Subject: Re: Why The FBI is Mistrusted
bighairymike: First of all, the FBI should know and not speculate.

How would they know without examining the former president's wound or without the physical evidence? AFAIK, the president has not released medical reports beyond those provided by Admiral-busted-down-to-Captain-for-being-a-drunk Ronny Johnson-Jackson, the pill pusher in the Trump White House who claimed Trump grew an inch in his seventies, weighed 237 lbs, and would live to be 200 if he ate better. Not what's you'd call a reliable source.

bighairymike: Second of all, they hang with a shrapnel possibility (from a bullet fragment, not the shattered teleprompter which of course a shattered teleprompter could easy be checked in two minutes and ruled in or our [sic].

Scripps News provided photographs showing the two teleprompters still intact following the gunfire.

bighairymike: Why is a shrapnel alternative explanation so important, so important to lie about?

What lie? The FBI said they couldn't be certain if the president's wound was caused by a bullet or shrapnel (a piece of shattered bullet) but that it was one or the other. But, sure, it makes a better rally story to say president Bone Spurs "took a bullet" for America rather than was hit by pieces of a shattered bullet.

Personally, I think he was lightly grazed by a bullet, fragmented or otherwise, enough to break the skin and draw a little blood. Lucky guy. And seriously, I'm happy he wasn't seriously wounded or killed.

But doesn't it strike you as at least a little bit strange that there are photographs of his ear less than a week later, unbandaged, and there doesn't appear to be much of anything there, let alone a serious wound?

I guess he heals fast.

With everything we know about Trump, though, if his wound was really serious, really nasty, he'd be on Fox News having the cameras show it in close-up detail every day of the week.

I'm sorry that POS was shot but he's still a POS.

Good news though: after the 2024 election, you'll never have to vote again.
