92. I what I find odd with all these attempts on Don....

Is once they are caught or killed and convicted, we hear nothing about what actually happen... Nothing on the attempted assassin's background, nothing on Don's medical procedures from the injuries in which his ear healed in an amazing two weeks from a supposable bullet.... , nothing... This guy over the weekend, we will hear nothing about him that has any meaningful information...
Whether this was a staged incident or not, is beside the point... something happened and we will never know the truth from this administration... It's just the way it's being run right now. Don't expect any answers to your question... because we will never know.
