I’m just catching up on some events that I have missed. The first press conference by the U.S. Secret Service about the Trump assassination attempt was alarming. This is the first time the media had to question USSS since the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Fox News host Jesse Watters does a good job summarizing the event and encapsulating the largest takeaways from the briefing.
.
The full press briefing is below.

If you are supposed to protect a President, the first requirement should be to WANT to protect a President.

EASY on the Pennsylvania State Police There – JD !
Colonel Christopher Paris, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police MIGHT GET Upset…
IF He DECIDES to ” SHOW UP for Work ” ( MIGHT BE – TOO HOT )

You can’t protect someone when you hate everything they stand for.
This should scare the hell out of ya…
this corrupt government wants Prez Trump dead…………………spin it anyway you like ..make 1000 excuses…..this was an inside job…..\
and but for the grace of God it would have worked..
Triple Bingo! The vegetable at the top had better have a head roll!
Thank you Jesus for protecting President Trump. No other explanation.
And please, Jesus, continue to protect President Trump, his family, and his staff. These malevolent evildoers will not stop. To paraphrase President Lincoln…. We need this man, he fights!
Amen
✝️
AMEN!
Amen

Dear God in Heaven, as our Father, we your children are not aware of Your reasons but we see clearly the blessings bestowed on PDJT as we face these perilous political times. We thank You for Your Protections. Let us not be swayed by naysayers. Let us be strong in our faith. Let our appreciation know no bounds. Please continue to bless and keep safe, those who seek righteous change in America. Thy will be done, Amen….
It does, bjorkdream.
Imagine what Melania lives with every single day…and Barron who is extraordinarily close to his father, and the rest of his family.
And President Trump…
Yet on he goes, putting himself in the firing line of a depraved and murderous Deep State.
For this country.
For us!!
It was the grace of Almighty God which denied the evil its victory.
And the grace of Almighty God which has allowed us to know it was planned and deliberate.
He has exposed every single one of the assassins.
They are out in the open now, having crawled out of the dark sewers where they have remained virtually unseen and unaccountable for decades. And these psychopaths will know it, too.
God, we beseech Thee, keep your Angels near our President. Our hope lies with You Who stands guard over him, your warrior in this existential fight, this spiritual war, for the soul of our nation. Amen
amen
Amén Amén 🙏🏽
Until we know who crook’s “Fbi handler” is we won’t be able to connect the dots….
But dead men tell no tales!
Which is why its important to scan for deaths on that day/week that may be connected.
Amen

IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
And “greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends”
Would any of the deep state do that for any forgotten man or woman?
We know the answer, sis.
Keep the prayers going!
💕🙏🇺🇲🙏🦁 👑🙏💕
But, God… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And we must respond in thanksgiving, to the glory of God and His miracles.
This too is something we must never ever forget!
I think we all know what happened here…Once you steal a Presidential election in plain sight, nothing is off the table.
Assuming they haven’t stolen the table as well.
once you STEAL something, anything, and
NO ONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
your next act is predictable.
God Bless America
🙏🇺🇲
Now the media is propping up Harris, not because they think she can win but to make the ‘steal’ less obvious!
And no one says anything, there was no accountability – Judges refused to take the cases of election fraud. The Senate and House did not stand up for our right to contest the election. All of DC and the Legislative branches put our people into the DC Gulag without a whimper of sorrow. Our leadership has abdicated their responsibilities.
They believe there is no one to stop them from destroying our country.And they continue in there dark deeds.
Excellent summary.
or what of millions of premeditated murrders by poison injection?
at this moment in time, boundaries are nonexistent
And, what are they putting into our food? I wonder every single day if I’m actually getting beef when I buy hamburger. We can’t trust our government to make sure that everything is on the up and up when they are not on the up and up!
Try to shop as locally as you can, and if possible, raise at least some of your own food.
Get to know the farmers and ranchers in your area and buy from them directly.
“With respect to whether or not this was the first time, it was. It was the first time Secret Service counter snipers were deployed to support the former president’s details.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/interesting-day-trump-was-nearly-assassinated-was-first/
Yes, of course, liquidating the patsy was the most critical part of this operation. He had to die, on the designated spot, and the required snipers were deployed to ensure he would die. That was the critical enabler for the investigators to proclaim “case closed”. Absent that, the investigation would be forced to investigate, and we know where that will lead.
so where is the actual shooter assassin?
Either dead or living in Costa Rica with a new identity.
Antifa boy yearick?
He put his suit and tie back on and probably investigated the scene afterwards…they’re that smug!
Did anyone ever ID the suit & tie guy from supposedly ATF who showed up on rooftop & wanted the pictures of the dead assassin?
Whoever the hell it was that paid for this operation/assassination wanted proof that the kid was dead so that he could not give any information that might identify the payor in the transaction.
The 2nd shooter may be on the SS payroll, or even on state or local payroll if they were desperate enough to risk a security leak.
Largest probability is a well-trained free agent, who would know how to exploit the unsecured area the SS provided him, and then make a safe egress. He would likely have made the first 3 shots, all were controlled fire, and just sound “professional”. The first was 1″ away from murdering Trump.
The next 5 are different sounding, as in one or more of location/elevation/ammunition/firearm is different. That was likely Crooks. The sequence sounds quick and panicky, not a pro.
The last 1-2 were likely the counter snipers ending Crooks.
There are a few things in that theory that are demonstrably wrong, but Im not going to point them out because it will only lead to discussions that detract from the most important thing, which is, that the SS was in on it.
We need to focus on exposing the complicit SS and then drill down into the details of exactly how it was done. Doing it the other way is bass ackwards and counter-productive in my opinion.
