I haven't followed everything, but it seems weird that more and more information keeps coming out from Candace when, if she'd known it all along, you'd think it would have changed her earlier comments. Why not say she had DMs like this from the start, instead of hints and suspicions?

She could be holding the info to bait TPUSA into denials, like a cross examination.

Not saying it's real, but I will push back on this specific part. I'm no expert, as I don't really use social media, but that looks like Facebook...which has your full name attached. So that part at least doesn't seem like a red flag.

This isn't Facebook. Looks like Signal, which uses phone contact names, but people often put full names in their contact list.
