The mainstream media has been soft-pedaling, almost memory-holing, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump from less than three weeks ago.
It's not that they have been totally ignoring it; rather, they have been spinning it, casting doubt on the fact that Trump was actually shot, and most especially turning a blind eye to the now obvious fact that the FBI and Secret Service are engaged in a coverup of massive proportions.
Nobody called out FBI Director Wray for his perjurious testimony that the FBI wasn't sure that Trump was actually shot. He lied before Congress, and several media outlets ran with the story as if it were true. Wray's own deputy testified before Congress that there was never any doubt about the issue, but the meme was out there, and leftists have pushed it into the public consciousness.
I have written several times about the Secret Service's coverup and my belief that Alejandro Mayorkas is ultimately responsible for setting up a situation in which Trump would inevitably get attacked and perhaps assassinated. He is the Secretary of Homeland Security, expressed full confidence in the Secret Service and Kimberly Cheatle AFTER Trump was shot, and when she resigned he elevated the very man whose job was overseeing the protective details.
Nobody in the mainstream media appears to be unhappy with the coverup, most are ignoring the obvious lies, and they are, it appears to me, trying to memory hole the entire affair.
It's almost like they are disappointed Trump wasn't removed from this Earth.
Now we have this:
BREAKING: Video filmed by a Trump PA rally victim shows a person running on top of the roof where Thomas Crooks shot from just moments before Trump was shot in the face.

Holy sh*t.
The video was obtained by Fox News and filmed by James Copenhaver, who was shot twice.

As you can see in this video, Thomas Matthew Crooks was NOT hidden from view when he was crossing the roof of the building from which he took his fatal shots. In fact, he was videotaped from a grandstand behind Trump, at a much lower height than the perch afforded to the Secret Service.
Minutes before the shooting. You can't tell me that nobody from the Secret Service saw him.
EXCLUSIVE: PITTSBURGH — A video from James Copenhaver, one of the victims critically wounded in the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Trump, shows a figure moving across the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building just minutes before gunfire rang out at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In the video taken at 6:08 p.m. on July 13, the person appears on the roof of the building adjacent to where Trump is speaking and can be seen walking from the 1:00 second mark to about the 2:50 second mark.
Officials believe gunman Thomas Crooks, 20, began shooting with a collapsible AR-15-style rifle three minutes later, around 6:11 p.m. Counter snipers fatally shot Crooks shortly afterward, and law enforcement officials found eight shell casings near his body.
If he could be seen from the grandstand crossing the roof, he certainly would have been visible to the Secret Service snipers whose job it was to defend Trump. How does something like this get missed by people whose sole job is to prevent it?
Think about that. Hard.
If you have an innocent explanation beyond "every single agent in charge of this event had a lobotomy," I would like to hear it.
Seriously. I don't like what I am thinking.
How does any of this add up in a way that makes the Secret Service look innocent? Long ago we had to abandon the idea that simple incompetence was at work, but the evidence for something more sinister keeps piling up.

Sean Davis of The Federalist has been one of the few journalists who has been screaming from the rooftops about how corrupt and even conspiratorial this looks, and I admit that although I love Davis' work, I thought he was too far ahead of the evidence.
But I have to admit, he was right. It's pretty obvious that the level of "incompetence" and "mistakes" necessary for this event to have happened as it did isn't plausible. There had to be a level of intent.
Trump was shot because they let him shoot Trump. https://t.co/j2yjKyszxD

They had to have seen him. The local police were swarming the building, guns drawn, minutes before the shooting. A warning had been radioed into the command post. It was ignored.
And the man in charge of the protective details is now in charge of the investigation, stonewalling Congress, his allies at the FBI are obviously lying to Congress under oath and casting aspersions on Donald Trump. The very same FBI that hid the Hunter Biden laptop, lied to the FISA Court to spy on Trump, used an obviously faked "dossier" to hound Trump, leaked lies to the media, and censored true information online.
Oh, and just paid out millions to agents who we know beyond doubt because we have their text messages conspired to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.

If the highest levels of the Secret Service didn't conspire to allow this to happen, they sure have no interest in assuring us of that fact. Millions of us are now convinced that they did, have plenty of circumstantial evidence showing that they did,
Evidence like the fact that the assassin was visible crossing the roof. And not just from a great height, but from below where the counter snipers were. Rowe claims that Crooks was hidden from view; clearly he wasn't, and we have video evidence to prove that.
If there is an explanation for this, you would hope the Secret Service would provide it instead of stonewalling. But even Members of Congress can't get answers, so it seems clear to me that they want to run out the clock, hoping that a Harris administration will help them cover it up for years to come.
If there is an innocent explanation, FBI and Secret Service, please share it instead of stonewalling. Perhaps there is some hidden reason why the Trump protection detail was starved of resources, why the Secret Service refused to use an offered drone to defend the site, and why the counter-snipers didn't meet with the locals before the event.

Interim Director of the Secret Service Rowe claimed that the failures stemmed from a "lack of imagination," which may have been the most ridiculous assertion made before Congress in my lifetime.
He literally said that the Secret Service couldn't imagine anybody wanted to kill Trump. He said that.
Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe claims that what went wrong on July 13 was a “failure of imagination.”

Oh, I am pretty sure that the Secret Service is fully aware that people "want to do harm" to their protectees. It is their job--literally their job--to prevent this, so no imagination is required to discern the possibility.
"Failure of imagination." Oh, come on. He is laughing at us now.
