It was odd on that first night when Joe Biden announced the FBI would be investigating the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, only a few hours after the failed shooting. How did the people around Biden immediately know something went wrong?
Then things got even more sketchy when police reported the assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was spotted and photographed acting suspiciously 30 minutes before the attempted assassination. Unfortunately, they “lost track” of him.
To the commonsense observer, Crooks had to be wandering around the venue for quite a while. I mean, the scheduled start time for the speech was originally 5:00pm, yet President Trump didn’t get started until an hour later 6pm. Obviously, Thomas Crooks would have been doing something for an hour while he waited. What was it?
The sense of something sketchy increased exponentially with all the subsequent updates about the police backing down from the roof when the assassin pointed his gun at them. Especially when considering the lack of Secret Service removing President Trump from the known kill box, and the crowd yelling at law enforcement while Crooks was getting into position, a mere 400 feet from Trump.
Then we find out that multinational media conglomerate Blackrock, just coincidentally used Thomas Crooks in one of their PR ads. To top off the suspicious nature of the networks, Blackrock executives are literally in the White House guiding Joe Biden (see the Donilon family). However, even Suspicious Cat could not make up what comes next.
According to the latest CBS report, Thomas Crooks was spotted by a three-man sniper security detail.
Crooks was seen using a range finder to view the stage where President Trump was soon to arrive. Then Crooks climbed onto the building that was housing the security detail and it was from that position he fired nine shots at President Trump, taking off part of his right ear.
Folks, we are not suspicious enough about this entire set of events.
VIA CBS – There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday’s shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.
The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.com.
One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News.
Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.
By the time other officers came for backup, he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building, the officer said. (read more)
But wait,…. It gets worse….
When justifying why the Counter Snipers were not positioned on the roof, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said Secret Service officials planning security for Trump’s rally considered the warehouse 147 yards away from where Trump spoke to be a risky position for stationing an agent.
Apparently, the Secret Service agent in charged deemed the roof slope too much of a safety hazard to transverse. [LINK HERE]
The roof atop the security counter-snipers was deemed too sloped for safe positioning. The roof behind President Trump was not.
We are not being suspicious enough.
But wait,…. It gets worse….
With all these mounting questions now beginning to become too overwhelming to ignore, even for a few within the mainstream media, something is needed to change the narrative.
Something,…. Anything…. Here comes CNN:
VIA CNN – US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
There’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.
The existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence agency — and the enhanced security for Trump — raises new questions about the security lapses at the Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and how a 20-year-old man managed to access a nearby rooftop to fire shots that injured the former president. (read more)
Don’t look at Blackrock.
Don’t look at the White House.
Don’t look at the #1 beneficiary of the assassination plot, Joe Biden. Who is no longer seemingly under convention threat for removal.
Don’t look at the Secret Service, the FBI or any of the various security systems that “failed.”
Nope, now the five key stenographers who constructed the Trump-Russia collusion story, are saying, look at the Iranians.
White House roof not too slopey?
Or, how about this building….roof not too sloped?
How about this building? Roof not too slopey?

Those are men though. Trump had the Ponytail Brigade on overwatch. Standards vary, amirite?
The Rosie O Donnell ponytail brigade.
🙂
I don’t see any women there. Maybe it was too slopey for women.
“The video & photos of our Secret Service sniper team on that red barn are a bit misleading. It’s the angle of the video and photos. It’s actually a concave roof when you are level with it. Very similar to a bmx or skater half-pipe.”

Has anyone seen video of the “shooter’s” muzzle flashes? Were there as many as the quoted expended rounds (9?)?
related:
Who’s got the best video replay clip for BEST discerning the number and sound of the shots?
