Okay, so we are supposed to believe that a 20-year-old kid “who was turned away from his high school rifle club for being a ‘comically bad’ shot” and that had no military training whatsoever was able to pull this off all by himself? We are being told that it was “a mistake” that the ideal location for a sniper to be located was left unguarded, and somehow Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to identify this oversight and position himself accordingly. Just 150 yards away from where Donald Trump would be speaking, Crooks was able to climb on to a roof with a rifle and stay there for nearly half an hour before he finally started shooting at Trump. Either this was a cataclysmic security failure, or Crooks had some help somewhere along the way.
According to a former Secret Service agent who was in charge of Vice President Al Gore’s security detail during the Clinton administration, there should have been Secret Service personnel on that roof and “someone dropped the ball”…
Before a high-profile person like Trump attends an event and needs Secret Service protection, the agency conducts a security survey that also takes nearby buildings into account.
William Pickle, a former special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s vice presidential protection division who oversaw Vice President Al Gore’s detail, told USA Today that something was clearly missed. “We know who’s there, why they’re there, we have control over those buildings,” Pickle said. “It seems like somewhere in this security survey, someone dropped the ball on those particular buildings.”
Was this just a mistake, or was it done on purpose?
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino is claiming that an “unimpeachable source” has told him that someone was supposed to be on that roof but never showed up…
NEW: Dan Bongino says an “unimpeachable source” tells him that someone was supposed to be on the roof where Thomas Crooks shot from but “didn’t show up.”
Bongino also claimed that the Biden admin is telling the USSS director to keep her mouth shut if she wants to keep her job.
“According to my source, that roof was supposed to be a police post… [there] was so supposed to be someone there.”
“They’re now making up excuses saying the pitch of the roof. My source says to me that no one knows why the post didn’t show up.”
“I was also told that the USSS director has been given instructions from the administration and the DHS secretary: ‘If you wanna keep your job, you’ll keep your mouth shut about this.’”
We need to identify who was supposed to be posted on that roof, and we need to determine exactly why that individual did not show up.
And why is the director of the agency being told to shut up about this?
Something does not smell right.
Just before Trump was shot, members of the crowd could see a man with a gun on that roof, and they tried to warn the police…
According to several media outlets who did their own analysis of eyewitness videos, crowd members had spotted the suspect on the roof about two minutes before the shooting happened and frantically tried to warn police.
“The police are down there running around on the ground. We’re like, ‘Hey man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle,’” a witness, who called himself Greg, told BBC News. “And the police were like, ‘Huh, what?’ Like they didn’t know what was going on.”
One eyewitness was absolutely amazed that Trump was not pulled off the stage after a potential threat had been identified…
‘I’m thinking to myself ‘Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage,” he said. ‘The next thing you know, five shots ring out.’
This has raised serious questions around whether the two teams had completely failed to spot the shooter until it was too late and how Crooks was able to fire at least eight shots before he was taken down.
Is the Secret Service really this incompetent?
It just seems so unlikely that they could really be this inept. One of the best snipers in the entire world, Dallas Alexander, is entirely convinced “that the shooter had help”…
“I’m very familiar with the layout of these types of things and what the jobs should be. And yesterday, what happened, I have no doubt in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency, an organization, or the government,” said Alexander.
“The second I saw that aerial photo of what they were saying happened, it immediately made no sense to me. You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within what looked like maybe a couple of hundred yards. You can’t get into that position with a gun when there’s a president speaking. It cannot be done. You don’t even need to be a sniper to know that it’s the most f—king obvious thing, the most obvious place in the whole world.”
“So something happened, and I’m not pointing fingers at anyone. It’s too obvious that this guy had help getting there. So whether someone turned a blind eye or it was strategically planned, I mean, it had to be planned to a certain level because events like that and security like that, it’s not a small thing. And that is the most obvious place to be.”
U.S. Representative Cory Mills also served as a sniper, and during a recent interview he shocked a CNN host by also suggesting that Crooks probably had help…
Former sniper and defense contractor Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) triggered a CNN host on Tuesday after suggesting that “intentional” failures may have resulted in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Saturday.
“The amount of negligence, the amount of mistakes that was made here, I have a very difficult time not leaning myself towards this was intentional, as opposed to fecklessness,” Mills told anchor Kate Bolduan.
“If I have a building 160 yards perfectly adjacent to the stage, that’s an obvious threat,” he continued. “Especially with an elevated position that has overwatch? That’s a sniper’s paradise.“
Will we ever get the truth?
I don’t know.
But as Matt Walsh has aptly pointed out, the official story does not seem to be holding up…
Here’s the official story so far:
a random 20 year old acting completely alone walked within 150 yards of a presidential campaign rally with a rifle, climbed onto a rooftop in full view of Secret Service snipers, set up his shot and fired without anyone intervening and with no help from anyone.
This 20 year old is also so politically radical as to attempt an assassination and yet not radical enough to have ever posted any political writings or commentary on any social media site ever in his life.
He also wrote no manifesto and left behind no indication about why he did it.
The American people deserve a full investigation of this matter.
But when has the government ever been good at investigating itself?
And potential evidence is already been washed away. In fact, an FBI agent was literally photographed power washing the crime scene…
Maybe this particular agent was ordered to wash the shooter’s blood off the roof.
But to me it doesn’t make sense to get rid of evidence while so much is still unknown.
In my career, I have learned that it always pays to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
Of course in this case we may be witnessing a major league cover up.
If Trump’s shooter did have help, those that were involved will want to cover their tracks as rapidly as they can.
