    Republican nominee Donald Trump claimed without evidence at a Saturday rally that the July 13 assassination attempt on his life resulted from Democratic political messaging.


    The FBI has said the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, appears to have acted alone. Investigators are still searching for a motive but have found no evidence of a clear ideological or political connection.


    But in a speech Saturday in Atlanta, Trump baselessly blamed the shooting on political rhetoric warning that he could undermine American democracy.

    Trump has never accepted the results of the 2020 election or unequivocally disavowed political violence; his attempts to overturn his 2020 electoral defeat inspired his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on. Jan. 6, 2021.


    “Remember the words they use: ‘They are a threat to democracy,’” Trump said at the rally, referencing statements by President Biden and other Democrats.

    “They’ve been saying that about me for seven years. I think I got shot because of that, okay? People said ‘he’s a threat to democracy.’”

    His running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio also falsely conflated the assassination attempt with political opposition to Trump in his own remarks on Saturday.


    “They couldn’t beat him politically, so they tried to bankrupt him,” Vance said in his introduction on Saturday, alluding to the New York attorney general’s lawsuit that resulted in a $354 million fine for business fraud.


    “They failed at that. So they tried to impeach him. They failed at that. So they tried to put him in prison,” Vance went on, referring to four separate criminal indictments from federal and local prosecutors.


    Vance finished: “They even tried to kill him.”


    A Vance spokesman did not immediately respond to requests to clarify whom he meant by “they.”…….

    Grassely released a letter questioning Rowe's testimony



    This is not all of what Secret Service Acting Dir. Rowe lied or provided misstatements about under sworn oath at the Senate hearing - but it is important. (He also lied about not playing a role in denying assets to the Donald Trump detail and to all protectees.)

    I actually see both sides of the argument and think local law enforcement is really getting quite lawyerly in defining their line of sight from inside the AGR building as overly narrow. See my story from last week on the topic -- URL link is below.

    Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a longtime champion of whistleblowers, is calling on Rowe to provide further explanation regarding his line-of-sight assertions, which local law enforcement officers have since challenged.

    “As part of my ongoing investigation into the attempted assassination, my investigative staff communicated with local law enforcement, to include counter snipers who were on site that day,” Grassley wrote. “Local law enforcement dispute the angle of the picture that you provided during your testimony, stating that the picture you provided neither accurately depicts their line of sight and coverage area from their position in the building nor their physical placement within the building.

    “As of August 9, 2024, Beaver County ESU have told my staff that Secret Service had not met with them to debrief the events of July 13,” Grassley continued. “This type of meeting should be standard, even more so before you are sworn in and provide testimony to Congress. Unfortunately, this further points to the communications issues that are in part to blame for that day, that seemingly continue to plague the Secret Service.”

    I wrote this story a week ago going into the details about what the Secret Servicce and local law enforcement are claiming about their sight lines: --

    A Tale of Two Diagrams:


    👉👉Additional Grassley oversight: Grassley wrote Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas following new reports that DHS granted parole status to a foreign national, Asif Raza Merchant, despite being flagged as a “person of interest” upon entry.

    Once in the U.S., Merchant began hatching a plan to assassinate former President Trump. Grassley is posing a series of questions to Mayorkas in order to “better understand the federal government’s decision-making process in this matter.”

    Here's Grassley's letter to Rowe (minus the last page, which I'll attach).

    Not possible to care less. Grassley should be in a retirement home somewhere. Beyond that? Like I said, it is impossible for me to care less. You can waste all the bandwidth you want on your false god. I will ignore the whole investigation since, imo, the likely goal is to jam more heretical Trump worshippers into the Secret Service.

    Of course, had that happened to Biden or Obama the only thing we would have seen out of your keyboard would have been…nothing.
