There is an attorney named Lin Wood who is a Trump activist, who is very vocal about 9/11 truth- even at Trump rallies.
It's interesting because Trump has never endorsed 9/11 truth. He's made some quips about the Saudis, but that's just noise. Lin Wood goes the distance, saying the George W. Bush is a criminal who belongs in jail. He says it was a missile, not an airliner, that hit the Pentagon, and no plane crashed in Pennsylvania. He doesn't pull any punches.
But, what's amazing is that Newsweek did an article about his 9/11 truthing, in which they published a lot of his statements. Of course, their intention was to disparage him, but at the same time, they gave him a lot of exposure. It is unusual for the mainstream media to do that. Mostly, they ignore the 9/11 truth movement. They act like it doesn't exist. But, they granted him a full airing.
Of course, he is not a politician. He is not in office, and he is not running for office. An elected or appointed official could never get away with this. There would be calls for his or her resignation or impeachment.
Even Ron Paul, when he was put on the spot during the Presidential election campaign, either in 2008 or 2012, by Chris Douglas, who pointed out to him that many of his supporters were 9/11 truthers, so will he renounce, once and for all, the 9/11 truth movement? And Ron pretty much did. I have to think that Ron knew better. And the same went for Robert Kennedy, who was put on the spot about his brother's murder, and publicly, he always supported the Warren Commission.
So, this visibility given to Lin Wood was unusual, especially since it involved Newsweek. But, I have to think that he is pleased about it. He didn't come off bad- not at all. I don't think the article had the effect they were looking for. In other words: it was a big mistake for them to do it.