So we can get an accurate count and discern if some shots sound different and suggest multiple shooters
Treeper Harrison commented yesterday but I haven’t heard back from him as to what clip he’s listening to
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/15/alarming-update-trump-shooter-was-seen-on-roof-30-minutes-prior-to-shots-thomas-crooks-was-photographed-by-law-enforcement-with-picture-forwarded/comment-page-4/#comment-10927616
If multiple videos, minimum of 3 at different locations, along with the location of the person videotaping can be assembled, it would be possible to triangulate the location of the shooter(s), as Mike Adams did for the Las Vegas massacre.
thx, Joe
I’ve watched a couple of clips, they have varying degrees of what sounds like primary report and single reflection off some surface, difference in quality between first 3 shots and subsequent shots, etc
here’s the main source I’m referring to:
shooting starts at 8:55
https://www.youtube.com/live/rLLTmANI4rk?si=1oWNA1Zxl3mFEHvI&t=535
I think I hear 8 shots
1 … 2 … 3 … … 4.5.6.7 … 8
the first 3 in measured but steady succession
a moderate pause
the next 4 in rapid succession
a slight pause and then an 8th shot
I’d appreciate your evaluation of what you hear in this clip, and links to any clips you’re using
what do you make of the real high-pitched crack on the shots?
the shots seem to have a compound quality, a high crack is the initial sound and then a lower-pitched, more muffled reflection off a hard surface
I’m puzzled by the real high crack, I’m not sure I’d expect that from a gun 130 yards away … are the bullets supersonic and we’re hearing the shots break the sound barrier as they go by?
thanks
Sounds to me like 3 measured shots then cluster of spray and pray from same, then followed by a larger bore suppressed rifle.
Pretty much.
Except there’s enough difference in the second cluster to suggest that it was ASS* agents doing the spraying and praying.
(*Assassins’ Secret Service)
While listening Saturday live, I thought first group was fired towards the microphone, then cluster fire was from different angle. ( I thought that someone might be engaging the shooter – same caliber).
So yes, my first impressions were that there were 2 rifles involved at that point.
I didn’t recognize the suppressed shot live, as it was hard to listen at that point.
There are multiple characteristics to a shot’s sound, from the crack of the supersonic bullet flight to the actual sound emanating from the shot itself which will arrive later, being not supersonic.
Essentially all rifles except those firing subsonic rounds should have a compound quality.
These separate sounds can characterize the type of weapon and its distance from the observer.
Many sniper rounds are subsonic, so the round arrives first.
Subsonic, slower than sound, implies the sound arrives first.
But such are typically suppressed, and much more successfully than supersonic can be.
“I’m puzzled by the real high crack, I’m not sure I’d expect that from a gun 130 yards away … are the bullets supersonic and we’re hearing the shots break the sound barrier as they go by?”
Yes, the high crack is the shock wave created by the supersonic speed bullet, followed by the rifle retort which travels at the speed of sound.
The last shot doesn’t seem to have the rifle retort, so that one probably was shot from a rifle with a suppressor.
Here’s Mike Adams take. He has high precision, long range shooting experience.

Red Fox – source citation for your 9 shots? Got a link? Thx
Nim – It’s quoted (from CBS) by Sundance in this article (above). So you can probably find it at CBS News’ site.
Sundance, everyone is being distracted on purpose. All of you go back and watch as many videos from outside sources as you can, you’ll start to see it.
I’m not going to guide anyone, YOU need to see it and then ask the right logical questions. Put yourselves in a position to do something nefarious to help guide your best probabilities on the outcome.
hint… look for conflicting information within the same articles, watch reactions of snipers and why they reacted that way.
Sorry, I’m trying really hard not to guide.
Be direct, that is what this site is all about.
If you saw something, just say it! No one has time for stupid games!
Thanks for being so cryptic. I’ll ignore all your posts from now on.
.
I switched to Fox right after the shooting as CSPAN cut away.
One of the first interviews that the Fox reporter had was with a younger guy who said he was in the area of the guy who was killed and that it was the ‘uniformed’ people shooting . . .
Debra, do you remember when the twin towers fell? There was a younger gentleman who was asked by a reporter of what he thought happened. I’m going to paraphrase but keep in mind, this was before anyone knew who and what truly happened.
’When the terrorist flew flew the planes into the buildings, the fuel burned so hot that it melted the steel and that’s why the buildings collapsed’.
