Republicans in Congress, including Speaker Mike Johnson and limited government constitutional conservative all-star Senator Ron Johnson, have both put in motion plans to
investigate the Democrat investigators who are currently allegedly investigating the shooting of former President Donald Trump.
You can read the outlines of the hearings planned and the questions they have put to the Democrats in charge of Donald Trump’s security – and the investigation into his shooting – in this CHQ article.
The obvious problem with the idea of having the Democrats at the US Secret Service, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security investigate themselves is that their leaders are all notorious liars, and that Democrats never take responsibility for failures on their watch.
Don’t believe us?
Check to see if anyone took responsibility and resigned or was fired for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that got 13 brave Americans and countless of our Afghan allies killed. You won’t find it because all the Democrats in charge and responsible protected each other.
Meanwhile, some further information about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the assassin who shot former President Trump, has come to light, and it doesn’t look good for the Democrats now investigating themselves for allowing Trump to be shot.
The latest, and perhaps most astonishing revelation yet – next to the fact that the roof on which Crooks positioned himself to shoot President Trump was left unguarded – is that the Secret Service has now revealed he secreted the rifle he used to shoot Trump somewhere inside the outer security perimeter of the event site.
According to a Secret Service source reported by the New York Post, the would-be assassin hid the rifle in advance.
It was not immediately clear where he hid it, however.
Once again, this revelation boggles the mind and goes against my 30+ years of producing major political and presidential campaign events. I’ve witnessed the Secret Service and other supporting agencies run bomb-sniffing dogs through huge event venues, go through every closet and cupboard, lockdown multiple floors in hotels and post every entrance and exit into big arenas, all so no one could hide a gun or a bomb in advance of the arrival of the President or Vice President.
But a 20-year-old kid with no military or intelligence training was able to hide a gun right under their noses – a rifle no less – and access the only unguarded overwatch position with a clear line of fire to shoot Donald Trump?
A former top FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity told the New York Post, “This was not a ninja, this was a 20-year-old kid dragging a rifle, a rangefinder and a ladder,” former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker observed.
“He was a rank amateur, and he just climbed up that wall like Forrest Gump. Everything just aligned for him — but you have to ask yourself why? Nothing about it makes any sense.”
Oh, and he did all this “acting alone” and without any inside information according to the Democrats investigating what they call “the incident” and we call the shooting of Donald Trump.
It also turns out that contrary to initial reports that Crooks was “the only 20-year-old in America without a social media trail” he did in fact leave one.
Investigators, according to multiple law enforcement sources, found a post on the gaming platform Steam that is credited to the suspected gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. The post included the ominous warning, "July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds."
Steam hosts the popular military and warrior games Call of Duty: Black Ops, Enshrouded, V Rising, DayZ, and Elden Ring, among many others.
But don’t buy the idea, we predict that will soon be floated, that young Crooks learned the techniques that allowed him to shoot President Trump from a video game.
In an interview with the New York Post Matthew Murphy, a retired Green Beret and a sniper trained to the most elite level, also dismissed the suggestion that “some 20-year-old kid that looks like he played Dungeons and Dragons in his mom’s basement” was able to put Trump in his sights.
“You’re gonna tell me that that kid went through all those levels of security, somehow got
into the closest building to the president and accessed the rooftop, then had the time to unpack his rifle, lay down and then take five to eight well-aimed shots at the president before he was decisively engaged?” he asked.
“There’s absolutely no way possible that kid was able to get up there and take those shots at the president without a lot of internal help,” he said.
And now the same agencies who somehow let Thomas Matthew Crooks through all those supposedly impenetrable levels of security are investigating themselves.
The Capitol Switchboard is (202-224-3121), call your Senators and Representative TODAY to demand that no cover-up of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump be allowed and that they force the immediate public testimony of Kimberly Cheatle, Director of the Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The punk is the patsy. There's a pic online of a person, identified by "FBI" on his shirt, hosing down the roof. Whose DNA was he washing away, I wonder... They say there was another shooter on the grassy knoll, and the Warren Commission squelched evidence of that CIA op. Was J13 another deep state op like the J6 fed-surrection? Time for a special J13 Commission, and one that won't take "I cannot discuss an ongoing investigation" for an answer.
