Extinguisherman has been arrested

A retired Pennsylvania firefighter accused of throwing a fire extinguisher that hit three police officers and a man photographed holding a Confederate flag inside the Capitol have been arrested for their roles in the MAGA insurrection.

Robert Sanford, a 55-year-old from Chester, Pennsylvania, faces three felony charges, including assaulting a police officer, after he was allegedly caught on camera hurling the extinguisher as the mob stormed past Capitol Police officers and broke into the building on Jan. 6. He was taken into custody by the FBI in Pennsylvania Thursday morning just before 6 a.m., a source with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast.

One video of the protest shows rioters storming past a barricade as Capitol Police officers desperately trying to contain them on the west side of the building. A rioter in the video, identified in a criminal complaint as Sanford, can be seen tossing the fire extinguisher toward a group of officers—and striking at least one on the helmet. The extinguisher ricocheted and struck another officer “who was not wearing a helmet in the head,” according to the court documents. Prosecutors said the object then hit a third helmeted officer in the head.

Another photo from the riots shows a man wearing a CFD hat, referring to the Chester Fire Department. Sanford admitted to a friend that the man in the photograph was him, according to a criminal complaint. That friend ultimately tipped off the feds to Sanford’s involvement in the riots after he confessed “that he was the person that the FBI was looking for,” the complaint says. Sanford’s friend also told investigators he had traveled to the nation’s capital on a bus with a group of people. The group, the charging document states, had “gone to the White House and listened to President Donald J. Trump’s speech and then had followed the President’s instructions and gone to the Capitol.”

Trump's drug hook-up, Dr. Bornstein died

https://twitter.com/Paul_VanDerMeer/status/1349642268874039296?s=20


Harold Bornstein, the doctor who said Donald Trump was in excellent shape and was mocked for it, died last Friday at age 73.

His paid obit is running in the Legacy section of the New York Times.

I am gobsmacked. Harold was my doctor in the 80s and early 90s. His father, the late Dr. Jacob Bornstein, was the cousin of a friend of mine. Harold, who loved dispensing medication over the phone, never mentioned that Trump was his patient. But when Trump became president– and his health was questioned– Harold, looking more eccentric than ever, chimed in.

He wrote a letter stating: “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” (The letter is below.)

He later told CNN: “He dictated that whole letter. I didn’t write that letter. I just made it up as I went along.”

Around that time, in 2017, Harold claimed his office had been raided by Trump via a bodyguard. Trump lawyer, and long time associate. It was prompted by an article in the New York Times in which Bornstein said the president takes a prostate-related drug to treat baldness, known as Propecia, as well as other “antibiotics to control rosacea, a common skin problem, and a statin for elevated blood cholesterol and lipids.”
