"We can't comment on an ongoing investigation."

Yesterday Josh Hawley (?) tried to visit the site but got shooed away by the FBI. WTF are they still doing down there? It's been a week, certainly there's no more physical evidence to collect from the scene?

But within a few hours they had hosed off the roof where the sniper was shot.

No different from bulldozing the Branch Davidian compound within a day or two after the FBI killed dozens of people there.

And don’t forget Ashli Babbitt was cremated two days after she was killed without her husband’s permission. Getting rid of evidence of their crimes is always their top priority.

I have read that. My mind almost won't let me believe it. I would think it would be lawsuit city with a case the government could not possibly win. Tin-hat me spent some time trying to track down whether it was true or not, but I never could find a straight answer.

Since you reminded me, I just now did an AI search, and found the article linked below. To me, it implies the story is not true, but also admits it can't be sure b/c the family does not want to talk about it.

Seva, if you read it differently, please let me know. Thanks

Seems that wasn’t true but I do believe this RCI article about how the Capitol cop who shot Ashli refused to answer any questions about what happened so the democrats decided to just clear him anyway. She was shot and killed by a Capital cop as she attempted to climb through a door window broken out by (FBI?) rioters while 3 Capitol cops stood there and watched and made no attempt to stop Ashli from climbing through the broken out window. They then praised him as a hero and promoted him to Captain.

As Kari Lake said of the democrats, they’re “evil bastards.” There is no doubt in my mind that they want to be powerful enough to do to any one of us or anyone who opposses them what they did to poor Ashli who definitely did not deserve to die that day.

“In fact, investigators cleared Byrd of wrongdoing in the shooting without actually interviewing him about the shooting or threatening him with punishment if he did not cooperate with their criminal investigation.”

“Cop Who Killed Ashli Babbitt Was Cleared of Criminal Wrongdoing Without Interview.”

How many spent shell casings were found on the roof with the dead patsy? Simple answer solves the question of how many shooters.

Expand full comment

As more and more information comes out on a daily basis we are left with no ability to discern between true facts and speculative theories. It is being said that audio forensics indicate 3 shooters? One analyst suggests we ask that our Congressional rep demand all pre- event surveillance ( perimeter), (air), and any other pre- event surveillance done be made available immediately to the public; it is no longer classified. Has positive id been made of the woman filming, wearing the black hat? Dig down on her. Have ALL those ‘ protecting’ Pres. Trump been identified, properly interviewed? Much expressed that more danger lies ahead. Disclosure and truth- telling is imperative.

You and I - We The People - will NEVER know the answer to that question, ESPECIALLY if we have to depend on the Republicans to get to the bottom of this.

I'm as sick of the Republicans as I am of the Democrats. As Killary herself said, "At this point, what difference does it make?!" They're all the same pond scum.

In response to your question ... Well, apparently the FBI has agents (or employees?) who go in and scrub the crime scene in short order. And they are not afraid of a a sloped roof, either. Yes, I saw a pic of FBI personnel on the roof with a hose, apparently just a couple days later. SMDH.

Memo to Dr. falsi: since you have stated that “ I am science”, why don’t you conduct an experiment where you are shot through the upper portion of your ear( blowing it literally off) under the exact, precise circumstances with same ammo, in scientific lingo, a replicatiive expediment, and then decide if yours was a “ superficial wound”. We would view you as credible since you are an expert. Let us know your final opinion.

A caller on Matt boyle / breitbart / patriot radio show this morning raised another great question.

How does secret service sniper respond in mere seconds to kill assassin w a headshot bullet If he didn't already have assasin in his sights??

Why was secret service being told NOT to shoot ?

Why was sniper told NOT to shoot a would be assasin w gun on shoulder??

