    It was a local law enforcement sniper that was supposed to be on that roof, abandoned their position, then stayed inside? So that explains why the SS snipers did not immediately shoot Crooks… a guy on the roof with a gun was expected… kind of what I’ve been thinking.

    that would explain hesitancy to take him out. Might have needed to confirm it wasn’t a local deputy.

    Wray said today in his testimony that there is “some question” whether trump was struck by a bullet or shrapnel.

    This only means one thing. The Dems have not seen the bullet wound. Trump has not shown them the wound.

    Wray is a useless azz... nothing broke, especially not the teleprompter like someone originally said.

    Don't think it changes much. trump was shot at. But maybe hit by something other than a bullet. Wray is head of the FBI who is leading the investigation and was under oath (I think) . Why would he lie about something so minor. He said there is some question - so he didn't really know - just passing along a factoid. And I have seen some photos recently where there doesn't seem to be a terrible injury to his ear.

    I've been waiting for this bull shit. The kind of statement the press can throw around that is difficult to prove wrong. All logic shows it is wrong just no way to prove it. Like if it is shrapnel what did the bullet hit? Why was nobody else hit by shrapnel?

    Forensic investigations are actually really good at figuring such things out. Is he more of a hero if a bullet hit his ear than if it was a fragment of something the bullet hit?

    Wray is nothing more than a compromised man. His definition in one of these hearings on ANTIFA was that they were "an idea." What an azz...

    I remember when people were outraged when I suggested this was a possibility earlier in the thread. Either way, the guy shot at him, he suffered a minor injury, and somebody else lost their life. So not sure it matters all that much.
    Donald Trump may not have been hit by bullet, FBI director says

    It's not a lie. I think he's introducing an ambiguity without explaining the reason why or what that might potentially look like. He had a reason for introducing that term. Just comes off as odd.

    Go GATORS!

    Spark Notes:

    The owner of Gab has identified the social media posts under an account on Gab as potentially being the assassin’s social media account on X based on law enforcement’s legal requests for the information under that account.

    If a Democrat was hiding their medical records and wouldn’t let his injury be examined you’d be all in the conspiracy world looking for an answer. Are you losing your skepticism?

    Not sure if this is legit or not, but stuff like this will be the real meat and potatoes behind the motive. We are now going on 2 weeks since the shooting and the FBI hasn't hinted at a motive yet. How do they not have a pretty good idea by now? Information is discovered with such speed these days. They should have had a motive pinned within 2 or 3 days of accessing his electronics.

    LMAO I actually tried to listen to that garbage. I started listening to to it and realized everything out of the mouth of Lawrence's mouth is lies and garbage....I never listened to him before and it took me less that 2 minutes to figure it out....then I looked at the screen and saw MSNBC LOL I can't believe I even clicked on the video.
