House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff has called for Congressional hearings into Trump ’ s successful killing of Iranian terror General Qassem Soleimani .

New autopsy photos of Jeffrey Epstein aired by CBS News ’ “ 60 Minutes ” on Sunday show that the deceased billionaire was likely murdered , according to a pathologist hired by Epstein ’ s family .
Multiple photographs were given to “ 60 Minutes ” by pathologist Michael Baden , who was hired by Epstein ’ s family to investigate the child sex trafficker ’ s death .
Baden suggested that Epstein could have been murdered despite the medical examiner ’ s official report that he died of a suicide .
Dailycaller.com reports : The pictures range from Epstein @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , close-ups of the ligature marks around his neck and images of the inside of the jail cell where the apparent suicide occurred .
The ligature marks don ’ t match the nooses in the jail cell , Baden said while speaking to host Sharyn Alfonsi in the segment that aired Sunday .
He did not say definitively that Epstein ’ s death was not a suicide , adding that he still had more investigating to do .
“ The forensic evidence released so far , including the autopsy , point much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ … the suicidal hanging , ” Baden said .
Baden dismissed the idea that he would automatically assume suspicion surrounding Epstein ’ s death because he was hired by the family .
Baden noted that his “ job is to find what the truth is.
” The pathologist noted that Epstein ’ s death may not have been a suicide because of the “ unusual fractures ” he viewed in the dead financier ’ s neck .
“ I have never seen three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging , ” according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical examiner ’ s office has disputed Baden ’ s theory , “ 60 Minutes ” reported .
The office said that they stand “ firmly ” behind their finding of suicide by hanging , noting that the fractures can be found in suicides as well as homicides .
“ 60 Minutes ” also obtained a handwritten note , allegedly from Epstein , found in the jail cell where he died .
The note read that “ One guard kept me in a locked shower stall for one hour .
Noel , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Giant bugs crawling over my hands .
No fun !
!
” Epstein was arrested in July on charges of child sex trafficking and was awaiting trial in a Manhattan jail when he died of an apparent suicide .
Many have speculated that the death was not a suicide , and investigations into those close to Epstein are reportedly ongoing .

Multiple photographs were given to “60 Minutes” by pathologist Michael Baden, who was hired by Epstein’s family to investigate the child sex trafficker’s death. Baden suggested that Epstein could have been murdered despite the medical examiner’s official report that he died of a suicide.

Dailycaller.com reports: The pictures range from Epstein on a metal slab after his death, close-ups of the ligature marks around his neck and images of the inside of the jail cell where the apparent suicide occurred.
The ligature marks don’t match the nooses in the jail cell, Baden said while speaking to host Sharyn Alfonsi in the segment that aired Sunday. He did not say definitively that Epstein’s death was not a suicide, adding that he still had more investigating to do.
“The forensic evidence released so far, including the autopsy, point much more to murder and strangulation than the suicide … the suicidal hanging,” Baden said.
WATCH (WARNING GRAPHIC):
Baden dismissed the idea that he would automatically assume suspicion surrounding Epstein’s death because he was hired by the family. Baden noted that his “job is to find what the truth is.”
The pathologist noted that Epstein’s death may not have been a suicide because of the “unusual fractures” he viewed in the dead financier’s neck.
“I have never seen three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging,” according to Baden.
The New York City medical examiner’s office has disputed Baden’s theory, “60 Minutes” reported. The office said that they stand “firmly” behind their finding of suicide by hanging, noting that the fractures can be found in suicides as well as homicides.
“60 Minutes” also obtained a handwritten note, allegedly from Epstein, found in the jail cell where he died. The note read that “One guard kept me in a locked shower stall for one hour. Noel, the guard, sent me burnt food. Giant bugs crawling over my hands. No fun!!”
Epstein was arrested in July on charges of child sex trafficking and was awaiting trial in a Manhattan jail when he died of an apparent suicide. Many have speculated that the death was not a suicide, and investigations into those close to Epstein are reportedly ongoing.

