Just One Thing: There's the real charge
I mentioned in yesterday's blog (but didn't get to it on the air) that I'd be quite surprised if the two criminal charges mentioned regarding the assailant at the White House Correspondents Dinner were the only charges he faced. They simply weren't serious enough. Today, we got a serious charge in addition to those, and it's not impossible that more charges will be coming:
Suspect charged with attempted assassination of Trump at correspondents' dinner
I do wonder why the guy was captured unharmed. How many shots were fired at him that missed? These guys aren't supposed to miss, and I say that with full understanding how hard it is to hit a moving target.
