The Democrat Assassination Left's Media Ignored Motivations.

Still no evidence that Maxwell Yearick is still amongst the living.

Gonna keep hammering on that.

Odd. Eric Trump just said he was satisfied with the FBI investigation.

[1Old Pro]

Eric Trump just said he was satisfied with the FBI investigation.

was that before or after he said he was not satisfied.

[AZJeep]

I still cannot understand, why they let him get on that roof?
From what little I know about security, even I know that roofs and high level windows are the first things they should secure.
Same with Charlie Kirk assassination!

[iamgalt]

Never forget:
They knew there was a guy on the roof with a clear shot.
1. They let Trump take the stage
2. The let the gunman take the shot.
3. They executed him within seconds..after he took the shots

Devine noted that then-FBI Director Chris Wray initially told Congress the bureau found nothing in Crooks' online history signaling a motive or ideology. But just a week later, Wray's deputy Paul Abbate testified Crooks had posted antisemitic, anti-immigration, and violent political comments. Devine reports that was only part of the story — and that Abbate "misled Congress by omission."

Wray and Abbate are accessories to an attempted presidential assassination coverup.

It was not botched, it was sanitized, the only failure was that Crooks missed. Ss far as the investigation it did EXACTLY what it was supposed to do, in fact I would say it was likely a complete success.

Plenty of evidence of multiple shooters. Also was Crook even firing at Trump?

[ArcadeQuarters]

> federal authorities have mishandled from the beginning.

Gee, why would they do that?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I think “botched” is being kind. The FBI under Wray deliberately hid information about the shooter to advance the Democrat’s political agenda.

[ArcadeQuarters]

> I still cannot understand, why they let him get on that roof?

Because that was the plan.

[navysealdad]

Your wrong.
Are you satisfied with the answers that we’ve got from the Butler assassination attempt? Thomas Crooks, 20 years old. Why do we know nothing?” Devine asked Eric Trump.

“No,” he promptly replied. “We know nothing. In fact, not only am I unsatisfied, I’m wholly pissed off about it, and I remain … pissed off about it.”

It is not credible that a 17 year old in 2021 did not continue to have online presence. No Facebook, no Instagram, no email, no Wattsapp, no Signal, no Snapchat - the chance of this is “zero point zero Mr. Blutarsky”. The logical conclusion is that it was an inside job organized by Jill’s preferred Secret Service head “sloped roof” Kim Cheatle, with Wray and Brennan giving a wink and a nod. See my tagline below.

[GOPJ]

A source uncovered Crooks' hidden digital footprint, revealing a dramatic ideological flip between January and August 2020, when he went from "rabidly pro-Trump" to "rabidly anti-Trump."

Decent citizens are getting around the corrupt MSM and the equally corrupt democrat party. Nice to see truth winning out.

[Navy Patriot]

Agree!

[Skwor]

Heard that report yesterday and it screamed CIA / MK Ultra for the conspiracy minded.

Given how many conspiracies have been exposed in the last 5 years I am not inclined to dismiss it.

[bray]

Did he have a handler inside DC?

[bobbo666]

In part, those were Jill’s instructions to the SService head she “promoted” and other worthless DEI hires on the security team.

Yeah, the Pres’s wife ordered this.
