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???

The attempted (hoped to be successful) assassination of President Trump is such a World affecting event that an Honest Government would act to preserve ALL evidence for as long as humanly possible, to aid in the complete investigation of all facets and connections to the incident.

Any other action is dishonest for those that that take it.

There are no exceptions.

“Call Congress.”

And why the hell would you do that? They’re useless.

I read that the Cop who hit the rifle was shooting from the ground, the SS sniper apparently hit the perp in the head, I believe.

Previous news said only one round was fired by the SS and killed him instantly.

Now two rounds?

What are the facts?

>>Good find

Just watched the J13 video again of the SWAT officer running up on the ground and taking a standing shot at Crooks (?), raising his fist to indicate a hit.

Range may have been 70-80 yards.

28 seconds. The shooter murdered one and critically injured two besides Trump. This coulda been a horrible mass shooting. What were the SS thinking? 🤔

“Why the big delay? “
The roof top SS sniper team was ducking from shots fired from the trees.

The ‘icing’ on that cake is the Cheatle Congress Stonewall act. After continuing successfully not answering Congress’ questions Director Cheatle resigns/retires and THEN is given a Secret Service protection detail by demented Joe.

Perhaps they were waiting for a positive hit before getting rid of the witness.

I am not able to post links via phone.

There are at least two posted vids from different cell phones.

Best search is: Butler SWAT Takes Out Trump Shooter.

Thanks for the additional info, Deaf.

As I said, there are pictures and video available to the general public that show physical images of projectile strikes and results.

Much less so for clarification of motives or associations.

Post #35 has one of the vids.

Another vid is from a person on the backside of the stage running to the sound of the gunfire.

The shooter can clearly be seen from the start of that vid.

I don’t think we got one factual answer from the clown show from the FIB director or the SS acting director. The whole thing stinks. Trump better have his own security watching over the government clown show. They cannot be trusted
