Secret Service failed to undertake critical security measures and deprived Donald Trump of ample protection ahead of the attempted assassination against the former president, new information disclosed by congressional members shows. According
to preliminary findings published Sunday by the office of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the Secret Service declined to participate in a security briefing provided to local sniper and SWAT teams the morning of Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Led by the local emergency services division, the briefing reportedly “provided local law enforcement with images of the security perimeter at the rally — which did not...

Photos of Thomas Crooks at Butler Rally Prove Snipers Were 40 Feet from Him as Shots Rang Out

Part of the story has been that unnamed police took a photograph of Crooks prior to the shooting. The
Gateway Pundit can exclusively reveal that the police who took the photo were those in the second floor of the AGR Building who inexplicably did not engage Crooks while on the roof, did not attempt to stop him from taking shots at President Trump, and whose presence is conspicuously absent from most mainstream media reporting on the rally shooting.

Eyewitnesses from the ground who saw the shooter on the roof at the Butler Trump rally describe seeing snipers in the second story building of the AGR Building in Butler Township, Pennsylvania. Speaking yesterday exclusively to the Gateway Pundit, the eyewitnesses said there is a lot more to the story that is
not being reported by the mainstream media. Though they could not get a clear look at them, they describe seeing one sniper in particular with a sleeve tattoo. The building staff had been chasing off Trump supporters earlier that day, people who wanted to walk up on the...

Cheatle: Police Snipers Were Not Put on Roof Where Trump Gunman Was Because It Was ‘Sloped’
|
| |
Breitbart ^
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle told ABC News in an interview on Tuesday that a decision was made to put local law enforcement inside the building that gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on top of to shoot former President Donald Trump on Saturday instead of the rooftop due to the “safety factor”
of putting someone on a “sloped roof.”

There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday's shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.

information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.com.

I heard a Radio Report out from a PA Affiliate. Incredibly, they said the following came directly from sources inside the Investigation. There were 3 Secret Service Snipers positioned inside the Bldg that Crooks scaled and used as a platform. Secret
Service Snipers inside the building first saw Crooks looking up at the roof and acting suspiciously. Crooks then left. Crooks returned and was looking at his phone. One Sniper (inside the Building) was observing Crooks looking at his phone and then he saw Crooks using a rangefinder. The Sniper took a picture of him at this point, and forwarded...

Report: Secret Service Snipers Instructed NOT to Fire Until AFTER Assassin Takes the First Shot
|

The Libertydaily ^
| 7/15/24 | Discern Reporter
RealClearPolitics White House and National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree dropped an important report on the failure of the Secret Service to protect President Donald J. Trump and those around him during last week’s Pennsylvania rally. According
to Crabtree, the potential lack of drones and the “DEI” protocols at the Secret Service contributed to the failure, but the biggest reason Trump’s life was put in danger is because rules of engagement prohibit snipers from engaging until the assassin shoots first.

US special operations forces are searching for a new extreme long-range rifle for their next big fight as Ukraine shows the damage that snipers can do
|

Business Insider ^
| 1/28/2024 | Stavros Atlamazoglou
Ask any soldier, and they'll tell you that there are fewer scarier things on a battlefield than an enemy sniper. The
combination of the unknown with the actual danger elevates snipers to some of the most hated figures in warfare. But snipers are force multipliers, more so when it comes to special operations. Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, and Green Berets fight in small numbers, and the snipers within their ranks play a key role. In a team of 12-16 commandos, many will be sniper-qualified, thus maximizing the firepower of the group. US special operations forces are now looking...

Goodbye, Scout Snipers ... For Now

| 15 Dec, 2023 | John J. Waters
Scout Snipers have a mantra. I
learned that mantra years ago when I was assigned to lead a platoon of these Marines. My chief scout in the platoon, a title held by the most experienced Scout Sniper, was Damon. When we met in 2012 on Camp Lejeune, Damon was in his late twenties. His guys were at-home in the woods and with a load on their backs; they rarely complained about being dirty, tired or uncomfortable. I learned quickly that Scout Snipers were the best in the battalion, regular infantrymen who had started out carrying an assault rifle or lobbing...

| PUBLISHED NOV 21, 2023 | BY JOSHUA SKOVLUND |
The last class of Marine Scout Snipers is scheduled to graduate on Dec. 15, marking the end of the 0317 MOS and a long tradition of producing some of the deadliest snipers on the battlefield. The
last HOGs night will take place the night before, aboard Camp Geiger in North Carolina. Marine scout sniper candidates are initially called Professionally Instructed Gunmen, or PIGs, but once they graduate from the course, they are called Hunters of Gunmen, or HOGs. The HOGs night, a tradition for all scout sniper graduates including legends like Carlos Hathcock and Charles “Chuck” Mawhinney, is where scout...

Ukraine claims to have invented an 'invisibility cloak' to help its snipers and specialists evade detection from Russian troops

Ukraine said it invented an "invisibility cloak" to help soldiers evade detection from thermal-imaging devices. One
of the developers told Newsweek it was made with specialist units like snipers in mind. It is unclear what the jackets are made of or if they differ from space blankets made of Mylar. He attributed the invention to Brave1, which is a Ukrainian government initiative to promote innovation in battlefield technology. A member of the Brave1 development team, Maxim Boryak, told Newsweek that their production capacity for the jackets was currently limited to 150 units per month but that they are "ready for...

On Friday, the streets of Ottawa were a surreal scene that was more appropriate for a dystopian science fiction movie or a third-world totalitarian hellhole than the capital city of a so-called western liberal “democracy” that shares a common border with the United States of America. In a display of raw force
that will live in infamy when historians recount the modern era of the proud nation of Canada which has been transformed into an oppressive police state under the helm of leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, an overwhelming number of heavily-armed, militarized police acted to crush peaceful patriotic protesters...