Thanks, Julie, for this summation of the Monday appearance by Kim Cheatle before the attack Yorkies in the House of Representatives. As I wrote earlier, this comedy-of-errors wasn't an "accident" or an "oversight: because too much recent evidence points directly to the unmistakable fact that the attempted assassination of former (and future) President Trump was planned and damned-near executed perfectly according to plan. However, I'm positive that this Affirmative Action/DEI hire will refuse to answer any question by hiding behind the tried-and-true response..."this is an ongoing investigation and I'm unable to answer any of these questions." So, regardless of hos much the attack Yorkies yip, she'll be able to skate and, of course, M. Hussein Osama won't allow this remarkably incompetent critter to be fired. After all, haven't the previous three-and-a-half years demonstrated vividly that nobody in the upper reaches of the federal government who fails dramatically is ever held accountable? In other words, don't bet the farm on any substantive results of Cheatle's Monday appearance.

It has to be approached differently because as the saying goes, do it the way you’ve always done it and get the same results.

First of all, thanks for the referral comp that allows me to comment!

#1 is the most important question of all and nobody has even APPROACHED it, much less answer it. How is that possible? How has nobody been fired?

Interesting note: In May, Bloomberg news ran an article about a letter circulating in the SS warning that the current director was going to get people killed because she was focused on DEI BS.

There will be no restoration of trust, none, zero, SQUAT until we have full disclosure and JUSTICE.

And, NO, we are not waiting 70+ years like the JFK assassination.

Those are good questions, Julie.

I have a few of my own.

a. What is the basis for her goal of 30% female recruits by 2030? Are women currently discriminated against, or have they been in the past? How will that goal tangibly enhance the service's effectiveness?

b. Are the requirements for physical fitness and other physical attributes the same for men and women? If not, why not? Are the physical requirements job related? If so, why are they lessened for one of the sexes.

c. Were any agents on Trumps security detail removed and assigned to the the First Lady's or VP's public appearances in Pennsylvania on the same day?

d. There have been statements that the Secret Service divided the responsibilities for security, with SS being responsible for security inside the secure zone, and local law enforcement responsible for security outside the secure zone. Is that correct? Is it her view, that relieves the SS of responsibility for security outside of the secure zone?

Seldom is anything useful learned in these kinds of hearings. Members of both parties use them for preening and grand-standing. Cheatle will use the "ongoing investigation" excuse or maybe the "sources and methods" excuse to evade a lot of questions. Nothing good will come out of it.

But it will make some us feel better to see her fussed at.

I'm absolutely positive that there are jobs in the secret service that can be handled wonderfully by females. Physically guarding a giant dude is not one of them.

Expand full comment

You and I are 100% aligned, Commander.

My opinion- people should not be prevented from doing a job for which they have a) an interest, and especially, a passion, and b) the ability. Women and men are different not just physically, but we're wired differently. No female has ever been in the top 10 chess grandmasters. OTOH, Marie Curie was unquestionably a giant in the history of physics.

Some people seem to think, if a group represents x% of the population but y% of the people in a profession or some similar group, something bad is happening, and must be corrected. Thomas Sowell does an awesome job of briefly commenting on it in this YouTube short (under a minute):

This entire premise is crazy -- people have preferences. Yet this thinking was the entire basis of upending FAA rules for air traffic controllers to ensure we got the 'proper' distribution of ATCs....including blind ones.

Regarding the fourth issue: To have two distinct entities in charge of different aspects of a scene is both counter-productive and nonsensical. This would cause systemic failure, because if something wrong were to happen, then there would just be blame being passed from one group toward the other. Then, the problem will never get solved; it will just be shoved into the memory hole and forgotten within the different entities.

The different actors have to be engaged in the operation well in advance, basically from the day that the approval for the event is made. The USSS has to be in charge, since it is their responsibility for the protectee (yes, it's their actual word). They have to integrate the local officers into their circle of coverage, and decide who is to cover what. But the result has to be that the top of the chain of command for the event is the USSS; it can't work any other way. They have developed plans for how to handle many different scenarios, and they collectively have many years of practice. Meanwhile, local police departments and sheriff's offices don't often have federal protectees within their jurisdiction; they typically don't have as much experience planning for those situations.

