    In the end, we'll have a story, but that's pretty much all that it will be - a story - and anyone who doesn't accept the story as fact will be called a conspiracy theorist, which is why the CIA invented the term "conspiracy theory."

    It's ok that the assassination attempt failed. Biden arranged to cheat to win in the first week of his presidency with illegals.

    You won't get reliable info as @Ken Anderson says. We will get a story, but chances are it won't be the real truth. I don't know the real truth, but the FBI certainly won't produce it, as they have been trying to destroy Trump since before he was elected. The Secret Service is trying to blame local law enforcement, but that doesn't fly since, although the local sheriff's department didn't cover all the bases, it was the responsibility of the SS (interesting couple of letters) to make sure the bases were covered and they didn't do that. The locals are not the professionals in protection, the SS is supposed to be.

    Cory Mills is now doing an independent investigation into the shooting, and he may find more than the official one is releasing. Mills is the congressman who sent his own plane into afghanistan to rescue the people and service dogs that were left behind when Biden (or Harris) (or Obama) pulled the troops out so horribly.
    One of the things that President Trump has said is that he will tell everyone the truth about what happened once he learns himself.

    I read that this is the only Trump rally where counter-snipers were deployed. In other words, they were there to take out the assassin once he killed Trump, rather than have the assassin live to talk.

    Of course, he also said he'd tell us the truth about the JFK assassination.

    According to an indictment unsealed Tuesday by the Department of Justice, a Pakistani national with alleged ties to the Iranian government was charged with one count of Murder for Hire as part of a political assassination plot that targeted former President Donald Trump and other current and former government officials.

    Could be real or it could be an attempt to change the subject from the Secret Service's CYA operation. Maybe both.

    I think it is mostly to divert attention from the Secret Service actions and lack thereof. First, the SS tried to blame the local cops, and , when that didn't really garner the hoped-for response, they raked up the Iranian threats against Trump and Pompeo. Utter nonsense IMO. Did the so-called shooter have Iranian connections? I haven't read of any. The U.S. and Israel are really trying to drum up anti-Iranian sentiment right now as we prepare to go to war with the Persians. They are certainly not good people, but we are bad people as a nation as well. My wife was surprised to hear that a number of American troops were injured or killed yesterday. She was unaware that we still had troops in Iraq. She also didn't know that we have 900 or so troops inside Syria, not at the invitation of the Syrian government I am sure. I suspect they are "tripwires" to tempt Iranian sympathizers into attacking them and giving the U.S. government a reason to get Americans drummed up against our "foes". I guess if we had Iranians or Chinese with a small base inside Louisiana, we wouldn't mind.

    The Secret Service, the FBI, the Democrats, and their affiliate media outlets are working very hard to persuade everyone that everything was so confusing that no one could possibly know what happened that day. This suggests that everything will remain the same. Nobody can figure it out, so we may as well forget it and move on. They are successful at this.

    Peak Prosperity is among the few podcasts still following the topic in an organized fashion. Nearly everyone else reposts stuff we've already seen or makes wild guesses that are clickbait. There are probably still hearings on it in Congress, but we know these won't accomplish anything.

    I never thought I would live in such times, and now I realize that I always have been and did not know it.

    I'm putting this here because it concerns another Secret Service lapse.

    Secret Service Agent Abandoned Post Guarding Trump To Breastfeed

    A female Secret Service agent abandoned her post to breastfeed a child right before former President Trump’s North Carolina rally Wednesday, Real Clear Politics’ Susan Crabtree reported.

    The site agent, in charge of security for the entire event, found her breastfeeding her child in a room that was supposed to be set aside for Secret Service “official work,” five minutes before Trump’s motorcade arrived, according to Crabtree.

    The woman, who came from the Atlanta Field Office, was in the room with two other family members, Crabtree reported.

    The incident occurred a little over a month after a would-be assassinshot Trump in the ear during a Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13.

    Anyone think she should be fired?

    I'm angry if she hasn't been already. This sounds like a Babylon Bee article.

    But the whole thing sounds like a set up to any Conservative. Few people were there that were effective and many that were ineffective.

    Seeing this making the rounds online.

    Trump shooter's parents have hired a powerhouse team of criminal lawyers according to the Daily mail.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...s-Matthew-Crooks-hires-criminal-attorney.html

    I have thought it strange that we heard nothing from these people through the media or the FBI. It was almost as if they didn't exist.

    And there's this:

    The idea that someone may have assisted Thomas Crooks was given new credence on Thursday by Florida US Rep. Mike Waltz. In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com he questioned whether the 20-year-old acted alone.
