Was FBI assistant director caught on Trump assassination video?!

Was FBI Assistant Director Janeen DiGuiseppi caught on video giving the shooter instructions on how to assassinate Donald Trump?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : FBI Assistant Director Caught On Trump Assassination Video!

Some people are sharing photos and screenshots of a woman whom they claim or suggest is FBI Assistant Director Janeen DiGuiseppi giving the shooter instructions on how to assassinate Donald Trump!

Dom Lucre : 🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: The woman in this video behind Donald Trump, where many viewers accused her of ‘giving the shooter instructions’ has allegedly been identified as FBI assistant director Janeen Diguiseppi, this is still a developing story,

Sassafrass84 : Disclaimer: This may or may not be her. Looks pretty sus. There are no coincidences. Meet the assistant director of the FBI. She was the one in the crowd video and smirking. This was an inside job. Can we all agree on that?!

Russian Market : Another coincidence 🚨🚨🚨 here’s Janeen Diguiseppi, assistant director director to the FBI, sitting directly behind Trump at the Butler rally when he was hit! She never budged when he went to the ground but took pics. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Truth : FBI Assistant Director Was Not In Trump Assassination Video!

This is yet another example of fake news surrounding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Woman Is Not FBI Assistant Director Janeen DiGuiseppi

Let me start by simply pointing out that the woman in the video screenshot is not FBI Assistant Director Janeen DiGuiseppi.

The FBI called those claims “categorically false“, and said that the woman was “not AD DiGuiseppi“, noting that she was not even in Pennsylvania at the time of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

The allegations circulating on social media about an FBI executive and the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania are categorically false. To be clear, the person depicted is not her and she did not attend the rally.

The FBI also called these falsehoods targeting its personnel “reprehensible and irresponsible“, noting that they “often lead to threats against them and their families“.

To date, attempts to identify the woman who wore a cap saying “Jesus is my saviour, Trump is my president” have failed, although some are claiming that she is Lori Carney from Pennsylvania, who is not an FBI agent.

But even without identifying her, it is obvious that she looks nothing like FBI Assistant Director Janeen DiGuiseppi. They have different jawlines and ear shapes.

Unsurprisingly, none of those making these baseless claims actually provided any evidence that the woman is FBI Assistant Director Janeen DiGuiseppi.

Fact #2 : Evidence Show Thomas Crooks Acted Alone

On Sunday, 14 July 2024, the FBI gave a press briefing on the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump. It is still searching for a motive for the attack but said that the shooter – 20 year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, appears to have acted alone as a lone wolf.

At that press briefing, Kevin Rojek, an FBI special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh field office, said:

At present, we have not identified an ideology associated with the subject. At this time, the information that we have indicates that the shooter acted alone and that there are currently no public safety concerns.

Sometime before the shooting, Crooks search the Internet for both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, as well as the dates and locations of the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Sources also said that Crooks left a message on the Steam gaming platform, in which he allegedly declared, “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds.”

The day before the shooting, the counsel for the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club confirmed that Thomas Matthew Crooks practised on its rifle range. On the day of the assassination attempt, Crooks asked to borrow his father’s AR-15 style rifle, which was legally purchased 11 years ago in 2013, telling him that he planned to go to the shooting range.

Crooks then went to a local gun shop to buy 50 rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition, before stopping at a Home Depot to buy a 5-foot ladder (which was not found at the scene). He then drove to the Trump rally, and parked about a third of a mile away at a gas station.

For at least an hour before the shooting, Crooks was seen walking around the rally area. At no point in time was he seen interacting with a co-conspirator. When the FBI cracked his phone, it did not reveal his motives or plans. His phone certainly did not show that he had any co-conspirators.

In short – the evidence currently show that Thomas Matthew Crooks acted alone, and there was no conspiracy.

Fact #3 : This Is Just Fake News About Donald Trump

This is yet another example of fake news created about Donald Trump, like these other examples:

As campaigning for the 2024 US Presidential elections heats up, you can expect more fake news about Donald Trump to appear.

Was Donald Trump shot in chest + saved by bulletproof vest?!

