FBI Director Wray tells Congress would-be Trump assassin sought info about Kennedy assassination

[AlexB23]

When I was your age... we thought "maybe it exists". Of course we didn't realize we knew of one object pair in it already.

Frankly it was kind of dumb. Just the thought of all that mass to push against makes the "starship" rocket look tiny.

This was what I was thinking of:

Nuclear thermal rocket - Wikipedia

I used to be a "rocket surgeon" on this site, but no.

I have a friend who is into rockets. I haven't looked into them deeply since the SRS was a "commercially viable launch system". (And then it blew up.)

When I was a kid, the Kuiper belt was discovered around 18 years before learning about it (so 2010-1992 = 18 years). Fast forward to New Year's Day of 2019, and the New Horizons spacecraft flew by a Kuiper belt asteroid for the first time. Yeah, looking at the design, Project Orion is way too massive to be built cheaply. It makes Musk's Starship look very small.

I have heard of the nuclear thermal rockets, and those could work also, especially for interplanetary travel. Also, I do remember that your profile said "rocket surgeon", and it is cool that you have a friend that is into rockets. My boss built model rockets (solid fuel, of course), but he is now too busy to build any.

FBI Director Wray tells Congress would-be Trump assassin sought info about Kennedy assassination

This is the third hearing this week on the assassination attempt of the 45th president.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee about the agency's ongoing investigation of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, providing new information uncovered while other factors continue to be investigated.
Wray said Wednesday during the House hearing the would-be Trump assassin conducted a Google search on "how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?"

At one point during the hearing, Wray said that Crooks purchased a ladder prior to the shooting but it was not found at the site. Wray said the FBI is still looking into how Crooks was able to get on the roof.
The FBI is leading the investigation into the incident and so far has not found the motive of Crooks, who fired eight shots from a rooftop about 150 yards from the rally – killing one and wounding three, including Trump.

Committee member Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., asked Wray whether or not the gunman worked alone.
"So far we have not found any evidence of accomplices or coconspirators ... foreign or domestic," Wray replied.
Wray also said the FBI has yet to find a motive in the shooting, but that Crooks clearly had a fascination with public figures and that about a week before the shooting he became "very focused" on Trump and the rally. In addition, Wray said Crooks was not on the FBI's radar or in the agency's database before the shooting and that investigators found about 14 guns in his family home. Early in the hearing, Wray said that FBI has uncovered a drone that gunman used the day of the attempted assassination and that he flew it in the vicinity of the rally site about two hours before Trump took the stage, at about 5:30 p.m.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., pressed Wray for more information.
"When I say area, not over the stage and that part of the area itself," Wray said. "I would say about 200 yards."
He also called the assassination attempt a "threat to democracy."
"The attempted assassination of the former president was an attack on our democracy and our democratic process and we will not and do not tolerate political violence of any kind, especially a despicable account of this magnitude," he said in his opening statement. He also said the FBI is working "tirelessly" to figure out the failures of the rally.

The lack of information about this kid is astounding. Since this happened....we had a school shooter that hasn't been out of the news.

This left the news after about 4-5 days.

Not only did Crooks seek info the FBI is hiding about the Kennedy assassination, so are millions of Americans still waiting for the info to be released as it was supposed to have been years ago. What is the FBI hiding and why? We know it hid Seth Rich's laptop and Hunter's laptop while denying it had the devices.

Why does the FBI have Seth Rich's laptop to begin with?

The case is considered dead...and the laptop unrelated to the "botched robbery" and we've been assured by these trusted people at the FBI Seth had nothing to do with the DNC data leak.

If you think cops should be held responsible for preventing crime that it’s within their reasonable ability to prevent, welcome to the club. You can get your ACAB shirt by the door on the way out.

Remember back when the cops consistently reduced crime, year after year, until a wild pack of morons complained they aren't perfect?

The good ole days.

I have no doubt that there is indeed a cover up going on in the FBI and the Secret Service about the assassination attempt.

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was under surveillance and he got away from them. That would explain why they say there's no phone records. You mean this kid knew from the time he was 12 or 13 he knew he was going to be an assassin so he never had a cell phone?

No....he used multiple overseas encrypted networks to communicate with someone, the sort of thing that only terrorists typically know about.
