FBI to Investigate Trump Related to Assassination Attempt

Rexedgar said:
Then you know, based on the photo I linked, that if the angle of the photographer was raised, the path of the bullet would be lowered, as I pointed out. In relation to the head of the victim.

We shall see once the investigation is complete.

He shouldn't talk to the FBI. His lawyers should. The FBI wants to put him in jail and have wanted to do so since the summer of 2016.

Agreed.
An unguarded and unrepresented 'conversation' with the FBI is how the FBI screwed Flynn.

why? Trump was a victim / witness.

Since they have not thrown Trump in jail yet I highly doubt they would base on interviewing him regarding the assassination attempt.

You come across as Trump has something to hide. 😆

They may not have a choice if Harris doesn't crush him in the polls. It's all about saving democracy, y'know.

Perfect example of how the party of supposed self responsibility and law and order has become exactly the opposite.
To modern day MAGA- it wasn't Flynn's lying to the FBI that got him in trouble. It was having a conversation with them absent counsel.
Apparently, the idea of simply telling the truth in order to avoid trouble is not a consideration.
 
Looks like the FBI confirms bullet hit his ear.

Director Wray was showing his "true colors" when he made that lame statement during testimony before the Congressional Committee.

IMO he knows if Trump gets elected, he will be losing his job as soon as possible thereafter. If so, good riddance.

You are offering that the Director of the FBI recently lied, under oath, to some elected officials? Just checking. Don't want to err in what I "think" I am reading.

Don't make any assumptions or presumptions. Mr. Wray made an unfounded "suggestion" casting doubt on the cause of Trump's wound.

FBI Director Says There's 'Some Question' Over What Struck Trump's Ear

Christopher Wray suggested that investigators aren't sure "whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel" that hit Donald Trump in his recent assassination attempt.

Trump Hit By Bullet—Not Shrapnel—Former Doctor Says

Speculation has gained traction in recent days that former President Donald Trump may not have been hit by a bullet, but by shrapnel, during an assassination attempt earlier this month.

I didn't realize my use of the English language in that post you are referencing could be construed as being an "assumption" or a "presumption" because I honestly thought it was a question. Which explains why you didn't offer me a direct answer. Please forgive my very poor use of English.

And I have to "assume" that your post (that quote box) contains no "assumptions" and you can show me exactly where it is PROVEN that Director Wray was "unfounded" in his own use of the English language in his testimony under oath before the Congress of the United States?

And because I am prohibited from making assumptions in this discussion I have to ask what "responded properly" means?

Now, if I were in a VFW meeting and one of my Comrades were to answer me in the manner that you did I would "assume" she/he was just jerking me around, but as you are a gentleman of this community I will "assume" you are going to be honorable with your response to this post? (Yes, that last is also one of many questions.)

The consistent prudent legal advice is to never talk to LEO without representation present.

Or are you asserting that this isn't prudent legal advice which has a public record of always being given?

Wray is playing politics in what should be a clearly non-partisanship role. This alone should be sufficient for his dismissal.

Agreed. This is yet another example of how the DOJ / FBI (management anyway) has been politicized, their management structure playing politics instead of being non-partisan.

They are trying to downplay the assasination attempt by saying it was shrapnel. We have a clear path of the bullet by photograph.

I am believing the shrapnel part...damage from a .223 would be massive....take his ear off massive.. No one is saying there wasn't an attempt on his life (there are some CT's out there that think he set the whole thing up, but I am not talking about those folks...even they aren't saying it didn't happen.)
 
Airyaman said:
I'm personally going with 1st shot which was not captured on film, but it only nicked the edge of his ear and certainly did not penetrate or he would have a .223" hole in his ear (the ear appears to be fully intact in his photos from Netanyahu's visit). The one in the photo missed it was obviously too low. I really don't see anything in any of the videos that would have created the shrapnel but it is possible if there was a very low shot.

According to the doctor that treated it, it was a two centimeter wound.
 
Lutherf said:
The FBI isn't trying to "investigate" anything. Based on Wray's testimony before congress he CLEARLY indicated that the "assassination attempt" is mere projection that hasn't been proved and, as such, is a likely conspiracy to influence the voting public. Trump should probably be jailed during the investigation just so that he can't spread any more disinformation. It's the only way to save democracy.

that isn't what Wray said.

telling the truth to Congress is playing politics? Only in GOP land!

The bullet or shrapnel grazed his ear, did not go striaght through it.

A full and proper medical report from the attending physician would be helpful. Trump should have released that to the public but for certain the FBI have it.

What part of Wray's statement, i.e. 'Trump's ear was hit by shrapnel', is this unfamiliar to you 'truth' that you are referring to?

It was a partisan and inaccurate, if not dishonest, statement from Wray, clearly.
