If the young man was so devastated by a sin of his father—from years ago—was probably struggling with greater issues.

It takes quite a bit for someone to come to the conclusion that they no longer want to live.

I am sure his parents are just destroyed by this, as would any parent. If Eric Bolling is thinking HE was responsible, that is a pain greater than any I can imagine.

“Fox News anchor Eric Bolling may have just signed a new multiyear contract, but he’s also eyeing a possible career change: A future run for Senate.
For now, Bolling is secure in his job as co-host of the new show “The Fox News Specialists.” But in a recent telephone interview from Fox News headquarters in New York City, Bolling said that “when the lights go down on the TV career” he wants to make a primary challenge against a sitting Republican senator in the South.”

No, I think the author is wondering if arranging the son’s death is part of the process of neutralizing a conservative. First ruin his career, and then destroy him personally. How is it that Yashar Ali was the first to know the boy was dead? Might he have had something to do with it? The author never comes right out and says it, but it’s obviously occurred to many of us that, if it wasn’t suicide, it could very well have been murder.

Ali wrote Wednesday on Twitter that he has received a summons from Bolling and says he stands by his reporting and will protect his sources. In the initial story, Ali says he spoke to 14 sources on the condition of anonymity because they either currently work at the networks, can't speak to press without permission or signed confidentiality agreements

If the story is true Fox would have to pay these women millions. Why should they remain anonymous? This whole thing stinks stinks stinks.

Bolling is suing Ali. If the story is true Bolling would be destroyed by "discovery" during the lawsuit.

Honestly, Bolling is from a sports /jock culture and this behavior isn’t uncommon, church attendance notwithstanding.

Yes, This stinks to high heaven. A little info on Yashi

Yashar Hedayat – or is that Ali?

The author of the August 4 HuffPost article that started this whole affair that resulted in Bolling’s suspension and uncertainty about his future on FNC is identified as Yashar Ali. This is the gist of his article:

Eric Bolling, a longtime Fox News host, sent an unsolicited photo of male genitalia via text message to at least two colleagues at Fox Business and one colleague at Fox News, a dozen sources told HuffPost.

Recipients of the photo confirmed its contents to HuffPost, which is not revealing their identities. The women, who are Bolling’s current and former Fox colleagues, concluded the message was from him because they recognized his number from previous work-related and informal interactions. The messages were sent several years ago, on separate occasions.

Yashar Ali’s real, or full, name is Yashar Ali Hedayat (see below). The first mention of him as Yashar Hedayat in the media was in 2009 as a $131,000 a year aide to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle on December 22, 2009:

The son of a wealthy family in Chicago, Hedayat never attended college, instead moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood. He worked as a production assistant on TV shows including “ER” and “Chicago Hope.”

He then became interested in politics, working on Steve Westly’s 2006 campaign for governor and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s run for president before joining Newsom’s campaign. A former federal lobbyist, he has given thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates.

After a relatively short career in Hollywood, Yashar Ali Hedayat worked to raise campaign contributions for Hillary Clinton in 2008. Subsequently, he communicated with her and Bill Clinton about raising money for a center at Stanford University to honor the life and work of liberal voting rights activist Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), who died suddenly of an aneurysm in 2008 at age 58. Ali Hedayat and the Hillary Clinton’s email communications about the proposed Tubbs Jones center at Stanford came to light when the State Department released some of Hillary Clinton’s emails in 2016.

An article about the proposed Tubbs Jones center, published by The Cleveland Plain Dealer on August 29, 2016, makes prominent reference to Hedayat, whom it notes moved to New York and began blogging and writing under the name Yashar Ali:

Hedayat, 36, moves freely in and out of politics and media, writing and blogging under the name “Yashar Ali” (Ali is his middle name, he said).

I noticed that too - as an aside, haven’t seen Kinmberly on The Five lately.

"Until the smear-merchants are made to fear for their lives this sort of thing will continue."

As long as you mean their professional and financial lives, I agree. And we should go up the chain. Jail time for Soros. How about an Israeli-style kidnapping that delivers him to one of the countries that have a warrant out for his arrest and detention. How about Citizen prosecutions of Hilary, Lois Lerner. Obama has done a thing or two that should be reviewed. And how about individuals who voted once or twice or more illegally. Antifa thugs in jail for twenty years. And on and on and on.

Mr Swampmaster Sessions - how about you start applying the law of the land? NOW!

“One source says drug overdose?”

I read that too. Kind of hate that they’re screaming suicide if it was an od though because it probably wasn’t intentional.

Sad, unfortunate. But reminder that what we do does affect our kids.

In recent days, Ali has been tweeting and retweeting scores of times a day and he expressed condolences about the death of Chase Bolling after he reported it on September 9.

What a hypocrite.

"concluded the message was from him because they recognized his number from previous work-related and informal interactions."

There are a couple of ways for a message to come from his number and not be from him. 1. Someone borrowed his phone and sent the text. 2. there are apps that will send a spoof text message from any name, any number.

The second would be detectable, the first can be hard to prove.

Just a warning, while we're on the subject, don't let anyone borrow your phone. They can send text messages, erase them, and you are held responsible. Have seen a case where this occurred and guy was charged with making a terrorist thread to his ex when a friend of hers got her hands on his phone.

Fox News justice: Pick a perp then start digging until you find a crime. The Murrdoc Bros should look into a job on the Muller investigation.

Did Junior uncover some detrimental information on the Clintons?

Did Bolling not go along with something that they demanded? He’s been in terrible trouble. Most say he is a nice guy.
