A now-deceased official with President Donald Trump’s National Security Council received a report suggesting that the 2017 Las Vegas shooting may not have been the work of a “lone gunman” with no discernible motive, but rather a terrorist attack perpetrated by at least two men with possible ties to ISIS and/or ANTIFA, according to National File.

The “All Source Assessment,” entitled “Attack on the Route 91 Country Music Festival,” was prepared for Rich Higgins, a Trump campaign advisor and member of the president’s National Security Council who died from COVID-19 on Feb. 23.
While the report suggested that “attack was likely planned as well as logistically and financially coordinated entirely by Stephen Paddock,” it also found that Brian Hodge, the Australian man who claimed to have been staying in the room next to Paddock’s at the Mandalay Bay hotel when the attack took place, “is a reasonably suspicious person of interest and deserves a much greater level of scrutiny.”
Hodge had “possible ties to Islamic organizations and a possible [ISIS] linkage” as well as a “personal profile . . . more befitting of a left wing or Anti-Fascist Action (ANTIFA) affiliate,” the report claimed.
In the aftermath of the shooting, ISIS claimed that Paddock had converted to Islam and committed the massacre on its behalf.\

Brandon Media newspuppets gonna puppet...
Can the FIB prove it wasn’t their operation?
Airliners vanish.
Neither one would surprise me.
Was it a fib ?
I could possibly imagine ISIS.
I don’t think it feels like ANTIFA at all.
But it mostly feels like FBI.
I never believed the cover story.
I heard automatic 5.56 at the same time as semi auto .308.
Two shooters, minimum.
It’s obvious they are covering up something. ISIS was strong, with the resources to pull this off, Antifa was really not a factor in 2017. My money is on ISIS and the FBI, equally guilty. Remember this was on Comey and McCabe’s watch, during the Obamanation...with Lynco overseeing.
First FBI agent in charge was Comey.
Is it “terror” if no terror group takes credit for it?
I dunno....
I remember the discussions about two separate sets of muzzle flashes from the direction of the suite.
There was also discussion about reloading times and the pauses in fire on both video and recorded audio.
Two shooters makes a LOT more sense than one doofus.
Amazingly most of that audio and video has vanished.....
They sure wrapped up that case of dung in a nice, neat package. I don’t believe it as reported.
ANTIFA AND ISIS? Together? Sounds like they’re just throwing theories against the wall to see what sticks.
Either group would be bragging to anyone that would listen if they did it.
Here is my shocked face :-|
Not much point for ISIS if they don’t claim it.
Antifa? They want gun control?
more probable is botched hit on SA king who was in LV at the time.
Stephen Paddock had a history that smells a lot like "high-level agency informant" with a grant of immunity to commit various crimes. He had a lot of money with no visible means of earning it.
I guess that he involved in a complex terrorist project and was "made" by his erstwhile partners, who then disposed of him during the operation. I believe he had several partners and they all got away clean.
Except for the video records.
Just another agency infiltration operation that went really bad. A "lone wolf" action. Nothing to see here. That's the story and we'll stick to it. Probably ISIS but let's suggest ANTIFA could be to blame because those leads are dead ends and will discredit future investigators.
