'SNIPER' - FBI shares horrifying details after threat to Trump's life found near him...
[X]

An overexcited headline from the Conservative Brief piece that links a Fox News report — there’s not much new, as they haven’t found any miscreants yet.
President Donald Trump rapidly boarded Air Force One using a smaller staircase on Sunday due to “increased security measures” at Palm Beach International Airport, a White House official told Fox News.

The enhanced precautions were implemented after the Secret Service discovered a suspected hunting stand on Friday near the airport that had a clear line of sight to the presidential aircraft during Trump’s arrivals and departures.

Fox News was the first to report the discovery of the possible sniper position. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident. FBI Director Kash Patel said an investigation was already underway, adding that the position had yet to be attributed to anyone.

“Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” Patel told Fox News Digital.

Trump MAGA agenda seriously threatens the Deep State & DC Swamp Elite. They have tried the courts, Congress, car ramming & bullets, to stop him and failed

GOD forbid, what will they try next?
Havana Syndrome, Cancer, Terrorist excuse, AF-1 issue, or what?

2 I would think that an airport tarmac would not be an appropriate place for a deer blind. A better place would to set one next to a highway in Ohio. That’s where the deer live.

3 SS should post a counter sniper zeroed in on the stand. And wax anyone setting up for a shot.

4 Given recent history, concern is warranted... however, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

5 #4 Definitely, a lot more need be known. Big bucks will frequently take refuge in suburban/urban border areas with ambiguous regulations.

I can just about imagine some guy trying to ninja his way from his truck to his stand, bow in hand only to find himself face down under a dozen Secret Service agents. Sigh, it was such a good spot, too.

Seasonal humor notwithstanding, more need be known.

6 Dive medic has a good breakdown on a cold bore 600 yard shot across a busy highway (air turbulence). Understand the site was under surveillance for “some time” before the SS decided to talk about it

7 For what little it's worth, people elsewhere on the internet that are familiar with the location say that it's not a hunting area and even if it was, the stand is facing the wrong direction. A look on Bing Maps doesn't seem to suggest that this would be a place to hunt. Too many houses to close together and not enough land suitable for hunting.

8 @#4: Uh…what? Are you serious? Go look at an aerial photograph of the areas around the Palm Beach Intl. airport and then come back and say that.

Nothing about the area lends itself to deer hunting.
