The armed suspect who was arrested on gun prices outdoors Donald Trump‘s Coachella rally in California was completely happy to speak to the sheriff’s deputies who busted him, however he wasn’t so chatty with federal brokers … as a result of they made him wait too lengthy for an interview … and now the feds do not have a motive.
