The helicopters depicted are part of HMX-1. Joint Base Andrews is where the presidential fleet is based. Someone saw a white top helo and took a shot at it. And hit it.

Some idiot was probably thinking they were shooting at the President.

It will only be a matter of time until they find the perp. Antifa fools can't help but boast about this on their twit machine.

Middleburg is too small of a town to have a shot shot spotter infrastructure. From the angle, location and time they have an approximate area to search.

It would be funny if the perp was caught by porch pirate security hardware. Cars nowadays have fingerprints like cell phones do, so whoever is pretty screwed unless they are sophisticated.

My suspects were right wing terrorists, liberals (not leftwing terrorists; there is no distinction anymore), and jihadis. If caught, the District Attourney might drop all charges if Soros helped them win their seat. Probably won't happen since this would be a federal case but one would have thought Judge Bernman Jackson would be an honest person too and that didn't happen.

On 2nd thought I give it 1 in 1,000 or 1 in a million that trump did it to back up his story. Wild Card. But it appears that he was right in that someone wants him dead.

PEOPLE ARE REALLY FUCKING FED UP THAT NO ONE HAS GONE TO JAIL FOR RUSSIA GATE. THEY ARE GIVING UP ON DURHAM. IT LOOKS LIKE A LINDSEY GRAHAM AFFAIR. OVER PROMISE AND DELIVER 0.

DURHAM CANNOT BRING CHARGES AFTER LABOR DAY.

I AM OF THE BELIEF IS BRING YOU GAME AS IT IS INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR PERFECTION. THE ELECTION WILL BE STOLEN BY MAIL IN VOTING BY THE DEMOCRATS. A PERFECT INDICTMENT BROUGHT AFTER ELECTION DAY WILL BE KILLED BY DEMOCRATS AFTER NOVEMBER 3RD.
