The Reality of the Bipartisan Task Force Investigation into Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump
The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump Final Report. Sounds impressive. A Task Force. Like Storming a beachhead or cracking down on organized crime. Unfortunately, in the case of this Congressional committee, the American People did not get its money’s worth.
In fact, after months of “investigating” the result of those efforts consists of what the People already knew…the Secret Service did an extremely lousy job of protecting the then former President.
Do the People know why the alleged shooter attacked the then former President? No. Do the People know what physical evidence was collected to determine who was the alleged shooter? You know like DNA, fingerprints, photographs? Nope.
Did the Congressional Task Force interview the parents of the alleged shooter to determine what the family may have known about the shooting event, or did it bother to have a conversation with the alleged shooter’s employer?
You know an employer who had a recent photo of the alleged shooter and not some insulting High School photo. No. Neither of those interviews happened.
But the Task Force did provide the American People one hell of a photo op when its members took a day trip to Butler Pennsylvania to get a firsthand look at the rally venue and stand on the roof of the AGR building. How impressive. But was it worth the expense when the Task Force only came away with the Secret Service didn’t do its job?
AbleChild has been following the investigations associated with the attempted assassination in Butler, PA, and held some hope that that Task Force might provide some much-needed answers. Unfortunately, the Task Force Final Report leaves much to be desired so AbleChild must continue to ask the obvious questions.
For example, on Page 24 of the Final Report it is acknowledged that “at approximately 1:30p.m. Crooks’ father gave him the rifle that would later be used in the assassination attempt. The firearm was legally transferred to Crooks by his father the year prior.
Crooks told his father that he was going to the local gun range…” It seems obvious to ask if the father legally transferred the weapon to his son the prior year, why would the father have to give him the weapon?
Seriously, why would the son have to ask for the gun if he owned it for a year and, according to Senator Grassley’s report, the alleged shooter used it all the time at the local gun range?
