The Secret Service identified the rooftop next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania event as a security vulnerability days before the rally according to a new report by NBC News.
The agents failed to secure the building so a man with a rifle was able to climb up to the roof, position his scope, and fire several shots at President Trump.
A bullet grazed Trump’s right ear. Two rally attendees were wounded. One Trump supporter was fatally shot.
President Trump told former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson that a last millisecond head tilt saved his life after a gunman opened fire on him from an elevated position at his Pennsylvania rally.

Did the shooter think (a) he could get away? Or (b) was it a planned suicide? If a, who helped him? If b, who helped him?
It’s confirmed that the police were also aware of the shooter and that a police officer actually went on the roof to confront the shooter but retreated when the shooter pointed the rifle at him.
so all the officer had to do was warn him to put the rifle down or he would shoot?
Sounds to me like that would be the normal course of law enforcement.
Also why wasn’t he/she on their communications to warn I’m on this roof, need backup, identified shooter here.
All so fishy, Big lawsuit coming , and righfully so from the deceased firemans family.
They need to name Biden in it to drive home the point of what he has done to the agencies...
Yeah, but DEI!
They could have just picked a random patriot from the crowd and asked him to get his handgun from the car and secure the roof.
I believe the sharpshooters on the nearby roof had the shooter in their sights but were denied authority to fire a preemptive kill shot by a higher authority. Will be instructive to see what the “investigation” uncovers or will it be another Warren cover-up?
* the president’s main SS detail was pulled off to protect FLOTUS
* no eyes or sniper up in the water tower
* ROE for police were they cannot shoot until assassin fires first
* police officer had assassin in his scope for up to three minutes
* the building where the assassin stationed himself had been identified as security risk days before but was left unprotected
* ladder to roof conveniently in place
* a nobody loner-loser just happens to select that building
“the responsibility to pick the most reliable local/state snipers and coordinate them with the overall plan still rests with the Secret Service.”
Absolutely right. The notion of split duties split between local police and SS and are uncoordinated is laughable. The idea that a rooftop that close to the president is not secured is laughable. The notion that the SS only has body-coverage responsibility and not overall command is ridiculous.
Exactly. If all of us armchair sleuths can connect these dots…
The whole thing sounds like a Keystone Kops episode.
That tape will never be released. Garland has already destroyed it.
Officer: “Target acquired. Permission to take out threat?”
Command Ops: “Permission denied. Do not fire.”
Officer: “Threat is real and imminent. Permission to fire?”
Command Ops: “Denied.”
Who found and recruited him?
Especially in a hick town of Butler, PA.
The officer just climbed up on the roof, let the assassin get the drop on him, and retreated? Fishy as hell.
“Another Warren Commission is being assembled as we speak.”
We got the world’s finest president, Gerald Ford, and the world’s finest senator, Arlen Specter out of that monstrosity.
No need for an elaborate coverup and misdirection and cya. Times have changed, those responsible will be protected, there will be zero accountability, and the only response will be finger pointing. Just look to the Ashley Babbit murder for instruction on how this will evolve.

So true. All the talk is about J6 participants, when in fact the only fatal incident involved the shooting of an unarmed women.
channel 11 nbc sacramento reported that it was his high-school bus buddy that went to ASU, Phoenix; shooter went to Allegheny CC and graduated Allegheny 2 months ago. Maybe there was a trip to Phoenix over the summer to see his high school friend?
Medieval foam noodle larping morphed in some groups into antifa zombie survivalist training which includes going out to the desert for live round target practice (Phoeniz Zombie walk in Oct draws people from across the southwest). Did shooter participate in any such activity?
There could be no quick getaway with the van parked a distance away. But there was a reason for explosives in the van. Was the van Plan B or a part of Plan A - did someone chicken out of driving the van into a fleeing rally crowd after Trump was shot? Is high-school friend involved or perhaps an accomplice from AZ that would explain the van?
How does one have a bus buddy if you're allegedly bullied all the time?
You may be right about an accomplice, but will the FBI ever let that be known? Perhaps only after Trump is back in office, and getting this crap uncovered finally.
I read it was after President Trump had been acquitted in his first impeachment. The Arizona article about the screamer was dated February 6th. Trump was acquitted the day before.
