The FBI says that the attempt to shoot Donald Trump is being investigated as a potential act of domestic terrorism, adding that the shooter acted alone and had no known ideology.
“We are investigating this as an assassination attempt, but also looking at it as a potential domestic terrorism act,” Robert Wells, assistant director of the FBI counterterrorism division, tells reporters.
The gun used in the attempted assassination was an “AR-style 556 rifle” that was purchased legally, FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek tells reporters.

Getting ready to blame this on "right wing domestic terrorists", you watch. I don't trust the FBI in the slightest.

OK. This maybe classic conspiracy theory. But bear with me. The plan is that the assassin climbs on to a roof 135 yds away. Takes aim at Trump. The counter sniper team watches him guns ready. He lets his volley loose. A bullet pierces Trump's head . He crumples to the ground. Dead or mortally wounded. As soon as the volley leaves his gun our fearless defenders deliver a lethal shot. Trump dead. Evidence destroyed. Mission accomplished. Sniper teams are heroes. One loose end. How about a 20 year old from the neighborhood with no priors, no ideology, seemingly no connections. Why did he do it? Bring the FBI. Same people who investigated Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and all the others. One small problem. The gunman missed! Sounds plausible? Nah!

How do they know he acted alone, or had no ideology? They haven't done squat, except as capture all the evidence to keep hidden from the public. I don't call 4 people shot, 1 killed, as "potential terrorism". I hope Trump will fire the FBI, and stop the new HQ's.

Okay I already know they are lying. They know his background and why he did it.
They know.
But to admit it would put their Democrats further in the hole.

FBI, Yahoo News and others say the shooter was a registered Republican. Make sure you use that.

The deep state has now bloodied Trump,
so they can "liquidate" their Biden problem
and blame it on you...

You can use ballistics to determine where the shot came from. In this case, it's clear the shot came from the _Lone Gunman_.
My theory is the shooter was an FBI /SS patsy who they told would be famous forever for killing the President and they set it up so he could have access to the roof. What they didn't tell him they would take him out after he shot the President. (He looks a lot like Toad from American Graffiti).
Why would the DemoniKKKRat party want to take out President Trump? Well, besides not losing to him, they could maybe provoke a Civil War so they could institute martial law and suspend the elections. That way FJBrandon's puppeteers could be virtual dictators.

Indeed, #3 - "domestic terrorism" is brought in to play when they want to go after white guys. In this case it could be his chess club or gaming buddies.

Investigate? Sure. Like they investigated the Mandalay Bay massacre and the Nashville school shooting.

Get some real investigators on the case. Send these clowns back to school board meetings and abortion mills where they can harass innocent women. This is out of their league.

Ordered by the MSM and the Democrats. After all when you say 45 is Hitler and he threatens democracy, what do you expect? It's not rocket science.

A friend told me today, the first words out of her mouth, the shooter was a Republican. I changed the subject. She and her husband have TDS.

A lot of truly ignorant media types, and the democrat politicians whom they command, are completely unaware that the "556" is not a rifle type but refers to the land diameter of the round it fires, 5.56mm.

Who's going to investigate the FBI? The last useful thing they did was kill John Dillinger. I haven't trusted the FBI since I found out that J. Edgar Hoover used to dress up like Tallulah Bankhead.

Meanwhile, in Congress, they are debating the "EAGLES Act" to turn responsibility for school security across the nation over to the Secret Service.
Yeah, Great, since they don't even have enough good people to properly protect Trump or Robert Kennedy Jr.

Calling it domestic terrorism paves the way to exonerate anyone in the Biden administration from blame.
The final report from the FBI will be that a mixed up kid got caught up in TDS, and that Trump is to blame.
Also, the local cops will be thrown under the bus to that the AA hire Kimberly can keep her job.

FBI absurdly, ridiculously fiddles with what to call it. It was an ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.
