@lookner:
Police allege Miller illegally possessed a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. They say that they were detained without incident.
There is some confusion over Miller’s alleged motives, but Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco claims the man presented false VIP passes and press credentials to officers, which led to a search of his car.
🚨 #breaking:Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco simply said he “doesn’t remember,” saying they “probably foiled a third assassination attempt.”
But he later says he “probably had deputies ‘prevent a third assassination attempt'” based on what he knows.

@nicksorter:
Bianco also said Riverside Press-Enterprise He believes his guys thwarted the former president’s third assassination attempt … though he only addressed those comments at a press conference moments ago.
Now, Bianco says his guys are well prepared … and he feels the preparation stopped any kind of shooting. The United States Attorney’s Office said they were aware of the arrest, but that it did not affect their defenses or Trump’s security. Their investigation is ongoing.
of course Thomas Matthew Crooks was the first to try to kill former President Trump… cutting off the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania back in July in front of Secret Service snipers took him down.
Then, just last month, a man named Ryan Wesley Ruth as if stuck barrel Trump was found through a golf course fence… but the Secret Service was able to prevent the attack.
Vem didn’t get as close as these two allegedly did… and her alleged motives are still unknown.
