Failed Trump Assassin Purchased Ladder and 50 Rounds of Ammo on the Morning of the Rally, According to New Report
The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 15, 2024 | Cassandra MacDonald

According to a report from CNN citing law enforcement officials, Crooks bought the ladder from Home Depot on the day he tried to assassinate Trump from the roof of a nearby building.

If this report is accurate and to be believed, Crooks may have made it past law enforcement and the Secret Service carrying a very tall ladder and used it to climb the building unnoticed.

CNN reports:

On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, a law enforcement official told CNN. The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said.

Then, Crooks drove his Hyundai Sonata about an hour north, joining thousands of people from around the region who flocked to Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He parked the car outside the rally, with an improvised explosive device hidden in the trunk that was wired to a transmitter he carried, the official said. Then, investigators believe, he used his newly-bought ladder to scale a nearby building, and opened fire on the former president.

That roof has to been over a 100 degrees scorching hot for him to have been there for 30 minutes.

Someone also put that ladder there for him.

Maybe the rifle as well. He wasn't wearing concealment clothes and it would have been pretty obvious walking around with an AR.

Preplaced ladder, rifle from home smuggled in on someone else and also preplaced.
Wouldn’t doubt it at this point.
It’s disgusting that with what is factually known that it seems to support such conjecture.
I know how we got here as a country, but still “How is it that this is where we are as a country?!”
The FBI has no credibility, DHS never had credibility, CIA has no credibility, and now the secret service seems to be armpit deep in shenanigans.
And looking worse with each trickle of info.

Another story said the ladder was 5’.
So, be was a junior member of the CSC.
Iknow a couple members but they didn’t know him.
It takes a week or so for the waters to become unmuddied and the truth to come out or, more likely, for the DS and their msm mouthpieces to control the narrative and have their “truth” set in stone.

"And where did he learn to make detonators with a separate remote?"

I'd expect someone who fabricated these devices might want to test them at some point to be sure they work and are reliable.

There's info that a number of the Secret Service where switched out for this particular event - supposedly because the normal ones "were too tired" - even though Trump had been laying low letting Biden destroy himself.

Who ordered that switch of staff?

Who were the replacements?

What happened to those who needed "rest"? Did they get switched over to the Jill Biden event that same day or actually had time off?

This was not a loner...

The DEI response is we didn’t cover ladders in our training!

Yeah, looking at all the “coincidences” it is very obvious that he had loads of help.
They stacked the deck in favor of this goober, and he still failed.

A friend once told me that if you carry a briefcase and walk like you’re going somewhere important you can walk around a military base without being hassled.

If you’re with the (Army) 25B G6 help desk you can say you’re tasked to check printers and get anywhere.
Nobody will question it.

“They would have seen any staged items.”

Could have been another fail in the cascade of failures.
