Former President Donald Trump is pushing the claim that the man who was shot dead after while trying to breach an FBI building was part of a false flag operation, Rolling Stone reports.
In an attack that appeared to be a direct response to the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, an armed man tried to storm an FBI office in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The assailant, who was shot dead by police after exchanges of gunfire and an hours-long standoff, reportedly posted on Trump's Truth Social platform that he hoped his actions would serve as a "call to arms."
While Trump hasn't mentioned the conspiracy theory publicly, sources tell Rolling Stone that he's been telling people close to him that the attacker, Ricky Shiffer -- who was on law enforcement's radar due to his connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot -- might actually have been someone acting to discredit Trump supporters.

Turns out he was from Columbus. And I was blaming him from being from S.W. OH (Klan Country).
An armed man who was fatally shot Thursday by Ohio law enforcement after he attempted to break into the FBI's suburban Cincinnati's office and exchanged gunfire with police said on a social media account that he was an electrician living in Columbus.
The man, identified by law enforcement authorities as 42-year-old Ricky Walter Shiffer, appears to have most recently lived in Omaha, Nebraska, and the St. Petersburg and Tampa areas in Florida, records indicate. However, he has had several Columbus addresses in the past and was a registered voter in Franklin County from at least as far back as 2013 and last voted here in the November 2020 election. Records show he began voting in Florida in the April 2021 primary.

(8,387 posts)...how we have a endless supply of volunteers willing to act like Trump supporters, commit violent acts, and suffer the consequences, just to make Trump supporters look bad?
Now, that's dedication right there, amirite?

(12,378 posts)it's really comical to read how desperate they are to try to deny it was one of their own.
You ever notice how much shriller the RWer's get as the evidence gets more and more damning against Benedict Donald?
I sure am seeing the MAGAt's getting much more shriller.
