A wild conspiracy theory about the woman who was acting strangely behind Donald Trump as he was shot has been condemned.
The woman sparked suspicion over her bizarrely-relaxed behavior after she failed to flinch and even pulled out her phone as shots rang out at the Pennsylvania rally last week.
An outlandish conspiracy theory has since emerged claiming that the woman was FBI assistant director Janeen DiGuiseppi - and that she was directing the sniper who almost killed Trump.
They also alleged the woman they claimed as DiGuiseppi gave a nod before gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire.
But both conservatives and liberals have since condemned the theory.
'If you believe the assistant director of the FBI was sitting front row at a Trump rally to “give instructions” to the shooter, you are an absolute moron. Like, next-level stupid,' a Red State journalist known only as Bonchie wrote on X.

He must have been really naive to think he would ever spend the money, so I don’t give it much weight. It’s just something someone said to me today.
“video cameras compress the depth of field. While it appears that the crowd is sitting mere feet away from the president, it is more likely they were 10-15 yards behind him.”
That is so true. From the front, it looks like they could reach out and touch him. But they’re actually very far away.
He’s my Savior, too, but I’d sure be hitting the deck if I heard gunshots. LOL!
She has no duty to identify herself, and probably doesn’t even know about this whole story. And I don’t see ‘division in the Country’ over this - it’s just another of many silly conspiracy theories that most people don’t bother with or give any credence.
Believe it or not, people are different. They react to sudden,unexpected events in very different ways. There’s nothing ‘fishy’ about that - it’s just the diversity of human nature and psychology.
“if you’re the bad guys would you set so close to the victim?”
That rear audience isn’t close to him at all. It just looks like they’re close.
Easy explanation for this article - Countless bots are posting garbage on social media sites to muddy the waters.
Are there ever any human behaviors that you would label as “suspicious”, or do you always say that everybody does their own thing; nothing to see?
I would give the woman a break. In the face of terror and trauma, denial is often the first reaction. It might of taken her awhile to realize something wasn’t right.
“He looks and reacts like LEO.”
There was a LEO there behind Trump that day. He was interviewed the next day on one of the shows I watch — probably on RAV. He wasn’t there as official LEO, but just one of the attendees, and was scoping out the place trying to figure out who, what, where, etc.
I’m saying that people vary vastly in their reactions to sudden and unexpected events; and in how quickly they react.
Several expert shooters have said that was a shot so easy that a kid could take out a squirrel. Both Trump sons have said that as well as many others such as Bongino. There’s a word they used — maybe “clip shot”.
“He must have been really naive to think he would ever spend the money,”
Are you implying that he might not have understood that he was a patsy? 🤔
Anyway, it’s probably not true about overseas accounts.
Yes. And there are also some possible good explanations for the actions besides just reactions that they don’t control.
It doesn’t seem silly to me for people to wonder what the explanation is.
I presume she’s a Trump supporter. As such, she wouldn’t want people to just overlook something that could be suspicious. I think it would be helpful for her to help people understand what was going through her mind. I’ve heard someone in a different situation describe how she impulsively started recording on her cellphone without regard for her own danger; she laughed about it later at how taken she was by some small detail that it clouded everything else. I just think a human answer would be helpful.
I think that we as a nation need to understand why there is so much skepticism - on both sides of the political aisle. It’s because real questions about potential fraud or crime are not actually addressed when there is a political element to it. And even when crimes are found out in our agencies, they go unpunished while whistleblowers are punished. That breeds the very distrust we’re seeing all over right now. And as long as genuinely suspicious things are blown off as “conspiracy theories” - or even if it’s just that one side or the other has questions that THEY think are suspicious - as long as the evidence is not heard and actually sorted out with integrity and cross-examination, there is just cause for distrust.
This is what we get for ignoring election fraud, falsified records for FISA warrants, etc. I’m sure the left has their things they think are suspicious too. What I’m saying is that if we don’t want distrust then we need to do what it takes to actually CREATE trust. That hasn’t happened in a very, very, very long time. And it is the only way that this nation will ever unite. We can’t just let bygones be bygones. We have to find the truth, sort out what happened that kept us from finding it out before, and do what it takes to keep that from happening again.
I see no connection between this conspiracy theory about the lady in the stands, and ‘ignoring election fraud’.
We have no idea what she thinks, or if she knows anything at all about this.
You could probably write a thesis about many issues on FR; I don’t think this is a good one to choose.
I think there’s an attitude behind the “oh it’s just a conspiracy theory” thing, regardless of what the particular “conspiracy theory” is.
We’ve gotten so lazy and divided that we don’t listen to each other’s questions any more. Even if we have the ability to respectfully provide evidence that will allay their suspicions, we instead flip them the bird and call them conspiracy theorists. That is so disrespectful.
The left thought that election fraud was just a conspiracy theory. The evidence was never allowed to be heard in court because it was just a “conspiracy theory”. All the stuff that we conservatives have been pointing out is ridiculed by the left as just conspiracy theory.
Calling something a conspiracy theory means you don’t have to weigh any evidence or answer anybody’s questions. It’s lazy. And even after we found out that Russia collusion, Mueller’s investigation, the falsified records for FISA warrants, etc were all genuine criminal conspiracies, the perpetrators got off with a slap on the wrist at most. People see that and now EVERYBODY believes the powers-that-be are capable of doing all kinds of conspiracies without anybody ever proving or disproving them with evidence and facts.
This particular issue (of this woman’s behavior) is small, but when you’ve had such big conspiracies overlooked and pooh-poohed you will get people second-guessing EVERYTHING. Which sets us all on shaky ground because of the minds of the people. The lies have broken the minds of our people. We have no reason to trust that the truth will ever be known, and contrary to the views of post-modernism, everybody creating and believing in their own personal “reality” doesn’t work. We have to have things we can know as a people. We are entitled to our own opinions but not our own facts, as Ronald Reagan said (IIRC).
In short (I know; it’s too late. lol) my “thesis” is about how we got to a point of not listening to each other, not caring if another person is honestly confused and seeking answers in good faith, and so divided that we can’t talk rationally with each other in this nation. This is where Alinsky deliberately brought us, and until we understand it and actively fight against it, we will NEVER have healing and the country will be destroyed just as Alinsky intended.
I’m saying there’s a different motive than money. Perhaps being famous like Oswald.
She actually smirked when the first shot rang out.
Well, I think I’ve said all to you that I want to say on this issue. Thanks for the conversation.
These “conspiracy theories” are much closer to the truth than anything coming out of DC. If you’re content to sit back and be spoon fed the lies and cover up, only consuming the official statements, feel free. I’ll continue pounding the conspiracy bushes where eventually we will find the truth.
OK, now we know what you think of the official Secret Service lie and all the other lies and bs coming out of DC. What’s your opinion on this much, much more plausible explanation than anything FBI, SS or DHS will ever tell you? No, I’m not denying that all or part of this wrong. Everything you get out DC is lie.
