taylor, Mensch, Lawrence Tribe, etc. This is not the press doing its duty, but a calculated onslaught intended to undermine Trump and anyone who takes on the deep state. We know now that Podesta and Mook cooked this up within 24 hours of the election loss (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/21/shattered-revelation-clinton-campaign-hatched-russian-hacking-narrative-24-hours-after-hillarys-loss/)). It is a fake narrative, pushed by a compromised fourth estate that acts at the whim of a corrupt deep state.

When Mensch was a Conservative MP. Scarborough is not left of center.

Mensch being a conservative MP does not make her right. Read her tweets, the woman is definitely on the left. "Conservative" in the UK looks nothing like conservative right here. You could argue Scarborough, maybe? But he's been drifting more to the left everyday. He's a textbook RINO. And listening to him recently only confirms his shift in ideology.
