Trump shot(?) at Pennsylvania rally

The lead U.S. Secret Service advance agent for the July 13 Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania learned three days before the event about "credible intelligence" of a threat to the former president but didn't inform the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office or share that information on the event's preliminary survey document, a new U.S. Senate report reveals.

Afugitive Iranian government operative is accused of hiring a pair of New Yorkers he met in prison to carry out an assassination plot against a critic of the regime, and allegedly admitted to FBI agents that he'd also been tasked with finding a hit squad to kill President-elect Donald Trump.

Farhad Shakeri, 51, claimed he was asked in September by regime officials to "put aside his other efforts... and focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump," according to a criminal complaint unsealed Friday in Manhattan federal court.

Shakeri countered that this would cost a "huge" amount of money, to which his regime contact replied, "We have already spent a lot of money so the money's not an issue." Shakeri said he was given a deadline of mid-October.

The New York Post recently published a report suggesting that the July 13 attempt on President Donald Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania, may not have been solely the work of Thomas Matthew Crooks but rather the doing of a "criminal network" that has benefited from alleged efforts by law enforcement to suppress critical information about the shooting.

Doug Hagmann told the Post that he was hired by a private client to look into the assassination attempt shortly after the deadly rally and has been working the case for several months with a team of six other investigators.

After interviewing over 100 people and conducting geofencing analysis of cellular devices not belonging to Crooks that were detected at his home, the rifle range where he practiced, and at the high school where he graduated two years prior to the shooting, Hagmann concluded, "We don't think he acted alone."

Various individuals who spoke to the Post characterized Crooks as a happy and "nerdy" individual — as someone whose transformation into a killer must have been private and possibly even nurtured.
