FBI, Secret Service ‘dragging their feet' on Trump assassination probe: Ron Johnson

2024-08-26

[NY Post] Sen. Ron Johnson accused the FBI and Secret Service of stonewalling a Senate probe of last month’s assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Johnson (R-Wis.), who is part of a bipartisan Senate investigation into the attempt on Trump’s life, argued that the bureau and Secret Service have complicated the probe by giving them redacted documents, often on the day of key interviews.

"All I can really tell you is the Secret Service, FBI are basically dragging their feet. They’re stonewalling us," Johnson vented on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures."

"We’re not getting squat, from my standpoint, from the Secret Service or the FBI. We have requested all their 302s, their transcriptions of their interviews with hundreds of individuals. They’re not turning those over to us as well."

A bevy of organizations is probing how Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was able to crawl up onto a rooftop on July 13 and fire off eight shots, including one that clipped and drew blood from Trump’s right ear.

The shooting killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and left two other rally attendees — David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74 — severely wounded. Crooks was killed by law enforcement.

"If you want to design an investigation to raise suspicions and drive conspiracy theories, this is exactly how you do that investigation," Johnson added. "It was just jaw-dropping that they released the body for cremation before anybody’s seen any autopsy or toxicology reports."

"It’s just driving suspicion and conspiracy theories."

Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Gary Peters (D-Mich.) is helming an inquiry into the assassination attempt in the upper chamber. Johnson was previously chair of that committee.

We know a lot more than they provided to us for the JFK assassination. It took place 60+ years ago and we are still waiting to read and see whom in DC were the planners and the Grassy Knoll shooters.

#4 Of course they're dragging their feet. One of their brotherhood might loose his job, and we can't be setting precedents life that.
