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...