Go ahead and point out the wrong. That’s the whole point here. If it’s wrong we should know, and exclude those theories. You ain’t hurting my feelings. Been doing forensic engineering for years, theories must be tested. It’s the process.
I appreciate your open-mindedness.
First of all, I take that back, there is nothing in that statement that is “demonstrably wrong”. I misspoke.
But to state as a matter of fact “The 2nd shooter…” is just premature. There is no proof of a second shooter. There is evidence, which is debatable, but it is only evidence.
Here is the thing. The sound of shots 1-8 could very well all be the same gun. No audio analysis proves that it couldnt be. And here’s why.
This is based on the most recent, closest video that gets the several minutes before the shot until several minutes after the shot.
For shots 1-3, you hear “pow” then echo, “pow” then echo, “pow” then echo.
For shots 4-7 you just hear pow, pow, pow, pow.
But for shot 8, you hear “pow” then echo, just like the first 3.
The reason why is because for shots 4-7, the echo of one shot is occurring at the same time as the “pow” of the next shot. So on the 8th and final shot by “A SHOOTER”, you can hear the entire shot and echo, and shot 8 sounds just like shots 1-3.
The only difference is the rate of fire, which obviously any AR-15 is capable of doing.
Finally, about “The last 1-2 shots were probably of the counter snipers ending Crooks”. It is known that the 9th shot was taken by local LE on the ground, from behind the north set of bleachers who took a shot at the shooter on the roof, and caused him to pause and move, according to eyewitness reports. And it is several seconds later when the South SS counter sniper team hits Crooks with shot #10.
I am currently of the opinion that all 8 shots were taken by Crooks on that roof. That of course could change based on new evidence. I believe Crooks was groomed MKUltra style via video game chat rooms and pushed to do this by someone on the inside who had knowledge of the event, and knowledge of what the SS would do and not do. He was an easy target because he was in SSRIs by his “therapist” parents, dad had guns, etc…and likely one of hundreds that our govt is grooming.
I will also say I agree with what you mentioned in another post in that IF there was a second shooter, he was on the roof of the building about 100 yds directly behind Crooks from a vantage point where he can see Crooks, Trump, and everything needed, and also has better concealment, and an ability to escape unseen.
I put the second shooter there because we know who was in the second floor windows of the building behind and to Crooks’ right, and we know the inside of the building that Crooks was on the roof of, all the windows are closed during the shooting, as seen in the latest video. Shooting from a tree would be stupid because they move, leaves/branches, and no way to get stable for a shot or any way to escape unseen. The water tower thing was always a red herring because of several reason, it is the most obvious place that everyone would be looking, no concealment, no way to get down quickly for escape and the shot angle wouldnt line up with anything that was hit by all the missed shots, and the dark thing on top was just the shadowed side of the round thing on top.
But the fact is there just is no smoking gun at this point to prove one way or the other, that there was 1 or two shooters, and constantly searching for proof of 2 shooters is pointless, at this point, because there being only one shooter DOESNT NECESSARILY MEAN the SS WAS NOT COMPLICIT.
So we run the risk of going through everything, and coming to the conclusion that there was only one shooter, and then we are left to say oh I guess the SS wasnt involved, and THAT WOULD BE FALSE LOGIC.
So focus on what we can prove, while keeping an eye on any new info that comes out as far as shots or shells or whatever. The more time goes by, the more the SS talks, the more guilty they look, so keep pressing them from every angle, and somebody will talk, and we wont have to figure it out on our own.
Thats my opinion. If Ive missed something, point it out because like you said, thats the point here.
But I will say again, all this talk is kind of putting the cart before the horse, and I think it can be more fruitful if we stay focused on the big fish so to speak, and then maybe the small fish will appear and lead us right to them.
I think the sound of shot 8 is unlike shots 1-3, even though it’s the last of that series. But you’re right, #8 would have a different signature than 4-7. But the initial sound reports of the 2 sequences are not like. That points to a changed “something”, which supports a 2nd shooter theory, and others. It can’t be excluded by sound evidence right now.
I’d like to get more audio recordings on that grid, so we can firmly locate all 8 shots. This is possible. It could exclude a 2nd shooter, but for now we have to carry that theory.
You’re right, it’s all about the SS. I knew it was an SS conspiracy the moment they said a guy had a rifle 130 yards from Trump’s head. That had to be facilitated, with +/- 95% certainty, imo.
Dawgs, I agree with your analysis, but one element is not mentioned, and may contribute to the different audio signature of shots 4 thru 8. You mention coincidence of the sound waves (report and supersonic crack) arriving at podium microphone at same time or approx same time. An add’l consideration is an AGC circuit in the pro audio system. Automatic Gain Control mutes the amplifier when a louder than average noise is received by the mic. To suppress air shocks from normal speech as an example, or if mic is bumped. The supersonic crack would trigger AGC muting for a fraction of a second, and this may attenuate the rifle report from preceding shot during the adrenalin induced rapid sequence of shots 4 thru 8.
agree 100%, dawg. that is the core issue.
the uncontested facts about the butler rally:
*first time ever presence of U.S. SS counter snipers
*first time in a loooong time presence of major news outlets
*Blab-en’s “everything changes after Sunday” comment
*comms “down”, no shared radio frequency with local PD
*2 other SS detail events intentionally scheduled for the same day
*substitution of actual SS agents with other government
employees of questionable personal protection training
*no agents on the ground made available for questioning.
*rampant speculation being allowed/encouraged,
as any and all other information is not forthcoming from those
WHO CAN PROVIDE IT.
the preponderance of evidence keeps piling up in one direction.
