Here is the current FBI story:

- Crooks had no social media.
- Crooks had no phone data that revealed a motive.
- Crooks had no friends.
- Crooks acted alone.
- Crooks was able to climb on a roof kinda-sorta undetected and lined up the perfect shot on a president.

Makes sense!

The sloped roof excuse from Secret Service Director Cheatle exposes just how blatantly unqualified she is for the job. Like, really? Secret Service only operates on flat roofs? Come. On. https://t.co/3CTRDpUDp4
