NEWS — Senate briefing on Trump rally shooting just concluded. Top lines, per 2 senators on the call:

—The shooter visited the rally site a few days in advance to scope it out
—62 mins elapsed between the time the shooter was photographed as being suspicious and when he fired the shots
—20 mins elapsed between the time he was spotted by snipers & when he fired the shots
—FBI Director Wray said there’s no known foreign nexus but no established motive as of now. Shooter used encrypted comms and had little to no social media presence

Sen. Dan Sullivan was the one who asked the question about a foreign nexus, citing recent reporting about an Iranian assassination plot against Trump.

I’m told only four questions were allowed on the call, and that USSS Director Cheatle barely spoke.

Hmmmmm....

Twenty(+) years of war in Afghanistan (and less in Iraq) and I don't remember seeing a single (non-tracer round) in flight.

Modern cameras can absolutely catch a bullet in flight, or at least its vapor trail.

I addressed both of these in the picture post, copied and pasted:


It wasn't a vapor trail. To get a vapor trail off a bullet you need atmospheric conditions at or very near to what would naturally cause fog. You also need a very fast bullet. The only cartridge I ever shot and perceived a vapor trail was .257 Weatherby Mag and they probably chronoed 3800+.

What you are seeing is called bullet trace. It is the change in refraction of light cause by the pressurized air as it is pushed aside by the bullet. You can not perceive it with your eyes with a bullet moving left to right but you can from directly behind it. It hangs in the air long enough to be caught by a camera going left to right. I have watched it hundreds of times from the bench shooting F-class or standing directly behind someone on the line. You can follow the travel of the bullet to the target or more usefully to "not the target" when you miss paper and there isn't a dust kick.


To this thread:

White Roach while I don't remember ever seeing a bullet trace from a 5.56 they are there, it is just physics. They literally have to be there. It is just a matter of having the right light and background to see them. It also helps that you aren't distracted after firing like scanning for the next popup on the range or the next target in the field. You are afforded the luxury when punching holes in paper at 600-1000 yards.

I’ve yet to see proof that Trump was shot in the ear

What proof are you waiting to see?

I’ve ruled out setup

So glad your thorough Investigation was able to provide some closure.

Can you explain the dead and injured innocent people? Or are you still waiting for “proof” on that too?

I’ve been here for years and you just wrote the single dumbest thing I’ve seen on here. Are you choosing to put more credence to your brainwashing over your own eyes?

There is a picture taken from feet away of chunks taken out the front and back of his upper ear. People behind him died.

Please tell me this was a joke and you were kidding.

Agreed. I’ve yet to see proof that Trump was shot in the ear. I’m not convinced that Trump was even shot at. If this was a setup they sure would not have placed that snowflake on the roof. IMO it had to be either a setup or staged and I’ve ruled out setup.

Do you realize how perilously similar you sound to Sandy Hook deniers when typing this?

Id like to see that. Could you provide it for me?

Now I'm entertained.

Could you expound on the statement you posted below. Please give us a lot of detail.
