Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

GOOD QUESTIONS
It's the White House Press Corps, so we'll find out the details in 27 different books approximately 2-3 years from now.

(6,134 posts)...will his family be able to sue Trump's 'Justice Department,' Ashli Babbitt style; and will FAUX NEWS be working around the clock to DOX the SS agent who shot him?
Somehow I doubt it. But the so called 'press' should be asking what the difference is.

for a photo of Trump the Invincible before they evacuated him.
(For those who don't get that reference, there is a video circulating of the Butler shooting that shows the crane, that held the giant flag, moving immediately after the shots to bring the flag into the picture frame as shown in that uncanny iconic photo of the Butler affair. I don't know if the video is authentic. If so, that certainly seems like a planned thing.)

That was a jaw-dropping moment for me.

(2,984 posts)We really need to know, because if the video is authentic, there is almost no way to believe that was not a planned stunt. And the word "stunt" hardly does justice, considering two people were killed, or at least we are supposed to believe two people were killed.
I still have trouble believing anybody would have orchestrated such a gruesome thing, but we certainly saw that happen to JFK. It is important to know if that video is legit.
And for those who say it would be impossible to organize such a complicated operation and keep it quiet, that is exactly what happened with Kennedy. The late Rob Reiner produced a series of podcasts last year that methodically connected an entire web of people who orchestrated the JFK assassination. Reiner couldn't conclusively say who actually pulled the trigger, but it is clear there were several dozen people (inside and outside the government) heavily involved in that operation, and practically all of them have gone to their graves without revealing what they knew. The people at that level of government and society play by different rules and ethics.
