Did Trump’s Shooter Have Help?

Citizen Watch Report ^ | Michael

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…

I heard today that the SS snipers that we have footage of shooting, were not the actual ones that hit the assassin!

From the sound and video tracks I heard and saw right after the late power-nerd started shooting, there was only one group of LE snipers who fired back right away with the burst that killed the assassin, and from what I could see, it was not the SS. It was two dark-uniformed cops on a the rooftop of a building near Trump, using fancy sniper rigs they maneuvered with what looked like racing-bike handlebars.

There has to be a way for someone who isn't corrupt to work out the chain of events and actions based on images, sound, and reality--as opposed to covering up the SS brass's attempt to orchestrate Trump's murder.

*****************
according to an ABC report released today, they couldn’t have been. They say it was 26 seconds after Crooks started shooting that he was taken out. 26 seconds! the SS snipers on the roofs responded within a second of him opening fire. So someone else with a shot unheard must have taken him out. To me it looks like he was shot from behind. Maybe SS crawled up on the roof from behind and took him out.

But you have to look at the facts.
Trump was safe and the SS was effective.
If he did not have the SS it could have been much worse.

Please tell me that was just cleverly disguised sarcasm.

1) Hit on President Trump
2) Hit on audience member, killed by headshot
3,4) Hits on audience member, critical injuries
5) Hit on second audience member, critical injuries
6) Hit on hydraulic line of lift engine to left of Trump

7,8) Not sure if assassin fired those shots.

For about $100 worth of plastics, you can make a 10-22 look like an “AR”.

But again, if using a 10-22, no way in hell did he take a 156 yard shot, or even 156 feet. Any ballistics chart and from experience with 40 years shooting a 10-22. 32 to 36 inches of drop.
This would be off any reticule cross marks on about any scope.
It would take quite a bit of experience to dial in a scope to account for almost 3 feet of drop.
Meaning how many “clicks, or MOA to account for that amount of drop and be that accurate with a 22 round and performing a single 8 round burst.
I mean come on, in the real world, 3 shots, click, click, 3 shots, click click click...

it was not the SS
*****************
I’m. not sure but I think they were SS. I think underneath where it says POLICE on their backs it says SECRET SERVICE.

Crooks repelled the cop behind him with the rifle, swung around and realigned into position sending 8 rounds to the “x”. The snipers didn’t stop him until atleast 4 people were hit. For a skinny turd rejected by a gun club and no military training, how did he perform that without his head being blown in by the counter snipers first?

CBS says the 2nd team of snippers made the kill shot from a building behind the 1st team of snippers that got all the attention from that photo.

AR is technically a .22 = .223/5.56. Cartridge designed for small bullet (around 35g) driven at fairly high velocity (3000 fps+).

"If you see or hear anything suspicious ignore or look the other way"

For many of the security agents, it appeared to be their first day on the job. They probably did not question anything.

[algore]

I am not an expert, but .22 does not seem like 55.6 or .223

But I like my .220 swift

So if the local police shot Crooks, the SS counter snipers stood down?

[aklurker]

For those of you talking about him being a comically bad shot in high school, that was at least 2 years ago if not more. A little bit of reading, and lots of range time and from he did he was definitely no longer a “comically bad shot”. I don’t think he was a great shot, but being rushed, he was still able to get at least one round within an inch of his target. Maybe part of the reason he did this was because he was laughed out of the gun club who knows, I don’t think we will ever find out if he was just a nut or had a handler. The main issue is the criminal dereliction of duty by the SS person in charge that did not make sure there were security personnel on a rooftop 150 yards from the stage.

DPMS AR-15 5.56 purchased by his father in 2013.

Don’t think there would be a point to lying about that. Haven’t seen if it had some kind of optics.

No one in power in Govt is going to ask that question.

The Republicans are already making noise that they don’t want to get the people on the right going, prioritizing that over the Truth.

The young wannabe assassin (and bystander murderer) could have hidden himself in the compact stand of four Italian Cypress looking trees, 20’ high, right along with the 10’ ladder until he felt the coast was clear and it was time to get on the roof. The trees are about 20’ - 30’ from where the ladder was found leaning against the covered walkway between the buildings. The foliage would have easily hidden him.

The most common .223 (5.56x45) ammo is 55gr Full Metal Jacket.

It is the cheapest and one of the most accurate bullets, but 55 gr is a very light bullet and it does not easily expand upon impact.

It is possible to shoot heavier bullets in 5.56x45 NATO, if you have 1:8 or 1:7 barrel twist. For hunting, I almost exclusively use 70 gr semi spitzer soft point bullets. There are other considerations to apply.
