Proper headline would have read

Asshole Speaks

Teleprompter screens intact after the shooting. Once again wray proves he is an idiot or a liar. It can only be one or the other.

[Thrownatbirth]

Wray lies his ass off. He lied about the extent of an FBI undercover operation investigating TLM Catholics. It was not “one field office”. It was nationwide at every field office.

[Sequoyah101]

I pray we see a lot less, like none, of them in the future.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Don’t worry...Wray’s FBI will get to the bottom of it in their investigation. (yes, I’m joking).

What a petty little man.

‘With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,’ Wray said.

[mairdie]

If it was a bullet, then all the stories about how Trump was almost killed but turned his head in time to avoid a bullet in the brain generate enormous sympathy for a man almost killed.

If it was shrapnel, then there is a much lower probability that he was actually in danger of death and, therefore, not deserving of great sympathy because he just got knicked by flying debris.

In one case, he’s in the history books for an assassination attempt that hit him.

In the second case, you could argue that the shooter was aiming at a mass killing and Trump was just an accidental casualty and a footnote in history rather than a main entry.

And even if it were shrapnel, what would have happened if it struck his head?

[Blue Highway]

I thought it was a flare gun but whatever he’s an imbecile

[midwest_hiker]

Alex jones denied a shooting and look what this got him.

Imagine the magician-like skills it would have taken for PDJT to have effected this bloody hole in the upper pinna of his right ear at just the very second shots would begin to ring out at the Butler Rally!

Sorry, Director Wray, your whacked-out conspiracy theory just doesn't jibe with the contemporaneous evidence!

[CrazyCatChick]

It wouldn’t have mattered if PDJT hadn’t been hit by anything. An assassin was shooting at his head. Is it only an assassination attempt if there’s blood?

[Candor7]

SHrapnel from what, a flying dweevilferdy?

The FBI has very substadard inflormation if this is whatt hey are saying. Wray does not know much about what happened.

Neither teleprompter glass was struck.They both were intact.

So many pathetic government employees need waterboarded,,,so many.

[Brandonmark]

Applying the same logic, Reagan wasn’t shot either. He was wounded by fragments of shrapnel after the bullet struck the car.

Maybe Lincoln was hit by a fragment that bounced back when Booth's bullet hit the guard rail of the Presidents Box at Ford's Theater.

[Paladin2]

Will Trump get a tat to go with his piercing?

[Colorado Doug]

Great that Wray is investigating this. He will likely conclude that no gun was fired.
