Something is wrong

I put these links in so people could access the story. The US Federal Government has made two claims that I feel are implausible. The first claim is that the shooter was 'acting' alone. That means, in less than 12 hours they have claimed to research every part of his life, his contacts, his past, where he has been, who he as been with, who he may have been speaking with on-line (including on xbox/game consoles), where he trained and were he got him ammunition. I find that implausible.

The second is even more serious. This is the statement, from multiple individuals with video, that the sniper was recognized minutes before. The first claim is that they didn't know falls out because of the video evidence. The second claim that they couldn't shoot until the sniper shot first is ludicrous. The third claim that they needed authority to shoot with someone with a rifle aimed at a POTUS is so stupid not to bother in conversation. The final 'it was local cop problem' makes zero sense because they outlined the building as a risk during walkthrough.

When you start to see the Government and the Media try to make things up as they go along, it's a cover-up. Plain and simple, something is wrong.

It looks like he might have had a CIA handler.

You bring up good points!

I hadn't seen the links you provided. I've been thinking about the FBI's first press conference and later statements, so my 'something is wrong' list reads a bit different.

Long opinion about the Secret Service staffing/competence issue below. To skip it, scroll down to the image of Biden's 'Banana Republic'.

Trump's regular Secret Service detail was not there - only one person was from his regular detail; the rest were serving Trump temporarily. I wonder if Jill 'happened' to have a nearby event - and if she 'happened' to schedule it late. If there had been more experienced, patriot Secret Service agents scheduled to fill in temporarily at Trump's rally, they could have an excuse to pull them away at the last minute to serve her highness, Dr. Jill.

The others in Trump's regular Secret Service detail were reportedly given time off because they've been working 7 days a week for a very long time. I don't think Trump's regular Secret Service detail abruptly went from working 7 days a week, as deemed needed to keep him alive, to all of them asking to have simultaneous time off, and allowing a temporary detail to be assigned in their places, knowing that the FBI would be 'supporting' the effort that day.

I think Cheatle may have used Human Resources staff to compel 'time off' en masse 'in the interests of national security and employee health'. If they are so short handed that they consistently deny Trump requested agents, then why 'let' those agents all take time off together? 

We're to believe Trump is inadequately guarded by Secret Service because $25 million in funding is in limbo, even though that would/should impact other former presidents. Are George Bush, Clinton and Obama all given too few unqualified staff to meet basic security needs like Trump? If that actually happened, wouldn't THEY push for the $25 million in Secret Service detail funding to be approved? Is Biden impacted by sparse staffing? Obama runs the show behind Biden - he's surely gotten all the Secret Service agents he wants or needs.

If Trump's Secret Service asked for time off - they would have done so in partial stages leaving the regular detail 'in charge' and supervising any 'temps'. I think decisions by Biden's Secret Service head (Cheatle); the consistent denials of requests for more agents; the 'limbo' status of $25 million in SS funding (at a time they claim Bidens are in MAGA danger), all point to a concerted effort to drain Trump's Secret Service detail to the point they could 'get him' and make it look like an outside job which took place during the use of temporary, DEI hires. Yes, Cheatle focuses on DEI; that's likely to give a target for an outraged public to focus on while the Deep State orchestrates the hit.

I think it's possible the head of the Secret Service declared that most of Trump's regular detail 'had' to take their time off NOW, before the RNC convention, and while there were probably more 'veteran' Secret Service agents scheduled to accompany him to the rally, they were probably pulled away under the pretense of guarding Jill 'at the last moment.'

Three short women 'guarding' a 6'2" man? One crouching in hiding behind him? The reason there are such great photos of Trump during the response to the shooting is because he was not adequately covered to photographs could take 'shots' of him just as well as any other assassins present. He was still, chest bare, face and head bare etc. This was intentional and made to look like incompetence, but it was planned.

Hard to pull information, either exonerating or incriminating, away from the FBI now because they've taken control of the investigation. I think some of the temporary Secret Service were infiltrators, but the FBI will keep them from talking to the press citing, 'ongoing investigation.' The same is true for anyone decent guarding the president that day - they won't be permitted to talk because of the FBI's 'ongoing investigation.' The FBI playbook puts anyone decent among the Secret Service that day at risk - scapegoating etc. See Jan 6 prisoners or General Flynn for details.

