For those of you who’ve forgotten about one of Twitter’s all-time greatest hits, here’s a reminder:
ive seen some wild stuff in my time on this website, but saying that one of the closest advisors to the president at the time was under investigation for a death penalty capable crime remains one of the most unhinged wild things anyone has ever said on this here. pic.twitter.com/5SdqNrDtcm

Poor Louise … did her “sources” let her down again?
this is what they took from us.

For what it’s worth, though, Mensch says the tweet’s disappearance was an accident:
Not deliberately. As I’ve said, I re-engaged TweetDeleter after using it to nuke a bunch of tweets last year and I forgot that I left it on a “delete everything earlier than the first two days”. By the time I noticed and disabled it, it had deleted everything after May 2017.

Good to know the Russians weren’t involved.
Or were they?
