...might be turning on their chief contacts in the Trump administration in return for immunity.

Just a guess, but based on her prior reports and this little jingle, that sounds about right.

She hasn't reported a thing yet, though. Just teasing us for her upcoming tweets.

has to wait for confirmation from - whoever -

She did mention very early this morning that she's waiting for all the hackers (of America? Of the world?) to wake up, and assumes they don't get out of bed till around noonish or so...??

i cant follow her, or see her page. i can only see her stuff if someone retweets or embeds here.

i am new, but i am not an egg. i wonder what her threshold is?

the next, checking for "intel"!!

I don't know anything about following or blocking, but there's much talk that people simply cannot get next to Louise because - ?? She has been so inundated with bot thingies? Or unpleasant characters? - anyway, whatever her "threshold" may be, I think it's been maxed out for a few months now?!

13. What I've found is if you retweet, like or respond to her or any thread that links her as well

And your account isn't verified, she has a program running that auto blocks...at least thats what I've been able to figure.

I created another Twitter account that I use just to follow and view...absolutely no clicking...no likes, no retweets...nothing...and so far that one hasn't been blocked.

general "public service" announcement and that the bigger news is, from her morning tweet,

10. It was only "must see" because Page is in up to his eyeballs in this fiasco

She was promoting this morning's CNN interview before it even happened, so the substance of the interview wasn't the point.

The more data that Page puts on the record, the more our law enforcement has to tighten the noose.
