The greatest threat to Donald Trump
Flopping Aces ^ | 07-18-24 | DrJohn

How on Earth does this woman still have her job? It’s no longer incompetence. What happened was literally dereliction of duty.

Thomas Crooks posted an ominous warning prior to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump

Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks wrote a chilling online message that hinted at sinister plans for the day he shot up the former president’s Butler, Pa., rally over the weekend.

“July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” the 20-year-old gunman allegedly wrote on Steam, a popular online platform where gamers communicate, Fox News reported.

The foreshadowing was revealed to US senators during a briefing by top law enforcement officials Wednesday.

This has happened before but it’s hard to say someone should have connected it to what transpired. Other issues were not so problematic.

Crooks was spotted at least 50 minutes before the shooting.

The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and the FBI told lawmakers Wednesday that former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin was identified well before shots rang out at the Pennsylvania rally, according to sources familiar with the briefing.

Federal law enforcement held the briefing with lawmakers to go over specifics of the shooting that nearly killed Trump on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. During the call, USSS and FBI officials stated that the gunman, later identified as Thomas Crooks, was noticed about an hour before the shooting, or approximately 50 minutes before Trump took the stage to address the crowd, according to two sources familiar with the briefing.

He was roaming around freely on his bike:
Would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks rode his bicycle around the former president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — and ditched it in full view of cops and a crowd before he climbed on top of a roof and opened fire, law enforcement sources and witnesses confirmed to The Post.

Exclusive photos showed the gunman’s bike parked beneath a tree just yards away from the building where he fired up to eight shots, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a hero firefighter and wounding two other supporters.

A witness first noticed the bike at 5:30 p.m. — when Crooks was busy scoping out the perfect spot and more than 40 minutes before he fired gunshots.

The “slope” being an excuse not to station an agent on the neighboring roof is plain stupid. But this is absolutely unforgivable:

Diversity hires need to be dismissed unequivocally. If you don’t merit the job, you don’t get the job. She does not merit the job. She is a diversity hire. Let that become the moniker no one wants.

You are jumping to conclusions. Investigators have no conclusive proof of his motive for trying to assassinate the Republican candidate for president. None. I read it right here on FR.

She’s just doing the bidding of the deep state.

In a sane world, her ridiculous excuse about the sloped roof would be enough to fire her immediately. But no, she’s solidified her standing in the deep state.

I cannot accurately express my anger over this.

Why would these evil people go out of their way to protect President Trump? They have absolutely NO common decency or any measurable morals and they know he’s gonna fire every last in of ‘em if/when elected.

So we’ve been told he had a car, a van and now a bicycle at the rally.

So we know that her hiring wasn't 'performance-based,' if you know what I mean...

Nudge, nudge.

I guess you haven't seen a pic of Lisa Murkowski lately.

++++++++++

Maybe the van was towing the car and the bike was in the car. The home depot ladder was probably in the van./S