Leave a reply

Was Donald Trump saved by his bulletproof vest after getting shot in the chest?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Donald Trump Was Shot In Chest + Saved By Bulletproof Vest!

Right after news broke that an assassination attempt was made on Donald Trump, some people immediately claimed or suggested he was saved by a bulletproof vest after getting shot in the chest!

US Civil Defense News : 🚨🚨🚨Trump just started wearing a bulletproof vest as advised by his security detail. It saved his life!! He took a shot to the chest!!🔥🔥🔥

Trumps Nephew : Trump just started wearing a bulletproof vest as advised by his security detail. It saved his life!! He took a shot to the chest!!

Kailash Wagh : Fortunately #DonaldTrump just started wearing a bulletproof vest as advised by his security detail. It saved his #DonaldJTrump life!! He took a shot to the chest?

Nioh Berg : One bullet hit Trump. It appears he was wearing a bulletproof vest. America is so lucky to have TRUMP 🇺🇸

War Watch : It appears that Trump was shot in the chest, as the bullet seem to have pierced his suit; he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Michael Arizanti : I woke up to the shocking news of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Reports indicate that two people were killed, including the shooter. Bullets hit Trump in the ear and chest, but fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest, which likely saved his life.

Show less

Truth : Donald Trump Was Not Shot In Chest + Saved By Bulletproof Vest!

This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Donald Trump Was Only Shot In Right Ear

Let me start by pointing out that Donald Trump was only shot once, and the bullet only grazed his right ear. He was never shot in the chest.

Unsurprisingly, people who claimed that Donald Trump was shot in the chest, and saved by a bulletproof vest, never provided any evidence.

In fact, Donald Trump himself confirmed that he was only hit in the “upper part of [his] right ear”, when he posted on Truth Social that:

I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.

So why would people continue to claim that Donald Trump was shot in the chest, but saved by a bulletproof vest???

Fact #2 : Viral Photo Does Not Show Bullet Hole

The viral photo may have been edited. It appears considerably more blurred than the original photo, which makes it look like there is a black hole in Donald Trump’s jacket.

But if you blow up the viral photo and increase the brightness, or bring out the shadows, you can see that the “hole” is not part of Donald Trump’s jacket, but appears to be from a different jacket with a darker hue of blue.

If you compare it to the original photo, you can immediately see that that was not a hole at all, but the shadow of a fold in the jacket of a female officer who was protecting Donald Trump from the front with her body.

The viral photo may or may not have been edited, but what is certain is that – it does not show a bullet hole in Donald Trump’s jacket.

Fact #3 : This Is Just Fake News About Donald Trump

This is ultimately just another example of fake news created about Donald Trump, like these other examples:

As campaigning for the 2024 US Presidential elections heats up, you can expect more fake news about Donald Trump to appear.

Did Biden Cancel Event Because Of Medical Emergency?!

Leave a reply

Did US President Joe Biden cancel a Sunday event in Philadelphia after suffering a medical emergency on Air Force One?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Biden Cancelled Event Because Of Medical Emergency!

Some people are claiming that US President Joe Biden cancelled a Sunday event in Philadelphia after suffering a medical emergency on Air Force One!

Monica Crowley : 🚨 BREAKING: Biden is reportedly having a medical emergency aboard Air Force One

Laura Loomer : Joe Biden was scheduled to have a campaign event in Pennsylvania this Sunday.

After he had a medical emergency on Air Force One today, his events in Philadelphia were CANCELED.

Before the cancellation, Secret Service reportedly reserved a room inside the ER Ahead of Biden’s visit to Pennsylvania.

Why would Secret Service be reserving rooms in the ER ahead of Biden’s visit to Pennsylvania on Sunday (which has now been canceled).

It’s very obvious that Secret Service @SecretService was preparing for a #BidenMedicalEmergency like the one Joe Biden had on Air Force One today.

Laura Loomer : Why is the Biden campaign abruptly canceling events today all across the country?

Because as I reported, Joe Biden experienced a MEDICAL EMERGENCY on Air Force One today.

They know it’s true too. They are now racing to cover it up.

They even canceled Biden’s scheduled events for this Sunday in Philadelphia.

