The video comes to my attention via the Twitter Account of Tony Seruga. The video appears to capture Thomas Crooks walking through the vendor section of the Butler rally at approximately 4:26pm, about one and a half hours before he began shooting.
If the 4:26pm time is accurate, this is interesting because President Trump was initially scheduled to begin speaking at 5:00pm.

Patsy. Not the real shooter.
The blue shirt guy would possibly be Crooks’ onsite handler. They may have never met, but the guy stands out so the Crooks dufus would know him, and not get lost as he followed.
Blue shirt guy would likely be in listening contact w Trump’s SS detail, who’d give timing updates for Trump’s ascension to the stage. All prearranged, so the radio traffic would appear inocuous.
At the appropriate time, blue shirt guy gives the patsy Crooks the signal to climb the building into position. The spook shooter would observe Crooks and rifle in position directly in front of him, and then fire 3 measured shots at Trump. Crooks sees the confusion and fires a rapid 5 shot volley, then dies as planned.
The spook makes his egress. He may be carrying his rifle openly, or broken down. SS facilitated his and Crooks’ access to their positions, so egress would be simple, for anybody besides Crooks, who was marked for death all along.
The conspiracy might look something like this.
Blue Shirt guy is a cutout, barely knowing more than Crooks. If Crooks gives him up somehow, he can’t implicate SS in any way. He just hacked their comms. Both would likely die accidentally in jail, as well. Spook shooter, who neither would even know about, would quietly vacate the area, with or without any shooting.
SS/FBI would make it all go away, with Uniparty help.
So Blue Shirt Guy is Jack Ruby?
The Jack Ruby equivalent in the Trump assassination attempt is the SS guy who killed Crookes.
Jailed for about a year after he killed Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby eventually died in jail of a pulmonary embolism. He was about to go to a retrial. His doctor while in jail was a former CIA employee.
Who killed Crookes is known but no one is saying.
What evidence do “WE” have, that Thomas Crooks was even the shooter? None.
he had 2 phones with encrypted messaging apps and 2 or 3 overseas accounts and no friends… and went to the local fblie shooting range…
the blue shirt dude sure did look like he was up to no good….
if you heard 30 seconds of the dnc last night you might have thought, wow these are a nice bunch of people who are calling us dictators….
I have never fallen for their inverted yet flowery elocution. Never.
The whole roof area was immediately scrubbed clean of all evidence by the FBI and the body of the “alleged” shooter was cremated 10 days later. Nothing to see here. Move on. End of story.
It’s so blatant and sloppy. If it were national news people would have questions but you have to dig for these stories and now no one cares.
Another flop-job by the RNC. We learned nothing new from their “investigation .” More questions than answers come to light every day. Bet the FBI, DOJ, CIA and Libs are planning another kill shot before November.
+10*10^10…
ZERO. None. Nada. Zilch. I don’t believe this guy got off one round, and certainly not 7-8 rounds, until indisputable evidence to presented… otherwise the “official narrative” is just another government funded conspiracy.
For evidence, read this:

