OK, here’s my take on this. How is it so many got infected, and showed symptoms so fast? Now that is the issue I have. Aerosol? In the Air Conditioning? The water bottles? Was this an assassination attempt?

Too many conspiracy nuts around here. Look at the videos and photos of the Barrett Rose Garden Event. Looks like about only a third of the attendees wore a mask. The seats were a foot apart if that. And there were a lot of handshakes and hugs. One spreader at the event could easily contaminate several high ranking republicans. And of course, no high ranking RATs have tested positive for the simple reason that they did not attend the Rose Garden Event. Sometimes a square is just a square and a circle is just a circle.

Except that every single person that comes close to the President or comes to the White House is tested. And masks are pretty much worthless.
There is no way the entire Trump campaign heads are taken out at the same time (McDaniel, Parscale and Bill Stepien), even as THREE Judicial Committee members who will confirm Amy Barret test positive at the same time as well. The odds of all that happening at about the same time, entirely by chance is about one in a billion.

I wonder how many of the FReepers on this thread squawking “they were all tested” have ever had a bogus lab test result of some sort? The majority who are over 60, I would bet.

“One spreader at the event”

All the people were tested before the event. And you evidently think the deep state is too honorable to try to infect Trump.

Circle is just a circle and a boxcar is just a train ride.
