to request investigations into corruption of foreign governments who get financial aid from us, regardless of the speculation of motive created by his political opponents.
The phone call and every single witness has confirmed that aid to Ukraine, and a meeting in the WH with Trump, were held up pending and ANNOUNCEMENT of an investigation into the Bidens. Or as Bolton called it, a 'drug deal'
Trump's own lifelong record of corruption belies any serious interest in corruption anywhere else and he expressed no concerns about corruption in Ukraine prior to '19. Zip.
If Trump wanted an investigation of an American citizen the proper procedure would have been to ask the DOJ to investigate. Why didn’t he go to Bill Barr? If Barr wanted an investigation and he needed information from Ukraine he would ask his Ukrainian counterpart for help.
There are two reasons that Trump didn't do this.
1) He didn’t really want an investigation. He just wanted Zelensky to announce an investigation.
2) He knew that although it didn’t look great that Hunter Biden was hired by Burisma and was paid a lot of money, there was nothing illegal about it.
Sandy Hook truther arrested following harassment of victim's father
Another story that starts with “a Florida man” — except there’s nothing remotely amusing about this one.
A Florida man known for denying the Sandy Hook school massacre happened and for spreading conspiracy theories has been arrested, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Wolfgang Halbig, 73, of Sorrento, is charged with the unlawful possession of the personal identification of Leonard Pozner, whose 6-year-old son, Noah, died in the December 2012 shooting, according to the Lake County, Florida, arrest record. Halbig has contacted victim family members since the shooting and "continued to harass them, asking questions and alleging the children involved are crisis actors," according to an affidavit of probable cause from the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Halbig has also been named in a lawsuit brought by six Sandy Hook families against Alex Jones, a hollowed-out husk of a human being who also has a radio show. In the lawsuit, Halbig is accused of harassing family members and other Newtown residents.
According to an affidavit, Halbig has “continued to harass [Pozner] over the internet” and has obtained Pozner’s Social Security number and birthdate and given it to hundreds of people.
