Congress Must Appoint An Independent Investigator For The Assassination Attempt

Currently, Congress seems content to allow the FBI to investigate what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. This is the wrong approach. Because the government has an incentive to hide its own failures, when it comes to the attempt to assassinate Trump, especially given the U.S. Secret Service’s known failures, the must be an independent investigation.

During my career, I worked several times with the United States Secret Service (“USSS”) on protective details when presidents and candidates came to our city. I believe the attempt to assassinate former President Trump was a horrific, epic failure, to say the least, with preplanning, communication failures, resource skimping, and more (See Sen. Hawley’s onsite report and letter to DHS). The assassin flew a surveillance drone over the site!

I assume the USSS is lining up scapegoats. (Cheatle’s resignation counts as the first sacrificial lamb.) The agencies involved will gloss over or ignore the root causes and the domestic and foreign operators, including the Biden administration and others, that may be involved in what happened in Butler.

I strongly advise the House not to rely on any Executive Branch investigations, whether by the Office of the President, the DOJ, DHS, FBI, CIA, DHS, or others. These agencies will slow-roll any requests for information, as we’ve already witnessed firsthand (e.g., the Biden interview tape), under the guise of national security, either to cover for criminality or gross ineptitude. This investigation must be thorough, complete, and expeditious. Because of exigent national security concerns, this investigation must be carried out quickly.

This is especially true because the assassination attempt against President Trump is only the tip of the iceberg. I believe that there is an extensive and ongoing RICO conspiracy from inside and outside of our government that must be crushed. Unfortunately, those agencies...

[MtnClimber]

A RICO conspiracy against President Trump which would cause exactly who to be the prime suspects?

[maddog55]

I don’t trust the government to go anything right and I would expect any “independent” investigator to be anything but independent.

[Joe 6-pack]

They should appoint a sitting senator from Massachusetts to lead the investigation, and call it the Warren Commission.

Can't go wrong with a name like that.

[Sacajaweau]

No...Independent is done behind the scenes. Let Congress nail these folks just like they nailed Cheatle.

[MtnClimber]

I would start with looking into who was in the 2nd floor of the building behind Crooks and get powder residue swabbing done to determine if any shots came from within that building.

As is apparent to many who have considered the evidence at the Butler rally, there were too many coincidences for this not to have been a well-planned professional assassination. The local kid with no experience served only as a distraction to draw attention away from what really happened.

As Carl Jung and Leroy Jethro Gibbs said, "There are no coincidences."

[Erik Latranyi]

Let the investigation be led by Dan Bongino and Brandon Herrera.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

The FIB was onsite for days afterward with no one else allowed in.

All evidence of a second shooter has, by now, been scrubbed clean.

[Manic_Episode]

I hear Jack Smith is available.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

There is NO OTHER PATH forward.

[albie]

Where are they gonna find one of those?

[MtnClimber]

All evidence of a second shooter has, by now, been scrubbed clean.

Get evidence of the cleanup. All involved are accessories after the fact.

[MtnClimber]

I wonder how many rounds were left in Crooks gun/magazine?

Sadly, I have little hope of getting any official answers from this administration. The people will have to gather the facts independently and wait till Trump gets back in to handle indictments. But politically speaking the House should impeach Mayorkas. I know he’s already been impeached on the border and Schumer refused to act on it, but they need to do it again, this time for stonewalling about the assassination. And make the Senate go on record for letting him off again, this time for covering up an assassination plot.

[Sacajaweau]

That would be based on the assumption it was a full clip...

[shotgun]

Some suggestions:

Mueller and his crack team of Russian hunters.
Jack Smith has some free time.
Alvin Bragg could crack the case

[Redleg Duke]

Mr. Magoo

[Fester Chugabrew]

I believe the attempt to assassinate former President Trump was a horrific, epic failure . . . .

I believe it was a plot involving a number of alphabet agencies.

Or, how many empty cases were found on the roof of the first building? I think we will never be able to trust it when the say eight.