Blue shirt guy is the only crowd-goer I’ve seen wearing a long-sleeve shirt and pants.
To cover up his tattoos?
Leave Potbelly-Blue-Shirt guy alone… speculation based on what? Be better.
Well, dectective clouseau, there’s an older white guy on the right side of the frame with blue jeans and a white long sleeve t-shirt and a hat walking in the same direction. So there are at least 2 people there with long sleeve shirt and long pants. And that’s in a 5 second clip.
I say the shooter was Crooks. They can tell by the angle of the shot where the shooter was. The guy in the blue shirt was never identified on the roof. However, he looks to be a part of the plan.
I still wonder about the ‘apparent’ fact that they found 8 casings on the roof. Haven’t seen a photo of this even though it is possible the extra 3 were planted. The audio and visual evidence seems to support 2 shooters – an unknown who took the first 3 shots and then Crook who then immediately rapidly fired off 5 shots. Maybe the blue shirt was the second shooter.
You are not going to see them either. They cleaned up, quickly. NO real investigation at all. People traipsing all over the roof. Washing it down almost immediately Cremating the body w/o notice.
@I_Am_John_Cullen is on the verge of proving 6 shooters.
The first three shots were the same trajectory? The others were a different trajectory. According the the sound recording and analysis, the first three shots were evenly space. Calm, cool, professional. Shot from inside a building, no echo. Like a professional would do it. Those were followed by several very quick shots, from a different gun. Too fast, undisciplined, sporadic. Then, the counter-sniper’s shot. Another different gun. The patsy is dead. Dead men vote, but, they don’t talk.
No proof at all has been presented that Crooks got off one shot… other than his corpse and the official narrative of our govt. I’ll pass.
Did he put on long pants before climbing on the hot metal roof? I don’t recall videos of him up there wearing shorts.
That is a very good question that should be easy to answer. I remember a prior post by someone who wrote (as if they were familiar with being a sniper) that there was no way he could lie in position on a hot metal roof and get a clean without frying his skin.
I thought that was an interesting comment. Simple but obvious.
Drugs?
Observant point. They may have been those cargo pants with zip on lowers.
If I remember right the guy on the roof had camo pants on. I don’t think the guy in the shorts is the shooter. He doesn’t look like the guy I saw dead on he roof in pictures. It is hard to tell though because the pictures they show of him in the MSM are from when he was a smiling innocent looking Jr High kid. (intentional on the press’s part?) There is a lot of speculation going on about the guy in the Blue shirt and sun glasses. He looks awfully out of shape to be Secret Service and too out of place to be a professional. I think everyone is reading too much into the sunglasses. If this is Crook why would he be wandering through the crowd this close to the planned shooting, granted he is an amateur so who knows?
I think these may well be two totally unconnected individuals. The guy in the blue shirt may have just come from work to hear Trump’s speech and left his coat in the car because it is hot. Best be careful here CTH because if they aren’t Crook and a handler but too totally innocent people in the crowd you could be looking at a potential legal issues.
”…you could be looking at [a] potential legal issues.”
In that case, well, it surely would be extremely interesting to see, at last, these two totally innocent people in front of all of us, and listen to their answers to the questions, who they are and why they were at this President Trump’s rally, don’t you think so ?
You are right it would be interesting. But unfortunately CTH would hear those answers in Court Room during testimony in their deformation lawsuit. Everybody is running around looking for a massive Conspiracy on the part of the Biden Administration run by DOD, CIA, FBI, etc. If the real pros in any of those agencies were involved I assure you they would not make the amateurish mistake of the shooter and his handler walking together at the rally right before the shooting. Nor would the shooter be wearing a T-shirt that advertised ties to a radical group. The simplest and most likely explanation is this kid was a stupid immature nut case looking for his 15 minutes of fame aided by a lackadaisical, sloppy Secret Service detail who was more concerned with DEI than doing their job right. This is typical of the current Administration.
“If I remember right the guy on the roof had camo pants on”
here’s “the guy on the roof”
he’s dead
he’s wearing the same white shorts and gray t-shirt as Crooks strolling down the promenade
right-click this photo and open it in a new tab then blow it up by zooming in
can we lay the pants thing to rest already?
whaddya think?
I thought that at first too, but it’s because his legs match the shorts so well it was hard to see where one started and the other ended.
As far as as a hot metal roof goes, the thing is he was not up there that long. Once he got up there, he was moving fast running across the roof to his preferred shooting spot.
There are photos of his body showing knee length cargo pants.
You can see him dead here. Scroll down a bit

Where’s the cheerful, virginal cherub who looked to be about 14 that the media told me was Thomas Crooks immediately after the shooting. This dude looks more like your typical MAGA hating, left wing Gen Z freakazoid
Has the media gaslighted me AGAIN??
Just like with Trayvon!
it’s a well-known media principle
it’s called “The Hollister T-Shirt Effect”
It’s odd, looking at a still photo of a young man who you’d think would have decades of life in front of him had he wanted that.
He had to know that the moment he pulled that trigger, he’d be a young corpse.
Interesting there were no more recent photos of Crooks released to the media.
I don’t think he knew he was going to die. He doesn’t appear suicidal. He didn’t write a “manifesto”.
I think he was told he was part of the plan, and they would get him out of there.
That is the most intriguing part to me. It doesn’t fit that he’s a suicide shooter. Maybe…. perhaps he thinks he will go down in history. It doesn’t seem to fit the overall picture.
We don’t even know it was him since they quickly cremated the body’s and then there was that video where he said, “you got the wrong guy”. Where is the gun in this photo. Wasn’t he was displaying for all to see? Where does he pick up the gun?
It does look eerily like the group of Feds walking in front of Jill Biden at the NC airport.
Never talked, never showed any interest until it was time to give her the vial, or vial ring.
By prior conversation, the blue-shirted guy could have been showing Crroks where to proceed towards
Why does Crooks cast no shadow?
shadow to his right.
He doesn’t look as innocent as the stupid pic of him as an 11 year old.
Everyone needs the rifle that the guy used, the gun was shot up from multiple direstions.
I want to see close-up pictures of of the actual rifle found with him on the roof, as well. Especially since Higgins says one of the local cops claims he shot at Crooks and hit his rifle stock just before the kill shot from the SS sniper on the distant roof.
An AR-15 taking a shot in the stock is liable to damage the functioning of the buffer spring assembly.
Not likely to be able to cycle the action for another shot of the rifle after that.
It was in the 90s 0n that day. Weird to wear a long sleeved shirt unless you are an official.
What a fine looking young man. He would make a good patsy.
The sailors said
“Crooks-y
“You’re a fine man
“What a good chump
“You would be …

Kudoes to the citizen journalist for this video.
The man Crooks is following resembles the same man he was pictured with in the lobby of Blackrock headquarters.
Face recognition software would confirm.
Sundance, good point about the time Trump was originally scheduled to speak. As with the rally I attended, Trump took the stage a great deal later than scheduled. Yet another indication that Crooks was advised by someone when it was safe to scale the roof.
At 4:26 Crooks is walking in this picture.
At 6:11 he fires first shot at Trump
1 hour and 45 minutes.
Where is he hiding his gun?
A: Under a black rock.

Note bruise right arm below T-shirt sleeve, hand on right side particularly thumb appear dirty.
He’s wearing antifa black shoes.
These shoes have been used in many protests that’s should have been taken and ran through an autopsy.
