DISINFO: Deep State failed to kill Trump, could try again

SUMMARY

Will the Deep State get away with its assassination attempt and will it attempt another? They utilised multiple tactics to get rid of Trump before turning to assassination: Russia-gate, two impeachments, porn star-gate, documents-gate, insurrection-gate and then 4 criminal indictments and several civil indictments. The Democrats acting for the deep state believed they could get rid of Trump in these ways. When these attempts failed, they turned to assassination. Acoustic evidence of the shootings makes it completely clear that there were more than one shooter.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory not backed by any evidence, aiming to exploit the attempt on the life of former US president Donald Trump to advance recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about global elites and the US Deep State.

Contrary to what this disinformation story claims, nothing points to the existence of a second shooter, an idea that was peddled by Republican senator Ron Johnson but is unsubstantiated.

There were multiple mistakes in the security detachment to protect Trump, which have been acknowledged by the head of the US Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle. She has since resigned from her post. The Department of Homeland Security has announced a thorough review of security failures. These errors have led to multiple conspiracy theories and speculation, but there is no evidence of any intentional mistake or broader plot to kill Trump.

The shooter who tried to kill Trump was positively identified as 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Although his motives remain unclear, his former classmates described him as conservative-leaning and as a “misfit” and a “loner”. According to data collected from Crooks’ mobile phone, he had searched for information on both Donald Trump and Joe Biden. There is nothing indicating that he may be linked to any broader conspiracy.

Promoting conspiracy theories is a frequent pro-Kremlin technique to sow mistrust in institutions in democratic countries. See other examples in our database, such as claims that the West is behind the attempt on Slovak PM Robert Fico's life, that JFK was assassinated by Israel which controls US deep-state, that globalists aim to destroy Russia because Russia supports transition to a multipolar world order, or that there was electoral fraud in the US because the Deep State didn’t want Trump reelected.
