The Assassin Stashed His Gun Near the Trump Rally Before Retrieving It To Take His Shot, and the Secret Service Failed to Find It When They Did Their Insecure Security Sweep

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin who opened fire on former President Donald Trump's Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday, hid the weapon in advance, according to a Secret Service source.
It was not immediately clear where he hid it, however. By the time agents spotted him on the roof, he was already holding it.
"We went from golf range finder to AR-15, and now we have to fill in the gap," the source told Fox News.
When authorities first observed Crooks carrying a golf range finder Saturday, he was perceived as a "person of interest" but not a "threat," authorities said Thursday.
Range finders were not banned from rally events at the time, but authorities are expected to review the list of items that are not allowed.
He did not become an official threat until he was seen with a weapon.
There were four counter-sniper teams stationed around the rally, according to the Secret Service -- two from the agency and two provided by local law enforcement.

Of the four teams, two opened fire, one local and one from the Service. A federal sharpshooter fatally struck the gunman seconds after the gunfire erupted.

Seconds after.

When you need Secret Service protection, help is only a few seconds (or 62 minutes) away.

...
Authorities have spent much of the week pointing fingers about who was responsible for securing the AGR building, from where Crooks opened fire.

And covering it up.

Look at Fox News -- not quite sure if Trump was hit by a bullet, or only "said" he had been hit.

Trump later said he had been shot in the right ear, and photos from the scene showed him getting back to his feet after ducking for cover with blood on the right side of his head.

He only "said" he'd been shot? Are you harboring some doubts about this Convenient Story, FoxNews?

You know there's an entire BlueAnon conspiracy theory claiming he wasn't really hit?

Why is the "fair and balanced alternative" FoxNews also playing footsie with the BlueAnon conspiracy theorists?

You know why.

29 ace:

"Initially, it was not known that snipers were in the second-story building overlooking the Trump rally. Crooks’ body is alleged to have been on top of the building on the far right in the picture above. These snipers have not been interviewed, the details of what they saw that day have not been disclosed, nor has the fact that they would have been in plain view of Thomas Crooks for the entire time he was prone on the roof.

The snipers overlooking the body of Thomas Crooks could have just as easily walked out to the roof and stopped Crooks from shooting.

For the over thirty minutes that the public was yelling about a sniper on the roof from the ground below, the snipers apparently didn’t notice the active shooter getting into place within 20 feet of the multiple windows they were looking out of."

CNN had a story that audio analysis showed 3 weapons fired. 3 round from weapon A, 5 rounds weapon B, one round from weapon C.

This comports with what I heard - 3 rounds, a gap, 5 rounds, then a boom.

But we don't know which is which at this point. Single shot is obviously the final sniper shot.

DO we know it was the USSS and not the FBI?

They typically run the local operation. USSS handles the controlled area, and FBI interviews people of interest beforehand and handle the outside zine (from my understanding and recollection of past events.)

But we hear nothing from the FBI. Where they too busy deleting social media accounts beforehand to do the search?

Also, I think the parents knew. Or should have known.

Bullshit. He not only shouted down anyone, prior to 2020, who even suggested five points of fraud were possible ... he came out guns blazing immediately after about how Trump lost in a few key demographics in a few key areas.

Because Dave loved elections like old ball players love their sport. They'll always tell you "can't let the official decide the game". No matter how blatant the ump decides the game.

96 47 This is the first time I have heard that two sniper teams engaged the shooter

CNN had a story that audio analysis showed 3 weapons fired. 3 round from weapon A, 5 rounds weapon B, one round from weapon C.
Posted by: blaster a

-----------

They have always been very vague but said that on like day 2. The second, local team appears to have been sitting around and not in any position. Only the USSS teams were on the two roofs in photos we have all seen as far as I can tell.
It is possible one was in the water tower though.

On the 3 gun theory, that comes from a guy who did an audio analysis, but the analysis is total crap. He claims the one gun was in the window based on angles and heights that he guesses at, and on one tape the second gun sounds very different, but he doesn't seem to notice that the phone which recorded it is walking around and he is picking up reflections because it turned. It is total crap, so just what you expect on internet and CNN

Because Crooks' father had previously let him use the gun for target shooting, he was not suspicious that his son was planning anything of concern."

Like I said the other day...Mil Dot Reticles exist for a reason. No need for a rangefinder if you use one.

173 This is the first time I have heard that two sniper teams engaged the shooter

CNN had a story that audio analysis showed 3 weapons fired. 3 round from weapon A, 5 rounds weapon B, one round from weapon C.