He did not stutter, hesitate and said within 30 seconds all without any knowledge of why they fell.
That’s why I’m asking people to put their logical caps on.
I could go on and on for many past events that have happened. I focus more on why I’m being told these things before I get a chance to think for myself.
That interview was of the best explanations of what happened before anyone knew what happened. The random guy on the street: calm, articulate, knowledgeable. It was a great interview. Iconic.
There is a longtime treeper who rarely posts anymore bur am quite sure still reads here. He spent countless hours, probably weeks, analyzing the events of J6 and then one day posted a brilliant analysis of how it was planned and why. So brilliant that SD turned it into an article with all due credit to the author. It was astonishing journalism, the sort of thing that would have won international prizes when such things still mattered. Dozens if not hundreds of readers forwarded that article to our legislators.
I think that treeper risked a great deal to make his analysis public, but he shared willingly. I’ll just leave it at that.
Interesting. Link?
Link please
I agree, the BEST!
Counter Sniper reaction – reacted like a round just passed his own head..IMO
(even crouched sniper cowered lower/hugged the roof even more)
JMO, YMMV
Spot on! Now, ask yourself why?
Was the assassin that good that he could pull off his target and right back onto it?
I love rhetorical questions.
Such dramatic effect.
Maybe a round did pass over his head.
A warning from another hidden sniper not to take out their roof shooter yet.
They wouldn’t have wanted to vocalize that over airwaves that could have been recorded.
You must not know about police reports and inventory.
You’re issued a weapon and ammo. It’s documented.
“Why don’t you have all ten rounds of the ammo you were issued? You’ll have to answer for this expenditure if it isn’t in your report that you discharged your weapon.”
I put Christmas lights on my house and climb a steeper roof.
Yes. And I doubt you are USSS.
Is that you, Clark Griswold?
What…what? For once it wasn’t the Russians? Oh that’s right, President Trump is Putin’s stooge…he wouldn’t want Trump taken out. Gotcha.
Putin can breathe a sigh of relief. There IS something he did not do….
its easier for them to be stupid ..than be caught being part of the allowing the crime to happen….
Went up the air conditioning duct to avoid detection…really? I wonder how he got past the fan??Funny, I see a ladder up against a wall positioned between the two buildings. Seems pretty easy to me. Next up, the Warren Commission #2.
We don’t know whose ladder that is. There’s a police cruiser right there next to it, it could be theirs, to climb up and check for Crooks’ pulse. We don’t even know when this picture was taken.
He BOUGHT A LADDER at Home Depot that morning
I read that to and he bought ammo.
OMG! I heard that too. FIFTY whole rounds! s/o
Headed up by Lizzy.
Biden’s policies tripled the cost of his evil.
“air conditioning duct”
someone’s watching too many Mission Impossible films
I saw a diagram showing his route going up onto an air conditioning duct and then up a ladder on the roof. That would match with reports that bystanders saw him walk between buildings and then up onto the roof.
I think that tall ladder in the pic is on the other side of where the shooter actuallly climbed up.
I thought I saw Gutter pipes running from roof down to the ground. One guy said he bear crawled up the building…could have climbed the gutter pipes.
Without anyone inside hearing him? Isn’t it an aluminum building?
The “bear crawling” was the kid moving up to the peak of the roof on his belly, it’s not how he got up there in the first place, the witness only saw him on the roof . . .
The answer is obvious. We are being lied to, yet again, just like all the lies which have come before regarding the 81 million “votes”, the installation of FJB, the Russia hoax, and so on and so on and so on.
This was clearly an inside job. Someone connected with FJB ordered the hit, someone found and trained the wind-up toy (e.g. SSRI-addled suggestible 20 year old) and multiple persons within Biden’s US Secret Service looked the other way. The excuses are getting more ridiculous with each passing day, meanwhile even Helen Keller could have seen the vulnerability of leaving an elevated rooftop less than 140 yards away unguarded.
