FACT CHECK: Selective critique

| February 23, 2022 1:00 AM

Pattie Strub: I find it very interesting that you only comment on my “Pelosi” statement. Nothing about the Democrat Party skullduggery during the Trump-Clinton campaign that has been investigated for several years and is believed true.

My other comment regarding the Biden family activities concerning financial dealings with China and other countries is also being looked into, and as I understand there are sound reasons. Your letter seems to be a hate letter and untruthful.

My comments about Pelosi’s dealings with Washington, D.C., officials, which is required when calling for the National Guard, has been discussed at times in both TV and newspapers. Trump’s calling Pelosi, requesting the National Guard is a requirement of the president. There are several witnesses to Trump making this call. If this call was responded to or not, it will go down in history and the actual truth will be known.

The big question about this Pelosi investigation looking for truth is why she has been declared exempt from testifying under oath. Does she know something that may bring out the truth? All the videos seem to support both Democrats and Republicans; could Trump’s call to Pelosi help find the truth? Truth would sure help this country to start trusting our government!

I never submit to the editor a word I have not found responsible or supported by various informative sources. If so, I apologize. When necessary, I will search further. “Disingenuous” opinions “hate letters’ untruths?” If edited more, there would be no opinion column. Then where would we go?
