Why would a Congressman in a swing district with a strong challenger stick his neck out to help verify a very dubious hit piece upon President Trump in the Atlantic magazine? Such is the mystery of Pennsylvania Congressman Conor Lamb. You can get the details of about his possible role in the current controversy by doing a web search but this video might explain why he might have felt pressure to participate in that scheme.
As you can see, Lamb basically threw Joe Biden under the bus in a big way on the very day Biden was accepting the Democrat presidential nomination by inferring that he was one of the politicians in office when western Pennsylvania lost lots of factories and manufacturing jobs due to NAFTA which Biden supported. This assertion by Lamb could easily cause Biden to lose the Keystone State in the general election especially if this video clip is played over and over and over again in campaign ads. Okay, so Conor Lamb must have felt an enormous amount of angry pressure from the Biden campaign after this major OOOPSIE. So how to make it up to them? Well, for that information, I refer you to journalist Paul Sperry.
And remember, boys and girls, you will be asked about Conor Lamb and his role in the Atlantic magazine hit piece in an upcoming Bluebook exam.
PING!
What is Paul sperry saying.?
That is your Bluebook exam homework assignment.
My bet is on David Drum who wrote an article in Mercury New in Nov of 2018. He went so far as to say Trump was afraid his hair would get messed up.

I have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
David DUMB.
What does the video have anything to do with the Atlantic hit piece?
Please explain, I don’t see it
About 20 minutes ago, an NPR reporter reported a rumor that John Kelly was the source. And it wasn’t only in The Atlantic. NPR went on about how “multiple” media outlets were reporting it, so it must be true.
I’m prior service, and I don’t believe the propaganda—especially just before an election.
That screen shot is from a CNN? Thought they were out of business. This must be from that TV museum place
As stated in the text above, it explains his possible motivation for sticking his neck out in a risky scheme to smear Trump despite being in a swing district with a strong challenger. He blurted out on the day that Biden was nominated that Sleepy Joe was one of the politicians responsible for the decline of western Pennsylvania's factories and manufacturing jobs leaving the country due in large part to NAFTA which Biden supported.
I hope that was helpful and, remember, you will be tested on this on the Bluebook exam so take copious notes.
MOTIVATION. That will be a key word in the Bluebook exam. Conor Lamb basically harmed Biden's chances of winning Pennsylvania in a big way when he blurted out the truth about Biden's role in that state losing factories and job's due to Sleepy Joe's support of NAFTA. As a result, he then owed the Biden a bigtime favor for undermining his campaign which was probably paid back by his role in the Atlantic magazine smear job.
And remember, boys and girls, political things do NOT happen in a vacuum.
Goldberg claimed he had MULTIPLE sources, at least four.
as for Frum, he invented the “hair” story and is an Atlantic contributor and friend of Goldberg’s:

David Frum, a speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, took to Twitter to slam the move, insisting that other transportation accommodations could’ve been made in case of poor weather.
“It’s not even 60 miles from central Paris to the monument. If the weather is too wet & windy for helicopters, a presidential motorcade could drive the distance in an hour,” Frum tweeted. “On site, presidential advance could easily erect a tent to protect the dignitaries (and the the presidential hair-do) from inclement weather.”...

The problem is that John Bolton was right there with Trump at the time and he already denied it ever happened.
Perhaps they could have driven, but the fog that prevented the helicopters from flying in would also prevent them from making an extraction should it be needed.
Idiots.
Hateful, loser, idiots.
Also from what I understand the roads in France are not exactly like our superhighways so extracting POTUS from the roadway in case of an emergency would be difficult and that was definitely a consideration.
I’ve driven around France many times and there are some nice interstate-level roads there.
Especially in Northwestern France. Probably German-financed, so their troops could take Paris quicker...
Operational security would have been impossible. An hour there, an hour on site would have given plenty of time to place an ied on road to block passage or blow up the limo as it returned to Paris.
