One thing is that if nobody is caught for it, people will absolutely blame the gov. You can't have another JFK situation with 60+ years without knowing the truth. In this day n age with internet sleuths, camera phones, ring cameras, public cameras, etc, you have to be careful as to not have an assassin be caught and traced back. Didn't this latest guy get busted by a citizen who followed him and took a pic of his plate because he looked suspicious?
That being said, you need a patsy to take the wrap. So you need an Oswald, but you can't risk him talking either, and you can't have another Jack Ruby. Best way to avoid that is to have him be taken out by secret service.
So to avoid having a real assassin or shooter or their location (like on the Zapruder film) being caught on film again and traced back, maybe they just put their faith on the kid to be able to pull off a relatively simple shot after training for enough time (which he was doing).
We can't forget that he basically did pull it off... like, we saw that head turn at that split nano second that saved Trump's life... call it what you will, but that dude was done for until that happened.
Not to mention, the amount of people willing to take on that kind of mission can't be much, its a one way trip, unless you're gullible enough to believe lies that you'll be taken care of and helped out afterwards...like a young kid would. I don't see many professionals willing to take that job knowing it's a one way trip.
Either that or he was just a loner who wanted to go out with a bang. Who knows, but if I'm CIA, I'd think that'd be a pretty good plan all things considered. Nothing comes back on the agency... unless independent companies conduct their own research like the one that allegedly found cell phone pings between the kids house and an FBI office in DC
I honestly don't think it's that deep.
That dumb kid should have been shot dead the moment he climbed up onto his vantage spot. The Secret Service detail that Trump has with him is full of morons. There were so many unforced errors that day you'd think they were trying to get the buffoon killed. But most likely, we can attribute this entire thing to incompetence and not malice.
Trump doesn't want capable, serious professionals around him, he wants stooges and loyalists. I would bet that his detail is full of MAGA true believers that are nowhere near the best the SS has to offer.
If the US government wants you dead, you will be dead. There are no near misses.
What they certainly wouldn't do is say "damnit Jeff, we can't find anyone to take the mission... any of you know any jabronis?"
"Uh yeah let me scour 4chan for a few to see if I can find a potential school shooter we can mold into an assassin, and I'll get back to you on that one."