” “ For over a decade , he has been the driving force behind an array of Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups , from Hizbollah to Hamas , which have orchestrated a reign of terror throughout the Middle East , ” according to the report .
Found buried on page 86 of the annex of President Obama ’ s “ historic ” deal with Iran , Soleimani was granted amnesty and was taken off the list of blacklisted terrorists – together with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islamic Republic ’ s Revolutionary Guards .

According to an in-depth geopolitical report in the Telegraph in 2015, Defence Editor Con Coughlin questioned Obama’s decision to protect the Iranian terror chief and declared that Soleimani “fully deserves his reputation as one of the world’s leading terrorist masterminds.”

According to a June 7, 2018 report by the chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), Sen.

newspunch--2020-01-08--Ted Cruz: Missiles Fired At US Troops By Iran ‘Paid For By The Billions Obama’ Gave Iran

Missiles fired at US troops by Iran on Tuesday were “ paid for by the billions Obama ” gave Iran , according to Sen. Ted Cruz ( R-TX ) .
Sen. Ted Cruz ( R-TX ) blasted the cowardly Obama administration Tuesday during an interview on Fox News , stating that Obama ’ s policy towards the number one state sponsor of terror was “ appeasement.
” Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq on Tuesday .
“ If you look at Iran policy I think you ’ ve seen a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the policy was appeasement , ” Cruz said .
“ The policy under the disastrous Iranian nuclear deal under Obama was to give over $ 100 billion to Iran .
They literally flew $ 1.7 billion in cash in unmarked bills on pallets in the dead of night into Iran.
” Cruz continued , “ In a very real sense , the missiles that we saw fired on U.S. service men and women tonight were paid for by the billions the Obama administration flooded the ayatollah with and if history teaches anything its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who hate you and want to kill you.
” HANNITY : Here ’ s my take , senator , and I think it ’ s fairly simple : You don ’ t get to shoot American drones out of the sky ; You don ’ t get to take an American hostage to disrupt the lifeblood of the world economy ; You don ’ t get to kill Americans like they did at the end of December ; You don ’ t get to attack our embassy to kill Americans and our interests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be the number one state sponsor of terror ; You don ’ t fight proxy wars ; You don ’ t get to take over the entire region and threaten to wipe Israel off the map and act the way they are acting without expecting a response .
I don ’ t want a war .
I don ’ t think you do either , senator .
But there has to be a response , doesn ’ t there ?
CRUZ : Sean , I think that ’ s exactly right .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at Soleimani , taking Soleimani out , he was the most dangerous terrorist in the world .
The department of defense has told us that he was directly responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. Servicemen and women .
He has directed terror groups across the globe , including Hamas , including Hezbollah , targeting Americans , targeting civilians and taking him out has made America safer .
Now as we look at this missile attack tonight , we see the Ayatollah Khamenei striking back and targeting America , targeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this and I think what you cautioned in your opening monologue is exactly right .
We are not going to get into an extended land war in the Middle East .
We are not going to do it .
When you see Democrats and the media lighting their hair on fire and saying that we are headed to World War III , this is hysteria driven by the fact that they hate Donald Trump , because it used to be the case that we could all come together and say that when there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ targeting America , in this case , Soleimani , had just directed an attack on the U.S. Embassy in recent days , that taking out a terrorist is a good thing .
I commend President Trump for following principles of peace through strength but at the same time , we are not going to be sending our sons and daughters into harm ’ s way for an extended land battle in the Middle East .
HANNITY : One of the things we should be thankful for living in the greatest country God above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States of America , is our great military and our sophisticated weaponry .
One of the things that we can confirm is that the Iranian economy has been impacted greatly .
Whoever thought of the fact of bribing mullahs and bribing Kim Jong-il would work ?
The question is this .
They have three major refineries in Iran , senator .
Three .
I would imagine those refineries blew up one day .
They got themselves a domestic problem , because that ’ s going to result in major poverty for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want regime change , that ’ s up to them .
Maybe we could help them with arms and help them in some ways , but we are not sending our sons and daughters there .
CRUZ : If you look at Iran policy I think you ’ ve seen a dramatic shift .
Under Barack Obama , the policy was appeasement .
The policy under the disastrous Iranian nuclear deal under Obama was to give over $ 100 billion to Iran .
They literally flew $ 1.7 billion in cash in unmarked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night into Iran .
In a very real sense , the missiles that we saw fired on U.S. service men and women tonight were paid for by the billions the Obama administration flooded the ayatollah with and if history teaches anything its don ’ t give billions of dollars who hate you and want to kill you .

Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq on Tuesday.
“If you look at Iran policy I think you’ve seen a dramatic shift. Under Barack Obama, the policy was appeasement,” Cruz said. “The policy under the disastrous Iranian nuclear deal under Obama was to give over $100 billion to Iran. They literally flew $1.7 billion in cash in unmarked bills on pallets in the dead of night into Iran.”
Cruz continued, “In a very real sense, the missiles that we saw fired on U.S. service men and women tonight were paid for by the billions the Obama administration flooded the ayatollah with and if history teaches anything its don’t give billions of dollars who hate you and want to kill you.”
Transcript as follows:
HANNITY: Here’s my take, senator, and I think it’s fairly simple: You don’t get to shoot American drones out of the sky; You don’t get to take an American hostage to disrupt the lifeblood of the world economy; You don’t get to kill Americans like they did at the end of December; You don’t get to attack our embassy to kill Americans and our interests abroad; You don’t get to be the number one state sponsor of terror; You don’t fight proxy wars; You don’t get to take over the entire region and threaten to wipe Israel off the map and act the way they are acting without expecting a response. I don’t want a war. I don’t think you do either, senator. But there has to be a response, doesn’t there?
CRUZ: Sean, I think that’s exactly right. Iran is exceptionally dangerous. If you look at Soleimani, taking Soleimani out, he was the most dangerous terrorist in the world. The department of defense has told us that he was directly responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. Servicemen and women. He has directed terror groups across the globe, including Hamas, including Hezbollah, targeting Americans, targeting civilians and taking him out has made America safer. Now as we look at this missile attack tonight, we see the Ayatollah Khamenei striking back and targeting America, targeting our bases. But I will say this and I think what you cautioned in your opening monologue is exactly right. We are not going to get into an extended land war in the Middle East. We are not going to do it. When you see Democrats and the media lighting their hair on fire and saying that we are headed to World War III, this is hysteria driven by the fact that they hate Donald Trump, because it used to be the case that we could all come together and say that when there’s a terrorist who’s targeting America, in this case, Soleimani, had just directed an attack on the U.S. Embassy in recent days, that taking out a terrorist is a good thing. I commend President Trump for following principles of peace through strength but at the same time, we are not going to be sending our sons and daughters into harm’s way for an extended land battle in the Middle East.
HANNITY: One of the things we should be thankful for living in the greatest country God above ever gave man, this country, the United States of America, is our great military and our sophisticated weaponry. One of the things that we can confirm is that the Iranian economy has been impacted greatly. Whoever thought of the fact of bribing mullahs and bribing Kim Jong-il would work? The question is this. They have three major refineries in Iran, senator. Three. I would imagine those refineries blew up one day. They got themselves a domestic problem, because that’s going to result in major poverty for the people of Iran. If they want regime change, that’s up to them. Maybe we could help them with arms and help them in some ways, but we are not sending our sons and daughters there.
CRUZ: If you look at Iran policy I think you’ve seen a dramatic shift. Under Barack Obama, the policy was appeasement. The policy under the disastrous Iranian nuclear deal under Obama was to give over $100 billion to Iran. They literally flew $1.7 billion in cash in unmarked bills on pallets in the dead of night into Iran.

