Knowing full well that the US federal authorities have no intention of disclosing whatever information they discover about the second would-be assassin of Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis is conducting, as of more than a week ago, his state's own independent investigation:
DeSantis Takes Matters Into His Own Hands on Assassination Attempt
In the wake of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Florida would conduct its own investigation.
[ ... ]
For a second time in two months, a would-be assassin was able to get within shooting range of Trump. The first time, Trump sustained a wound to his ear in Butler, Pa., after Thomas Michael Crooks climbed atop a building in the firing line of the former president and managed to get off several shots before he was shot and killed by Secret Service. One rallygoer was killed, and another was severely wounded in the attack.
Despite the fact that the head of the Secret Service at the time, Kimberly Cheatle, testified before Congress and later resigned, many unanswered questions remain. There's no indication that anyone within the agency was disciplined or even reprimanded for failing to secure the rally venue and protect Trump.
DeSantis is not taking any chances with a second attempt on Trump's life in Florida.
"The State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club," he posted on Twitter. "The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee."
Indeed, the 5th hole of the golf course, where Trump was reportedly putting, is mere feet away from the road, where there was apparently no security posted, enabling the shooter, Ryan Routh, to hide in the bushes.
Read the rest. This article came out on September 15, so I'm curious to know what's been found out since then. I'm standing by.
