Patriot,

Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives held a hearing on the attempted assassination of presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump.

This was a unique hearing where both Republicans and Democrats came together to condemn the failure of a top government official.

And it was a reminder of Jack Nicholson’s character in the movie A Few Good Men: “You can’t handle the truth!!”

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle refused to answer almost every question put to her by the panel over a four-hour period and was anything but forthcoming and transparent.

Fortunately, Cheatle resigned this morning. It was only because her position was totally untenable. She couldn’t keep saying “the buck stops with me” and then sit there doing nothing and supposedly having no answers.


You see, Congress has failed time after time to hold those responsible for misdeeds accountable (see Anthony Fauci, the poster child for a government out of control, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper who lied to Congress about government spying).

Lately, we have seen Congress consistently hamstrung by the lack of needed votes every step of the way, whether on holding wrongdoers in contempt, approving subpoenas, and so on.

We saw this in attempts to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Director of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and FBI Director Christopher Wray accountable for ignoring congressional subpoenas.

Just this morning, the House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing in which Cheatle, Mayorkas, and Wray were invited to testify and share what they knew about how the almost-assassin was able to penetrate security, fire multiple shots at former President Trump, and kill an innocent rally-goer.

They didn’t bother to show up.

Now, the House has announced it will create a new “task force” to investigate the assassination attempt.

Reportedly the committee will be given subpoena power, which is a good first step.

But to ensure this task force isn’t a total waste of time, we need to demand they put serious lawmakers on the task force. We call on Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise to include Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), who we feel will be two of the best at getting to the truth.



The American people deserve more than business-as-usual partisan messaging hearings. They need lawmakers with the experience and determination to conduct a real investigation.

The vote to create the task force is scheduled for tomorrow, so time is short: Tell Speaker Johnson and Leader Scalise to appoint Thomas Massie and Jim Jordan to get to the truth about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

And make no mistake: this was a “failed” assassination only because the shot missed by millimeters.

The Secret Service failed to identify and find the shooter who shot Donald Trump before he drew blood. It was only because Trump happened to move that the shot didn’t kill him.

And remember, the Secret Service is expected to protect people from planned, coordinated assassinations by highly qualified personnel serving hostile foreign nations.

Yet somehow a 20-year-old was able to shoot the former president because the Secret Service wasn’t paying attention?

This stinks to high heaven, and you and I MUST demand a real investigation with real consequences. Starting with putting competent investigators on the panel.

Click here to tell House Speaker Mike Johnson and Leader Steve Scalise to put Thomas Massie and Jim Jordan on this task force, so we have a fighting chance of the committee accomplishing something.



Otherwise, we can expect more of the same old same old.

With only about 20 legislative days left before the election, the House is just about out of time. The August recess is almost here, and then they will all be out running for re-election.

So if they are going to have a “task force,” it better have some real investigators on it that will actually do the work.

Tell Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise to appoint Thomas Massie and Jim Jordan to the task force.

And then, please make your most generous contribution – to help Campaign for Liberty reach out to more patriots and mobilize more voters to demand real answers in Washington.

P.S. It really is unthinkable what America might be like right now had the would-be assassin’s bullet met its target.

A nation in total chaos. Riots in the streets. A future presidency many Americans would regard as illegitimate.

All of that was averted – by a miracle.

Did the Secret Service fail to prevent it . . . or allow it to happen?

The American people deserve answers, and we must demand them!

Contact Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise now and demand they put real investigators on the committee to investigate the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