The FBI was in control of the press conference without any Secret Service representative there. The FBI said that the SS was responsible, and that the FBI and Penn State Police were only there for support. I doubt Trump's regular detail, or any loyal patriot veteran Secret Service assigned temporarily to him, wanted FBI 'support' in place of their own agents, given what the FBI has been doing to Trump.

I wonder if Trump was late to his venue because these changes to his security detail, although planned well in advance, were announced in stages at 'the last minute'. If so, there would either strenuous objection to sending so few, unqualified Agents 'supported' by FBI, and/or Penn Police, or some patriots were asking/begging Trump not to go to the rally. How likely would it be for Trump to 'let' them force him to cancel his rally? If he let them get away with it this time, they would continue to play games like this for the next few months.

All speculation on my part - but the 'story' as presented by the FBI in charge of the investigation of the assassination attempt, which is coincidentally the same group in charge of 'investigating' Hunter Biden's laptop, emits a foul odor. The obvious conflict of interest in appointing the FBI after their authorized 'lethal force' Mar A Lago raids is just a whiff of the underlying stench.

Folks - From another post of mine from earlier today:

Others have already opined on the seemingly unlikely scenario that DID unfold on 13JULY24. A 20 year old armed with a rifle was allowed to take a perch much less than 2 football fields distance away from the stage where PDJT was holding a MAGA rally. He did this in the presence of the vaunted Secret Service and I am assuming various Pennsylvania local and State law enforcement. The building he was on is a painfully obvious location that needed to be secure, but was not. The stalker was allowed to shoot at his target well after numerous folks in the crowd had tried to make LEO’s aware of the presence of the gunman.

The inescapable conclusion is - This was allowed to happen.

Others have stated there are fast DNA sequencers that the government uses (no idea if that is true). There was certainly a lot of the shooter’s DNA spattered around the rooftop.

If his parents or other relative took a DNA test, then that link is complete.

They knew his ID, everything they needed was gotten in the ‘hiring’ process.

How did they ID him so fast based on DNA. Was he in a criminal database? Were his parents?

I've read that a young lady who knew Crooks asked him what he was doing ascending the attached ladder to the roof. But, still crazy...

this makes sense. Someone said that the reason the sniper moved his head from the scope was that he may have seen something that didn’t compute. Perhaps he saw the LEO and had to assess what was happening. These are split second decisions we are talking about and if he shot a LEO his ass would be handed to him.

We need to know if this kid was on antidepressant medication. Most school shooters are. Then we need to know what connections he had to government operatives.

Maybe they tried fingerprints and didnt get a hit. A lot of young kids don’t have fingerprints on file.

The One-World Government cabal is at the bottom of this.

Agreed. The government’s knee-jerk reaction to EVERYTHING is always “He was a lone wolf.”

They couldn’t use that for 9/11 because there were three planes and live accounts from the plane that went down in Pennsylvania.

> If there are 2 separate teams involved in the protection, it could theoretically be a case where they weren’t 100% sure the person on the roof wasn’t a friendly. <

That’s not a possibility. And if so, it points to the utter incompetence of the Secret Service agent who was in charge. It’s his/her job to know where every officer is, and to communicate that to every officer.

What we saw was, at best, a total clown show. Which will be blamed on some low-level patsy. (That’s assuming any blame will be assigned at all.)

Was he in the rifle club? Other sources say he wasn’t allowed on the team. Or is the team a separate entity from the club?

“that cop should have been on the radio yelling shooter, shooter, shooter - and the agents on the stage should have covered Trump before a single shot was fired.”

Exactly right. Instead we are told the cop “retreated” when the assassin pointed his rifle at him.

One more thing (of many) that just doesn’t add up.

Which makes me wonder in this situation does Govt have access to all the DNA testing sites? Or perhaps they are just subscribers that upload data and see what pops. 23andme doesn’t get it right with some of my relatives as to their exact relation but they are related. My parents arent on there but I assume they would get that right

The cop probably was on the radio yelling that. We don’t know one way Or the other.

Do you really think they wouldn’t know the guy they hired to do the job?
