4. That picture still horrifies me.

Hillary Clinton is not a lady easily shocked. She clearly is mortified in that picture. President Obama has darkest look I have ever seen on anyone. Most everyone in the room is practically hugging themselves trying to hold it together.

I can't imagine the horror of what they watched.


In contrast Tweeter was on the golf course. He wasn't in the room during the raid. The photo is more than 2 hrs after. A photo Op and nothing more. It would not surprise me if they didn't even inform him until after the deed was done and our personnel were back safe. He's a security risk. Even what little he was shown, or told, he had to go blab to the world right away.

Also, a Trump golf tracker says Trump was playing
golf at 3:30 when the raid occurred.

10. The men in photo #2 aren't even looking in the same direction.

And two people are looking straight at the camera. Even if it wasn't so symmetrical, that'd be the tell it was staged.

11. In the top photo, eyes are glued to what appears to be a screen. (we don't know, it doesn't matter)

All are glued to seeing what is going on in top photo.............

In bottom photo, that isn't true. Look in the eyes of the two guys in uniform to the right. Those two look very uncomfortable being there. The general in the army uniform looks particular uneasy to be with the lying ass**le. We don't know, but it does look like the photo is staged.

The glued eyes on the top photo, give us a sense that something important is going on. Something very important. The 12 or 13 people in the top photo, really don't give a shit who or why there is a picture being taken. While the people in the bottom photo, look like they are posing for a photo op...................and....

Thank You for posting those two, right next to each other...Again,

.............Special Thanks to ... Miles Archer.... for a great post for all to see.

14. Just look at the eyes of the people in both pictures.

In the top one, all eyes except the military officer who was accessing video are riveted on one spot. In the second one, people are looking at many different locations and there is not the tension of uncertainty that exists on the faces of the people in the top photo.

16. Notice the relative positions of the players, too...

Pres Obama is off to the side, because he was not in tactical command and was only a spectator on the operational details. He knows better than to interfere with the pros when they are at work.

Trump is sitting in the center, implying that he is in charge, running the show, the big boss. Like he's playing Call of Duty or something.

Obviously, one is real, one is staged.
