Former British Conservative MP Louise Mensch is a well-known conspiracy theorist and fake news promulgator. She suffers from a terrible case of Trump Derangement Syndrome; many of her fake news articles have been cited by American politicians, including Senator Ed Markey (D-MA). On Wednesday, she tweeted the following:
My sources say the death penalty, for espionage, being considered for @StevenKBannon. I am pro-life and take no pleasure in reporting this.
— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) July 19, 2017
Bannon coordinated the Russian attack on America since 2010.

being considered for others. Guiliani begged for a deal and was told to pound sand. He sang completely for “consideration” at sentencing

Naturally, Mensch’s tweetstorm caught the attention of many conservatives who mocked her as nothing more than a parody account masquerading as a “journalist.”
Weird, sources told me the government was planning to send Arnold Schwarzenegger back in time to kill Bannon’s mom before he’s born pic.twitter.com/FVJauq1iIK

Next, she will report that the Three Blind Mice robbed the Treasury, stole the Constitution, and destroyed the IRS under Trump’s orders. pic.twitter.com/kClMqeSEB9

My sources say the Marshal of the Supreme Court wants to send Bannon to the Phantom Zone, but he needs clearance from the Ministry of Magic. pic.twitter.com/Onr59Qd55V

However, this is not the first time Mensch has tweeted something categorically insane about Trump and Russia.
1. The “Marshal of the Supreme Court” tweet

2. Mensch talking about a non-existent “deal” between Putin and Trump about hacks
Do you know brother Tea Pain if this is the tape of Vladimir Putin promising hacking help or the tape of Trump Page took to Moscow?
— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) July 4, 2017
3. Mensch claiming The Washington Post holds onto tapes of Putin ordering the hacks
I think they asked WaPo to sit on a tape of Putin directly ordering the hack to hurt Hillary, help Trump and fuck up the election.

4. Mensch hypothesizing that Boris Epshteyn “paid Russian hackers” to help Trump

5. Mensch arguing Putin would dump Syrian Dictator Bashar Al-Assad to make Trump seem anti-Russian
That is exactly what I believe and I also believe putin would sacrifice Assad (not his regime) as a sop to make Trump look anti-Russian https://t.co/v7xI8RgkJO

Moral of the story: Do not trust a damn thing Louise Mensch says.
