The White House, Congress, and FBI immediately announced investigations into how a 20-year-old who couldn’t make his high school gun team nearly killed the former and potentially future leader of the free world Saturday. In a city as corrupt as Washington, D.C., “investigation” is politico-speak for “cover-up.”
That goes double for Merrick Garland or Chris Wray, the heads of the DOJ and FBI, respectively. Any investigation into this assassination attempt from which they do not recuse themselves is irrevocably poisoned. In fact, any involvement even from their headquarters and D.C. offices is a sure sign the investigations are cover-ups. It’s not even clear that field offices are credible investigators. The best option would be a genuinely independent commission or special prosecutor.

The lead investigating entity should be a special prosecutor or independent commission. https://t.co/ZdTcBikWDD