This comports with what I heard - 3 rounds, a gap, 5 rounds, then a boom.

But we don't know which is which at this point. Single shot is obviously the final sniper shot.
Posted by: blaster at July 19, 2024 03:54 PM (IFNME)

The snipers I saw analyzing it were saying that the shot sounds you heard first was the snap of the bullets passing the mike supersonically. So some of these extra sounds could be the report making it the 150 yards to the mike, and then the final shot.

2) The SS leadership did this intentionally hoping some known wolf would take advantage

3) The SS leadership worked with the assassin

All of the companies puts in their SEC filing were accidentally multiplied by 10,000 by the 3rd party company that prepared the filing. Dozens of puts for dozens of different stocks.

That's the SWAT ladder IIRC.

"Though law enforcement sources said Crooks is believed to have purchased a 5-foot ladder at a Home Depot before the shooting, it does not appear to have been used to climb on the roof and was not found at the scene.

Crooks was able to get a clear shot at the former president by scaling an air conditioning unit accessible from the ground and pulling himself up to the top of a building outside the security perimeter, sources told ABC News. From there he gained access to the top of the neighboring American Glass Research (AGR) building, sources said."

If you listen to the interview above, it wasn't quite like that. The cop ducked his head, lost his grip on the roof edge, and fell. Both he and the other cop immediately got on their radios to alert the others. He also said that before the cop was hoisted on the roof they had walked the whole perimeter and couldn't see anyone up there. So they couldn't have taken a shot at him.

For those of you that have never done the math - 1 MOA is so close to 1 inch at 100 yards that its a very, very good rule of thumb.

Go out sometime ... use a bag rest if you have a farm or access to a 100 yard range. Pursue that mythical 1 MOA grouping. It can be done - I do it regularly with a bolt action Rem 700 in .308.

Now ... eighth inch ? The width of Donald Trump's luxurious, majestic ear lobe ? At 130 yards ? With a .223 ? That's a horse of a different color.

Then it's time for the bully pulpit.

He should read the 2nd article to everybody, and have Constitutional experts explain what was meant by "vested" and then he should read the Federalist Papers about the executive branch.

And simply say to country DC has usurped the Presidency--also stress that this IS NOT "democracy".

This is a good strategy I think, because people are *bound* to come back with "No you weren't elected by a *majority*", if he won an electoral vote.

Because you can come back and say, maybe that's why there *IS* a difference between a "democracy" and a "Constitutional Republic Union of States".

And point out that it suggests that there *IS* a difference in concept between a "democracy" and a "constitutional republic" and it's not just pendantry, and point to how the Dems have been dissembling all along.

313 245. The Butler Pa county commissioner who released a statement this week said that the cop who went up to the roof was hoisted up by a fellow officer and had both hands on the edge of the roof to pull himself up. When he looked over the edge, Crooks saw him and pointed the gun at him. The officer let go and fell back onto the ground injuring himself in the fall. No ability to pull his weapon.

Crooks was recruited, briefed, assisted, allowed to shoot, then silenced.

"Do the assholes writing these articles not realize that the entire world saw Trump get shot in the ear?"

But, nah, they're like...

All of the companies puts in their SEC filing were accidentally multiplied by 10,000 by the 3rd party company that prepared the filing. Dozens of puts for dozens of different stocks. It was filed on the 12th. As soon as the error was discovered, they submitted an amended filing to the SEC (on the 16th). All of the puts were corrected and the math works out.

2) Not securing the roof. A staggering oversite. Sounds like just poor site management.

CNN had a story that audio analysis showed 3 weapons fired. 3 round from weapon A, 5 rounds weapon B, one round from weapon C.

This comports with what I heard - 3 rounds, a gap, 5 rounds, then a boom.

But we don't know which is which at this point. Single shot is obviously the final sniper shot.
Posted by: blaster at July 19, 2024 03:54 PM (IFNME)

Interesting, if legit.

Presumably, "A" was the first, chronologically. Therefore, the shooter took 3 shots. Seems like some are saying more than that, apparently including "B".

If "B" is another sniper for the good guys, they were apparently a terrible shot, missing 5 times. Does that make sense?

358 50 and 100 were point-shoot range. 150 took aiming.

Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher

Pretty much in agreement. Had to aim at the 150, but it was really easy to hit. I didn't skip the 300s all the time - depends how I felt - but it was a good idea to get extra shots at 250 if necessary.

There was no exception in AR 870-whatever (the Army uniform policy) for officers wearing marksmanship badges. I deduced the unwritten custom was because too many officers sucked and barely qualified. I qual'd expert and I proudly complied with the uniform reg.

