What you mean?
Look, just because something *could* have happened and it would make for a more interesting story doesn't mean it's the more plausible option.
The world isn't always interesting.
So why make up crazy theories when in all likelihood the reality is that it's just far more simple and boring?
Just saying. Not ruling anything out, but it's not a grand project that requires any external actors to happen.
Because there is a lot of power/money at stake ... one can not be naive. It only takes one handler, not so expensive, but well paid maybe $100K for the job. With millions in donor money floating around ...
In that case, why not just use those resources to make the bombs, wipe them clean, and deliver them without leaving any loose ends?
Van guy would be a huge liability.
No, because you need a known Rep crazy to pin it on.
The guy fits all the stereotypes ... perfect pawn...
What if he rats them out though? There's no way of ruling out that possibility.
Sure, but it will just be viewed as a stunt to get out of the charges ... he cops a plea deal and take a less sentence.
Seems like an extremely unnecessary risk. I wouldn't take it if I had the resources and motivation to do this sort of thing.
No real risk, the only risk is if the handler back stabs you. That's why it is an expensive job, but some "Political Consulting" group.
Eh, it's possible. I just don't see it being reasonable personally.
And this group is probable 3rd hand, so if caught plausible deniability ...
If you search the internet, there are far more complicated schemes financed. This one is not that difficult actually.
Lone guy living in a van, befriend him, alcohol, money, women at the strip bar ... invite him back to your man cave for beers and joke about the evil Dems and making bombs .... have the material laid out etc ... he is drunk, his hands are all over it .... then send it out.
Of course it's not difficult, that's not my issue. I'm just saying there's no special skills required for any of this, and a reasonably unhinged person could easily pull it off, without any need for other actors to be involved at any point.
Except maybe some guy cutting PVC pipes up for him at the hardware store.
"I didn't do it, I swear, and I have nobody else to point to" would be much better.
Probably cheaper too.
The handler blackmails, so he is implicated ...
Says, just kidding .... but this is part of the trap ... he double crosses and sends it out.
I meant what you said about getting the guy drunk enough to pass out and just get whatever prints / DNA stuff you need.
Yes another possibility ...
So we shall see when the question him to see how and where the bombs were made ...
My money is on him just being a crazy hobo.
We may never know the details. If I am him, I would claim I was duped, but have no evidence of this.
Police eager to convict, will get him to plead guilty, and for sure the evidence will point to guilty.
He may get a lesser sentence this way...
Whether true or not ... police won't want to perpetuate conspiracy theories .... zip it up neatly. Part of the plea deal will be to shut up about any conspiracy nonsense.
At least years later, when it won't matter.
If this guy is really a Trump nut, and he or his lawyer is smart, float the "I was duped conspiracy" story and make MSM go nuts ... true or not, think of the effect ... and possible better plea deal to admit in fact the story is a hoax.
He was too drunk to remember anything ... he is a looser after all....
@kontroll that is a neat usb powered soldiering iron. A great find. My old field soldering is running on lighter gas.
@4AM_critter 🐉 Probably way more reliable though. As I recall this thing had a compromise that impacted its longevity in order to make it even work in the first place.
you know, if I was an absolutely crazy trump nut that wanted to set all this up as a conspiracy theory right before the election, I'd probably do the same as this guy is doing, except have hidden in some safety deposit box somewhere evidence that the democrats paid me to do it, and 'accidentally' reveal it a few days after I was caught.
The ends justify the means, much?