It was supposed to result with President Trump’s head being blown off on live national television. Only God’s protection which moved his head out of the way by a few millimeters at the last second saved the US from that. Which would have certainly kicked off a hot civil war. No question about that.
These leftist evil communists hate America and will stop at absolutely nothing to destroy this country. May God continue to protect President Trump from all of the various weasels, criminals, evil liberal haters and communists who want to destroy him.
Amen.
Well stated
Well said and true.
Someone posted the comment from the occupant of the White House where he said something to the effect that President Trump is going to get a big surprise or something like that. Anyone remember that comment?
“… “Not when you’re running against a pathological liar. Not when he hadn’t been challenged in a way that he’s about to be challenged…” ~ JRBiden 7.5.2024
In a veiled threat, Biden tonight claimed the only reason Trump is ahead in the polls is because he has not been challenged “in a way he’s about to be challenged.” cryptically implied something ominous is about to befall his GOP nemesis.”
~ Paul Sperry
Thats it. Thanks.
I think you’re thinking of this article, someone earlier had also asked, so I had looked in my bookmarks:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/veiled-threat-joe-biden-claims-only-reason-trump/
If it isn’t, my apologies.
That is it. Thank you.
Minor disagreement; they would have rounded up all of Trump’s supporters as national security threats. That’s how the communists do it.
Comer needs to subpoena the COMMS 2-3 weeks leading up to the event and also during the event.
Comer can’t do anything without an honest FBI/DOJ.
“Ongoing investigation”
comer wants to have a freakin ZOOM call
We must be laughing stock of the rest of the world. We have a dementia patient as PINO. And we can’t or don’t protect a former POTUS.
Biden and his people are not only the gang who couldn’t shoot straight, but they are also the gang who can’t keep their stories straight!

These lame-ass excuses are what you get when wholly unaccomplished people are put in positions of power and authority. They have no clue what they are doing and think everyone will buy the BS they are spewing just because they hold such positions.
The Peter Principle in action.
Evil 😈 intentionality disguised 🥸 in rags of willful incompetence 😈 🥸
Well…did you lock down, wear a mask, social distance, take the clot shot? If not, good for you. But we have a nation of sheeple who willingly complied with the lie and the assault upon their God given liberties. Have they recovered their senses yet?
Just announced: Trump/Vance rally in Michigan on Saturday. President Trump is the original WOLVERINE!! They try to kill him, and in less than a week, he’s giving them the double middle finger without missing a beat!
THIS is what a leader looks like. I just hope he’s got a new, all-male security detail. (And I say that as a woman!)
Women who use reasoning know what they’re capable of physically and see no need to pretend other wise and why should they.
DEI Another Day!!
Biden, Joe Biden – 007 (IQ estimate)
070
Dumb-Seven-Zero!
I think they feel they have an edge attempting this crap in Democrat controlled states. Shapiro could have and Whitmer will be willing to help with the mop up. Someone should be checking Whitmer’s comms now that this has been announced.
Yeah, as a woman, I don’t trust the women running the show in our country either. Worse than Karens, more like Cruella Devilles.
Get used to this… DEI assassination plots and attempts? It is the Rainbow Aged 21st Century and there are New Bosses in town!
Clayton Morris on Redacted is tearing this to pieces. Lots of video and new points of view. They’re streaming live right now on YouTube and Rumble.
Any chance the snipers in the building were there to kill Trump and Lee Harvey Crooks was just a patsy suckered into getting up on the roof to be killed by other snipers after the fact? Just wondering…
At this point…it’s not far-fetched to think that. Just when you think the government has lost all respect, they find ways to dig the hole deeper.
Wouldn’t be the first time…
Yep, we are reaching the point of actually looking at the evidence, and forming our own theories of what happened – instead of being spoon-fed lies by the SS, FBI, and media.
Thats my theory too Gary. Crooks was just another unfortunate weird unliked white male gamer , thats the accepted guilty party for “lone wolf” shootings.
Possible.
Except the Assassins’ Secret Service probably shoots better than Crooks.