The Post also reported that Crooks may have scoured the site of the rally up to six days in advance and appeared on Saturday well before the event’s start time, drawing suspicion from security personnel which was not acted upon. Before the shooting began, local law enforcement officers responsible for securing the site’s perimeter photographed Crooks crawling along the ground with a rangefinder as he sought a vantage point for the stage. The disturbing behavior was reported back to headquarters but not acted upon, other outlets have added. FBI agents used technology from Cellebrite, a popular private-sector company well-known among law enforcement organizations for assistance in hacking into the phones of terrorist suspects after major security

Yes, your ears, and mics, pick-up a snap-pop double sound from each supersonic bullet that passes close by. Bullet shock wave then the muzzle report.

What we peons don't yet know is how many separate bullets the scumbag fired to strike the one dead and three wounded men. (Magic JFK bullet here we come!) Four? Did one bullet or fragments from one bullet wound 2 or more men? Did friendly bullets strike one or more of the four men?

The longer such key details are withheld the more the investigation results will lack credibility to the sane non-Leftist members of the public.

Why hasn't the 'independent review' been announced as up-and-running yet? Is it running already but in secret? If so, that is a cover-up review, not an independent review the public will have confidence in.

He then starts getting shot at from the ground. 5 or 6 shots but I think a couple were from the "local counter sniper team" that was "in the building" and is probably just a couple of range qualified LEO with long guns. He fired a few shots, still into crowd, but not specifically at Trump.

Apparently one incident was a regular citizen getting on an elevator with Obama while carrying. Shots fired at Biden’s home and no one ever caught because SS had no cameras set up. A guy climbing the WH fence with crocs and entering the WH when Sasha was the only Obama there. Chaffetz said the uniformed SS agents get 30 minutes of training a year.

449 We seem to be overlooking that the building the shooter was perched on was (absurdly) considered "outside the perimeter". So the immediate area around there would not have been swept for weapons. It was probably stashed somewhere near the building he used.

That the short was smaller is not "nonsensical", but it's definitely not something that "debunks" somethings since it came from an official source.

Masks were both debunked as working, and then debunked as not working (so wear TWO), that the virus came from a lab was "debunked" by official sources.

And people were threatened with the loss of their jobs for going against "the experts". And they silenced all the reviewers who said it had the marks of coming out of a lab.

488 What it looks like to me, so far is this.

He fired 3 shots, Trump ducked. I think out of sight of the shooter (although not behind steel barrier as it was not on sides.)

He then starts getting shot at from the ground. 5 or 6 shots but I think a couple were from the "local counter sniper team" that was "in the building" and is probably just a couple of range qualified LEO with long guns. He fired a few shots, still into crowd, but not specifically at Trump.

Final shot from far side USSS CS team on roof.
Posted by: PFC Obvious at July 19, 2024 04:48 PM (Fj9dJ)

This meshes with the audio analysis sponsored by CNN (yeah, I know) that somebody has in the comments above. 3 shots from "A" (which would be the shooter), 5 from "B" (apparently local LEO), and 1 from "C" (Secret Service).

But the 5 shots were from the same weapon.

Whoever was in charge on site clearly slow rolled any response. That could just be opportunism from a typical government employee.

But somehow this particular shooter (who's no more nutty than the average MSNBC viewer) somehow managed to be there on this particular day when Trump's security was at it's weakest. How did he know that? Or was he just astronomically lucky?

Given the overt hostility federal careerists have expressed to submitting to citizen authority vested in Trump when he was in office the first time, and pretty much every time they're in front of Congress, A is far more likely than the idea that just got lucky with this guy.

508 here is a sound guy who timed the recordings for bullet crack and rifle report. Three shots with bullet crack and rifle boom with signature indicating 145 yards, five shots slightly longer range, and the final shot fired near to the stage going the opposite direction.

The first three are the shooter, and the last one is the near counter sniper shooting back, the other five are in question.
Posted by: Thomas Paine at July 19, 2024 04:51 PM (lTGtQ)

From this description, it sounds like there was a third weapon (besides the shooter and the counter-sniper who got him) that was firing IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE SHOOTER. Am I getting that wrong?

Does that mean the official report of a second counter-sniper team is BS?

There is a "second shooter" theory, but with that theory there would only be ONE shot from the second shooter - that of a professional sniper.

A comment on a thread here a day or two ago purported to show evidence of a second shooter, but it didn't make sense either. It showed two bystanders going down from the same bullet, but they were NOT in line with Trump. It came from the direction if the water tower.

Nothing's making sense, in any way.
