I still want to know more about Maxwell Yearick.

Option 4 is the simplest explanation.

I pray President Trump has trusted security of his own because the same thugs that tried to murder him are still employed in the various gestapo three letter agencies. And now that he is finally sworn in they are more dangerous than ever.

What is problematic with stories like this, is that so many of the past “conspiracy theories” have come true.

Yes. Those who said in 1964+ that Kennedy was assassinated as part of a CIA plot were dismissed as lunatics. This notion doesn’t seem so crazy today.

Three out of a hundred factoids that are very strange about this: 1) the FBI told the family to cremate the body right after the shooting; 2) Heritage Foundation found clicks on his cell phone to a location near the FBI DC Headquarters; 3) it took the police five hours to identify him and get to his parents house where he lived; two hours before, CNN had called his father to tell him of the murder. the house was squeaky clean when the police arrived two hours later.

I think this is part of the reason Trump hit the ground running with EOs and Cabinet appointments... he knows he's going to be in danger the whole four years. He's got to get stuff done as fast as possible.

Hopefully Trump will get to the bottom of this. Speaking of this, hopefully he already fired the acting director of the secret service.

“The government will not commit an assination on U.S. territory”. = what color is the sky in your world?

I’m going with Option #4. Government ‘groomed’ him to become highly agitated and against Trump. Provided him with all the right triggers, and then sat back and allowed whatever to happen.

That is what I think is most likely too.

It should be investigated as an option 4. Let the government prove it wasn’t.

Didn’t corrupt Joe Biden say in the early summer and with a twinkle in his eye, that he didn’t know if Trump would be able to overcome the challenge he faced?

What struck me from the interview:

Crook had a remote detonator to detonate the explosives in his vehicle

So he planned to make a melee after the assassination.

Most likely part of a getaway plan

The detonators were turned off at the car.

Someone turned them off.

His handlers/manipulators were on site at Butler at the assassinations attempt.

1. Government SOP is to hide information from the public.
2. Government takes a long time to sort things out, for a variety of reasons, some of them legitimate. But is the overall slow-walking necessary, or part of managing public perceptions and emotions?
3. Government secrecy and manipulation of public perceptions and emotions stimulates conspiracy theories and distrust.

Q: Does the government consider public turmoil and confusion a bug or a feature?

They didn’t want him to live.

This is an amazing interview. Tucker interviews with such clarity!

Two very important aspects Tucker may have overlooked and not mentioned:

1. Crooks was spotted by the crowd for about 1.5 minutes by people in the crowd who pointed out there is a man with a gun on the roof! DURING THIS TIME THE SECRET SERVICE DID NOT REMOVE TRUMP FROM THE PODIUM, ALLOWING TRUMP TO ALMOST BE KILLED, A MAN TO BE MURDERED AND TWO TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

2. The second potential assassin, Routh, was spotted by a SS agent who fired 10 shots at the fleeing criminal. All 10 shots missed! Routh critically injured a 6 year old girl while trying to escape!

No one was fired in these debacles!
