I'm not a dedicated Pizzagate investigator by any means, but thought you guys might find this interesting (pizzagate)

submitted ago by b0ard2death

As stated, I'm not a dedicated pizzagate investigator. That being said, I still see everything you guys post and am to say the very least suspicious. I followed an internet trail of interest in other topics (you know how that goes), and ran across the suicide of Budd Dwyer. It peaked my curiosity, so I decided to try and find the full speech. After a quick search, the longest reference I can find is this video.

Why can't I find footage of what he said? I know what he was accused of, but he claims in the video he was framed. Considering he's a politician, I wouldn't take claims seriously, but remember this man IMMEDIATELY shot himself in the head at the end of this press conference, in front of all the journalists. He claims he was framed, and denounces his support for the death penalty specifically because how he was framed, but I can't find what he said before. Any of you find this interesting as well?

The wiki page says because he died in office his wife received full survivor benefits totaling 1.28mil. His family was ruined by legal costs and friends believe this to be why he committed suicide without resigning and a day before sentencing would have automatically removed him from office. Also says the guy who testified against him lied under oath in hopes of a reduced sentence. so tragic. ...

For those who dont know he was found guilty of accepting a bribe or agreeing to kickbacks for awarding a 4.6 million dollar state contract.

Yes it is and thanks for posting this. I was unaware of this circumstance. My initial thought is that he was guilty. An innocent man always has hope. Framed or not, the only thing that could drive me to such an act is to escape the truth. Just my opinion.

That was truly haunting you could hear him rushing through his speech to get to what he was going to do, I bet he didn't even notice how fast he was speaking and I bet that felt a lot longer than 4 minutes to him. Can't believe I've never heard of that story before

Honest Man: The Life of R. Budd Dwyer (2009 Documentary) Start at 40:16 for the end. Terrible.

Checked the Attorney General who was in the case, who was James J West. Couldn't really find anything, but James E. West had some interesting allegations against him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_E._West_(politician)

In 2005, while Mayor of Spokane, Washington, he was the target of allegations of the sexual abuse of boys twenty years earlier. These allegations became public after West became a target of a sting operation conducted by his hometown newspaper, the Spokesman Review.

Reading it partially, goes quite alot into detail on how other politicians/intelligence agencies can defame another politician.