After ignoring a phone call from the Vice President Pence in the middle of an international crisis , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was spotted partying with D.C. elite at a swanky new restaurant ’ s opening .
You can ’ t say Nancy Pelosi doesn ’ t have priorities .
The right ones ?
Not according to many prominent blue checkmark Twitter users , including Liz Cheney , who branded the San Francisco liberal a “ disgrace ” and “ unfit for office.
“ On Tuesday , Iranian missiles targeted two American military installations in Iraq .
Iran claimed 80 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t reported any casualties .
Given the relative trustworthiness of the two sources , I ’ d say the latter is much , much closer to the truth .
The attacks were in response to the US drone strike that took out Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani , a commander of the country ’ s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps .
As usual , Nancy Pelosi had loudly complained that congressional Democrats — one presumes she was referring to herself in particular — weren ’ t notified ahead of that action .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Tuesday , Pelosi was notified directly by the White House , but she was apparently more interested in getting her hands on a few free cocktails .
The incident was reported by Politico ’ s Heather Caygle .
“ In meeting tonight Speaker Pelosi was handed a note telling her VP Pence was on the phone , ” Caygle tweeted .
“ ’ Tell him I ’ ll call him back , ’ she said according to sources in room , noting she had to go open the House for new session @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was handed note about air base bombing.
” WesternJournal report : There ’ s no doubt the House speaker is a busy woman .
But for her to essentially ignore a phone call from the country ’ s vice president in the middle of an international crisis is odd , given the circumstances and the fact that she ’ s supposedly very tuned in to what ’ s happening in the Middle East .
She assured her Twitter followers , however , that she was on top of things .
“ Closely monitoring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Iraq .
We must ensure the safety of our servicemembers , including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence , ” Pelosi tweeted at 7:31 p.m. “ America & world can not afford war.
” Her definition of “ closely monitoring ” might not match yours .
Here ’ s a tweet from Anna Spiegel , food editor of Washingtonian magazine , time stamped 15 minutes before Pelosi ’ s “ closely monitoring ” tweet was published : That means Pelosi was either “ closely monitoring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opening celebration , or the Twitter post had been pre-scheduled for publication — to give Pelosi ’ s constituents and press corps fans the impression that she was hard at work on the nation ’ s business when she was actually enjoying a night on the town .
Neither explanation is very reassuring .
Just in case you didn ’ t notice the issue , it helps — as The Daily Caller ’ s Peter J. Hasson did — to note the timing of Pelosi being notified of the phone call from Pence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out at a new restaurant ’ s opening Tuesday night .
Yes , Pelosi ’ s brush-off of Pence ’ s call was reported on just over a half-hour before she was reported being at restaurateur Danny Meyer ’ s Maialino Mare , described by Eater as the “ NYC magnate ’ s first fine-dining restaurant in D.C. ” At least it had a memorable opening night .
This didn ’ t take long to backfire , with GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming calling Pelosi “ unfit for office.
” Harsh words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were being thrown about .
This might have been a good moment for Pelosi to stay on Capitol Hill gathering intel , seeing how many of our servicemembers — if any — died , meeting with members of her caucus and other lawmakers , directing the opposition ’ s response , that sort of thing .
Instead , she was gathering intel on “ the first full-service restaurant in the city from Danny Meyer and Union Square Hospitality Group ” which “ is an outgrowth of Maialino , the decade-old New York City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” ( Again , Eater . )
She apparently wanted to inform us all whether the restaurant really did allow Meyer “ to replicate a model that already works while tweaking it to add new pieces ” and whether “ [ s ] eafood pastas — like a simple lemon-butter fettuccine made with meat , oil , and stock extracted from Argentine red shrimp — and whole fish will be points of emphasis.
” America demands to know .
President Trump is set to deliver his remarks on the missile strikes in Iraq @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there ’ s not an opening of a Le Denny ’ s upscale breakfast eatery in the Adams Morgan area of the District , so no doubt Pelosi will be livetweeting it and telling us all how she ’ s all about “ ending needless provocations from the Administration.
” Beyond that , it ’ s interesting how a media usually absorbed in the food-related habits of our leaders — or , well , one leader in particular — didn ’ t want to pick up on this one .
The not-entirely-substantive gustatory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported as if they constituted actual news .
Fulminate as President Trump allocates himself two whole scoops of ice cream at dinner while everyone else gets one !
Lament the passing of the good ol ’ days when our presidents didn ’ t use bigger salt-and-pepper shakers as an apparent power move !
Cluck knowingly at how Trump orders dinner for other people !
Meanwhile , Pelosi ’ s food-adjacent activities are of legitimate concern to voters in this circumstance and among the legacy media , only Fox News ran a short piece @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s tweet .
If only she ’ d have used bigger salt-and-pepper shakers .
By George , they ’ d have had to report on it then — right ?
