Shane Smith believes the official explanation of the Secret Service failure in Butler is insufficient and suspicious.

“I just don't believe that that kid wandered over got his gun climbed up on the roof snuck around a little bit and took some shots and it was all on its own I just don't buy it”

The FBI's lack of transparency and apparent stonewalling regarding the Thomas Crooks case warrants deep suspicion from the public and members of Congress.

“When you have the FBI hiding information and refusing to answer those basic questions, of course, conspiracy theories are going to emerge in that because that's how trust and faith by the American public is lost in these institutions.”

The US government and the FBI are failing to provide transparent answers regarding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which naturally fuels public suspicion and conspiracy theories.

“When you have the FBI hiding information and refusing to answer those basic questions, of course, conspiracy theories are going to emerge in that because that's how trust and faith by the American public is lost in these institutions.”

It is unlikely this was a coordinated intelligence operation because the execution was too amateur and sloppy.

“if it was a deep State operation or any kind of government agency that was in that was doing this he said if they failed on the first attempt they will not try again they'll take their ball and go home”

It is implausible that the Trump campaign orchestrated the shooting for theatrics because of the extreme risk of failure or death.

“I mean there's just nobody in their right mind that would hire a sniper to fire you know at their head it's just Insanity”