And don’t forget Senator Manchin’s remark similar to Biden’s about “waiting till the weekend.” Seems like everybody in Congress and the WH knew about this beforehand. The truth is gonna set a lot of people “free”….or to GITMO on a one-way ticket.
Shot 9 may have been an ESU sniper who missed.
In the LOCALS sniper nest next to Crooks.
WHO puts a counter-sniper next INSIDE a building?
Easy, the real snipers.
Name one “official” source of assassination information that doesn’t have a long history of bald face lies when the “narrative” requires. Until a credible source verifies it, I have doubt that Thomas Crooks was the shooter and that he is dead.
.
He climbed down from his tree around midnight, took off his ghillie suit, and walked away to his car.
.
Plausible theory, but might leave him blind to the patsy Crooks’ approach to a shooting position, the critical element in this op. The patsy must die on that spot. Period.
Plus a pro would be wary of a perch with possible windblown tree obstruction. Not optimal.
That leaves us with a shooter behind Crooks, overlooking the entire setup. After Crooks is visually confirmed to be set, the pro opens fire on Trump.
.
Yah, but I’m told that snipers in harnesses learn to get okay with trees. Done a lot. They wouldn’t want to be in plain sight.
It certainly would help a lot to have the bullet forensics, wouldn’t it.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting to hear who was the hero SS sniper (or was it) who took down Crooks with one shot…
.
have you noticed the apparent failure to complete a forensic level trajectory line back to point of origin? I know what “they say “, the 1st bullet struck Trump’s ear, then the subject in the stands, ( possibly on to and striking hydraulic line ??). the approximate return lines indicate Crook’s position on the roof – if you take their word for it and the distant photo analysis. But elevations are questionable, as are the shot audio signatures, all of which they have been making open unsubstantiated excuses for.
Yes, there is a dearth of 3d analysis of this. My grandson could likely do it, if we gave him the shot data, which isn’t being made available. It’s not hard at all to model this. Even if I can’t, my grandson can.
Try here.

Check his follow-up posts
No, that guy makes far too many assumptions not in evidence. He has no comprehensive shot data. He’s on ignore now.
.
Yes. I have hate, so angry with the horsesht.
.
Yes elevation is needed, rising or falling or fairly ground parallel. No one has provided the information? Lines of estimated trajectory are 2 dimensional.
If he was taking shots up until the moment he was killed, why wasn’t Crooks deadified body at the peak of the roof, where he would have HAD to have been to take downward-angle shots at PDJT?!
His body appeared to be 5’ or 6’ or so away / down from the roof peak, with no trail of blood and brains from the peak to his body.
In a statement passed on from the sniper that killed him, said that his target profile on Crooks was from around his exposed eye from just above the roof peak to the top of his head.
A remarkable shot at 400’ with a 10 mph crosswind, IF that in fact is what happened.
Something is VERY wrong, and we know why it stinks.
Yes, this supports why the SS and Local LE did not have conjoined communication network.
Word is, the chick running the Pittsburgh FO had to rush those snipers out there at the last minute too.
Very strange.
.
The planners had to have them there this time to be credited with taking down the Crooks patsy.
.
Seems like no one wanted to assassinate President Trump until the Secret Service decided to deploy a counter sniper team, which, after the alleged shooter took his shots, conveniently was able to kill the alleged shooter before he could be arrested and questioned.
How odd…
Makes you wanna go Hmmmm or maybe huh?
Bingo Val!
Weird.
And they has no way of knowing he was on the roof as he was below their line of sight…
Odd? Maybe. Suspicious as H-E-double hockey sticks? Well duh. Only an absolute MORON doesn’t believe that one.
It’s been over two weeks and so far the only one disciplined is Cheatle. As the person at the top, she did the right thing when she resigned. Now for her next in line superior. He needs to do likewise but I have no confidence that he will do the right thing or even consider doing the right thing. Once scum, always scum!!
My favorite part was when the show and tell pictures showed the naked eye view of the shooter on the roof.
“Look at what our perspective was!”
Ignoring the fact that the two counter snipers both had powerful scopes mounted on their rifles.
Living my best life, grilling steaks on the deck surveying my garden!
His opening line says it all … “since Donald Trump was nearly executed on live TV…”
Then his closing endorsing President Trump likely earned him a woodshed trip for sure.
Jesse Waters may be in some trouble for this one.
If Jesse takes the same door out that Lou Dobbs and Tucker Carlson ended up having to use…
…my respect for him will increase about a hundredfold.
Then Greg Gutfeld ought to take his comedy to podcast land if he’s truly at all in favor of saving the USA.
As is Kamala Harris, the Secret Service is a fraud wrapped in a hundred fabrications inside a thousand lies.
After all, HER detail obviously knew all about the “pipe bombs” on 1/5 and 1/6. They KNEW there was no danger. So what was the big deal about them being there? How deeply involved in the Fedsurrection is the USSS?????
I don’t know about y’all, but my sense of the situation is that a 5-gallon can of whoop-a$$ is about to open up when President Trump takes office once again.
Probably needs a 55 gallon drum.
Lots of behinds need a whoopin’.
Nobody asked what the “mission” was. I think their mission was to get Trump killed, that’s why they labeled it as a failure.
Is that Statement about not having had Counter Snipers a dog whistle for the one of the progressive zombies to try again?
Speaking of dog whistles, when Rowe said in that first hearing that he has “lost sleep over this being his Texas School Book Depository” or something to that effect, I was like, wait what did he just say. It was when he and Josh Hawley were going at it. I then thought to myself, is he saying Oswald killed Kennedy? And if so, can he be that stupid? Or is it more likely that he knows Oswald didnt and he is sending a message to the Deep State, saying “Hey look, I know whats up and I am here to cover this up.”
