The New York Times used drone photography to build a 3-D model and recreate the lines of sight for both the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and three teams of countersnipers — two federal and one local. The analysis shows that Mr. Crooks, 20, who appears to have flown a drone to survey the site the morning of the rally, exploited one of the few blind spots within a rifle’s range of Mr. Trump, raising questions about serious lapses in security planning for the event.
This is the line of sight that one of two Secret Service teams most likely had just minutes before Mr. Crooks opened fire.
The gunman was largely concealed by two trees and the slope of a warehouse building roof, which he used as his perch. The warehouse complex, owned by AGR International, was outside the Secret Service’s designated security perimeter, the agency later said.
The Times captured its own drone footage three days after the shooting..

The Butler shooter had an insurmountable edge over the counter snipers
He had a subscription to the Secret Service assassin’s assistance concierge service
The advantage was that Trump’s protection was set up to fail.
“put Trump in the bulls-eye,” ...joe
cspan 2 has a hearing from the Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner in DC, very interesting.
How he had an EDGE???
He was ALLOWED in to do what he was sent there to do.
The snipers were just clean-up, whether knowingly or not.
They were there to be Jack Ruby.
I always go to the NYT first for authoritative information on snipers.

What about the humps in the building behind the shooter 12 feet above. They couldn’t look out the window and shoot him?
What about the water tower 100 yrds to the east and 100 feet in the air?
Seems like a great place for overwatch.
Why is no one talking about that ?
Because you patronize fake news instead of Alex Jones/Infowars because you believe what fake news says about him.
Edge? Seriously?
An eyewitness has stated that gov’t snipers were in the windows in the 2 story building behind Crooks, they watched him crawl onto the roof and start shooting. YES, let me repeat....and eyewitness, less than 50 feet from BOTH Crooks and the snipers in the windows behind Crooks, said he watched the snipers watching Crooks as he OPENED FIRE. AND THEY DID NOTHING. THe snipers were part of the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit- ONE OF THEM had a ‘sleeve’ tatto0. THe one with the tatoo was one of the first to get to Crooks after the shooting starts. There is a public photo of the tattooed sniper standing over Crooks dead body on the roof..
I see a clear line of site from the western portion of the building behind the supposed shooter and that looks a more believable angle of the bullet flight to pass Trump’s head right when he turned and still clip his ear.
the supposed shooter looks to be in a place that is straight at Trump’s right side head

Go to the 29:00 minute mark in this video link and watch the eyewitness, less than 50 ft away, tell you in his own words how he watched snipers BEHIND and ABOVE Crooks DO NOTHING as Crooks opens fire on Trump and the crowd. This is the proof the secret service was in on it.
This sniper team needs to be looked at. They were in prime position to either stop the shooter, or something else, and then first on the roof where the dead shooter was, and where 8 shell casing were then found...
.
He was flying drones, openly checking ranges, and scoping the counter-smiper positions.
In broad light and clear skies.
Nothing to see here
Yea, the guy that got shot in the head had an edge over the countersnipers. Right......
OK, sure. Crooks had a clear line of sight to get into position on the sloped roof, get into position with a rifle and scope to aim at Trump’s head, then shoot three/five shots at Trump. But the SS snipers who killed Crooks with a head IMMEDIATELY after those three/five shots were “out of position” and were shot from a position where the poluce and SS snipers “could not see Crooks.”
Yeah. Right. Sure. Obviously.
I’m confident this was a setup and hitjob on Trump.
