>> I do not believe it was possible for a “2nd shooter” sniper to be on top of that water tower on J13
What about half-way up the tower? And does the line-of-sight line up with trajectory forensics? What about analyzing the bullet vapor stream(s) caught on the pro cameras which could certainly help to estimate distance to the gun — assuming the bullets haven’t been discarded for determination of the round type.
What about a Republican nominee for President?
And I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how this punk kid knew exactly what building to hide his ladder and gun at before the rally started. Out of all the buildings in that area, gee whiz, what luck that he should pick the one building that wasn't covered. He must have been a super genius to be able to read the minds of the secret service and the cops

The letter says investigation reveals that the kid did not bring a ladder, but climbed onto an air conditioner to reach the roof. The Congressman said he tested that himself and had no problem.
But still, the kid had to know the air conditioner was the right height for him to reach that ideal firing location and that no one would be on the roof or would stop him. He had reason to assume that normally there would be someone on the roof, and those watching him would stop him before he fired.
“the Butler County ESU Commander personally reminded the USSS counter-sniper teams to pick
up their assigned radios at the ESU Command Post RV, which was positioned according to planning
at the Butler Fairgrounds, the following morning before 1100 hrs. It didn’t happen.”
This is inexcusable. Every member of that team should be summarily fired and lose all pension benefits they may have. Criminal prosecution for malfeasance of duty should be on the table.

(But still, the kid had to know the air conditioner was the right height for him to reach that ideal firing location and that no one would be on the roof or would stop him.)
He did surveillance with his drone hours earlier and did surveillance on the 8th. He probably flew his drone in and scoped out the ac units. As for him knowing no one would be on the roof concludes he had inside information about the perimeter set up. I believe he was getting information from a fed at the shooting range he had been visiting 43 times up until the day before on the 12th.
Yes, this is all suspicious as hell. And did you see the video of him walking back and forth on that roof with Trump in the foreground? This video was taken by someone in the audience at ground level and none of these snipers saw him? And then the ridiculous excuse by Kim Cheatle that they couldn’t see him because the roof was angled. Well even from the ground they could see him! She lied!

Yes. I think the FBI groomed him. They probably scoped out roof access and told the kid to use the AC units. Kid flew his drone and saw them, the roof etc. The FBI gave him promises - wonder how that conversation went. They knew he would die - he didn't.

Yes. And if the story is that snipers could't see him, then why did they set up with massive blind spots in the most critical areas? Kim Cheatle also said there were no snipers on that roof because it was 'angled'. She makes use of that slightly sloped roof that no one had problems walking around on once the shooter there was dead.
They want to completely erase this event, and they’re probably going to succeed.
Did the Secret Service ever determine how many free shots an assassin gets at a Republican candidate? I know that it’s zero for a dem.
That’s the best explanation.
They had counter snipers there to take Crooks out.
The SS guys on the ground may have been on it. I say this because why would they stand down.
The counter sniper takes Crooks out in 5 seconds? BS. He had the guys on his dies the whole time.
(They knew he would die - he didn’t.)
Bingo! Also you know there’s security footage of him on the shooting range, as well as him walking in Lowe’s to buy a ladder. Then there has to be security footage of him buying ammo at the sporting goods store that morning. Parking lot surveillance should show if he’s driving the van or his Hyundai Sonata.
The bullets were all from the same rifle.
Unlikely anyone was on the tower itself or the landing as it would be impossible to set up.
Wanted to say that the counter sniper had Crooks in his sites the whole time,

• The water tower ladder was never lowered that day. Two local cops, non-ESU officers, were assigned
to be parked in the water tower area as “response” units for traffic issues or whatever. They DID leave
that post, but only in the hour prior to shooting.
• There are videos on the internet showing a dark figure or a shadow on the water tower on J13. If there
had been someone on that tower on J13, it would have to have been some top-shelf operator way
beyond anything I’ve ever actually seen. Regular SWAT operators or snipers would not have the skills
and gear to quickly overcome the first 25 feet of no ladder and then climb the remaining 75 feet to the
catwalk, and then climb the quite intimidating and precarious dome vent access ladder. It is true that
the vent area at the very top of the water tower is the only point that would have allowed a clear line
of sight to both Trump and Crooks’ firing position. I sighted out this fact very carefully during my
hours on the ground at the Butler Farm/AGR/ water tower crime scene area. However, I do not
believe it was possible for a “2nd shooter” sniper to be on top of that water tower on J13, nor have I
seen any evidence that supports the theory of a 2nd shooter. I’m not saying conclusively that there
was no other shooter somewhere or that no other conspirators were involved in J13, but I’m saying
that based on my investigation thus far, there were 10 shots fired on J13, and all shots are accounted
for, and all shots align with their source. Crooks’ 8 shots (3 plus 5), ESU SWAT 1 shot, USSS
southern sniper team 1 shot. Over.
• I will be allowed to climb the tower at some point, perhaps next month, but it’s quite a climb. The
Butler County Water Works directors were very concerned about accommodating my climb, although
they did agree to a later date. I’ll have to return when I can coordinate with their safety team because
we just ran out of daylight, but Butler County Water Works was cooperative, and I got a very close
look at the water tower on Monday, August 5.
• The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won't be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle, but I'm 99% sure, based upon reliable eye-witness ESU tactical officers who observed Crooks’ rifle before the FBI harvested it as evidence. This means that if his AR buffer tube was damaged, Crooks’ rifle wouldn't fire after his 8th shot.
• Crooks “went down” from his firing position when shot 9 was fired, and the SWAT officer was certain of his hit. According to the ESU SWAT operator, Crooks recovered after just a few seconds, and “popped back up”.
• The 10th (and, I believe, final) shot was fired from the southern counter-sniper team. I will not be 100% certain of this until further investigation. However, I am quite sure that the USSS southern counter-sniper team fired the killing shot, which, according to my investigation, entered somewhere around the left mouth area and exited the right ear area. Instant over. This entry-exit aligns with USSS southern counter-sniper team position.
You have to read this report. It’s not that long. any questions remain,
Looks like two counter snipers took Crooks out.
The first one in the grandstand area shot first and hit Crook’s rifle stock, not killing him, but rendering the rifle inoperable at that point.
Counter sniper 2 on the roof behind Trump took Crooks out, (10th shot).
I so not see any actual questioning of either of these counter snipers,
Did they NOT see Crooks at any time? Were they indeed told to stand down and not shoot?
Many suspicious activity by FBI. They remove the crime scene, cremate the body, no autopsy report.
Higgins is going this on his own, so I guess he’s not getting access,
appreciated
my only interest concerns the effective elevation and bearing from the mid-tower. How one might get to that position is irrelevant.
Report early was local sniper was denied permission to shoot twice and shot anyway, was arrested by FBI and questioned for hours post event... yes a badass! ... ymmv...
