Biden says he's directing an independent review of Trump assassination attempt, will address nation from Oval Office Sunday night

Washington — President Biden spoke Sunday about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying he is directing an independent review of the security and events at the Pennsylvania rally to determine what went wrong. The president said he will speak to the nation further from the Oval Office Sunday night.

One spectator was killed at the rally and two were critically wounded. Trump was injured with a graze wound to his ear. Mr. Biden said he wants to ensure Trump gets the security he needs.

"Last night, I spoke with Donald Trump," the president said in his Sunday afternoon remarks. "I'm sincerely grateful that he's doing well and recovering. We had a short but good conversation. Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim that was killed."

The president also spoke briefly Saturday night in Delaware after Trump, with blood visible on his face, was whisked off stage at a Pennsylvania rally when a gunman's bullet grazed his ear. The president, who has been updated regularly by top administration officials, received another briefing in the White House Situation Room on Sunday.

"We don't yet have any information about the motive of the shooter, we know who he is," the president said Sunday, without naming the suspect, who was identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after opening fire.

“will address nation from Oval Office Sunday night” Why? He already made a statement today.

Doesn’t his 48-hour ultimatum expire tonight? Could DementiaJ be about to tap out?

We don’t need term limits, we need age limits.

Probably need both.

Johnson should open his own (House) investigation regardless of what Biden does.

The House of Representatives will never successfully investigate this.

One very important reason is the Chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.

His name is Mike Turner (R, OH)

The Deep State owns him.

Nothing to see here. It’s officially established. Anyone who engages in conspiracy theories and misinformation should be shadow banned.

Truth Also…

Here’s my reporting on why the Secret Service did not shoot until AFTER the shooter engaged and some context about the House Republicans’ investigation already underway (months before Trump’s assassination attempt) into whether the agency’s DEI policies are affecting its…— Susan Crabtree (@susancrabtree) July 14, 2024

Maybe he’ll tell us that he knows all about this because his son was assassinated.

“We have investigated ourselves and have found no irregularities.”

Or.....

If there are official screw ups that are found they will be a full report provided.

3 years from now.

Or....

They will get the Warren Report. Dust it off and rewrite it to fit yesterday’s actions.

Don’t be surprised if Biden withdraws from the Presidential Race tonight. Stay tuned!

________________________________________________

Tomorrow. Even before the shooting there was wide speculation Biden would not just withdraw, but resign. Tomorrow.

Paraphrasing LBJ.... “I shall not seek. Nor will I accept.. The Thing!”

I can’t wait to see Biden doing a reenactment of Nixon as he waives goodbye at Marine One.

Also.... I remember reading that only one member of the Warren Commission actually went to The School Book Depository. He concluded the official version was crap.

Jack Ruby killing Oswald on Nov. 24 is pretty clear evidence that Oswald was not a “lone wolf.” But the mystery is why Oswald killed Officer Tippit.

I’m waiting to see how he contrasts the death of the innocent victims to Beau.

Who died in Iraq and was eaten by cannibals.

Biden has a knack for turning every crisis into a sob story about him.

I still remember his telling the Lahaina Fire victims he understood their pain. Since he once had a kitchen fire in his home in Delaware.

Yes. I believe Oswald fired. But he didn’t kill Kennedy.

But he did kill Officer Tippit.

??????????

One of the documents released a couple of years ago a stunning revelation—totally ignored by the mass media.

It was a handwritten draft of the Warren Commission Report with written comments in the margin by commission members.

One Commission member edited the drawing that showed where one bullet entered JFK’s body. He moved it several inches.

You might wonder which member of the Commission was an expert in forensic pathology. :-)

His name.....

Gerald Ford.

(Ford was “owned” by J Edgar Hoover who had blackmail files on Ford’s visits to the Kit Kat Club in DC. Hoover used this club as a “honey-pot” to entrap other politicians as well. Needless to say Ford had zero expertise on this subject—he obeyed Hoover’s orders.)

Wonder if it’s from the real Oval Office or the fake one they set up as a studio set.