Need names of the Derps involved, for their names are Mudd.
This may have already been addressed, as I haven’t yet read all of the comments.
How ‘normal’ was it for both Jill Biden & Kamala Harris to hold events in Pennsylvania on the same day as President Trump’s rally?
Same state; same time — spreading Secret Service’s resources in 3 different directions within Pennsylvania.
Recognize also that Jill Biden & Kimberly Cheatle are friends.
There are too many coincidences & anomalies for all of this to be mistakes and/or incompetence.
Plausible deniability is a cornerstone of the satanic left. Drawing off resources from Butler gives them that… or so they thought. 3 days in and nearly everything they have said has been exposed as a lie.
Evil 😈 intentionality disguised 🥸 in rags of willful incompetence 😈 🥸
Exactly
.
Also, where are the pictures of either of these events to show why the experienced and professional agents were necessary to handle security issues?
Cheatle was Dick Cheneys USSS person for 4 years. Clearly she was loyal to him. Now who has been humiliated by PDJT like Liz Cheney? Who would be more than happy to see him eliminated? I would be checking the Cheney phones.
When the reasons get lamer and stories keep changing from those that are supposedly in the know, you know it complete BS.
In their minds, a win-win:
Another reason to start a Forever War.
UK Daily Mail doesn’t shy away from a headline:
Physically unfit, under-qualified agents with a diversity-obsessed boss chosen by Dr Jill Biden! After Secret Service botched the Trump shooting, ANDREW NEIL exposes why they failed
I believe the media will use the AA hires as the excuse to cover-up that the hit was planned by the government. Those inept women provide plausible deniability.
That’s why they put the diversity hires there. The need fall guys or in this case fall girls.
Evil 😈 intentionality disguised 🥸 in rags of willful incompetence 😈 🥸

LOL on the too sloopey for my very fit manly men of the SS. Good grief I am 72 and still step the steep slopes of my house. She is a complete and utter DEI hire and will always be. Well that is the interloper’s administrator in a nut shell is it not.

Someone points out two places in the Old Testament where blood on the right ear was used as a sign of consecration by God.
Interesting.
wow! more signs from God
Any confirmation on whether or not it’s true that the SS sniper was arrested later that day for disobeying orders?? I can’t find anything
I dont know but I saw the post on Reddit from the Police sniper we all saw on the roof who said he had the cniper in his sights for 3 minutes and was ordered NOT to engage by the SS.
I am trying to find that again.
Don’t remember offhand where to see it, but it was very early a highly commented subject here, complete with the purported Reddit screenshot.
Recall that Sundance’s article after shooting at rally on Saturday, July 13, has coverage of a witness being asked by a BBC reporter about what he saw. He described the shooter as “Bear Crawling” up the side of the building with the gun.
Maybe he couldn’t believe his eyes that a ladder was propped against the building.
With all the new info (possible lies) coming out I hope we as a CTH team can put together our top 25 must ask questions that a few thousand of us can test/email to every Republican on the Comer committee so we can better ensure that ask the right Fing questions.
Cmon Bogey, you’ve been around long enough to know that “The Committee” is part of the operation! They will have hearings and, in the end, write a sternly written letter that acknowledges “mistakes were made”.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Too many characteristic similarities between Lee Harvey Oswald and Thomas Matthew Crooks! Too many sources of awful stink of evil! Had no effect on MSM toning down their hate-filled rhetoric and indoctrination! Please, keep digging, keep interviewing, keep reporting anything relevant, keep connecting those dots!
After protesting Trump by not broadcasting his rallies, the major networks finally capitulated and live broadcast this particular rally.
To be fair, which they never are, they had tons of equipment and crews in Milwaukee to cover the GOP convention.
I guess blaming Russia for this was a bridge too far for even them.
So that’s progress… the BS narrative engineers chose a new boogeyman.
Darn it! I’m trying my best to bite my tongue.
If you want to be hidden and creep into position, what do you not do?
If you provide a economic commercial with the “Assassin” in it, what do you do?
