“Moments after his arrest, Sayoc’s social media accounts and personal details were suspended, stricken and taken off the web. His facebook page glitched and froze at exactly 11:24 MDT, even as independent journalists like yours truly scrolled furiously looking for shelf-life clues to gain better insight into the real makeup of the so-called, ‘MAGA Bomber.’ But not before I was able to capture this image (below) of the now infamous white panel van, without the Trump regalia so necessary to accrue the political hit points needed to paint Donald Trump as an inciter of hatred, violence and pain.

“Since image download and capture were made impossible by the deletion or suspension of Sayoc’s facebook account, the screenshot still shot of a video clearly shows the same white panel van on August 28, 2016, without the Trump stickers or vehicle wrap made famous by this week’s events.

“White. Plain. Mundane.

“A much more commonplace and nondescript getaway vehicle, if one were seriously undertaking a criminal plot without intentions of being apprehended. Keep in mind that in July and August of 2016, Cesar Sayoc’s facebook timeline shows him in almost constant attendance of Trump rallies and events, snapping selfies, taking videos and loading down his page with enough red meat “thou protesteth too much,” to choke James Woods. And yet, not a single Trump sticker is visible on the exterior of his trusty white van that witnesses say he parked in parking lots and slept in both at out of town events and otherwise.

“Which means of course, that Cesar must have considered it very good strategy to wait patiently, biding his time before making up that generic white van like a Donald Trump parade float immediately prior to undertaking a D.C. sniper version of a psychological terror campaign, leaving those vehicle wrap window coverings proudly and boldly in place for the entirety of said campaign, even after the alleged hoax bombs had been delivered and his alleged handiwork became the most intensely covered news item in the nation.
