The sub story that both agents manning the second floor window left to search for the threatening people, leaving their post wide open, and Trump on the stage just doesn’t hold water. I just don’t believe these folks could be this incompetent.

Then the SS director stonewalls, and will not answer any questions with any certainty, except “there was no conspiracy”. And the FBI director smiles while he lies and says he did not notice that Joe was cognitively impaired?

Oh my gosh, what a corrupt mess our government is!

Any blue ribbon commission of politicians with equal numbers of repubs and demos will take months and just be one more coverup.

From the podium Fox microphone Trump was using there is very useful audio. There is the sonic crack of the bullets as they passed near the microphone followed by the boom of each shot. The speed of sound is less than the speed of the bullet so the estimation of bullet speed and the time between the sonic crack and the rifle report gives data to give a good estimate of the shooter's distance. All eight of the first shots had the same time between "crack" and "boom" giving an estimate of about 140 yards to the shots.

The first three shots sounded different from the following five shots. The first three had a more muffled "boom" and the rate of fire was slower which may indicate aim reacquisition between shots. The following five shots had a sharper "boom" and were very rapid. Like a spray and pray set of shots. When one of the first LEO was on the roof looking around now deceased Crooks and the gun, his body cam records him counting spent brass....1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Measuring on an overhead photo, the window I remember being open on the 2nd floor of the building behind Crooks, and about 20 yards left when viewed from the podium (the yellow line in the image, Crooks position is the Red line), was almost exactly the same distance from the stage as Crooks' position on the roof. The spacing of the crack-boom of the first three shots could have come from inside the 2nd floor room and backed across the room so the SS counter snipers would not have an angle to see them.