The American people deserve answers about today’s #BidenMedicalEmergency!

Show less

Truth : Biden Did Not Cancel Event Because Of Medical Emergency!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating online, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : President Biden Did Not Suffer Any Medical Emergency

Let me start by pointing out that President Joe Biden did not experience a medical emergency on Air Force One. In fact, there is actual video footage of Biden leaving Air Force One hours after those claims went viral!

As the video below shows (courtesy of ALX), President Biden was seen disembarking from Air Force One in Wilmington, Delaware at around 7:30 PM, after a campaign event in Madison.

Despite his poor debate performance against Donald Trump, and claims that he has trouble walking, Biden appears to confidently strut down the stairs by himself, even pausing momentarily to point at someone.

When Biden arrived on the tarmac, he saluted an officer and took time to speak with him. He then answered a shouted question from a journalist who asked if he planned to watch “the interview tonight”..

It is obvious from the video that President Joe Biden was fit and well when he left Air Force One.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/President-Joe-Biden-arriving-in-Delaware-5-July-2024.mp4?_=1

Fact #2 : White House Called Rumours “100% False”

The White House also confirmed that the rumours of President Joe Biden suffering a medical emergency on Air Force One were “100% false“.

White House says rumors about a medical emergency on Air Force One are “100% false.” Biden was seen coming off the plane without issues and arrived at his Delaware home at 7:50 pm

Will all those who made those baseless claims that Joe Biden suffered a medical emergency and/or died on Air Force One apologise now?

Fact #3 : Biden Cancelled Event To Avoid Crossing Picket Line

The truth is – President Joe Biden made the decision to cancel his Philadelphia event on Sunday, the day before he flew on Air Force One on 6 July 2024.

Biden was originally scheduled to speech at the annual conference of the National Education Association (NEA) in Philadelphia on Sunday, 7 July.

However, the NEA’s staff union – the National Education Association Staff Organization, announced a strike on Friday, 5 July, setting up picket lines around the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia for a planned 3-day strike.

The very same day, Biden cancelled his speech. His campaign told the Associated Press that the president is a “fierce supporter of unions, and he won’t cross a picket line“.

The union’s 3-day picket of the event also effectively ended the weeklong convention, causing the cancellation of the last three days, including President Biden’s appearance.

Fact #4 : Biden Will Still Travel To Pennsylvania

Finally, the Biden campaign said on 5 July that he still plans to travel to Pennsylvania over the weekend, even though he already cancelled his speech at the NEA convention.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Fake News About Joe Biden

This is ultimately just another example of fake news created about Joe Biden, like these other examples:

As campaigning for the 2024 US Presidential elections heats up, you can expect more fake news about Joe Biden to appear.

John Albert Laylo Was Mistakenly Shot, Not Killed By Antifa!

Leave a reply

Philippine government attorney, John Albert Laylo, was mistakenly shot by a gunman, not assassinated by Antifa!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2022-06-22 : Added updates on the Philly police investigation.
Originally posted @ 2022-06-21

Claim : Antifa Suspected Of Assassinating John Albert Laylo!

Within hours of news breaking that Philippine government attorney, John Albert Laylo, was shot and killed in Philadelphia, Vancouver Times posted a story claiming that Philadelphia police are warning the public that an Antifa cell may be responsible.

Police in Philadelphia are warning the public that an Antifa cell may be responsible for assassinating a high-level government attorney. John Albert Laylo was gunned down while he was en route to the airport, travelling with his mother in an Uber. It is unclear why Antifa would choose to murder an elected official from another country, but police have speculated it was due to his relationship with Duterte.

Antifa has committed acts of murder before. In 2020, a Trump supporter was shot dead by a members of the notorious far-left terrorist group.

Philippine Consul General Elmer Cato stated that the Philippines government would help his Laylo’s widow transport his body back to the country.

The mainstream media and big tech want to hide the truth. Beat them at their own game by sharing this article!

Truth : Antifa Not Suspected Of Assassinating John Albert Laylo!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created to generate page views and money from gullible people.

Fact #1 : Vancouver Times Is A Fake News Website

Vancouver Times is a “content aggregator” (copy and paste) website that is known for creating fake news to generate more page views and money.

