Line of Fire

Back when I was a kid I read a book by Donald Hamilton called Line of Fire. Just so you know, the synopsis at good reads is wrong, sort of. The main character is hired to take a sniper shot at the governor who is in a tight race for reelection. Since the sniper is a high value entity to the people involved, they have a fall guy lined up.
Does any of this sound like a parallel to recent events? It gets better. The fall guy has a deep hatred for the Governor and would gladly have taken the shot, but is told he aint a good enough shot for the job.
Some how I don't think the patsy in our current drama has real hatred for the people who received packages supposedly sent by him.
Unlike the patsy in Hamilton's drama, this guy probably had more involvement. Then again, that poses a risk since the more he knows, the greater the chance he spills the beans on the people who cooked up this plot we are expected to believe was a lone wolf known wolf type attack.
In Hamilton's story, things went south when the Governor, who knew he was going to get shot at, suddenly moved and caught the bullet. Oops! Now the governor is out for blood.
In our drama, no one got hurt. The Wiley Coyote devices were only dangerous if dropped from high altitude. With out, of course, the bubble wrapped packaging. And they'd have to hit you square on the noggin.
Go read the book, Hamilton does a better job of setting up the story than the democrats ever could.
As of now, the only people who are buying this despicable pile of refried trash are ones who get their news, if you want to call it that, from CNN. Maybe in 2020 the donks will get some kid with an airsoft to take a shot at Liarwatha.
