One often-repeated part of the official story is that a Butler County Sheriff’s Deputy climbed on top of the roof moments prior to the shooting to confront alleged shooter Thomas Crooks, and Crooks responded by pointing a weapon at the Deputy, who then fell off of an eight-foot ladder
Later reports claim that the deputy hurt his ankle and is now walking with a medical boot. Here’s the New York Post repeating that story nationally.
Key witness Greg Smith exclusively told the Gateway Pundit:
“I saw him [the sniper] right before he shots happened, and I didn’t see him turn around and confront anyone. I never saw that and it didn’t happen. We asked all the people around us and in our group and we didn’t see that. I heard the story about the officer falling and hurting his foot, no one saw that. I’ve heard the stories, but I have no idea what they’re talking about.” Explosively, he also relates that the snipers in the 2nd floor section of the AGR building were watching the rooftop shooter as the shots rang out – and did nothing!
“I was looking all around to get law enforcement’s attention before the shots, and I could tell it was coming, because as I was standing there for several minutes I kept thinking ‘why is Trump still talking?’ You expect someone to be on the radio or whatever the protocol is, to get Trump off the stage. I knew this isn’t good. I expected the shots to start, and then they did. It was mass chaos. I was looking at the guys on the second story, my eyes were jumping three or four different places, I could see that they saw him and were looking at him and watching what he was doing, but they didn’t do anything.“ Butler County Sheriffs Deputies have said that their body cameras were turned off and there is no footage available from the incident.
“In photographs of the Secret Service snipers, they appeared to be using long-range and powerful rifles that likely fire .300 or .338 cartridges, commonly used by well-trained military snipers.”

The story rang of self-serving lies from the very beginning.
Give him a Polygraph.

Which story? You have to be specific if we are to know whose story you are talking about.
All the cops body cams are turned off? Who gave that directive?
David Lifton’s book was excellent—very persuasive.
LBJ was deeply involved in the coverup—and probably was one of a “committee” of folks who greenlit JFK for assassination.
There are many witnesses stating they notified cops and Trump was allowed to continue on stage.
Are the authorities trying to go around to intimidate the eyewitnesses into silence?
It was obvious a staged assassination attempt.
It looks like one guy had stereo tracks from two devices and the other stereo tracks from a single device.
Do you know the SS’ caliber weapons?
______________________________________
I do not know the caliber, but odds are the weapon of choice would be the match grade .308 caliber. There has been some discussion about wind defection of the bullet, I think it was first raised by Eric Prince. I note the big flag behind Trump was blowing to Trump’s rear indicating a southerly wind direction of perhaps 8 to 10 mph. If the round clipping Trump’s ear was defected ever so slightly in that northerly direction it may have played a factor. However, I would only subscribe to this assessment if the round came from a greater distance than from the known shooter’s location, for, example, from the top of the water tower. That tower looks like it is around 300 feet tall at the top of the tank and then you have the distance to the stage so you are talking at least 500 yards.
I don’t own a .223 rifle.
I do own a 5.56x45 NATO rifle with 1:8 twist 18” barrel. Most of it is made by Anderson Manufacturing.
My custom built hunting version, has my own Maple stock and low profile. Only Pinckney rail is on the upper receiver.
I bought a nice scope for it, but am tuning it with flip up shadow ring sights. I may never put the scope on it, but if I want to, I have it.
My favorite load is with Speer 1053 70gr semi Spitzer SP bullet and Varget or AR-Plus powder. I use #41 Winchester NATO spec primers.
Never cared much for AR rifles, until I tried with heavier bullets. It is actually are very good hunting rifle.
It actually feels like a rifle, it is not light. And when I shoot it, there is more recoil than on 55gr ammo.
I have other hunting rifles.
I don’t think witness intimidation is going to work with these witnesses…this is the hard core MAGA crowd. They won’t budge and they - as in this report - will be named witnesses…no unnamed types.
” but many know that a criminal cabal has seized the US government.”
Bump
Many thanks.
Get stuffed, glowie troll.

I was listening to an interview of Scott Ritter who made what I thought was a good suggestion, which was that the House should commission an independent investigative body whose members would be made up of seasoned state LE officers selected by state governors. The idea would be to get the investigators and their control and influence out of the swamp and closer to the American people.
Okay. So the tighter snap-thumps could possibly be from a different source closer to the same shooter.
Planned...intentional...blown. The coverup is ongoing.
I still lean toward a loser being nudged into doing it and the protection team being accidentally on purpose just to late to respond. I think once the protection units realized it was too late, they were forced to take the kid out.
An excellent plan, I hope the House does this.