Exactly
The USSS is bad but remember, it is the LOCALS that muffed the protection.
The local counter-sniper nest was in the building next to the one Crooks used and had direct views, from 50 feet away of the roof Crooks used. The locals ABANDONED their post to go to ground to find Crooks. Why where they in a building anyway and not on a roof?
There was a cop assigned to stand on the very roof Crooks used, but the cop ABANDONED his post ’cause it was too hot?
A local cop went onto the roof while Crooks was there and then jumped off. Did he shoot his gun in the air to create a scene? No, he ran away like a coward.
A local counter-sniper was going off duty and saw Crooks casing the place. Did he do ANYTHING? No, he ran to his car like a coward and went home.
If any one of them gave a crap about the mission they could have killed Crooks and been a national HERO.
Seriously? !
Small town local LEO are experienced with this duty?
Seriously?
You are delusional..but that is your right.
Did you listen to the entire article ?
If you did you are obviously a total fool.
If you didn’t you are simply a President Trump hater.
If memory serves me, I believe they weren’t allowed on the roof because it was a sloped roof?
(They (locals) moved to the 2nd floor because it was “too hot” [Bongino])
I believe the woman who was head of the SS at the time was the one who gave the asynine sloped roof excuse, no?
I wonder who, or maybe which government agency, was the source of these stories, and what might have been their motivation in spreading them?
In situations like this, it is often advantageous to be the first to get a story out there, before the actual facts are known.
I will reserve judgement on the local law enforcement until more, and corroborated, info is available.
Things are not always as they first appear.
I believe the local team has given several interviews in which they have made it very plain that they were there as support staff only and were not in on any of the planning and indeed, had almost no communication with the Secret Service prior to the rally beginning.
Not sure who you are or what your motivation is to try to push an already discredited narrative but no one here is taking the bait!
Sorry Val-my response was supposed to be to Frank, not you!
It’s okay.
Have a blessed day!
excellent point, Val, seriously reasoned thinking…and i believe 100% correct.
good reminder to us all.
Rather than pile on I’ll simply suggest that you go back and do some actual research into the claims you made then repost with your corrections. What you’ve recited is a series of outrageous claims that have been disproven.
Show us those so-called “outrageous claims”.
Most of what Frank posted is, in point of fact, true.
You might think about going back three weeks or so and listening to Bongino’s podcasts. He has the sources and he has the receipts about the locals.
That’s my recommendation–take it or leave it. I’m predicting what you’ll end up doing.
Okay, let’s play:
“A local cop went onto the roof while Crooks was there and then jumped off. Did he shoot his gun in the air to create a scene? No, he ran away like a coward.”
No. This particular lie has morphed from one version to another, but has at points been that a local cop climbed up, Crooks pointed his rifle and the cop ducked down then called it in. The actual credible discussion of this, direct from the local PD, is that two officers took the initiative to try to spot Crooks after being alerted by others. They were up near the building, so at that angle the guy way near the top of the roof is not visible. So one officer boosted the other up, who got hold of the lip of the roof. At that point, when Crooks turned, the officer lost his grip (either from ducking or simply slipping) then fell, and they both were possibly down for a moment. They both reported it in. At no time did one of them “went up on the roof” or “jump off”. From there the rest of the what-if nonsense is just that, nonsense.
But what the heck, let’s discuss that next part: Let’s say YOU Akindol are a local LEO and assigned to the event; knowing there are counter-snipers, knowing that there is a likely threat already reported in, are you proclaiming that you are foolish enough to start shooting into the air? Let’s ignore the real possibility that you get shot for that, what wisdom do you place in you creating that distraction? Or is this because YOU, as an armchair expert, 3 weeks later, know that the LEO radios that you otherwise rely on everyday are not working and the USSS is so incompetent that they didn’t bother to stop and pick one up from the office today?
So let’s try another:
“A local counter-sniper was going off duty and saw Crooks casing the place. Did he do ANYTHING? No, he ran to his car like a coward and went home.”
Okay, there is a kernel of truth in this claim. A counter-sniper from the local PD was in fact going off shift. Let’s not get into speculation as to why their shift actually ends and why they didn’t possess your 2020 hindsight to know in advance that the USSS would screw the pooch. Let’s just admit that officer had a reason to go off shift, everyone expected that person to go off shift, and they went off shift.
Now we get to the next claim. Saw Crooks. Yes, apparently that officer saw Crooks. “casing the place” well, no, that is not what has been demonstrated. In fact the officer saw Crooks, observed that Crooks seemed suspicious, in part because apparently he entered a controlled parking area? I’m unsure on that part but the text message that the officer sent states that the suspect followed “our lead in” and parked by our cars. And he saw me come out with my rifle and knows where you are. I put only three words in quotes as to the text message since I’m not willing to waste my whole day doing your research and I’m only fairly certain as to the wording of that text message.
“Did he do anything?” Well see above.
“no, he ran to his car like a coward and went home.”
Again see above but keep in mind that there has been on evidence where the officer went, since that officer was “off shift”. Maybe they had another duty and their shift was done at this event but they were assigned elsewhere? I don’t know and I’m quite sure you don’t know. “ran to his car” well, really, post some proof.
Akindol, I see you post other times, I’m certain you are not a deliberate troll, but you are letting emotions overcome any sense. Stick to actual facts, and don’t let yourself be sucked in by this wild ranting.
And for the record, I’m not absolving the locals, but the claims I’m seeing as referenced above are baseless ranting derived from deliberate lies put out there early on.
