    Right. This was an entirely non-issue from the start. The FBI said “we’re not sure if he was actually hit by a bullet or shrapnel” becuase they were investigating and hadn’t confirmed anything. But that distinction does not really matter in the first place. He was shot at, he was struck and injured, a bystander died, and the shooter was killed. All of the rest of it are just details, particulars that don’t change any of those facts. The FBI was speaking plainly about the facts at the time and Trump threw a hissy fit about it for no reason. All of that is par for the course and, frankly, boring. Then the media repeated, amplified and generated more outrage over a huge nothing-burger that made for a catchy headline. Find some real news to write about, Jesus.
