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 about the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive 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 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.

I guess I’m not to believe my lying eyes. What, pray tell, did the bullet hit that caused shrapnel to hit his LEFT ear, which was turned toward the crowd?

Shrapnel = Idiotic, unbased blathering from the MSM.

Add in ‘complex’, ongoing, contradictory statements by Wrey, et.al.

Kind of like a Claymore against Trump.

Also... does it really matter? Trump was shot at. This is what the Deep State is trying to push into the background...

I don’t think anyone was. There were seven or eight shots, but only four people were hit.

Click bait. He said the bullet hit the ear:

“’I don’t know right now whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, “

Ok,
How about this?

JFK was “Shrapnel”
Trump was “climate change”

But I did question: Who was it behind Trump that got hit by the bullet that nicked his ear??? Anyone??

Did you question what made the bullet fragment, where are the fragments and who else or what else got hit by the fragments?

“Never in the history of the FBI has the Director insinuated that a shooting victim was injured by something other than a bullet.”

And he didn’t this time.

That should be disqualifying for Wray and he should resign, be fired, or impeached.

The bullet from a .22 long rifle is a small projectile. Shrapnel??? Don’t be ridiculous.

Now, why would it matter? Was the bullet intended for Trump?

Clearly he was the intended target, but yes lets seed that doubt that the bullet, caught on film whizzing at his head, isn’t what actually hit him... It just miraculously caught something else mid air in those couple of feet between where is’s caught in the photo and his ear... some miraculous object popped up between the two in that fraction of a second.

These people are just scum.

Unless the bullet fractured in flight, he was struck with a bullet. If it did fracture. He was struck with a bullet fragment.

WRAY was stupid for making that comment.

It’s just another goose chase- distraction away from the real story. Now we can all debate whether it was shrapnel or a bullet and ignore the extreme negligence/set up, as well as WTF the parents are doing.

exactly- whether it was a bullet or shrapnel created by a bullet, it all came from the Prez being shot at. very curious statement. i suppose he knows he is a Dead Duck on 1/20/25 when Victory is ours.

Read the article again carefully. Then go over the existing evidence. If you then believe Trump was hit with something other than a bullet, which he heard incidentally, give us your thoughts.
