FBI director suggests Donald Trump may not have been struck by bullet during assassination attempt at rally

OMG!!! Looks like the FBI is up to its old tricks, like denying that the attempt on Steve Scalise was terrorism. Right now every bit of evidence there is shows it was a bullet wound that Trump suffered, since he heard the characteristic sound of a bullet zinging by, felt the impact, and every doctor who has examined him reports it as a bullet wound. In addition, a New York Times photographer picked up a high-speed shot of the bullet's path heading toward Trump.

Never mind, photos exist of a bullet flying past Trump.

And on the topic of JFK — not only was there no shooter on the grassy knoll, we now think that JFK wasn’t even shot ...

[Captainpaintball]

If he can tone down the ego for once, remove that stupid bandage, and show the world what happened, he can shut them up, mostly. But that would be the smart thing to do.

[Beowulf9]

Athe shooter meant to kill him. So what if it was shrapnel that hit him or not?

[hillarys cankles]

You really gotta search FR before posing. It doesn’t take long

[ComputerGuy]

Trump has gotten way too much mileage from that picture.

Full of Bull, Mr. Wray!

Imagine the magician-like skills it would have taken for PDJT to have effected this bloody hole in the upper pinna of his right ear at just the very second shots would begin to ring out at the Butler Rally!

Sorry, Director Wray, your whacked-out conspiracy theory just doesn't jibe with the contemporaneous evidence!

[cuban leaf]

I’m not asking for proof, but I’d like him to offer some EVIDENCE that that was a possibility.

Otherwise it is just a Big Fat Claim (BFC). (explained below)

What else would it be. The teleprompter was not damaged. He needs to show everyone his ear and make them look bad.

“Schrapnel” — from what source?

The term usually applies to the chaoic products of an explosion. (fragments) Like from a hand grenade or a bomb.

What explosion?

(The bullet photo might be a PhotoShop job, I don’t know.)

[hanamizu]

Shrapnel from what exactly?

[jdege]

Given the sightlines, what would have been the source of the shrapnel?

[blackdog]

It was a high speed piercing. He wanted a hole for a MAGA earring.

[XRdsRev]

Shrapnel can kill you too.

[combat_boots]

What is this? A new form of Stigmata?

[rx]

You're saying that this evidence can make people like you shut up.

Well, then!

Shrapnel from where?…the teleprompter was intact…did the bullet disintegrate in mid air?fn bs…as usual