If you immediately have reporters question classmates and those classmates describe you as, a loner, bullied, quiet, etc. why?
If you back a police officer “Who backs of the shooter because his safety came first” why?
If you show body cam footage of a dead assassin, before any protocol investigation occur, Why.
If a police sniper is told to stand down but disappears with 48 hrs, Why?
If you are attacking the SS failures, why?
keep asking, you’ll see it.
Stop the silly tapdancing. Just spit it out. If you have a theory – articulate it. We are searching for the truth so don’t obfuscate.
Okay I will, Philman_36 above, was SPOT on when he thought both police snipers acted like a shot flew past their heads. Where was Corey sitting, in what bleachers and where was he shot?
To answer your question, and the line of sight, was it the Water tower or the Trees?
Do you think a 20 yr. Old with no expedience, is good enough to stay on target then pull off target by slowing up the police sniper and get right back on target? Hell no!
The pro hit Corey first. The “assassin was the patsy.
What do you think of this? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eZqsvV8-2yM
it was planned by our own government
Dplmont from earlier this morning posted:
Professor Maher from Montana State Univ is an audio forensics expert who stated that based on the sounds of the shots, they came from 330 to 390 yards away. But the shooter was only 130 yards away. Further, while he said the first three shots came from the same firearm there may have been another firearm used on other shots based on audio forensics. Other than a few Montana news articles, this story is not in the press. Strange and something to check out further.
The article I read indicates he states the distance of 330-390 as feet NOT yards. that is in line with 130 yards.

The Biden Administration gets zero benefit of the doubt.
They wanted this to happen.
Whether they helped arrange it, well, that is the question.
STORY OF THE DECADE
1. $10 MILLION REWARD TO A WHISTLEBLOWER WHO COUGHS UP THE DETAILS.
2. AND MEDAL OF HONOR.
3. The NSA should have ALL COMMS for all of the people on-site. Right?
Texts
Calls
GPS
Who the assassin communicated with
So, instead of Russia, Russia, Russia, it’s now Iran, Iran, Iran? And exactly when did “the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks” that happen? Could of fooled me on 13JUL24. The USSS Director should already be in jail. This was a set up and she is complicit.
So what you’re telling me is, “US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.”
Think about that for a minute, or 2.
So based on THAT INFORMATION, THIS was the $hitShow we received??? It actually makes it all much worse. They failed to keep a pimple faced Biden donor from killing 1, wounding 2 others, and shooting Biden’s #1 rival in the skull because of crap security BUT they were advised of a threat from IRAN!?!?!
Evil 😈 intentionality disguised 🥸 in rags of willful incompetence 😈 🥸
This is SO BAD…such a brutal example of government incompetence that I have to wonder if they were really trying to assassinate the next POTUS wouldn’t they have done something more subtle? They used a 20 yr old loser who wasn’t allowed in the gun club because he was a bad shot? All I know for sure is the head of the SS needs to be FIRED immediately!
Not that I’d put it past the DS…not for a second do I doubt they’d do this.
Think about this……they don’t have to. They have ALL of the MSM, most of Academia & Hollyweird whipping people up. All they have to do is make the conditions right and voila! They (think) they have plausible deniability.
Part of me still believes that this was a coordinated attempt. But we’ll never know because geez, you know, we can’t get into the dude’s phone. Yeah……….right.
I just read this about Crooks movements the day before the rally:
So he entered the rally carrying a 5-foot ladder and a rifle
We have the Constitutional authouity to empanel a Grand Jury and investigate this ourselves. United States v. Williams (1992), https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/504/36 – Sections 18 and 19
Yeah, it will be a tough slog, at this late date, after politicians have successfully memory-holed the Natural Right to hold our governmant accountable, to make this happen.
But European fought from at least the dark ages to hold governments accountable, after our Founding Fathers incvluded it as an inalienable right, and the 1992 Rehnquist Supreme Court affarmed it,it just seems a shame to just leave it lying on the ground when for decades our governmant has gotten away with atrocity after atrocity and are never held accountable.
