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…

Thanks for that info.
“Don’t just think he worked in the kitchen washing pots and pans, he most likely had his own desk, his own phone, and made important dietary decisions.”
RPTFLMAO! You need to visit a nursing home!
Dietary aide duties may include:
Preparing and serving nutritionally sound meals to residents and patients
Cleaning the kitchen, dining hall and residents’ or patients’ rooms in relation to the food service
Helping residents eat when needed
Working with a cook, dietary cook or facility manager to plan menus that meet medical and wellness needs
uh, are you preaching to the choir for effect?
I do have a semi, but it's an FN-FAL in 7.62 NATO. Free world's right arm . . . .
Good choice.
Was Bismarck a hewwing? /Blazing Saddles
You'll prob get a laugh out of my favorite revolver - Webley .455 (brass available from local reloading co - turned down from .45 LC). Loaded with Unique it shoots gouts of green fire out of the forcing cone and the muzzle. Turns heads on the range every time!
Also surprisingly accurate!
It pisses me off that Bongino is just taking the SS info being fed to him as gospel and calling it "incompetence"....it was an INSIDE JOB and each lie they push makes it look worse for them all and those who accept their lies.
1. Snipers didn't have permission
2. The ridge didn't provide a clear line of sight to shooter (yet shooter got off AT LEAST 5 shots).
3. The shooter pointed rifle at LEO trying to get to roof, so they fled
4. No ladder was used and shooter accessed by doing a tarzan maneuver
5. LEO were just standing on another's shoulders and was doing a Clark Griswold hanging from the gutters so he couldn't respond to shooter with force.
6. Dr. Jill had a Tupperware party or picking out couch material for her new dress and needed extra security so they diverted President Trump's security detail.
7. There were foreign dignitaries that needed security so the force was reduced.
8. The keystone cops protecting Trump were part of other agencies and had been fully trained.
9. Keystone cops weren't really trained, but just desk jockeys from the meter maid squad.
10. Agents were stationed inside the building to offer protection (but couldn't hear the dude climbing up a metal roof?)
The list is endless and they all should be held accountable.
Beside my previous observations, I’m wondering if the 2nd shooter was in the building behind the patsy
It has a 12 ft elevation above him, clear line of sight to the president and the windows were open, with some observations saying they saw people in the windows
Trump was shot from a window behind the patsy
It has a 12ft elevation and unobstructed view
