On October 21, the congressional task force released Interim Staff Report: Investigating the Stunning Security Failures  on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania. The detailed report charges the Secret Service with inadequate planning and concludes that “the tragic events of July 13 were preventable.” The task force shows no interest in shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ background and associations long before he nearly killed Donald Trump. The same is true of the October 15 report from the supposedly “independent review panel” appointed by DHS boss Alejandro Mayorkas. The report finds “deep flaws” within the U.S. Secret Service, “a troubling lack of critical thinking,” and a need for “fundamental reform.” A time line is helpful but the panel comes up short in other ways.

“The July 13 assassination attempt was not the work of a trained foreign adversary prepared to conduct a multi-dimensional attack and willing to sacrifice themselves in the process,” the report explains. The Butler site leaders had been briefed on “intelligence related to a long range threat against former President Trump by a foreign state actor,” a possible allusion to Iran and its proxy forces. On the other hand, the report avoids the possibility of domestic collaboration in the assassination attempt. In previous months, Democrats and their media allies portrayed Trump as a threat to democracy and compared him to Hitler. This panel’s inclusion of partisan Democrat Janet Napolitano puts its independence in doubt.

On her watch, Napolitano shifted DHS focus from Islamic terrorism to Obama’s domestic opposition, and she was a shrill critic of Trump from the start. As head of the University of California, Napolitano sued Trump for trimming back the DACA program, which she helped establish. In 2020, from the DNC war room, Napolitano charged that “This is Donald Trump’s America” and “what we have seen is really a demise in public safety at its most basic level.” Trump “incited” the January 6 riot, Napolitano charged in 2021, and last April the former DHS boss said that Trump running as a law-and-order candidate, “just doesn’t hold true” and claimed that “there was a terrific spike in violent crime, really, during the end of the Trump presidency.” And so on.

At this writing, no formal report on the assassination attempt has emerged from the FBI, whose director Christopher Wray told a July 24 House Judiciary Committee hearing that “there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his [Trump’s] ear.” This evasion should come as no surprise.

Last year in Nashville,  “transmaid” Audrey Hale gunned down three children and three adults. The FBI gained control of Hale’s manifesto and opposed its release despite a judge’s order.  The FBI still has no suspects in the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, quite possibly the leaker of Hillary Clinton’s emails. The FBI has Rich’s computer but won’t reveal what was on it. The FBI has no suspects in the murder of Philip Haney, author of See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad. The FBI grabbed Haney’s electronic devices and written materials but so far no release of contents.

Expect no FBI revelations on the assassination attempt on Trump. On the other hand, with  Kamala Harris calling Trump a “fascist” and “dangerous,” and Biden Junta mouthpieces like Anne Applebaum comparing Trump to Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini, another assassination attempt on Trump becomes more likely.
