Why did they not tell * about the DC incident?
Or why did they tell us they didn't tell *?

I can't make sense of it. How does not telling * DC was under possible attack benefit them politically? They could have easily said, "The Secret Service informed the President and he promptly returned to the Presidential limo to get more information". That would have made him look presidential. Instead they made it sound like he doesn't give a shit. Obviously he doesn't, but you know what I mean.

I tell you it makes no sense. Unless.. They're preparing him for a sword fall. :tinfoilhat:

1. Or Maybe
He was not mentally alert, or in other words in full control of his...

Well on second thought he never is.

2. Well, there are possible logical and interesting
Variations on this.

1). Suppose that whatever this "diversion" was, it was done quickly and without much planning for reasons we are not yet aware of. They may have not been able to notify him in time and could only do so after...

2). Suppose that whatever this "diversion" was, it was planned very well, then he need not have been notified, as he knew what was going on.

Really, however, it need not matter that he was not told. What does matter is how an entire city was forced into panic over a little plane that no one could find footage of until the end of the day and that little plane got within 3 miles of the White House...without footage, again, until later in the day.

That is what makes no sense. Chimp not knowing is just par for the course.

4. Maybe because he already knew it was happening before?
:eyes:

Or maybe because he was "biking" in MD somewhere and they didn't want him to fall down off his bicycle? Or maybe because they didn't want him going home to Mama crying because he's scared.....:cry:

6. Maybe...
...they were afraid that he'd ride that bike all the way to Nebraska, where he could hide in the corn. Terrorists never bomb corn!
