FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.
But making this distinction doesn’t guarantee clicks, so let’s keep the headline from being too clear about it.
I think the FBI is saying they know where each round ends up and it’s not in a trajectory that could have injured Trump. But they can’t just say that to the Republican Congressman asking the question.
It’s a distinction without a difference. “Trump wasn’t injured by a bullet, he was injured by shrapnel from the bullet” doesn’t let the FBI or the SS off the hook for missing this kid before he started shooting.
The Nazis committed the Holocaust. They killed 11 million people. Did you forget that part, or do you honestly think illegal searches are on the same level?
Over 940,000 people have died in the post-9/11 wars due to direct war violence.
An estimated 3.6-3.8 million people have died indirectly in post-9/11 war zones, bringing the total death toll to at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting.
Over 432,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting.
38 million — the number of war refugees and displaced persons.
The U.S. federal price tag for the post-9/11 wars is over $8 trillion.
The U.S. government is conducting counterterror activities in 78 countries.
At least four times as many active duty personnel and war veterans of post-9/11 conflicts have died of suicide than in combat.
The wars have been accompanied by violations of human rights and civil liberties, in the U.S. and abroad.
Germany actually took responsibility for what they did. The US is still pretending it does nothing but good. Several decades after WWII, the US still had official segregation.
But you just won’t be able to admit a single flaw in the US or that it’s in an way comparable and/or worse than Nazi Germany was.
Yeah it’s a stupidly thin hair to split, to the point where it’s irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if the bullet hit him or the shrapnel caused by the bullet hit him. The fact is there was a guy with a rifle within pissing distance. The government really fucked up.
Not that I’m either surprised nor disappointed by that fact. I personally suspect that the secret service treats the Trump detail as the dump assignment for all of the shittiest, bottom 1% of their security personnel.

FYI, we try and say the “USSS” when possible. Mostly due to the uh…well…you know…whole “Nazi” thing.
Nah, implying the US is a nazi regime is good.
Thats really white washing the Nazis. I get you hate America, but the Nazis were an evil in their own league
Criticising something doesn’t mean you hate it.
The Nazis copied a lot shit directly from America. Hitler admired the US and their racial segregation policies.
Don’t you think it kinda ironic the US was fighting against Nazis with segregated troops?
The amount of illegal searches, cops planting evidence, killing black people with the flimsiest of excuses?
Not to mention actual literal nazis marching in the street because “It’d be against the freedom of expression to prohibit nazis”
You’re whitewashing 'Murica.

Compared to Americas victim count?

Thats called a war. War is ugly, but its not comparable to the Holocaust
Goddamit. Always this same shit

Idk a lot of law enforcement is pro trump, they might have wanted the detail.
Yeah, and the ones that did are probably the bottom of the barrel.
