Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), the ranking Republican member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked FBI Director Christopher Wray in a letter Friday to recant his testimony before Congress in which he questioned if former President Trump was grazed by a bullet or shrapnel during the attempted assassination at a rally in Butler, Pa.
“It is clear to everyone that President Trump survived an assassination attempt by millimeters, as the attempted assassin’s bullet ripped the upper part of his ear. This was made clear in briefings my office received and should not be a point of contention. Therefore, I urge you to immediately correct your statement and acknowledge that President Trump was hit by a bullet rather than glass or shrapnel,” Graham wrote to Wray.

Will he vote to cut the FBI budget? Will he vote to have a complete review of FBI policies and political bias and fire anyone engaging in bias? Or will it end with the strongly worded letter? Gee, I wonder.
Go lay down Miss Lindsey. You are a worthless POS, and no true Conservative gives a crap what you think or say, because you play from both sides, and can’t be trusted.
I bet it was a stern letter!
Listen mister, can’t you see
Ooh. Scary Lindsey.
“In a letter?”
It’s not even “sternly-worded”.
What difference does it make? Clearly bullets were flying, aimed at Trump. Whether he was nicked by a bullet or shrapnel speak only to the accuracy of the shooter. It was still an obvious assassination attempt, enabled by the benign neglect of the Secret Service in securing the site.
Linda following the South Carolina tradition of Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott of “all talk and no do”.
Birds were seen flying all over that venue prior to the shooting. It could have been bird beak fragments.
Shrapnel? They are grasping at straws.
ˈ
There would be ample evidence at the shooting scene of shrapnel-——
fragments of a bullet containing sharp pieces of metal -——that burst short of impact.
Did the FBI even look for these at the scene.....which they are claiming hit Trump’s ear?
Shrapnel refers to pieces of a bullet that has exploded.
This is common during wars, when many soldiers are treated for shrapnel wounds.....hurt by
flying shrapnel — sharp, dangerous shards of metal from exploding bombs, shells or bullets.
The heads of the Secret Service (Cheatle has resigned), FBI’s Wray, and Mayorkas’ Dept of Homeland Security have reportedly declined to testify at the second Congressional hearing into Trump’s attempted assassination.
<><>As of May 23, 2023, the $10 billion tax-subsidized Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had some 10,000 special agents and approximately 35,000 support professionals: intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists.
Yet, Biden, the FBI, Mayorkas and Cheatle denied Trump’s request for increased security. The Biden regime sent $200,000,000,000 tax dollars to Ukraine to protect its people, but could not find the tax dollars to beef up security for a presidential candidate.
Those payroll numbers sound alarmingly suspicious——like the age-old scam of putting phantom names on the payroll with the attendant eye-popping financial windfall, ending with several govt pensions for whoever’s cashing in.
Let’s get Congress to check it out.

Message: Payroll fraud is widespread and easy to pull off on the govt payroll.
There are several methodologies used, including
<><>submitting falsified time sheets,
<><>issuing unauthorized paychecks, healthcare, bonuses, benefits and overtime
<><>enrolling fictitious employees in pension plans.
The govt fraudster simply sets up fictitious employees and arranges for them to receive a salary,
benefits, overtime payments, bonuses and pensions, even though they do not perform any duties.
The fraudster then diverts the fraudulent payments into their bank account or that of an accomplice.
Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.
Addendum
S/S Director Cheatle’s resignation should not deter us from determining the true significance
of the stunning payroll numbers coming out of the Trump shooting debacle.
<><>Cheatle employed 7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Force Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, eternal healthcare, bonuses, and pensions.
Roughly half of the Secret Service’s $3 billion budget is spent on protective services. It also has a robust cybercrime division, state-of-the-art forensic labs and a threat-assessment center that studies how to mitigate and train against threats.
<><>Mayorkas heads The Dept of Homeland Security which has more than 260,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector on the govt payroll as of Jun 11, 2024.
The Homeland Security bill includes $91.515 billion in total discretionary appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security, including $62.793 billion within the bill’s allocation, $5.837 billion in discretionary appropriations offset by fee collections, and a $20.261 billion allocation adjustment for major response events.
<><>Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division received $2.5 billion tax dollars, an increase of $123 million above fiscal year 2023. The agency apparently “lent” employees to Cheatle and has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With tax-paid perks privileges healthcare bonuses and pensions.
<><>The Executive Office of the President employs
1800 tax-paid individuals, some 584 in the WH alone on a budget of $714 million.
If he was hit with a watermelon seed, fired from a potato gun by a similar asshole as thou from a roof, such as it was, to draw blood and cause trauma to a nation . . . nay, a WORLD . . . . it would be no less important.
I . . . . WE . . . . are prepared for President Trump 2024 and you should be a little bit nervous.
How about legislating the feebs out of existence and send it to the House to defund?
Question your assumptions. If the bullet wasn't aimed at Trump then it wasn't an assassination attempt, but merely homicide having nothing to do with the President. So it's not an FBI or USSS matter, there is no criminal negligence or conspiracy to assassinate Trump. It's a matter for the local police and the fedarel gubmint and judiciary can just stay out of it. PS, how much did we send the local DA? Get him on the phone and tell him he knows what he is supposed to do here.
And that my friend is no more BS than the Bushie BS spewing forth from Wray's mouth.
gaslighting the Rats, marginalizing the assassination attempt
And there Ms Liz, is your problem. Johnson funded them for FY 2024. Not a CR not a budget cut. Full funding. The only constitutional issue is that if the House doesn't pass a spending bill no one can spend the money.
OBTW, that is exactly his intent.
They should not spend a dime researching this. They are doing it for purely political reasons.
