Sources: Law enforcement was searching for Thomas Crooks before he shot Trump
WTAE Channel 4 Pittsburgh ^ | 7/16/24 | Marcie Ciprian

Posted on 07/16/2024 6:13:01 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Pittsburgh's Action News 4 has learned from multiple sources that Thomas Crooks was spotted at the rally, photographed as suspicious and officers were actively looking for him when he made his way onto the roof and fired at former President Donald Trump.

Sources say the Secret Service was aware something was wrong, and the snipers were in position, but the pitch of the roof Crooks was on prevented them from seeing the 20-year-old until he moved to the peak and fired his weapon

Well it is Pennsylvania, home of the Keystone cops. Donald Trump had divine providence protecting him.

BS. Butler police and SS counter snipers had him in their sites for thirty minutes and were begging for permission to take him out.

If there had been a helicopter, or a drone, or an overwatch posted on the water tower, he would have been spotted.

Bitch be stupid.

The counter-sniper who shot the would-be assassin was arrested for doing his job.

The Command Center was the Secret Service, and their mission was clearly not to inconvenience the young lad.

Some enterprising reporter and a few excellent snipers needs to goto the Butler venue and validate if this is true or not. They need to put a man where Crooks fired and see if he was truly invisible to the snipers behind where Trump was speaking and shot. They also need to visit the water tower and analyze if that would have provided a better view for the security detail. The buildings are still there and they will prove to be the ultimate proof or debunking of the SS claims. And there ain’t anything the Biden regime can do to stop it.

If we wait for the government to investigate itself there will be no answers ever.

Source, please.

I've been wondering why he hasn't been all over the news. Has he been Epsteined already?

Biden said that the only thing that could get him out was an act of God. He is too stupid to realize that is exactly what happened. The power that you think you own is an illusion.

Erik Prince says there WAS a counter-sniper on the water tower, and that is who actually took out Crooks. Don’t know what evidence he uses to support that, but he says the kill shot was from 488 yards away.

I saw it on FR but don’t feel like spending a half hour looking for it.

Believe it or don’t. I don’t care.

The assassin figured out the right spot for his killshot. The FBI/Schutzstaffel/local police thought it was just too difficult to position someone there. Scorecard: Assassin 1, Public Security 0, We DO have such deep thinkers at the FBI and Schutstaffel, don’t we?

The first time he was reported he was caught walking around LOOKING AT THE ROOF. Then on the phone and then with a backpack and pulls out and uses a RANGEFINDER. After looking at the roof. Now hearing he was on the roof for 26 minutes. Nobody thought to look on the roof. And a cop peeked over and he pointed a gun at cop and he fell off ladder and hurt himself. He must have fell on his radio and broke it.
