Joseph Rago, Wall Street Journal Editorial Writer, Dies at 34
WSJ ^ | 07/22/17

Posted on 07/22/2017 4:54:02 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Pulitzer Prize winner was known for his well-reported pieces and policy influence

Joseph Rago, a Pulitzer Prize winning editorial writer at The Wall Street Journal who was known for his richly reported pieces and influence on policy makers, was found dead Thursday evening at his home in Manhattan. He was 34 years old.

“It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the death of Joseph Rago, a splendid journalist and beloved friend,” Mr. Gigot said in a statement. “Joe and his family are in our thoughts and prayers, and we will be celebrating his work in Saturday’s paper.”

Mr. Rago made his biggest mark writing about health care. In 2011, he captured the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing for what the Pulitzer organization called his “well crafted, against-the-grain editorials challenging the health care reform advocated by President Obama.”

“No matter where you fall in the debate of health care reform, the arguments advanced by Joseph Rago in his series of editorials in The Wall Street Journal were impossible to ignore,” the judges wrote. “Not paying attention to these editorials was not an option for policymakers.”

Mr. Rago gained credibility with the policy community and with politicians because he did his homework, becoming one of the most well-sourced people around on health care, with sources throughout Washington and among academics on the left and right, Mr. Gigot said in an interview on Friday.

“Through his editorials, he had enormous impact on events in Washington,” he said.

The last editorial Mr. Rago wrote, on Wednesday, was titled “The ObamaCare Republicans,” Mr. Gigot said.

Before Bill ran for Guv Hillary needed to gain an idea of what politcal enemies might dig up on Bill.

She hired Arkansas PI Jerry Parks to compile a dirt dossier on Bill. She probably also wanted leverage in case Bill later had second thoughts about their mysterious "marriage BARGAIN".

Parks compiled the thick dossier on Bill, handed it over to Hillary.

HERE is what happened to him, here is his shot-up Lumina in a police impound yard. They shot him in the head, you can't any longer get the photo of him slumped over the steering wheel:

Parks to his wife:

"I'm a dead man, the Clintons are CLEANING HOUSE..."

You know how the cartels kill the people who dig their border tunnels for them, to keep them secret?

Same idea --Hillary was NOT at all angry at Jerry Parks.

Jerry did his job, then Hillary had him killed, simple as that.

Alas, she had to turn him down as her beat-up car needed repairs.

I went back to L.A. a couple of days after that "accident" and my friend picked me up at the airport. As we drove up Highland at that spot I brought this up. She said she drove past there shortly after the "accident" and her observation was that there were lots of cars and suits there that looked like Feds, and the local cops hadn't arrived yet. My friend is totally apolitical and out of the loop news-wise, so she had no idea any of the story behind this incident at that point.

Trump's getting a little closer to finally getting his FBI director appointment confirmed. Once that happens, he can finally start dislodging the mountain of evidence against Hillary that the crooked FBI is sitting on.

I think Hillary realized that things are going to start to get pretty dicey after that happens, so she's now engaged in a lot of "cleanup" work to try and tidy up a lot of loose ends.

You can bet that for every mysterious death we're reading about now (because the person is someone with a public name) there are probably dozens more deaths of people that we're not hearing about... people who have been behind the scenes people in her many dirty past escapades.

HRC reminds me of a cult leader. Like Charles Manson.

Tim Russert died of a heart attack. His death had nothing to do with the Clintons.