To look legitimate, they copy and paste news from legitimate news organisations. To drive traffic, they create fake news, sometimes masked as “satire”.

To give themselves a veneer of deniability, they label themselves as a “satire website” in their About Us section.

Vancouver Times is the most trusted source for satire on the West Coast. We write satirical stories about issues that affect conservatives.

Here are some of their fake news that we debunked :

Fact #2 : Philly Police Cannot Identify Suspect Yet

The Philly police could not have suspected an Antifa cell as being responsible for John Albert Laylo’s murder, when they did not identify the suspect at that time.

According to Philly police, John Albert Laylo and his mother were travelling in an Uber ride from University City to the Philadelphia International Airport at around 4:10 AM on Saturday, 18 June 2022, when they stopped at a red light.

The shooter who was driving a black Cadillac, pulled up behind their Uber and fired several rounds into their vehicle, before pulling alongside the driver’s side and firing more shots.

Police officers who responded to the shooting transported Laylo to the Penn Presbyterian Hospital, where he was placed on life support. He subsequently died from a single gunshot wound to his head at 10:33 AM on Sunday, 19 June 2022.

On 21 June 2022, police were able to identify the gunman through surveillance video footage, but did not reveal his identity.

Fact #3 : Philly Police Suspects Road Rage, Not Antifa

The Philly police did not warn people that an Antifa cell may be responsible for John Albert Laylo’s murder. Vancouver Times made up that false claim to trigger right wing supporters, in a bid to go viral.

On 21 June 2021, they told CBS News that the gunman mistook the Nissan car Laylo was riding in, for another dark-coloured Nissan.

The surveillance video they obtained confirmed that “the shooting was targeted, but of mistaken identity“.

The video showed the shooter’s black Cadillac was in close proximity to another Nissan (that was not Laylo’s Uber ride) blocks before reaching the intersection of 38 and Spruce.

Philly police believe that the shooter mistook Laylo’s Uber ride (which was also a dark-coloured Nissan) for that earlier car, and fired as many as 15 shots into it, in what is possibly a case of road rage.

Fact #4 : No Reason For Antifa To Kill A Filipino Lawyer

Vancouver Times (intentionally) framed Antifa for the Laylo’s murder because “Antifa” is a trigger word for right wing activists and supporters who would likely share their fake story, and help it go viral.

Antifa is an anti-fascist and anti-racist movement in the United States, that rose up against alt-right and far right extremist groups, like neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

It has no interest in Philippine politics, much less a Philippine government lawyer. There is simply no reason for Antifa activists to murder John Albert Laylo.

Fact #5 : No Evidence John Albert Laylo Is Married

Vancouver Times appears to have (falsely) claimed that Laylo is married.

There is no evidence he is married. The only family members mentioned in media reports were his mother, Leah Bustamante Laylo, and his sister, Althea Ann Laylo.

My investigations of their social media also showed that his father is Trebla Laylo, and his other sister is Ann Lorraine Taylor Kamatoy.

Fact #5 : There Is No Such Thing As A Publication Ban

Vancouver Times likes to use the “media blackout” claim, to explain why you can’t find any reputable media outlet reporting on Antifa being responsible for John Albert Laylo’s murder.

That’s utter and complete bullshit. No one – not a judge, not even the US government – can control the worldwide media, or prevent anyone from writing about such a momentous arrest.

You can also be sure that even if the mainstream media in the US refused to run the story, it would have been reported by the Filipino media and right-wing websites.

Yet, not a single press / right-wing outlet published their account of this incredible story? That’s because IT NEVER HAPPENED…

Fact #6 : Mainstream Media + Big Tech Would Have Loved The Hype

Vancouver Times is gaslighting you about how mainstream media and Big Tech want to hide the “truth” about Antifa assassinating John Albert Laylo.

They would all loved such shocking news, because it would have driven tons of traffic and engagement to their websites / platforms.

In fact, that was precisely why Vancouver Times created the fake story – to drive traffic, for the ad money.

Everything that Vancouver Times publishes should be regarded as FAKE NEWS, until proven otherwise.