No. It was the Secret Service’s pervue. NO EXCUSE
Yes. It’s rather like blaming the local fire department because they can’t put out the fires as fast as the arsonists are setting them
We can’t exclude your theory, that state/local LE were a part of this conspiracy. An operative could have been involved. They should all be thoroughly interrogated.
Yes. Both could be true.

Franky, Baby– Puhleeze! 🙃🤪
Nonsense. Secret Service is responsible for protecting Trump. Everyone knows that.
How did the ” locals ” end up with the responsibility of securing that roof top only 130 yards away from President Trump ?
Funny how the area that contained the shooter’s rooftop and the water tower were cut out from the Secret Service perimeter of responsibility and given over to local law enforcement, AND that Crooks concentrated all his efforts there.
Almost like he knew that would be an ideal place to go, free of Secret Service surveillance…
ICYMI – FYI – WTF – Trust No One – ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Inside The Trump Kill Box…
The LOCALS muffed the job! They can go to hades. They were responsible and are passing it off on the USSS.
If they “muffed it”, why were they the only ones who showed up at the briefing and carrying interoperable radios?
Frank, You need more training. This site operates a bit above your paygrade/experience level.
That’s passing the buck. The USSS is IN CHARGE and it is their responsibility to handle security, full stop.
So while the locals had their own share of F’ups, the trip to Hades belong to the USSS. But before the go to Hades, they should eat $hit and choke on it first,
I’m calling you out! You’re full of yourself, boy. You know NOTHING about presidential security details, and consequently are totally incapable of rational thought on this topic. Before you go soiling yourself, I can tell you I know a few things that you never will know- and that I won’t ever repeat – which is why I’ve had it with your pedantic rantings. The USSS is ultimately responsible, not local supplemental assistance, in case you missed that tidbit at the very beginning of the press briefing.
Dude
If the SS were doing their job there would be no locals except to direct traffic
Nice try frank.
Frank—Like in wiener?
Frank is no longer with us.
Bless his heart.
Too Bad, So Sad
Gone to that Giant Bun in the sky?
I wonder how long “Frank” has been employed by the USSS…..and where he was on July 13th?
Enough. Blatherskite.
If the locals were in on it, we know they werent “locals” at all, they were deep state plants, which would lead right back to the feds.
There’s a LOT of interest in the failed assassination attempt. John Cullen, Lee Stranahan and Jason Goodman have collected interviews with people who were at the rally, collected video’s from individuals cell phones, and they are analyzing the various angles from each phone.
Surprising what they are finding, and they aren’t the only ones digging into this.
https://rumble.com/v59d3zx-will-the-real-new-zapruder-film-please-stand-up-with-john-cullen-lee-strana.html
Thank you for posting this. I saw it when first released but did not know what happened to it. Please continue to post updates as their investigation continues.
Their comments and explanations are sorely lacking corroborating evidence. A video clip is not stand alone conclusive evidence, tho that is what they are trying to make it – in my estimation. Maybe they did a better total evidentiary analysis on the sponsored site, but I wasn’t about to pay to see more spin. Hint – a real clue is his calling the 2nd still of the shooter – stating the frame “shows the inbound bullet”. After calling the video of poor quality and composition, he’s trying to tell us it captured a high speed round in flight. If anything, it “MIGHT” be capturing then back of the skull fragmenting away, but even that is pure conjecture based on the video quality. These guys and their high falutin commentary are part of the problem, nad have no right or reason or verifiable evidence at this stage to make a ” Zagruder Film” comparison!
If the kid was shot while President Trump was still speaking why did no one hear the shot? The other shots are all quite audible.
The level of evil is simply “ off the charts”
I am missing something here, as being a foreigner my understanding of the corrupt legal system in the U.S. is extremely limited.
Forget President Trump for a minute, a loving father was slaughtered, two other men seriously, likely with life altering injuries.
Yet these scumbags ( the S.S.) and FIB can simply delay, deny and obfuscate away the day.
F**k me this assassination attempt and murder of a U.S. citizen, and grievous injury of two others, was seen around the world.
Goodness me…” the evil empire indeed”
Cheers!
Americans are being held hostage by our own government, aided and abetted by our “free press.”
Please pray for us.
Yes, we in Canada too, my native country ( the U.K.) too.
Cheers!
And no one is trying to escape????
Escape…..to where?
Escape to where exactly ? The globalist elite permanent DC bureaucrats that have hijacked the US government have a really far reach.
Question: Did you finally figure out how he got that gun onto the rooftop? Was it in the backpack?
Rowe: We’re working to determine that. That’s something the FBI is working on. I don’t want to speculate on how.
Hey homey, that was a joke response, right? That answer is on a par with perpetuating the notion that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation for well over two years. I have a question for the FBI: Since when does the FBI send agents out to hose down a roof where a USSS sniper kills a potential murderer? I have never ever seen a clean-up detail amongst FBI agents. What were they covering up? Can you answer or are you going Full Sgt. Schultz on that one? As for how he got the rifle to the roof, maybe he flew it up with his little drone on the afternoon pre-assassination attempt flight. That’s as good a possibliity as “I don’t want to comment” or II saw nothing, nothing” or “I know nothing, nothing”. It’s been over two weeks. Even the Keystone Kops would have had some answers by now!!!!!
The corrupt government is going to take us to war to cover things up. The American people are already being told Iran is the “evil empire” and must be destroyed. Trumps attempted murder will soon be forgotten as the news will be entirely on killing “terrorists” in Iran and the middle east.
But in 4 weeks college and professional football games start and America’s attention will be taken over by the really important issues of the fall! I hate to be negative but I have little hope for the future of this country or the west. We are being taken apart by forces inside our own government and the apathy of the people.
Does Trump now have his own security detail, outside of USSS?
