So much b.s. in this article.

Why would anyone think the shooter did not have help?

This must be taken in context. Lawfare, imprisonment, revocation of SS protection: it is clear Democrats have been advocating suppression or even the murder of Trump with impunity.

The FBI is not qualified to investigate this.

“So much b.s. in this article.”

This, right at the start. I’d say it wasn’t.

You don’t have to be a genius to mount an assassination attempt. Literal dictators have been killed by assassins over the centuries, despite serious security precautions, and in much more controlled security settings. The key elements necessary to pull it off are above average intelligence and a willingness to die, if necessary.

If you wanted to put Joe Biden in the ground, you could probably get really close. But it would be a one-way mission.

Rich Hanania has an essay on how in recent decades, political assassinations seem to have petered out. We can only hope that this attempt isn’t the start of a new and disturbing trend.

Starting in 2009, the civil service has binged on incompetent hires. This disaster was over a decade in coming. Bill Shipley, former DOJ prosecutor and current J6 defense lawyer, on what has wrecked the FBI since Obama’s tenure:

[Re the revelation this morning that an FBI Supervisor has come forward as a whistleblower to reveal that FBI management has been pushing out Agents deemed to have conservative — i.e., “Anti-Government” — political beliefs.
This is exactly in line what I have been saying here about the manner in which the FBI Agent work — and therefore management — turns over during a 25 year cycle.
Many of the Agents that have advanced into upper levels of management now were hired during the first Obama Administration.

The Bureau made a very obvious and impactful decision in its recruiting priorities. No longer were former military or state/local law enforcement agents the “preferred” candidates. The priority became reshaping the workforce to “look like society as a whole.”

College campuses were the recruiting grounds. Professional degrees in accounting, law, engineering were no longer valued above soft social science degrees.

Prior law enforcement or military experience in leadership was now an hindrance to FBI training for a new century.

What the whistleblower is reporting is the natural evolution of that. Those moving into upper management learned in college that conservatism is not a legitimate political viewpoint. It cannot be given equal space in society to liberal/progressive outlooks on societal problems.

So conservatives in the ranks of the FBI must be made to leave.]

It would be unsurprising if the Secret Service has undergone a similar purge, trading competence and relevant experience or knowledge for ideological compatibility. That may be at the root of its current dysfunction.

“They” handed him Trumps head on a platter. I would believe there was just a bit of buck fever in there. The kid missed hit target but the other two didn’t miss their’s.
