EXCLUSIVE: FBI Seized Tropicana Video During Las Vegas Massacre

As chaos and blood flowed on the streets of the Las Vegas strip, a SWAT team was sent by the FBI to the Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino to secure and confiscate their surveillance footage of the massacre

VERO BEACH, FL (TruNews)

While gunshots were still being fired on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay, a seven man team, led by an FBI agent, tactically and expeditiously moved through the casino area of the Tropicana toward the hotel's primary security office.

Here is cell phone video of the incident Cerritos, California resident Jay Poloma sent to KPCC radio:

Their mission, according to the senior official, was to secure the video footage being captured from the Tropicana's south facing external surveillance cameras, which were recording an unparalleled high definition view of the massacre from beginning to end.

Some speculate that shots also came from the Tropicana and he is the - well, you know.

When they move chips through the casino, is it “standard security” to point firearms at the patrons and make them raise their arms and hands?

Why haven’t any of these people come forward?

...if no one else is involved in this case, there is no need to keep all the video hidden from the public. Why the secrecy surrounding Campos and the videos?

My guess:

Cuz there ARE others involved in this, people still out there. And they're doing stuff. And Da Gummint desires that Those Others not learn the extent of Da Gummint's knowledge regarding this past operation of theirs.

Were they witting of that, this mystery group might be deterred from what Da Gummint regards as their next probably step.

And Da Gummint wants to bust them right before they pull that other stuff.

That is 100% a blind guess made under the assumption they ARE still sorta looking out for us.

Yeah, because the FBI has -ruthlessly- gone after antifa. Just a week or two ago at 5am they picked the front door lock of a college professor organizing them and stormed the house to seize evidence of collusion with Hillary’s campaign and to identify other cells.....

...oh wait.

My, my, my, swat teams staged at the ready to confiscate the evidence of their crime. What else can be made of such a pre-emptive action to scoop up incriminating evidence before it saw the light of day. They were slow as molasses to shut down the shooter, but fast as a rattlesnake to seize the evidence of the crime. Why on earth would they have been there in the first place if this was a spontaneous event?

A casino chip movement where they point guns at people holding their hands up? Id find somewhere else to lose my money.

And it looks like his finger is completely on the trigger not pointing straight out like the others.

A potentially fruitful investigavive angle:

Did his Air BnB houses involve garages offering house entry from INSIDE the garages, like ALL of them..?

We already know no one was sleeping or eating at those places —they were likely just MEETING places.

If the houses had lay-outs like I’m thining, to me that would say some sorta large ITEM was changing hands:

Carbines, ammo crates, MANPADS, heavy drug loads.

Any, some or all of those.

He’d be transferring them out of a van or truck into the garage, and then inside the home for the review of some other person or people who was also coming to the location, probably briefly.

How they screwed up:

They didn’t mess up the beds. A pretty stupid mistake.

“If they’re there just to get a video, why are they pointing guns at everybody?”

Because despite pop culture and todays hit TV shows, the FBI is utterly unskilled at street level police work. They can sift through financial records, identify a carpet fiber, etc etc.
But most never even ONCE arrest someone. I mean never. They are terrified crapless. They never respond to a domestic, an armed robbery in progress, or a bar fight. F-troop was out of its element. They simply do not go into the things a street cop does. Like I said, not withstanding todays pop TV series. Also a forensics cop doesn’t kick in doors and get in shootouts.

By the way, to prove my point. Imagine yourself in the location of the cameraman. If he was the gunman, he could have mowed them down in one go. Not a single one ever looked up!

This guy was standing there pointing a camera at them. They never saw him. Think about it.
