A short background detail.  Almost no one knows this, but Chuck Grassley has the best research and legislative staff in all of Washington, DC.  Grassley’s guys are quick into the silos and understand how to stealth navigate through the system of compartmentalization that exists. [Every republican in the intel sphere will admit this] This video footage being retrieved and released specifically by Grassley’s team does not surprise me.  Great job Team Grassley.

In this footage, release by Senator Grassley via his X-Account, you will see conversation with snipers, state police, local LEO and Secret Service.  Senator Grassley communicates the following message to accompany the release:

“SENSITIVE CONTENT: July 13 Bodycam footage provides more info than Secret Service will share w America We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY. Vid obtained from Beaver Co Emergency Services Unit in compliance w congressional requests.”

Shortly after Grassley’s team released the video, it was removed from Twitter – but not before it was captured for sharing by other users.

BODY CAM: Video footage has been released of an officer clearly stating a sniper had eyes on Thomas Crooks

Took pictures and “called it out” sometime before he took a shot at President Trump

The right-wing of the DC UniPParty played their role very well.  With mission accomplished, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned her position, following the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

(Via NBC) –  In her resignation letter, obtained from a senior official who received it, Cheatle wrote that the “scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases.” She added she takes “full responsibility for the security lapse.”

“In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director,” wrote Cheatle, who had led the agency since September 2022.  It’s unclear when her last day will be. (more)

Dept of Homeland Security, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, appoints Ronald Rowe as his replacement.  Rowe was one of Obama’s foot soldiers who helped create the domestic surveillance and targeting mechanisms for the weaponized Intelligence Community.  Go figure.

Well, there’s the answers.  The DNC has announced they will proceed with the roll call vote for nomination next Wednesday [link].  That puts Kamala on track to announce her VP selection around this weekend.  And the cherry on the cake is Eric Holder doing the vetting for the Harris campaign.

Right on track, the process seamless.  Almost as if this was the plan all along. 🙄 lol

July 22 (Reuters) – Former Attorney General Eric Holder and his law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, will conduct vetting of potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for the U.S. presidency, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Harris is running for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Joe Biden announced on Sunday he was stepping aside.

A campaign spokesperson for Harris declined to comment. (more)

The top list of the VP possibilities are:

• Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, • Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, • Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, • North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, • California Gov. Gavin Newsom, • Illinois Governer JB Pritzker, • Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and • Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Which one do you think Obama will select?

My bet is on Mark Kelly.

During a lengthy interview being widely discussed, Tucker Carlson and Jack Posobiec discuss the Trump assassination effort and the Joe Biden removal operation.

I would caution that multiple political and strategic planning components of the Trump assassination aspect are incorrect. Neither Posobiec or Carlson begin from the factual starting point that removing both Donald Trump and Joe Biden was the original 2024 intent. Once you accept that cornerstone, the house of thought you build changes.

There were a lot of political and campaign soundbites generated by the testimony, non-testimony, of Secret Service Direct Kimberly Cheatle today; however, one exchange between Cheatle and Representative Raja Krishnamoorhi is worth reviewing.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi plays a video in front of Cheatle showing people in the crowd pointing to the shooter and shouting at law enforcement.  Krishnamoorthi then take the opportunity to ask follow-up questions. WATCH (prompted):

Today, the House Oversight Committee [aka ‘Chaff and Countermeasures Committee] is questioning Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, on the “Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump.”

Director Cheatle is under fire for the catastropic, almost deadly, failures to provide security to President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Republicans are using the opportunity of Cheatle’s appearance to find answers about the events.  Cheatle is not expected to remain in office as the transition from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris happens in the White House.

The hearing starts at 10:00am ET with Livestream Links Below:

A few datapoints are starting to align in a specific direction. Let’s look at the data, then see if a possibility holds merit.

(1) Barack Obama did not endorse Kamala Harris. Given Obama’s distain from ever being on the losing side of anything, the implication is that Kamala likely doesn’t have what it takes to win. The Lightbringer preferring to relish the role of nominee Kingmaker at the Chicago convention, in combination with his massive ego, aligns with this likelihood. Meanwhile, (2) Gavin Newsom does endorse Kamala Harris. Given Newsom’s career ambitions, this decision appears to be looking toward 2028.

