Ken Silva, Headline USA) Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher L. Paris testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday about the July 13 assassination attempt against presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
Unlike the now-former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle—who resigned Tuesday after refusing to answer a bevy of basic questions the day before—Paris’s testimony revealed new info about what happened leading up to the shooting at the Butler, Pa., Trump rally.
One of the more shocking revelations from Paris’s testimony was his claim that Butler County Emergency Services Unit counter snipers were stationed with a view from the rooftop where alleged shooter Thomas Crooks fired at Trump.
Those counter snipers were pulled from their positions to search for Crooks after identifying him as a suspicious person around 5:14 p.m., according to Paris. The shooting occurred at 6:11 p.m. It’s not clear exactly when the snipers left their post.

Problem is that the deep state finds themselves only halfway to their goal. So, do they throw everything behind Kamala and just hope for the best or take another crack at Trump?

Pay attention to the timeline. When the Commies assassination plot failed, they immediately panicked and knew then that Biden had to go for sure. If they had succeeded, Biden would have stayed on because Republican chaos would ensued. Obviously the screw up attempt on Trump would make a second attempt much more suspect, but I wouldn’t put it past them if Kamala crashes and burns.
Bkmk
They were at a window that had a full view of the roof. They could have jumped out of that window onto the roof. I saw a video of it yesterday but can't remember where I saw it.
Yes that’s the one. I knew it was on X but couldn’t remember how I got there.
Where exactly where these 'good guys' ?
That would be really kind of dumb if everyone left their posts to look for the threat while leaving DJT without warning, to take the stage.
How can there be no recording of SS and Butler police communications? Audio recorders are so cheap today! What is the rationale for this? Are police communications normally recorded? Is the SS communications channel encrypted and normally recorded?
Do the investigators have a list of the SS agents on duty? The Butler police are being transparent, where the SS leadership is arrogant and secretive. The SS will make the agents disappear just like the Benghazi victims did.
More and more, it sounds like an inside job.
Or total incompetence. Either way, it’s bad.
At the eight second mark there appears to be some sort of attachment to the building that could be used to access the roof. It’s not a ladder, but perhaps it could have been used as one.
Agreed. It looks like it could be used as a ladder. There’s an A/C unit right below it.
Some news articles say Crooks is believed to have gotten onto the roof by climbing onto an A/C unit.
Some news articles even say he might’ve hid the rifle behind the A/C unit.
If all that is true, then he picked up the rifle and climbed onto the roof - right in front of the window where the counter-snipers were supposed to be?
Amazing — but not in a good way.
To All:
Now, the Butler County DA is disputing the statement made by the PA State Police Colonel to Congress.
He says the police never left their post:
At 4:40, he also says the local police, state police, and Secret Service each had their own radios, and they could not communicate with each other.

The obfuscation is now in high gear as to what was going on at the second story window. We know the DA is wrong because the video taken out the second floor window puts the entire lower roof in view, if ones looks slightly on a slant to the left out the window. Furthermore, there is a door and maybe another window on the end of the of same 2 story building that would provide yet another vantage point on the shooter’s roof. The DA story tells me that the second floor is where the action was and the window to focus on.
A shooter would have an unobstructed view of Trump from that window?
There is just no excuse for police on site who could not instantly contact with the SS. This is just mind boggling malfeasance. Couldn’t they have just have called 911?
More and more, it sounds like an inside job.

I cannot in good faith believe they could possibly be this incompetent.
How could the police and the SS be working together for security, when seconds can make a difference between life and death, without a plan to communicate via radio? If their radios are not compatible, can’t they use cell phones? Sign language? Semaphores? Bright flashing lights? Yell really loud?
This is just so screwed up it cannot be merely an accident. Someone needs to lose their government pension over this and finish their career at WalMart.
I agree with both of you. It is mind boggling.

Just not plausible.
And Chris Wray has the gall to state Trump “might not have been injured by a bullet, but by shrapnel”. My gosh. What was the point he was making.
This event is pegging my sinister meter!

The Dems want to brush off the assassination attempt, as if it was no big deal.
One man was killed. Two were seriously injured. Trump was nearly killed.
But, the Dems want to shrug it off as “just an ear.”
