Full story of recent phone call from Trump to FOX & Friends (his fav morning show) and video of him speaking – the story and video [click] here:
“Trump calls on Barr to appoint special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden before Election Day”
President Trump on Tuesday (October 20) called on AG
Barr to “appoint somebody” to launch an investigation into his Democratic
opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden,
before Election Day, now
just two weeks away.
Trump said on his phone call to FOX & FRIENDS (see
video at link, too): “We’ve got to get the attorney general to act. He's got to
act. And he’s got to act fast. He’s got to appoint somebody. This is major
corruption and this has to be known about before the election.”
Trump has repeatedly railed against his AG for failing to “lock up Democrats for alleged crimes, including spying on his 2016 campaign.”
Also, in an interview with Fox
Business earlier this month, Trump said that history would look poorly on Barr
if he does not prosecute Hillary Clinton and other members of the Obama administration,
including Joe Biden, saying: “Bill Barr is going to go down as either the
greatest attorney general in the history of the country or he’s going to go
down as, you know, a very sad situation.”
But this is
the first time he publicly demanded Barr start an investigation before the November
3 election.
Trump trails Biden in virtually every national poll, and he has sought in recent days to magnify a New York Post report — citing unverified emails reportedly taken from Hunter Biden's laptop hard drive — alleging he tried to introduce a Ukrainian businessman to his father when he was the vice president.
The Biden campaign
said a review of Biden's calendars show no record a meeting ever occurred.
The FBI has reportedly probed whether the emails are part of a Russian disinformation campaign to interfere in the 2020 election, as dozens of former intelligence officials suspect.
Additionally, more than 50
former senior intelligence officials signed
a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of the
emails “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation.”
Nonetheless, John Ratcliffe, Trump’s DNI, has said the emails are not part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Plus, nearly a dozen House Republicans have demanded the Justice
Department assign a special prosecutor to investigate the case.
In a letter to Barr, 11 GOP lawmakers, including Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Ted Yoho (R-FL) said it was imperative that there was a full accounting of former Vice President Biden’s dealings with this son and his son’s business partners, and if the former vice president misused his office for personal gain.
If these reports about former Vice President Joe Biden and
his son, Hunter, are true, the former vice president fell far short of his
responsibility to uphold his constitutional oath and betrayed the sacred trust
of the American people.”
After the NY
Post story was published, the Biden campaign called such allegations bogus,
saying: “Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two
Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and
political by a GOP colleague have all reached the same conclusion: That Joe
Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing,
and Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath.”
My 2 cents: This is the most serious and outrageous
act from Trump to date and just two weeks before this election.
The public outcry must be dramatic, loud, and clear –
Trump has to be removed from office on Election Day – no if’s, and’s, or but’s.
Vote as if our future depended on – for it surely does
and this asinine outburst from the President of the United States underscores
how unfit Trump is for the office, period.
Thanks for stopping by.