I hope so. I could see him having a dozen loyal, private security to secure those in his orbit and him.
Has had his own private security detail for years, and are completely loyal to HIM. They have to be superceded by US SS as it is Federal LAW that he be assigned Secret Service Detail for the rest of his life, only there are some employed there that have stated publicly that they are unwilling to take a bullet for him. His normal SS Detail were given the weekend off, the 2nd Team assigned to him were detoured to Dr. Jill’s appearance in a dinner attended by 300 or so of Joe’s bestest buddies with 3 times the number of SS agents “protecting” her, so the majority of PDJT’s team was made up of non SS protectors but investigators to fill in the blank areas of quota required, and chaos ensues, as they had no EFFIN’ clue how to protect themselves much less the leading Presidential contender and future President. You saw the A team and PDJT’s own people surrounding him at convention and at all of the appearances since. He will not let this happen again.
The Butler “crew” were DHS rookies without a shred of proper training for the detail, is what I read fairly early on.
The agents in Homeland Security Investigations do not go through the 9 – month specialized training regimen that a member of the USSS Protection Service goes through.
Thank you.
Very well written explanation of the Butler Circus SS detail.
Can someone please clarify the specific bureau/brach/office referenced when Rowe says “field office in Pittsburgh “?
Pittsburgh field office of the US Secret Service.
Office workers, investigators filled out the detail staff after PDJT’s primary protectors were given time off, and the “B team” was reassigned to protect Dr Jill at her dinner party. Obvious DEI hires that never had to qualify physically or with weapons other than required time at the range w/minimal bullets fired in controlled setting.

Dear God. I pray they don’t succeed in stealing the next election. Our country will never recover…. from these evil SOBs if they aren’t stopped.
Pray that we have an election.
We don’t need no steeeeenkin investigation. Inside job.
Here’s some suspicious timing that REALLY needs to be investigated. To my knowledge, it hasn’t been.
A tweet stating that it was from a reliable insider source (that I saved but has apparently been deleted from my hard drive; it was linked to by Revolver News, so I’ll look it up) said that there was a three-man local PD counter-sniper team in the 2nd floor window closest to the shooters roof with a view of the roof.
For some unknown reason one team member was allowed to go home (WHY?!) which then enabled the following: one team member went outside to look for Crooks, but didn’t find him; he forgot his building entry card, so the last team member had to come down to let him in; during that time when when the counter-sniper nest was UNMANNED, Crooks ran into position and fired.
PART of the story here:
Officers left post to go look for Trump rally gunman before shooting, state police boss says
July 23, 2024
https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-secret-service-pennsylvania-2f887d537c34a798019c6f430dcdbfb1
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two local law enforcement officers stationed in the complex of buildings where a gunman opened fire at former President Donald Trump left to go search for the man before the shooting, the head of Pennsylvania State Police said Tuesday, raising questions about whether a key post was left unattended as the shooter climbed onto a roof.
Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris told a congressional committee that two Butler County Emergency Services Unit officers were stationed at a second-floor window in the complex of buildings that form AGR International Inc. They spotted Thomas Matthew Crooks acting suspiciously on the ground and left their post to look for him along with other law enforcement officers, he said.
Paris said he didn’t know whether officers would have been able to see Crooks climbing onto the roof of an adjacent building had they remained at the window. A video taken by a lawmaker who visited the shooting site on Monday shows a second-story window of the building had a clear view of the roof where Crooks opened fire; it was unclear if the video showed the window where the officers had been stationed. (it was according to the tweet because it was the best spot to view the “too hot” roof – W)
Here’s the tweet:
Yeah that came out a while ago and my feeling on that is that it was a fed-planted story to pass the buck and throw the locals under the bus. Ive not heard the local LE even directly questioned on that but what I have heard them say is that they were told to stay in the room, with screens in place so that it would hide their position, but allow them to shoot through. But without sticking your head out that window, you cant really see to the left where Crooks was. Between the time that shooter climbed up on the roof and when he started shooting, it wasnt long. So it all COULD have happened before they had a chance to realize what was going on. Ive also seen a few reports where the part about the one guy leaving his post to let the other guy in, wasnt even mentioned, so there is some question as to whether it was ever unmanned.
“There is no book more timely and important. Bongino’s “Big Six” should be mandatory training for all our law enforcement and intelligent agents as well as school principals and concerned citizens.” —Major General (Ret.) Patrick Henry Brady, Medal of Honor Recipient, Author of Dead Men Flying
Released in 2017:
Bongino is IGNORING the failures of the LOCALS. He has an ax to grind with the USSS and that is all he cares about.
Name and shame the locals, the Keystone Kops!
Seek life elsewhere.
Ad Rem stated they were on the case, above…
Wrong. I seriously doubt you have watched his show after this event otherwise you wouldn’t say that. He has no “axe to grind” with the USSS which he was a member of for 12 years.
That said, the USSS is THE LEAD AGENCY on site that is SUPPOSED to be directing every other participant in EXACTLY how to do the job and the buck stops WITH THEM.
Your buddy Rowe the Clown must be paying you well.
Listen more carefully to him.
He has outlined the failures of the locals. Done. BUT, he continues to point out that the SS absolutely needs the locals to do their jobs on the protective details–everywhere. There simply are not enough SS people to do everything. Thus, he and others can’t piss off the locals by frying them over and over with a national audience. For that reason he is concentrating on the fed side. He is instead going after the SS where he is getting most of the whistleblower info from his trusted sources.
He has outlined last week that the SS needs to get people OFF the investigative assignments (that the other worthless federal agencies should be doing) and back ON to the protective assignments and logistic support for protection.
Look! Squirrel!
Stop derailing the thread with your nonsense.
