Trump Shooting Shrapnel Conspiracy Theory

Yesterday, FBI director Christopher Wray, with no evidence to back it up, released a conspiracy theory that is all over the mainstream media today.

FBI Director says the bureau is unsure if Trump's ear was hit by bullet or shrapnel

The only thing between Trump and the shooter would have been a teleprompter.

Fact-checking the shattering teleprompter conspiracy theory at Trump rally shooting

Wray basically proved yesterday that the FBI was in on it and is covering up evidence but you judge for yourself. Don't take my word for it. Use your head.

Update:

I have started suspecting that whenever a left-wing conspiracy theory comes out, it is fair to suspect that Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo is behind it. In his own words:

Finally Word from the FBI -About the Trump Story The Press Has Refused to Question

And by the way, left-wing conspiracy theories are not aimed at spreading truth. Their aim is to spread confusion and disinformation. Director Wray had no intent to dispel false conspiracy theories. Spy agencies far prefer to muddy the waters with false theories. Watch for them. Generally speaking, common sense tells you they are false. Director Wray spreading this left-wing conspiracy theory with absolutely no evidence to back it up is precisely what I am referring to.

Update July 27:

After Floating Shrapnel Conspiracy Theory, FBI Now Says a Bullet Struck President Trump’s Ear – Trump Responds

I realize this new truth paradigm is fresh off the press, but I would think Talking Points Memo would owe it to their subscribers to issue a retraction. No sign of one yet, though, just more hatred of conservatives.

One thing to note, the shooter had a clear shot. There's zero reason to suspect that the bullet broke up mid-air without striking something first. That just doesn't happen, and the FBI knows that.