This almost explains the WHOLE thing except for why the counter-snipers were INSIDE.
When the public called out the assassin on the building roof, the cops and secret service probably assumed that the man with a gun was one of THEIR people. Again, explaining why the counter sniper paused and looked perplexed.
So why were the people inside the building and not where they were supposed to be.
The whole thing now smells a LOT more like unprofessional DEI hires not knowing what to do or how to do it.
But I’m not convinced that this assassin didn’t have help exploiting this situation where most of the people thought he was supposed to be there. It’s very unlikely he just randomly selected that spot and expected to get away with it. (But he was 20 years old and these days, 20 is the new 15!)
answer this question: how did the shooter know to go to that building, you know, the one
without snipers on the roof, but in the building?
does anyone think the sniper walked around the whole area looking up trying to find the one
building with an unattended roof? Walking around with a ladder?
FAILURE occurred at every level from top to bottom.
This is truly scary. That there is soooooo much incompetence being exposed.
If there is ANY validity to the Iranian threat, their hit squads, with years of experience in complex assaults and ambushes are laughing their asses off right now and licking their chops.
OTOH, if I’m Biden, I’m watching my 6. THIS may be their last resort in getting him out of the race.
This level of incompetence is by design. Come on…
Sundance, Sorry for the way to quick 2nd comment. I am sitting here wondering when did we pass from the right to defend oneself into the crazy world of one has to wait until one is mostly dead before initiating a defensive strategy? It seems logical to me that the SS over watch teams would have rules of engagement that allow for a proactive defensive shot against a person toting a rifle and hiding whenever and where ever a person under their over watch is being hunted. There is no time for chain of command approval for taking a proactive defensive shot as the results will always be the same as it was for President Trump and most probably a much worse outcome.
I’m just waiting for the day they come out and plainly say “don’t believe yer lyin eyes.”
The roof is too “slopey” or too “risky” for a “professional” sniper? Quite interesting as it was not too “risky” or “slopey” for their assassin.
Does anyone have any suspicion to spear? I’ve used up all of mine.
Multiple massive and basic mistakes of this magnitude made by so many people, all at once, is highly unlikely. The simplest explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is that it was a set up.
Bongino has good sources in the USSS and he reports that Trumps detail was lighter than normal at Butler. Is this true? If so, who made this decision and why? Bomgino reports that many of Trumps experienced detail were swapped out for rookies. Is this true? If so, Once again who made this decision and why? Where did the resources pulled from protecting Trump get reallocated to?
“Ongoing investigation” and will never see the light of day.

Reportedly both Jill and Que-mala had PA events that very day and apparently their crowds are so overwhelming that they needed the more experienced and professional detail for themselves . . .
Can you imagine the reaction of one of our great military leaders like General George S Patton (“Old Blood & Guts”)? His nickname says it all.
Time to ditch the “Ponytail Brigade”
The problem wasn’t the roof slope, it was the roof did not have wheelchair access for the disabled secret service agents.
Now it makes perfect sense.
/sarcasm alert
Absolutely fantastic article !!!
The slope of any commercial building roof is usually 1/4” of rise/fall for every foot of run. Slopes=SS horseshit
1) The roof slope beneath the shooter is almost flat. The roof below the Secret Service snipers is MUCH STEEPER!!;-(
2) The shooter selected by chance the building housing a SS detail????!!!!
3) Why did the SS detail INSIDE the building used by the SHOOTER NOT hear the shooter moving across the roof? Rain falling on a metal roof makes a racket!!
4) Take another look at the “protective bubble around Trump’s stage. The bubble omits EVERY roof top within a sure kill shot of Mr. Trump, except the 2 roofs occupied by the SS snipers.
It depends how far left the observer is leaning.
The infamous Pac-Man defense parameter. Unbeatable in 2d. Not so effective in 3d.
When you cede the high ground to the assassin you’re well below 3d.
If we ever get a trial to investigate murderers, it needs to be removed from DC and held in Butler PA where a father and husband died. No more DC show trials.