Did law enforcement in Butler County arrest or ticket you?
Where is yearick
Not dead.
It was not his day to die as a patsy for the deep state.
Evil! And now, it looks like, Josh Shapiro will be the “VP” pick. Is this his payoff?
ADMIN PLEASE REVIEW THE POSTING PATTERN OF FRANK
On that Jesse Watters summary: O M G!
I have been saying for years they would arkancide him, and they are going to try again
They did poison Biden to destroy his health, and eventually kill him to keep him from ratting out the deep state.
He quit the race and selected Harris, which is a dagger to the heart of Obama.
That’a funny. Never say you here before.
What’s going on in the Pittsburgh field office? Wasn’t that the field office that allowed the doctor to continue to sexually abuse the girls Olympic gymnastic team?
Dr. Larry Nassar, who later was convicted of abusing dozens of female athletes, including Olympic gymnasts.
Indianapolis and Los Angeles FBI field offices sat on the investigation. They are incompetent from coast to coast.
That was the Pittsburgh FBLie office. Different from USSS?
Seems to support the theory that only the DS wants the man eliminated.
The rest of the nation either doesn’t see him as a threat to dumbmockracee or, instead sees DC as the clear and present danger.
Why is this debate even a thing?
If it looks like a duck,
If it walks like a duck,
If it quacks like a duck,
Clearly it’s buzzards. 🙁
Uniparty buzzards.
Read about who is running the US government now. An unelected group of people who think they are totally above the law and need not answer to a single American: The Council
https://intelligencer.today/the-council-who-is-running-the-united-states-of-america/18/07/2024/8132/
These are the individuals who ordered the hit.
According to Lt Col. Tony Schaffer, Washington is in chaos because they expected Trump to be dead by now.
Love Tony. He is the only Napolitano guest that doesn’t say Israel is committing genocide. The rest of them, including Macgregor have gone off the rails.
I would hire Col Shaffer in a heartbeat, except, like General Flynn, he KNOWS where too many bodies are buried and would become an instant target for reprisal, just as Gen Flynn was. He needs to be in an advisory role within the next PDJT presidency.
Fascinating. Reminds of an SD deep dive I’ve read so many ti.es here.
The Tony Shaffer interview and the powerful detailed article on the “council” make a lot of sense. Thank you Eve for posting this. To me it explains all the confusion I’m seeing and feeling. It will also help to focus my prayers more.
The Head of the USSS today, was the head of the detail July 13th. Connect the effing dots people! He won’t indict (prosecute) himself!
So far the story is that it was some mystery woman.
But it would make a lot of sense if it did turn out to be Rowe himself.
Seriously? We’re supposed to believe the snipers are supposed to check text on phone while being “on scope” which is 100% their orders. Omg.
SS never had counter snipers before, so what was the reason to have them at Butler? (Uh, to shoot the patsy?)
Radio transmission was made to the SS site leader that the SS site leader never got. How can this be? (Uh, we be jammin?)
The men and women of the SS Pittsburgh field office are carrying an “open wound”? (Uh, how many of THEM were shot?)
When EVERYTHING that CAN go wrong, DOES go wrong, it crosses the line from happenstance into volition.
All we can do is count the shots, look at the acoustic footprints of each, and cross reference videos and photos for trajectories. I’m still at 5 guns and 5 shooters until someone can move me off of it. So far no one has Oh, and we’ll never find the other 4.

Even if you believed it was “just”a series of mistake after mistake after mistake,the top on down need to be fired.
Seriously though,this is why we are in the situation we are in.You can’t fix stupid.
Especially intentionally stupid.
They are conveniently stupid.
“The Empire” has no clothes.
Is it normal for both internet and cell service to be down, both at the same critical time?
Radio transcript from the Washington Post:
“I’m trying to forward photographs of the individual,” said a local tactical team member at 5:47 p.m.
“Units be advised internet and cell service is down,” another officer on that channel said a minute later.
“Your picture is probably not going to go through because I don’t have any service,” a sheriff’s deputy radioed at 5:49 p.m.
Then there’s the media blackout and refusal to talk to the media from Crook’s father, Matthew Crooks. Explosive devices were discovered at the home of Matthew Crooks. Who helped in the assembly, and is there a link to another bomb ‘factory’ found at Oak Park Drive, Bethel just 10 minutes away?
Link: Bomb squad called to Bethel Park after suspicious devices found near body of man
Yes, both run off the cell towers, and the cell tower(s) near the rural site were probably overwhelmed by the volume of calls and texts from the thousand in attendance.
I had this problem a two Trump rallies in 2020. It was impossible to make a call or text for most of the rallies..
That being said, even more reason they should have had a secure radio net. The idea of the Secret Service using texting doesn’t pass the smell test, especially when timing is critical.
I met a Pittsburgh office SS agent while working at a Trump rally in 2020. He seemed like a nice guy, and I asked him about some of his work, which included things other than personal security, and he told us about some of the criminal cases they solved.
LEOs have reserved priority bandwitch on cell networks. That bandwith is never used for anything else regardless of network congestion. Cellular companies are required and it’s now industry standard meaning it’s built into the equipment and the plug ins.
They already have a secure ‘cell net’ that gives them encryption and priority over the towers. Your phone may not work at congested events, but their phone will.
I find it amusing when they say they are looking for a motive.
Let’s see, they tried to impeach him twice. They have sued him numerous times. And they have threatened to kill him. He will end their reign. Not too hard to figure out.
They need to look no further than the Bidens, the dems and the rinos for a motive.
Look at the Globalists and Military/Industrial/Financial complex, too.