Wikipedia: "An enemy of the state is a person suspected of political crimes against the state, such as treason. In designating certain persons and organizations as enemies of the state, the government can realize the political repression of political opponents, such as dissidents; thus a government can justify political repression as protecting the national security of the country and the nation."

Look up "political repression!" Wikipedia is a leftie site. Isn't obvious that the Deep state and the demcoms see Trump and all of us patriots as enemies, justifying up to and including death!

The answers, in my opinion. It was an inside job FBI planned. How? There are many more experienced people answering that question.

Why? Because lawfare has failed, and they believe the President is winning and will come after them.

If the President had been killed what would have been the outcome?

1. True Republicans rarely revolt. It's more likely that people with lower IQs and not having a business to run or a family to look after would be targeted by feds.

2. If riots took place the power of biden's agencies would be unleashed and the election disrupted.

3. The uni party would offer some fake words about democracy and consolation to the family. Then they would set about nominating nikki haley to run against biden.

4. That female head of the SS would announce her regret and leave the position only this time with a fat pay off.

5. The investigation will be rigorously persude by the FBI 😂

6. America will return to normal and the truth hidden for 70 years.

IT JUST WENT WRONG THATS ALL

I have the answers to the questions.

1. It was really hot that day and we figured the sooner we got the event started, the sooner we could all go home.

2. Since Crooks' drone was already occupying the air space it was determined that aerial reconnaissance was unsafe. Operating aerial assets in airspace with a drone present is almost as dangerous as positioning agents on a sloped roof.

3. We had access to a truck and were prepared to position it between the building and the stage. Unfortunately, the guy who had the keys was on a break and our rules prohibit us from disturbing agents on break.

I have an obvious question I have not heard people ask....why did the secret service agents allow Trump to stand? He was visibly NOT fully protected in those moments. We all heard them say the shooter was down. Just because one threat is down, does not mean there are not other threats still present. It would seem impossible to me that at the time, just moments after shots were fired that the agents would know in certainty there was no longer a threat to former President Trump.

I was absolutely stunned and in awe of Donald J Trump's reaction to being shot....but at the same time, as a retired police officer, all I kept thinking was why are the secret service agents allowing him to stand out there like that? He should have immediately been removed from the platform, as in carried, without any exposure to his body. Of course, we would not have had an iconic photo for the ages and people would not have been able to see what a total badass Donald Trump truly is. Still, I was astonished at how the secret service agents removed him from that stage, made me so nervous watching it. I know President Trump has sung their praises and I realize bullets were flying over their heads too. Even so, I was not impressed with how they took him off the stage.

I want to know where the 3rd weapon was located, the one that the CNN reported on before that deep-sided the story:

"According to Catalin Grigoras and Cole Whitecotton from the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, "the first three shots were consistent with alleged weapon A, the next five were consistent with alleged weapon B, and the final 'acoustic impulse' was emitted by a possible weapon C," the media outlet notes.

Forensics expert Robert Maher, in turn, suggested that "the gunman was about 360 to 393 feet from the podium."

Next I am curious out of the first 3 shots, which one struck President Trump.

Next, I want to know how it was that Crooks was able to carry a large aluminum ladder to the building and leave it there with no-one being concerned about it.

Last, according the reports, there was a remote controlled detonation device next to Crooks phone that authorities said was beyond his ability to create. Where did it come from.

Did it really take 5 shots to down Crooks?

The very people who are responsible for explaining what appears to be a catastrophic security failure are the same people who still cannot explain who is responsible for leaving cocaine in the WH and lied to us regarding the attack on the embassy in Libya. They still can't explain who Ray Epps was and why he was not indicted and who placed the pipe bombs on Congressional grounds on January 6.

If President Trump had been the second fatal victim what would they say? They would say anything and no matter how preposterous the explanation nothing would be done but their objective - a - dead Presidential Republican candidate would have been achieved.