Both datapoints would seem to indicate the professional wing of the leftist operation view the November election as an exercise in futility. However, with bets being hedged, that’s not the end of the play. Now we look closer at the position of Biden.

(Via Politico) – […] Steve Ricchetti, who’s been with Biden since his days in the Senate, drove to see the president at his house on the Delaware shore on Friday. Mike Donilon arrived on Saturday. The two men, both of whom had been by Biden’s side during key decisions about whether to seek the presidency in 2016 and 2020, sat at a distance from the president, still testing positive for Covid, and presented damning new information in a meeting that would hasten the end of Biden’s political career.

In addition to presenting new concerns from lawmakers and updates on a fundraising operation that had slowed considerably, they carried the campaign’s own polls, which came back this week and showed his path to victory in November was gone. (read more)

(3) The Biden campaign was not going to have money, and, regardless of funds, the polling indicated it was a futile effort.  Trump was going to crush Biden.  This point highlights and supports points #1 and #2, the positions of Obama and Newsom.

(4) Later in the day, Frank Biden, Joe’s younger brother, indicates to CBS that Joe Bidens health is deteriorating quickly.  This is the first admission that Joe Biden’s “health” was a major consideration.  When talking about Joe, Frank’s specific phrase, “to enjoy whatever time we have left” speaks volumes.

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo and reveals some stunning information.

At 4:27 of the video, Johnson outlines how a mystery man in a suit instructed law enforcement to send pictures of deceased Thomas Matthew Crooks to a phone number presumably connected to the ATF.  There’s a lot of odd stuff in this interview. Including Crooks being photographed at 5:10pm a full hour prior to President Trump’s arrival. {Direct Rumble Link Here} WATCH:

The FBI are in charge of the investigation of Thomas Matthew Crooks; that does not inspire any confidence.  However, it does explain the seemingly controlled leaking of information to the various media sources in order to keep the eyes of the public exactly where the investigators want them.

In every article and investigative detail that is leaked to media, remember the origination source of that information is coming from the FBI.  Top men.

The latest information to leak out includes revelations the FBI is going through 2 cell phones, a laptop and some USB drives belonging to Thomas Crooks.  From the same sourcing they are saying that Crooks conducted online surveillance of several public officials for several months [NY Post Article].

In addition, the Wall Street Journal is sharing that Crooks flew a drone over the venue of the Trump rally earlier in the day in order to scope out the best place for attack.

SUMMARY – In addition to bringing explosives, a detonator, a ladder, a range finder, a backpack and an AR15 rifle to the rally, while finding a way to sit atop the counter-sniper position, the 20-year-old without a social media footprint apparently had air superiority.

(Via Wall St Journal) […] The gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.

Interestingly, Nancy Pelosi held a meeting with the California House delegation on July 10th, nine days ago, to strategize how to exit Biden without a “coronation of Kamala Harris.”  Details of the meeting are only coming out now.

Keep in mind, only through an “open convention” process can someone other than Kamala Harris take over the ticket.  Pelosi gives the appearance of calling for the democrat base to have a say in the replacement, but in actuality it’s the only way the club insiders can select a nominee that’s not Kamala Harris.

(Via Politico) – […] The discussion in that meeting of the California delegation, which includes 40 members, took place in the Capitol on July 10, at least partly focused on the complicated next steps for the Democratic Party if Biden left the ticket. And they specifically talked about the potential political downsides of party elites quickly crowning the vice president as the next nominee, according to four people familiar with the discussion, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.

[…] The concern wasn’t about Harris’ strengths as a candidate — and in fact, several people made clear Harris needed to be the party’s next pick — but instead centered on worries that party bosses were choosing the president, rather than the party’s base.

“Nancy was leading that charge that it needed to be an open process,” according to a person briefed on the meeting, who was granted anonymity to avoid blowback from House leadership. (link)

Additionally, the list of democrats who are calling for Biden to make an exit announcement now includes members of the congressional black caucus.  This is the first crack in the only remaining Biden coalition that was standing firmly in his defense.
