Wouldn’t it be incredible if this is what finally took him down? You just know he’s going to make some false statements to law enforcement.
Why would this be any different than the time he colluded with Russia on live TV, had a phone call recorded asking to change election results, intentionally retained national security documents after leaving office, rallying the mob that tried to stop the election results, or any of the other things we already have on record?
Fun tangential fact: Trump’s collusion was found to be legally okay per the Mueller report because they had no evidence they directly coordinated with each other. This is very similar to how SuperPACS cannot directly coordinate with election campaigns but simply engage in obvious call-and-response as Trump did with Russia. Corrupt as fuck.
I thought there was lots of evidence but mueller basically said it wasn’t his place to prosecute and I’m going to leave it up to congress to do their job and prosecute.
They did not do their job.
Different collusion. And they didn’t say it was okay - just that they didn’t have any evidence that Trump himself had been involved.
Then the report went on to say as clearly as the justice department is allowed to say that Trump absolutely engaged in obstruction of justice. They couldn’t indict a sitting President, and you can’t make a public accusation against someone you aren’t going to indict.
Mueller said that if Trump were innocent of obstruction, he’d say he was, but that he would not say that. He laid out specific criteria for what constitutes obstruction, cited many specific occasions in which he met all those criteria, testified before Congress that if he weren’t the sitting President he would have brought charges against him, and said directly that it was Congress’s duty to impeach him.
But somehow the GOP convinced everyone that the Mueller report was an exonneration.
It’s hard to give a blowjob if you’re dead, or not in the same location as the receiver.
True, but considering the numerous other crimes he’s committed haven’t taken him down yet, I’m not so hopeful.
How would that happen? It’s obvious he was shot at. Others in the crowd got killed/injured as a result of the gunfire. This just seems like standard procedure.
How would that [Trump going down for making some false statements to law enforcement] happen?
What follows is wild unfounded speculation that 99.9% didn't happen, but is technically a barely plausible hypothetical answer to your question.
If the ear injury wasn’t caused by a bullet, then the miss wasn’t as near as we thought it was.
If it missed by a lot despite being at [relatively] short range [for the type of gun used], then maybe it was on purpose.
If the shooter missed on purpose, maybe it was because he was hired by Trump for a false-flag operation in order to allow Trump to claim martyrdom, or even a casus belli to purge his enemies.
If this sort of absurd conspiracy were what actually happened, maybe Trump would lie to the FBI to try to cover it up, get caught, and get charged with more crimes.
The FBI agent tasked to transcribe the interview
Is this even news? Seems like a pretty standard thing in an investigation. Of course you interview the victim.
Donald cannot open his mouth without lying so he probably shouldn’t do it towards a federal agent when it would be a crime. Not that he would ever be prosecuted since we have a multi-tiered “justice” system.
I’m guessing no one read the article that says this is completely normal.
