Josh Dawsey: So here's what law enforcement says happened...



Josh Dawsey
So here's what law enforcement says happened: Trump is golfing around 1:30 on Sunday. Agent going one hole ahead of him finds a man with rifle in the bush/tree line. Agent fires at him. Trump is evacuated. Man flees & is later captured. Leaves gun, backpacks, camera on scene.


This account says the only bullets fired came from the Secret Service...

Do secret service agents have a lower legal standard of 'excessive force' than other law enforcement or security agencies?

A witness saw him run out of the bushes. Took photos of him and the license plate of the car he got into.

Police picked him up on the highway pretty quickly.

who he is and what was his agenda?

Magats online are "blaming Dems for calling him Hitler for 8 years".. which is bullshit because it's TSF who calls for Political Violence.

so my first reaction was to suspect a plant to get attention.

Or - Maybe Vance and his backers are eager to put Vance at the top of the ticket.

Or, Putin likes Vance better than Agent Orange.

White guy about 30 or 40 years. It will be interesting to see his motive.

That the guy fired multiple shots at Trump, which they dutifully reported without verifying, were BS.

course? I read earlier today that there were shots fired outside the golf course, but that was reported to be armed people shooting at each other, not the traitor.

Another former supporter became unraveled and tried to make history.

He attracts this type as supporters. If he pisses them off, then he has unstable fuckwits ready to put him in crosshairs.

Lucky not to have "suicide-by-cop"red himself by the Secret Service like his brother Crooks did in Butler.
