Meanwhile, the most inane and unbelievable shit dribbles out of Trump administration officials mouths and journalists will be all "an official familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC" without the hint of a doubt
e; This article has been updated with the feds' new story, and the new headline is a great example of exactly what I was talking about
You could say that's what these "officials" claimed, but ABC sure won't.
At any rate, a couple of questions,
Why were the local cops totally in the dark on this? If the secret service was investigating a death threat, what was the plan if their suspect wasn't at home or at school? Just hang around Chicago until you spot them? And if you're confronting a potentially dangerous person at a school, wouldn't you really want to have a whole coordinated police action instead of just having one agent waltz in on their own?
Did this agent identify themselves as secret service and tell the school why they were there? Because they should have but I don't understand how the school would have thought they were ICE if they did, and I don't believe this school would throw a press conference to lie about this when they had to know the federal government would respond to their press conference.
Lastly, if ICE and the secret service were just lying through their teeth to ABC, how would we know? Alternatively, if they were telling the truth, how could we know? Because absent some kind of external proof statements from the Trump administration have zero informational value.
Are they claiming they sent the Secret Service because some 5-11 year old kid made a threat against the president? That's completely unbelievable.
Why exactly would the school officials lie? They aren't even in the Trump administration.
Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood the post. Sorry.
No worries at all! Text communication is tricky at the best of times and I have absolutely no discipline when I write and have like fifteen thoughts per sentence, with at least four being hyperbole, two that are sarcastic, and one that's a reference to a random playstation game I rented from blockbuster but forgot the name of, so, yeah, misunderstandings happen.
