Plausible deniability?
American Thinker ^ | 28 Jul, 2024 | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 07/28/2024 5:17:13 AM PDT by MtnClimber

On July 18, in Trump attempt: why didn’t they shoot?, I suggested the government, in its Secret Service (SS) pseudo-protection of Donald Trump, was creating security vulnerabilities with plausible deniability. Were those vulnerabilities due to Trump Derangement Syndrome? Were those creating them doing it purposely with the hope someone would exploit them and kill Trump? Were they simply practicing contemporary Democract/socialist/communist (D/s/c) politics, playing hardball, and doing all they could to harass and hamper Trump without necessarily hoping he’d be killed? Or was the 20-year-old a doomed patsy, manipulated from the beginning, part of an assassination plot that would allow plausible deniability? Cops hate to be called incompetent and will do virtually anything to avoid it—unless the alternative is worse. Was someone willing to allow the SS to look like total idiots to rid themselves of Trump?

Because the FBI is saying virtually nothing, other than to contradict itself, conspiracy theories abound. Much of what seems credibly known comes from whistleblowers. We’re in the bizarre position of being unable to tell the difference between all but unbelievable incompetence and a malicious assassination plot.

This seems to be the current state of knowledge:

*Local LE was supposedly assigned to secure the roof and single-story building from where the assassin fired, but either didn’t show up or left because it was too hot, leaving the building unsecured.

*There were supposedly 2-3 local LE, perhaps snipers (and spotters?), in the second story of an attached two-story building with a clear view of the lower building and rooftop and the open lane to the stage, but all left for various reasons, including looking for the assassin who was, at various times over as long as an hour, spotted with a rangefinder, backpack and perhaps a ladder.

The FBI has scrubbed the scene and not many people will believe their report or their testimony. The audio from several locations is being reviewed by private citizens. This is likely the only believable data to be had.

It’s worse. The shooter was a patsy. The SS / FBI conducted the assassination.

- *Local LE was supposedly assigned to secure the roof and single-story building from where the assassin fired,...

I wonder if the SS sharpshooter/spotter behind Trump did not fire on the assassin because they initially thought he was the local LE sharpshooter that was supposed to be at that post.

Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of screwups all day long. I just don’t understand how the SS did not notice/engage the assassin earlier.

Crooks was behind the ridge of the roof until he got ready to shoot. The SS sniper could not see him.

I’d bet a dozen doughnuts that Myorkas is at the center of all this.

When you also consider the following the picture becomes clear:

1. A large financial group shorted 12 million shares of Trump Company stocks, only to claim it was a mistake after the failed shooting of trump.

2. It has been reported that the FBI put out a statement to the Trump camp that, “No more large outdoor rallies of ELSE” or else what?

3. Of the 3 men inside the building one is reported to have gone home, one was out looking for the shooter and locked himself out of the building and the third left to go open the door for the second. The shooter climbed on to the roof during this very short time.

4. Trump was denied proper SS services.

5. To hit a target at 150 yards with an iron sight takes an advanced trained shooter.

I agree, I think Mayorkas is dirty on this. Early rumor was he told everyone to keep their mouths shut, don’t know if that is true, but we all know he lies for a living.

100%

I don’t accept the “incompetence” or “opening vulnerabilities” or “plausible deniability”. It was a government hit. And I don’t think Crooks fired the bullet that hit Trump.

Supposedly the a Police officer saw Crooks on the roof and backed off when Crooks pointed his riffle at him?

So, for future reference ..I want to know ..if I want the police to leave me alone I should point a gun at them?

Supposedly one was on another’s shoulders, holding on to a rain gutter - so both hands tied up, then he points the gun, at least one falls over

Keystone Cops routine - this whole thing reeks of “planned incompetence” and a major failure on the part of the Secret Service - even bumbling local cops should be factored in

There’s NO excuse for the Secret Service to allow this type of scenario to occur

Once the patsy was dead, the professional snipers lost their cover and held off (to shoot another day?).

It’s real close here wrt definitions. I certainly believe they tried to ‘engineer’ the perfect confluence of events that could possibly result in an assassination attempt, but still have plausible deniability even as thin and wisping as it has turned out to be.

There is just too much going on here to be anything otherwise.

Even so. If the SS sniper (why just the one, btw?) and his spotter couldn’t see him, there were dozens and dozens of others that DID see him. There’s something new out now. They’re called radios. I hear they work pretty good. Even small enough now to just have ear buds in and all that. Where’s all the recording and transcripts of that traffic?

I recall hearing that the local LEO and SS radios were not interoperable. I also heard that there are no radio recordings.