A Rational Person or a Conspiracy Nut would say they were there to provide the “jack ruby treatment”
These days a so-called conspiracy nut = a rational person.
Please Treepers…pay attention to linguistic gymnastics Rowe applies when discussing things like “law enforcement partners and staff” and “local officials” etc. He did same thing during hearing interchanging “Crooks” and “Shooter”. He’s deceptively differentiating.
… or that may have been Wray …but I’m picking up same pattern from Rowe.
When he and Cheetles both said, “What I CAN tell you is”, that’s called a “tell” in poker.
Expect a lie to follow.
“Clearly radio transmission that may have happened on the local radio net” ????? How can radio transmission be both clearly happened and may have happened?
We are now a government of clowns. God help us. God help President Trump.
And his resignation should drop when????? This is ridiculous. Bottom line–the USSS isn’t worth crap.
Raised a lot of questions in your mind? Why was the site director not immediately called in to explain why the building was not covered? I realize that you don’t want to blame anyone at USSS and the massive failure of 7/13 but catastrophic mistakes were made. Will YOU commit to speaking IN PERSON with the widow and fatherless daughter of Corey Comperatore and explain the failures of USSS to them? THEY have the right and YOU have the obligation to let them know why Corey died! Also you should explain to the two men injured. This is simply common decency. I haven’t heard you say the buck stops with you but you accepted the responsibility when you agreed to be the acting director. Period. End of statement!!
Depends on what the true purpose of the Secret Service is.
If it is to actually protect those who have been given into their care, then yes, they stink on ice.
If it is to put up a pretense of protecting someone, while actually facilitating that person’s demise, well, they came awfully close to “mission accomplished.”
How do I watch YouTube when I have no account?
I can’t sign in and so I can’t see anything on YouTube any more.
Really? I don’t have an account either. I just pull up the youtube website and everything is right there. No sign-in necessary.
Never been signed in to it and watch all except age restricted (am pushing 75 lol) I think they use that sometimes as a way to censure political stuff that upsets them.
Check your browser settings are not blocking it, if you use Noscript check Youtube dot com and googlevideo dot com are set to temporary trusted.
DEI-DEI
Its all about feelings- screw doing your job.
Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt, it does not answer why they are hiding information. The obvious question is who are they protecting and why?
Arrogance protects its sister, Incompetence, in the Bureaucracy family.
At best, this was willfull incompetence.
secret service never talked to local beaver county swat team?
The part of the video where 15 terrorists line up on the fence line is scary.
Somewhere else I saw the notion that any perp could just fly a drone, or ten drones, in to take out the stage and motorcade.
Jason Goodman (Crowdsource the Truth) and John Cullen are interviewing people who were at the rally. This lady has volunteered at several of President Trump’s rally’s, is familiar with the Security measures that would normally be taken. Interesting interview – she says no one has interviewed her since the initial incident
https://rumble.com/v59lphg-trump-assassination-attempt-eyewitness-erin-autenreith-was-there-a-shooter-.html
Still nothing from the SS or Fan Belt Inspectors on those phones Geo Tracked that went from the wiped down home to Near Fan Belt Inspectors HQ in DC
Let’s state the obvious Biden, and his criminal gang wanted Trump dead along with the Secret Service.
The videos are clear evidence that the Secret Service seen the shooter on the roof but did nothing, allowing the shooter to fire and hit Trump. … Only well after the shooter fired 8 shots did the Secret Service even attempt to stop the shooter. “Divine Intervention” did what the Secret Service refused to do.
a few notes to look at:
a. the secret service explains (?…responds to a question with a strained reply) that butler PA was the first time that counter snipers were used to protect “A president”.
questions: what prompted this NEW protection regime and what did they know before the rally?
b. there was a black rock connected investment group that laid a very large short position against trump truth social stock just one day before the butler rally. and here is what is getting interesting. the group is suing the market maker because they claim the stock short order was for 1200 position, NOT THE 12,000,000 positions it was charged. This brings a new wrinkle…
what prompted this group to short the truth social stock? what did they know and when?
was it 1,200 positions or was it 12,000,000? recognizing that if assassination actually happened, this group would likely not be concerned about suing the market maker for the higher 12,000,000 position…quite likely the contrary..the market maker would be suing for the lower position.
the bigger question: what does the USSS determination to use counter snipers at Butler FOR THE FIRST TIME, and this black rock connected trading firm have in common? did they both have some sort of “intelligence” leading up to this event that described grave danger to President Trump.
two things: the USSS does not elevate force protection regimes willy nilly and neither does a trading firm put up literally billions of dollars at risk on a a “hunch”.
There are many open source data to collect here and to develop the journalism. I recommend a few of you take your skills and apply them. You will learn something no one else is willing to focus on.
(*yes, very powerful global bankers want President Trump dead and gone and so does the military industrial complex)
God Bless America
Doesn’t Blackrock own AGR building? When was it purchased?
4 months ago.
😳😳😳
Oh, just in time.
I’ll put that into my encyclopedia of coincidences, volume 12.
And wasn’t Crooks in a Blackrock commercial?
This info and its potential implications are truly chilling.
be unafraid. we ARE at war. It just doesn’t have air raid sirens blaring out the warnings. But it IS being televised. in slow motion, as the corruptors walk you right up the LINE and dare you to respond.
taking over you see, doesn’t really take much force. It just requires coordination AND UNCHALLENGED POWER.
challenge accepted.
God Bless America
The short position is just another “mistake”. Mistakes…mistakes everywhere!
They actually did claim it was a mistake and corrected the mistake.
The correction happened AFTER the assassination attempt.
Their answer to question a) is the Iran threat BS.
c. Is it just a coincidence that the shooter appeared in a Black Rock commercial ?
