Oh, I believe the CIA could be involved but they wouldnt choose a dipshit like Crooks.

Some are overthinking this.


Why? Because he had pimples? He looks like a prime candidate to me.

He would have made the shot if not for Trump turning and moving at the last second. It wasn't his lack of ability to take that shot that caused the failure.

I don't know if that is what happened obviously, but no way in hell would I dismiss the possibility. Especially combined with the multiple breakdowns in security that also had to happen at the same time.

He was trying to run interference for Rs. Trying to avoid Dems forcing them to vote on the record, which is the point, and exactly what Dems should and will do.

But that doesn't stop the mouth breathers all over this board from saying, "SeE, DeMS BloCKeD thE VOte!"

It was leaked early on that Crooks had called a cell phone located in the China Town area of DC near Capital One Arena dozens of times in the period leading up to the attack.

Further analysis found that the location of the phone corresponded to a known intel related field office in that neighborhood.

Was that false? Entirely possible.

Do I believe any of them after Epstein and all of the evidence that was seized with him apparently disappeared and no further arrests were made? Absolutely not.

I’m not alleging Bongino or Patel are lying, I’m stating flat out that evidence seems to be misplaced anytime something starts pointing back towards the vicinity of Langley, VA.

Is he the same guy who said Iran had a drone mothership parked off our east coast?

It is hard to keep the whackadoos straight sometimes.

No...that was Jeff Van Drew (NJ) but Burchett constantly misrepresents facts regarding UAP/UFO activity.

Isn't Burchett the goober who thought the drones were from an Iranian ship off the east coast last spring?

I see above that he wasnt. He's a UAP goober.

He was expendable and on a suicide mission. They wouldn't have used somebody well-trained and traceable back to the government. They used an odd loner type kid that fits a specific profile, so people would be led to say exactly what you said. And if not for a last-second turn of the head, Crooks would have succeeded.

There are too many holes in the official narrative. I don't know who he is connected to, but he was not just a random kid who luckily managed to get into a president's rally with a rifle.

The investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees, revealed Crooks had limited online and in person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.


Is this is true, what is the rationale for keeping any of it under wrap still?

He wasn't a bad shot at all. Bad at predicting the future and how Trump would turn as he takes the shot - yes.

The Contagion Effect.

We learned the lesson of the power of this with that psychopath who killed the little kids in church in Minnesota a few months ago.

How is that any way contingent on keeping the general public ignorant and in the dark on the backgrounds of these people?

Except this guy is the exact kind of patsy the CIA would setup. Plausible deniability does in fact cost resources, and the CIA has so many, I doubt Crooks would've put a dent into their budget.

Sure he was. People think trump turning his head caused the miss. Not true, the shot was off regardless.

Does Burchett have any actual evidence? That would be a nice addition to the conversation.

When actual evidence comes out, it can be discussed. Right now, there is no evidence, just a few attention whores spreading conspiracies.

Probably to keep people from understanding that a motivated, only-halfway-skillful person can be a serious threat to kill someone. Even if that someone is important. We’ve had the CEO of UHC and one of the leading political commentators killed in the past 12 months and two relatively close calls with the President.
