How would that [Trump going down for making some false statements to law enforcement] happen?
What follows is wild unfounded speculation that 99.9% didn't happen, but is technically a barely plausible hypothetical answer to your question.___ If the ear injury wasn’t caused by a bullet, then the miss wasn’t as near as we thought it was. If it missed by a lot despite being at [relatively] short range [for the type of gun used], then maybe it was on purpose. If the shooter missed on purpose, maybe it was because he was hired by Trump for a false-flag operation in order to allow Trump to claim martyrdom, or even a casus belli to purge his enemies. If this sort of absurd conspiracy were what actually happened, maybe Trump would lie to the FBI to try to cover it up, get caught, and get charged with more crimes.
