Pic Of The Moment: About That Democratic Witch Hunt Of Trump
Jack Smith's latest Trump indictment was built from Republican witness testimony
On Tuesday, special counsel Jack Smith unsealed his latest criminal indictment of Donald Trump, and like the first indictment he filed against the former president, over his handling of classified documents, it was made up of hundreds of hours of grand jury testimony given by Republican witnesses, many of them former members of Trump's administration.
Trump and his political allies have attacked the indictment as being politically motivated, and the old legal adage that a prosecutor can convince a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich" should give Americans some pause about whether Smith will be able to obtain guilty verdicts in this case. But as with the House Jan. 6 committee's final report on the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Tuesday's indictment is notable in that the evidence of criminal activity comes almost exclusively from Republicans sympathetic to Trump who testified under oath.

The goal of attending those meetings was reportedly to get the U.S. to remove sanctions against Venezuela, which would have benefitted Beach's businesses.
In fact Beach bragged that "If I called up there and asked someone to do me a favor, could I get in the door? Sure"
He also said “I have many friends throughout the entire White House."
Additionally, Beach was at the center of a controversial right before Trump's inauguration, to set up a nonprofit with Trump's sons, which critics said appeared to sell access to the president.
Should James Comer open up an investigation into Don Jr. and Donald Trump for pedaling influence?
