It's a distinction without a difference. "Trump wasn't injured by a bullet, he was injured by shrapnel from the bullet" doesn't let the FBI or the SS off the hook for missing this kid before he started shooting.
Yeah it's a stupidly thin hair to split, to the point where it's irrelevant. It doesn't matter if the bullet hit him or the shrapnel caused by the bullet hit him. The fact is there was a guy with a rifle within pissing distance. The government really fucked up.
Not that I'm either surprised nor disappointed by that fact. I personally suspect that the secret service treats the Trump detail as the dump assignment for all of the shittiest, bottom 1% of their security personnel.
Idk a lot of law enforcement is pro trump, they might have wanted the detail.
Yeah, and the ones that did are probably the bottom of the barrel.
