Fishy? Mandalay Bay Owner Insisted Jesus Campos Appear ONLY On Ellen

The whole Mandalay Bay security guard saga has been very, VERY odd.

As some of you may remember, Jesus Campos, the security guard who was first shot by the Mandalay Bay gunman, was supposed to appear on Fox News.

He totally bailed.

THEN no one could find him for DAYS.

All very, very weird.

Suddenly, he appeared on the Ellen show, where he didn’t answer any of the important questions we all had. But let’s be honest… did anyone really expect ELLEN to get to the bottom of this?

Turns out… that was the plan all along.

According to this:

Fearing Jesus Campos would ‘spill the beans’ about the timeline of the shooting if he was grilled by proper journalists, MGM, which owns the hotel where deranged gunman Stephen Paddock shot 600 people, insisted that security officer appear ONLY on only appear on Ellen, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

 

MGM is worried that families of the 58 people murdered as well as many of the 546 injured in the Mandalay Bay massacre will launch lawsuits potentially worth billions of dollars against the company, sources tell DailyMail.com.

And they thought Campos might not keep his story straight under the pressure of the TV lights and tough questioning.

 

That is why Campos, 25, appeared on a daytime chat show hosted by a fast-talking, dancing comedienne, rather than take questions from TV hardhitters such as Fox News’ Sean Hannity, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer or MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

 

‘MGM was behind the decision to call off all the interviews and did a deal with Ellen, knowing she would not play hardball on the timeline as long as she had the exclusive,’ a TV insider told DailyMail.com.

 

Campos had originally agreed to do five interviews, all on Thursday last week, but suddenly went missing, his union boss, who was helping set up the deal, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

 

David Hickey, president of the Michigan-based International Union, Security Police and Fire Professionals of America, would not confirm that MGM was behind the decision, but said the company certainly influenced Campos.

 

‘I was in a meeting with MGM’s upper management and they were definitely concerned about how tough someone like Hannity would be on him and they voiced their opinions,’ Hickey said.

 

He said all sides had agreed parameters for the interviews. ‘Everyone knew he wasn’t to talk about security protocols, staffing or training or give out names of employees.’

 

But he said the company — that, like most of Vegas’s casino industry, obsessively controls what employees are allowed to say to the media — was pressuring Campos not to give too much away.

 

‘I thought they were being negative, telling him that someone was going to be tough and how they were worried about his health — it wasn’t the thing he needed to hear four hours before the interviews were going to begin.’

 

Hickey said he met with the MGM executives at a location in Las Vegas where Campos was staying. They met in the living room but he wanted a word with some of the management team in private so they went into the bedroom.
When they returned, Campos had gone, and Hickey said he hasn’t seen or heard from him since.

 

The next thing he knew the security official had bailed on the five interviews. Then he learned on Monday that instead of appearing on a news show he would go on Ellen.

 

‘It certainly wasn’t my choice that he should appear on that circus,’ Hickey told DailyMail.com.

MGM has not return requests for comment.

“And they thought Campos might not keep his story straight.”

If you think this sounds fishy… it’s because it is.

There’s no need to remember a “story” if you’re telling the truth.

The lack of information has allowed conspiracy theories to spread like WILDFIRE. I don’t condone any of them, but I DO think there’s A LOT we don’t know.

What are they hiding?
