An old Chicago Outfit gangster term was termed “dropping a dime” on someone, meaning removing their protection so a crime family from another city could take out a competitor to Al Capone in Chicago.
Now, it seems like the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, “dropped a dime” on the former President Donald Trump in Butler County, Pennsylvania on July 13th, 2024, removing his protective guards as he took the stage.
Garland was directly responsible for removing the SWAT team that had overwatch on the roof over where Thomas Crooks fired on Trump.
With sixteen Homeland Security Investigators being sent to Butler and Secret Service agents being held back Washington, it now seems like there was foreknowledge of Trump Assassination in Butler.
Does sending sixteen Homeland Security Investigations to a Trump Rally show foreknowledge of Assassination?
The fact there appears to be no recoil from the first shot on the TMZ video tape of Crooks on the roof that was released on the day of the Trump Assassination, and it also appears like Crooks is much closer to the edge of the building than where he died is disconcerting.
With this number of Department of Homeland Security of Investigators, you would have thought one of them would have remembered to bring a drone instead of just Thomas Crooks, the shooter.
With this number of Department of Homeland Security Investigators, you would have thought one of them would have remembered to bring a phone with a camera instead of just Thomas Crooks, the shooter.
With this number of Department of Homeland Security Investigators, you would have thought one of them would have remembered to bring a GoPro camera instead of just Ryan Routh, the shooter in the second Trump Assassination.
Don’t Homeland Security Investigators need video evidence like every other investigative law enforcement agency? Didn’t any HSI Investigators think of putting up a StickUp GoPro camera anywhere around the perimeter or making sure the security cameras were working at American Glass Research?
Stick-up cams were reduced to $49 when the Butler Trump Assassination occurred, and they were available at the same Home Depot where the five-foot ladder was purchased for practice exercise on July 8th.
Or wouldn’t an Attorney General subpoena the law enforcement in the second story windows that can clearly see the shooter on the roof?
Attorney Generals Need To Quit Acting Like Mob Bosses
We have covered how Chicago Mob Fixer Sidney Korshak dropped a lot of dimes in Hollywood to help the Chicago Outfit take over Tinsel Town with the help of FBI Informant T-10, Ronald Reagan.
But this kind of “mob hit” being ordered by the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, is a bold, new depravity.
See “Echoes Of Laurel Canyon - How the CIA and the Chicago Mob Took Hollywood.”

We expect mobsters like Al Capone and their fixers like Sidney Korshak to '“drop dimes” (arrange for someone’s death) on their criminal opponents in trade union wars and the like.
We have seen how the Justice Department has been already weaponized against Trump with the sham indictments everywhere you turn, but this “dime drop” by Garland is a new low. It is Willful Negligence and Dereliction of Duty that almost got a President killed.
We don’t expect the nation’s Top Cop to be “dropping dimes” though. But we now know that’s exactly what Attorney General Merrick Garland did in the first attempted Assassination of Donald Trump.
I go into the mob history of “dime dropping” here because other Trump Assassination investigators have gone to great lengths to undermine my credibility in this area, even suggesting I went into Google Patents and patent records to suggest I falsified my father’s invention to end “dime dropping” for everyone on earth!
I had a lot of exposure to the Cleveland Teamsters when I was a kid. My dad went to old Guadalcanal World War II buddies who worked for the Teamsters in 1965 to get money for transistors to build the first mockups and working models for the cordless phone. His “partner,” Jack Shaffer, was arrested for jimmying pay phone boxes for dimes and served felony time. Jack worked for Cleveland Teamsters boss, Jackie Presser.

Jack Shaffer was also a racetrack tout at Cleveland’s Thistledown Rack Track, where I spent all too many afternoons with Jack as a kid while my Dad was working on the cordless phone invention.

My Dad got his $200 bucks for parts and spent money to support our family while he worked on the invention, and he knew it was Cleveland Teamster money. Jack Shaffer wanted to use my dad’s invention to place last-second, illegal bets at racetracks with bookies who hadn’t seen the race results yet.

This is how “dimes are really dropped in the crime world.
Teamster boss Jackie Presser was dating the sister of my Dad’s “partner”, Jack Shaffer, and Presser took a personal interest in coming by our house to see how the cordless phone invention was coming along. Every once in a while, Presser would bring by an “investor” Hollywood star like Douglas Fairbanks Jr., which my older sister remembers very vividly. Yes, Hollywood. Hollywood and Ronald Reagan SuperAgent Lew Wasserman, who got his start booking acts in Cleveland for Teamster mobster hangouts, used his actors as straw buyers for mob fronts and speculative investments.
My father enjoyed the swashbuckling movies of “Mutiny on the Bounty” of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.’s pirate movies, and supposedly there was some banter or a joke of my father’s invention being a “State Secret” like the Douglas Fairbanks movie.
I was far too young to remember what was said, but I do remember my sister being goo goo eyed for about a week.
My dad’s invention would put the expression “dropping dimes” into the lexicon of forgotten gangster lingo since no one would need a paid phone again after wide adoption of cell phones. Perhaps his invention was a “State Secret” at the time, given the heavyweight nature of Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Jackie Presser, and the Cleveland Teamsters coming to our home in Euclid, Ohio.
I never thought, almost sixty years later, that I would be using that expression to describe the Attorney General of the United States removing the guard from a former President of the United States, but that’s exactly what Attorney General Merrick Garland did in Butler, Pennsylvania.
How do we know that? The direct, recorded testimony of Sheriff Tony Guy of Butler, Pennsylvania is how we know, who told me directly and a Twitter audience of thousands that his Beaver County Deputies, who abandoned their posts when Trump took the stage in Butler, PA, “reported to the DOJ.”
The Top Cop in the United States at the DOJ is Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The buck stops at Merrick Garland’s desk at the DOJ, pure, plain, and simple.
Is it anyone wonder, a week later, Attorney General Merrick Garland hasn’t charged the second Trump assassin with Attempted Assassination? After dropping a dime on Trump in Butler, PA, it would be bad form for Merrick Garland to rat out a co-conspirator in the second Trump Assassination attempt.
I am at my Substack limit, so I will have to continue this discussion in this post after the first portion of my article is sent. Thank you all for your support.
Summary -
Summary of the Article:
In the article titled "AG Garland Dropped The Dime On Trump," author George Webb alleges that Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Homeland Security had foreknowledge of assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Webb suggests that by sending sixteen Homeland Security Investigators to the event and holding back Secret Service agents in Washington, Garland effectively removed protective measures for Trump, likening this action to the gangster term "dropping a dime," which means setting someone up for harm by removing their protection.
Webb draws parallels between historical organized crime tactics and current political events, referencing figures like Al Capone, Sidney Korshak, and Ronald Reagan. He recounts personal anecdotes involving his father's invention of the cordless phone and interactions with Cleveland Teamsters and mob figures like Jackie Presser and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Webb implies that such underhanded methods are being employed against Trump, accusing Garland of acting like a mob boss by orchestrating or enabling assassination attempts.
He questions the lack of video evidence and proper security measures during the supposed assassination attempts, mentioning individuals like Thomas Crooks and Ryan Routh as alleged shooters. Webb criticizes the Justice Department for what he perceives as weaponization against Trump and expresses concern over the absence of charges against the purported second assassin.
