FBI director casts doubt on whether Trump was struck by bullet during assassination attempt at rally

The FBI's director has cast doubt on whether Donald Trump was struck by a bullet during the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania political rally.

Christopher Wray was updating Congress on the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement.

'There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,' Wray said.

Wray was addressing security failures that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to open fire. Crooks, 20, killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injured two others including Trump during the shooting.

The presidential hopeful has since given extensive accounts of the moment he was shot and was seen sporting a bandage over his ear.

'When I went down, bullets were coming over my head and you hear them, it's like a zip, zip,' he said.

The former president claims his Secret Service detail 'thought it was over when I went down' because of 'a lot of blood coming' after his ear was grazed.

Trump, 78, argued with his agents, telling them how he was 'not going on a stretcher' and instead vowed to 'get up'.

He added that a last minute turn of the head to glance at a screen is what saved him from the bullet.

'I'm supposed to be dead. The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn, but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount,' he added, saying he survived 'by luck or by God'.

Some initial reports on the day of the shooting speculated that Trump may have been struck by a shattered piece of glass when a bullet struck the teleprompter.

The teleprompter theory, however, was debunked when photos showed that both glass screens were in tact after the attack.

I actually just looked into who recommended Wray to Trump, it was good ole Chris Christie. Wray defended Christie in Bridgegate to the tune of $2.1 million billed to NJ taxpayers.

Right—Senior Executive Service Government Teat-Sucker Wray is blithely trying to “de-mytholigize” Trump in real time.

He’s a goner in January 2025 for sure.

He also proved that he belongs in prison. No one in the FBI should be a political activist much less the director.

Why would this smelly jackass even try to raise the possibility of such a distinction?

Because the smelly jackass was involved in the planning for the political murder.

It's how the DC Uniparty rolls.

Not surprising. Wray must not have seen the pic of the bullet streak that passed by Trump’s head that’s been posted on several internet news sites. Wray’s claim that it may not have been a bullet is only to incite doubt and confusion just adds credence to the theory that it was a government hit operation.

Wray appears to not know the difference between a cartidge and casing...a cartridge is a complete unit comprising casing bullet primer and powder...how many casings or spent brass were found on the roof? How many unfired cartridges. Ie how many cartridges did the patsy have in his rifle or on his person or in his backpack on the roof?

Get him on the witness stand:
Mr. Wray, are you a licensed physician?

Have you examined the wound to President Trump's ear?

So Mr. Wray, you have no medical training at all and have not examined the wound?

Your honor, I'm done with this witness. Get this punk out of here.

Great! Headlines such as this will feed the left’s narrative that Trump wasn’t injured at all, or was injured by a piece of the teleprompter, or it was all a set-up by his staff to increase support for his ‘failing’ campaign.

Wray doesn’t pass the “smell test”, but he stinks to high heaven anyway. What a total POS.

comments like this, are the reason people have a problem trusting the fibbers. What are the chances ‘shrapnel’ would make a round hole?

It is a leftist tactic to slowly change facts until those new “truths” are the opposite of what really happened.

This will morph from being a bullet to shrapnel.
THEN...
It will become an injury from when the Secret Service intervened.
THEN...
The new truth will be Trump fell on stage and the Secret Service helped him after he suffered a medical emergency.

They found eight bullet casings near Crooks’ dead body. Were they filled with glass? . . . I thought not.
