Secret Service ramped up security after receiving intel of Iranian plot to assassinate Trump; no known connection to shooting
US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
Ah, is this the excuse were going to use to dilute the real issue?. That it's Iran. Not a gun-fetishizing mentally-ill right-wing Trump supporter radicalized by his eventual target?
We're really trying to ignore the leopard eating all those faces.
Ignoring the article and focusing ob the picture: how can people leave so much trash behind? More so on a lawn.
That was ramped up?
Second time this year I've been made to cheer for Iran. What a crazy world.
You're operating under the assumption that this "intelligence" is legitimate or being provided in good faith.
If we accept that this intelligence even exists, there is a big difference between a state sanctioned plot, and signal intercepts between a couple hard-line officers blowing smoke up each other's asses.
All recent events show that Iran has consistently acted with restraint and moderation when dealing the theat of American military escalation.
Color me skeptical that they would blow past all other major escalation paths, and skip straight to one that guarantees a multi-month long air campaign to flatten their entire country, followed by a ground invasion, and occupation.
Iraq may have worked out strategically for Iran because of the cluster fuck that the occupation was, but that doesn't mean they want that for themselves.
I don't think I'd cheer for anyone trying to assasinate our politicians, especially a foreign government.
Twenty bucks is twenty bucks, bro.
John Bolton still has his Secret Service detail WTF?!
Anyone think a failed trump assassination attempt by Iran would be worse than a successful one?
And yet that rooftop was left unguarded!?
