At the Institute for Political Economy, Paul Craig Roberts suggests that during testy hearings between the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and United States Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, the Republicans, though fired up, were asking the wrong questions. He writes:
Rep. Jordan should be asking: “Did the Secret Service collect the fired bullets?” “All of them?” “Are they all from the same rifle?” “What is the explanation for the acoustic evidence showing shots from different distances?” “How can the same rifle be in different locations?” “This implies more than one shooter.” “Did the Secret Service overlook other disturbed ‘lone gunmen’ in addition to Crooks, or does the acoustic evidence indicate a deep state plot to kill Trump?” “Is the Secret Service making any effort to discover if there was a plot?”
These are the questions that need to be out there. These are the questions and answers that matter. The Republicans are not up to the job, and the deep state is being given a pass.
The Secret Service’s Failure-to-Protect Is Being Blamed on “an Operational Failure”
The assassination plot is being covered up—
Secret Service Director admits “significant operational failure.” No Deep State plot. Just an operational failure.
The official narrative has taken the form I said it would.
The issue for the Republicans is Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation and not whether there was a Deep State attempt on Trump’s life. For example, Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, defined the issue as the Secret Service “lacks the proper management.”
The fight over whether Cheatle’s “significant operational failure” is consistent with her remaining in command will exhaust the subject of the assassination. The acoustic evidence showing more than one shooter will not be reported and carefully investigated. The issue of a Democrat/Deep State plot will not be raised.
