Wray suggested that it could be a bullet, shrapnel or glass. "There is absolutely no evidence it was anything other than a bullet."

Legally, it’s a difference without a distinction, shooter caused bullets and shrapnel to fly, anyone hit is a victim of an assassination attempt

100%

[House Atreides]

“ I’m not sure why it matters. Bullets were fired, one was killed, others including President Trump, were injured. Whether the bullet hit glass and the glass hit him, or whatever else may have occurred, the fact remained that this was an assassination attempt that resulted in injury to a U.S. President.”
***********************************************************

Flying glass from WHERE one would want to know. Glass fro Director Wray’s imagination?

[Leaning Right]

I’m surprised that Wray didn’t suggest that Trump just happened to be hit by a small meteor the instance the shooter took his shot.

These people not only lie. They lie with complete confidence and no shame.

Please, Mr. Trump. If the country is fortunate enough to return you to the White House, root out and fire all this vermin. But go deeper than that. Fire all their assistants and deputies too.

[CurlyDave]

Wray wants to be fired.

[BrandtMichaels]

I think there’s a meme in there...

Are you gonna believe your lying eyes or the FB-I (eyes!)?

[grobdriver]

This is stupid - it doesn’t matter. Why are they making anything out of it?

[Adder]

Glass from what? Shrapnel from what?

From the video, the only thing it could realistically be is a bullet.

Trump needs to fire Wray day 1 or 2. Should have done it first go round.

To 1) get him alone to finish the job and/or 2) to get President Trump on some made up charges

[DugwayDuke]

The article is cherry picking. Here is the complete statement:
‘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.

‘I don’t know right now whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else.’

Wray clearly states that Trump was grazed by “that bullet”. The question posed by Wray is where “that bullet” finally landed.

[AndyJackson]

Well the crime is lying to the FBI, but Wray could claim it’s not a crime since he was only lying to himself and he is ok with that so there.

[SJackson]

To quote Hillary, a first for me I think, What difference, at this point, does it make? Fortunately it was a minor wound, if from shrapnel, what does that matter.

I seen estimates of shrapnel wounds as high as 70% to 80% in combat injuries. Per In the latest U.S. Army involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, Improvised explosive devices and gunshots were two major mechanisms of injury (40% and 9%, respectively).30 Other reports quoting “Red Cross statistics for limited conflict” indicate 23% wounded by mines, 26% from bullets, 46% from shrapnel, 2% from burns, and 3% from miscellaneous.16 Add the mine wounds to shrapnel you get 69%.

Seems irrelevant to me. I've no law enforcement experience, but if the question interested me I'd have agents, hour 1, looking for evidence of shrapnel. There couldn't possibly be only one piece. And other shrapnel injuries around President Trump. The idea that Trump, smart and courageous as he is, would know if he was hit be a bullet or shrapnel is absurd.

That said, I can understand they'd want to interview him. I doubt it, but maybe he saw the assassin law enforcement missed.

NASA said it's possible it could have been a small tiny meteorite fragment which hit Trumps ear...The fragment that hit the victim below was big larger. So anything is possible.

[gibsonguy]

Trump gave back stabbing prick his position and he has screwed Trump at every opportunity since.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“””Wray clearly states that Trump was grazed by “that bullet”. The question posed by Wray is where “that bullet” finally landed.””””

When Wray said Trump was ‘grazed’ it reminded me of my childhood days of playing cowboys and indians. Where we would call out ‘you only winged me’.

When a bullet goes through a person’s ear lobe that is more than grazing. In childhood talk such a wound would have been called ‘you winged me’.

[surrey]

He also said he saw no cognitive decline in Biden. Sure.
Then again ,he’s probably never been in Biden’s presence.

[kawhill]

Well ok. For a little while there I thought Wray was going to state that it was nothing more than fragmentation from an 81mm mortar round.

[EandH Dad]

It COULD have been a meteor. Or falling space debris. It could have been plaid monkeys flying out of my ass but I think we all know it was a bullet. Someone tell Wray.

[Ragnar54]

If it had been shrapnel, there would have been evidence (sound, other fragments) of the bullet creating the shrapnel. Despite intensive review of many videos, there has been no claim of an impact in front of President Trump. Maybe it was a magic bullet caused by climate change.
