      The FBI identified Crooks by analyzing his DNA, officials told local CBS affiliate KDKA, as he did not have any identification on him.

      This is the part that makes me go wtf…

      How did they go from sampling his DNA and identifying him in that short amount? I don’t remember the exact time, but it seemed like it took about 5 hours.

      Edit: It’s been a long day and I guess my timeline is way off. I thought they identified the suspect last night, but apparently it was sometime early this morning. That makes the turn around time a lot less wtf.

        Trying to assassinate the presidential candidate definitely justifies checking the “expedite” box.

            He still technically holds the title of president. You never lose the title, just the powers. Carter’s still President Carter. JFK is still President Kennedy. Trump is, extremely unfortunately, still President Trump. None of them get powers, but the title is forever.

            Which, fair imo. It’s a position only 45 or 46 people out of millions of Americans have ever achieved (idk how they count the one dude who skipped a term). Keeping that title for life sounds fair to me.

              Which is normally fair. However after his never ending pushing of the election being stolen and claiming he was president still, I think it is necessary to clarify he is no-longer president.
