Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) questions Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle in a House Oversight hearing Monday on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Representative Waltz points out “the dog that didn’t bark.” WATCH: (just hit play)
.
♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?
♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?
♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?
The absence of official press briefings has been the dog that didn’t bark.
Instead, the Secret Service, FBI and Law Enforcement have been selectively leaking details, testing what would be and would not be accepted, and we have only seen controlled snippets of information.
Much of the information within those leaks has been lies, sometimes absurd in their construct, pushed through a generally incurious media.
Smart people have noted the absence of the official public information process indicates something very sketchy in the background. [ie. the dog that didn’t bark]
The attempted assassination of President Trump is a big deal; perhaps one of the biggest events in recent history. There is massive public interest.
If ordinary procedures and protocols were being followed, we would have official daily updates at scheduled press conferences, and the media would be able to present questions based on presented information. The absence of these press briefings tells us something that is not good.
The only reason to avoid sharing fact-based information with the public, is because rampant conspiracy theory is part of the intention.
Carry on!


Just to add some context …. name a single major incident covered on a national level over the past 20 years that did not include “barking dogs”.
The barking always started with steady “yapping by local little dogs” and evolved to the “major barking dogs” until all the media value was wrung out of the incident.
The problem cover-up’s face today is the deluge of uncontrolled data that exists for analysis. Something this monumental has trillions of bytes floating around. That being said … Sundance’s last sentence “… conspiracy theory is part of the intention.” is the defense mechanism until the official story is constructed.
More opinions = more confusion among: the willfully blind, la la landers and fringe elements of the political spectrum that expands the pool of confused clueless beyond the 50% point…until the official story is published.
She just resigned!
Mayorkas on deck!
And now never has to account for her actions!
I think there will be more attempts on his life before the election and no matter what the situation is, I will be voting for Trump because I hate Communists. Even a moron can see what is going on around him/her/whatever. Life is simple for me right now. Live my best life and pray for better days ahead.
Hmm. Strikes me that a lot of the chaos is caused by the failure of the sniper to kill DJT. But he came close. Now the deep state has to deal with a stronger and angrier Donal Trump.
Donald.
And his supporters!
A more wise Trump.
If you don’t imagine people are trying to kill you everyday, everyway, you act one way.
If you finally discover they are trying to kill you everyday anyway, you act differently. I know I would.
Cheatles behavior is part of the , “not good”. With the withering questions from the committee, most people would see it was not going well and try to accommodate some of the questions. Throw them a bone as they say.
But Cheatle stuck to her guns and refused to give them anything. How is that possible? She hardly flinched.
My take is that she was directed to not have pressers, not give info, and not cooperate, because they are hiding massive incompetency coupled with a turn your head and ignore attitude, that will take down her and her bosses. She has been told, at risk of major repercussions, do not give them anything, and take the fall if need be.
She was just too cold and steady. Did you notice that her non-answers were just like Mayorkas?
I personally doubt it was such a compendium of incompetence.
OCCAM’S RAZOR suggests the simplest explanation is probably the actual explanation.
So I will don my tinfoil hat and suggest that this entire event was an in-house, well planned deep state conspiracy.
I think there were other shooters inside the building (2nd floor)
They let the dufus Crooks dude onto the roof and waited for him to shoot. He was interrupted by local police and it threw the entire planned event into chaos.
They let him shoot, Then they shot.
They all missed Trump.
An ACT of God.
The SS waited for him to shoot and then shot him to clean up loose ends.
They expected his shot (or the 2nd floor shooters) to have been successful, but God stepped in.
I expect in the next few days to hear about a few people getting killed in car accidents or other normal episodes.
Too many people were part of this.
They have to go. Seth Rich style.
Another Biden failure- His DEI hire (or actually ‘dr’ Jill’s- they were buddies). NINE DAYS after Trump was shot she STILL hadn’t bothered to go to the site and see it…her answers to Congress were NOT answers, it was arrogant stonewalling..and besides the questions the Oversight Committee raised (all cogent and all of which went unanswered by this failure)- I have another question…..why was one of the agents who ran up to the Podium to surround Trump a female agent a full HEAD SHORTER than Trump?? Those who are assigned that job should be Trump’s height or taller…his head was still exposed and if the assassin hadn’t been killed and had been able to get off a SECOND shot, Trump’s head would have been exposed. I have never been in law enforcement- but even I saw the problem with that.
What I found disappointing in watching this entire hearing was that the best questions and best interrogation happened the longer it went. By the time Waltz was up, I believe he was one if not the last to question the director.
Same lack of official communication on Biden withdrawing from 2024 and HIS HEALTH.
There comes a point when the sum of all displayed incompetence exceeds the credibility of the claim that this was not an organized assassiination attempt.
She resigns. Shouldn’t she be held for criminal conspiracy to murder?
An interesting revelation from Pennsylvania State Police …
The officers assigned to watch the rooftop from a window in an adjacent building were pulled from their post to join the ground search for the suspicious person, just moments before Crooks climbed up.
Really poor decision by PSP, pulling the counter snipers team observing the threat vector in order to join the manhunt. Not clear if the officers would have seen Crooks from their window had they stayed in place.
