I have seen reports that the USSS detail was mostly substitutes drawn from surrounding areas. The primary team was off, and the best of the rest were assigned to FLOTUS that day. I can imagine how botched everything can get. But I am still puzzled at one thing - how did they get a near-instant DNA match of someone with no criminal background and, seemingly, no digital footprint. Still fishy.

They must have called his handlers at the CIA.

He actually died of Covid, tested positive by PCR test.

An innocent hero, taken way before his time.

IтАЩve thought about that too. IтАЩm no expert but I wonder if they tentatively IDтАЩd him from facial recognition, then got some known DNA from a personal item of the shooterтАЩs from home to compare to? But it still seems unlikely that they could have had the lab analysis done so quickly.

The gun was legally purchased by his father so this part makes sense to me.

I dunno. The report is a DNA match, not the gun serial number. Still fishy.

To be fair, we donтАЩt even know if it was Crooks. Who can verify even that?

I read a report somewhere that the shooter had no ID, but the serial number of the rifle led to his father
