In reply to the discussion: The conspiracy theories make us look bad [View all]intheflow
(29,130 posts)63. 😯 I hadn't seen that detail yet.
Article says SS and local sheriffs are blaming each other. My guess its the local cops who misunderstood their orders. I mean, it was a SHED. They didnt hear anyone crawling around on the roof? Did they assume it was someone trying to get a better view, and/or that the SS covered the roof and they only thought they had to look out a window or doorway to secure the building? They were in there for the shade, lazy hicks figured it would be a cakewalk cause the Feds were overseeing the whole event.

After decades of them spraying shit all over reality, I will not defend Trump nor stamp out anti-Trump rumors.

This. I'm really not going to worry if my distrust of the convicted felon "looks bad" to someone.
