The Secret Stumblebums

 There are some things you just can NOT make up.

In the attempted assassination in Florida:

...the Secret Service was notified at 2:30 a.m. that Trump would play golf. He arrived at the golf course around 11 a.m. At 1:30 p.m., Trump having been on the golf course for about two hours, the Secret Service is conducting its preliminary sweep of the golf course boundary and discovers the shooter. The shooter, Ryan Wesley Routh, had been in his shooting position since 1:59 a.m. This latter data point is not mentioned in the report....

It gets even better.

 ...The agent first noticed the suspect, later identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, and then noticed the barrel of Routh’s gun sticking through the fence line. The special agent, who may have been as close as five feet away from Routh, immediately responded by firing shots toward the suspect. It is believed six shots in total were fired...quoting the Congressional report

NOT ONE OF THOSE ROUNDS HIT THE TARGET.

NOT ONE.

FIVE FEET AWAY.

Comment from RedState author:

...How does any human miss a target basically within arm's reach? How do you get within five feet of a gunman without seeing anything ... And how, in the name of all that is Holy, can't you definitively tell how many rounds were fired?  "[B]elieved six shots in total were fired" is NOT a number. Don't they keep track of ammunition in the Secret Service? Don't they have an SOP for loading magazines? How will "final ballistics" help determine this if you apparently don't know how many rounds you started out with?...

Even at his age, Clint Eastwood could do a better job than this clown-car.  We have grand-children who can shoot better than that, AND who know how to count rounds in/out of the mag.

Iranian operatives here to kill Trump will be laughing for weeks.  I don't blame them.
