If you thought former U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s “roof was too steep for snipers” excuse was a lame one—and it was—you’ll love Biden administration FBI Director Chris Wray’s excuse for how the would-be assassin got up on the roof “unnoticed” prior to shooting former President Donald Trump in the ear.
It seems the reason was that the AR-15 the would-be assassin used had a dreaded collapsible stock, making it easier to get on the roof with a rifle unnoticed.
“I can tell you, which may be relevant to your questions, that, um, and I don’t think this has been reported yet, that the [Trump assassin’s] weapon had a collapsible stock which could explain, uh, why it might have been less easy for people to observe,” Wray said. “Because one of the things that we’re finding is the first people to observe him with the weapon was when he was already on the roof and we haven’t yet found anyone with any first-hand observation of him with the weapon walking around beforehand. So that doesn’t mean he wasn’t, obviously, but the collapsible stock is potentially a very significant feature that might be relevant to that.”
Hmmm, so a man climbing up on a roof 150 yards from the stage where the former president was set to address the rally crowd wasn’t suspicious since all the people who had reported seeing the guy hadn’t actually seen him with a rifle until he was already on the roof? Right.
