Report: Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump Gets Worse
Independent Sentinel ^ | August 19, 1024 | M. Dowling

Posted on 08/19/2024 11:40:39 AM PDT by iontheball

A police sniper potentially saved lives by shooting the rifle out of the hands of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin. It knocked him down, an investigation says.

According to a report by Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins, the sniper’s bullet damaged Thomas Matthew Crooks’s gun and disrupted his aim after he took his first shots in Butler, Pennsylvania. Moments later, a Secret Service sniper killed him.

According to US media, the report comes as the Secret Service temporarily reassigns some bodyguards from President Joe Biden to Trump.

Who wants Biden’s agents???

“After 28 seconds, he was fatally shot by a Secret Service sharpshooter.”

Only AFTER Trump was shot and went down!! Bastards wanted to make sure first before they permanently silenced Crooks.

Like a 1950s western? Shooting the gun out of the bad guy’s hand?

Are they just prepping for the evidence that there were more gunmen active that day than they originally claimed? How about that water tower? Where’s Yearick?

Good Find!

The article is quite accurate and reasonably well written for easy understanding.

Unfortunately, the Independent Sentinel page format is difficult to edit for posting.

Still, well worth the read.

You have it absolutely right. The SS sat on their scopes waiting - and hoping - Crooks would succeed and when the whole plot went to hell, they silenced the perp.

And this.

FR thread-——Secret Service probing allegations that agent left her post at Trump rally in North Carolina to breastfeed

By using the trigger word “breastfeed” they are baiting observers, trying to make this
an untouchable offense.........will smugly label complainants misogynists and anti-family.


At all levels the S/S did nothing to prevent a major security breach.


Why has this tax-paid, Atlanta-based S/S agent not been fired?
<><>she abandoned her post and willfully by-passed security,
<><>she created a dangerous security breach
<><>she endangered a presidential victim of an assassination attempt
<><>she aided and abetted uncredentialled individuals into a secure area.
<><>she was on duty, salaried by taxpayers, to protect a president,
<><>yet the S/S agent irresponsibly engaged in highly personal business.


Call Congress.
<><>If you know your rep, use website contact forms.
<><>Clerk of the House has addresses/phones of House members and Committees.
<><>Or call (202) 224-3121, the US House switchboard operator.
<><>mention state and zip for quick connection.

Moments later, a Secret Service sniper killed him.

Moments? B..S!   Try 10 seconds later!

The shooter on the AGR roof should have been taken out in the first 6 seconds by both sharpshooters. And the Butler SWAT guy apparently had the far more difficult shot, when the shooter was at his of hiding himself!

Why the big delay?

And the next week Biden dropped out of the race.
There are no coincidences in American politics. Joe failed at taking out Trump, and he had to do what avoids charges.

The Butler Police Swat operator's projectile struck Crooks AR rifle stock and buffer tube while Crooks had the rifle shouldered and his eye aligned with the telescopic sight.

Fragments of the stock injured Crooks' cheek and face, delaying his ability to continue to fire his rifle.

a Secret Service counter sniper killed him before he could resume fire, IF his rifle still remained functional.

Don't know the answers to the rest of your questions.

That would explain why they are sitting on the coroner’s report. Trying to explain and make sense of all the damage to the body must have given rise to some major head scratching.

Probably aiming for the head but got the rifle.

I personally believe the FBI and SS are sitting on reports and destroying evidence because that information would reflect devastatingly on both FBI and SS Agencies, ending many careers in prison.

However, I have no proof.

The general public does have access to photographic proof, and timeline recordings, that show the Butler Swat operator's shot did injure Crooks as described, and the SS counter sniper did fatally injure him with a head shot.

How would the “government” be acting any differently if this was an engineered hit of sorts.

Answer: There would be no difference.

The Biden will not attend the remainder of the convention after Joe’s farewell speech tonight.

Multiple U-Haul trucks spotted at the White House today. Who is moving out or in?

All the videos and reports on the events indicate security agents had their eyes on Crooks for some time. We know of the two center stage to the right had a clear shot at Crooks, as well as this cop who shot Crooks’ gun.

Probably others as well.

So the question is - why? Why were SS agents - and probably local LEO’s - standing around looking at Crooks - waiting for him to fire?

IF they ever release an autopsy report - you can be sure it will be state whatever the FIB wants it to say.

In the meantime - a fair, unbiased indepent autopsy should be completed.

Oh wait. That can't happen. The FIB done cremated the body.

I’ve always questioned why the rifle was further away from Crooks body. Now we know.
