The more this gets looked into, the worse it smells. It certainly appears that the overwhelming amount of circumstantial and anecdotal evidence keeps moving towards the conclusion that there are just way too many coincidences, just way too many unintentional screwups and way too many

Instances of gross negligence and incompetence to be able to file this in the folder marked, “Hey man, shit happens!”

Or as Shakespeare so eloquently put it, “there’s something rotten in Denmark”!

But we can rest assured that with people like Christopher Wray, Myorkas and Garland Merrick the truth will prevail and we will all know what “really” happened.

Can I see a quick show of hands of those who believe that last statement? Hmmm, not one hand, well I guess that just proves that you people are nothing but a bunch of conspiracy theorists MAGA cultists.

Having participated in a a couple Presidential, YP, and candidate visits there is no way assets on scene were not in communication, specially with sniper teams on scene. During our briefs we were repeatedly told how SS snipers almost took out a Philly sniper team who decided to get a better look at a presidential visit without comms back to HQ.

Now there is a Butler city PD (20 members) Butler Township (12 member) and Butler County Sheriff (unknown #) the video shows 8 people talking to the reporter. Did a 12 or 20 person department field an 8 person tactical team? I’ve seen that tried and I doubt their capabilities and quite frankly other than as gate guards I don’t think I’d want them doing much in the way of protecting.

This whole thing from my experience just stinks of unprofessional behavior by many parties. But I have also seen a loss of institutional knowledge in my former profession that galls me.

Exactly. There woulda been communication ... unless it had been somehow forbidden. Which is insane. If SS had enough people to at least man the perimeter and guard the buildings, as well as the detail on Trump's body and immediate surroundings, that woulda been enough to go with the SS sniper teams. But they didn't, so it makes no sense that they would turn down that basic help or fail to communicate.

This is not a trivial matter. There is now reasonable suspicion that some unknown individuals within the Federal Government may have played a decisive role in orchestrating the assassination attempt on Former President Trump. And no one trusts the FBI to conduct a objective investigation into this potential conspiracy involving government actors. Do we just cross our fingers and hope for the best? Do we just sit on our hands and await the election in the hope that Trump gets elected and acts to remedy this criminal corruption? There has to be a better way to be proactive about getting to the bottom of this before there is another attempt on Trump's life. Why can't former FBI agents form an ad hoc investigative unit and conduct a parallel effort using civil court mechanisms on behalf of the victims of this crime such as the guy that got murdered? Ditto for the Butler County Sheriffs Office?

Trump has already announced another visit to Butler, PA to honor the fallen and wounded. That has put the SS and Mayorkas on notice that nixing the open venue gambit has failed. My prediction is Butler, PA will the safest place to be in PA on that day.
