Rooftop where gunman shot at Trump was identified as a security vulnerability before rally: sources
Nbc ^

Posted on 07/14/2024 4:55:59 PM PDT by janetjanet998

The rooftop where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally was identified by the U.S. Secret Service as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event, two sources familiar with the agency’s operations told NBC News.

The building, owned by a glass research company, stands adjacent to the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with it, the sources said.

The SS sees a good vantage point for an assassin and decides to go ahead and not secure it.

The SS let their assassin fire off 8 rounds before blowing his head off to make certain that there was no inconvenient testimony from the assassin.

It seems I just read an article somewhere about our governments increasing predilection for murdering our own citizens. Pretty timely that.

There’s a realclearpolitics reporter on X saying most of Trump’s SS detail was moved to cover Jill Biden who happened to be in PA today so Trump got temp agents from various field offices. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1812547400596435424.html

Probably explains the three chunky gals almost bumping into each other in their confusion.

That’s typically what the SS advance team does. They sweep the venue and secure and cover locations determined to be security risks throughout the duration of the event.

How he got on top of that building is the question not being answered. A freeper on another thread said a ladder was left in the bush behind the building. That means it was all put in place before he got there. Was the rifle placed there as well, or did he walk into an area whose ingress and egress was supposed to be controlled, carrying a rifle? He wouldn't have likely carried a ladder as well. Was the ladder attached to the building already, or was it left on the ground for him to use?

There are many puzzling questions, that should have already been addressed. The longer it takes for simple questions like this to be answered by authorities, the more believable that this was an inside job.

“Rooftop where gunman shot at Trump was identified as a security vulnerability before rally...”

Everyone knew it...except the government.

This was a complete security failure.

So much so it appears to be a setup to eliminate Trump.

It is looking more and more like a deep state assassination attempt. Too many coincidences and violations of protocol, ignored warnings. Biden sitting in church at Mass while Trump is being executed., Very Godfather. He looked surprised that Trump survived when FJB got on the TV last night.

And in other DSNN (Deep State News Network) stories, Epstein totall still killed himself. Nothing to see here folks, just accept it.

And then what? Kinda looks like someone passed that info on to a handler or something.......Denmark exudes a strong odor of decomposition.

Interesting.

Do you have a pic of the actual shooter?

Maybe the guy in pic was the dupe?

Lots of (probably forever) unanswered questions, for sure.

“The SS let their assassin fire off 8 rounds before blowing his head off to make certain that there was no inconvenient testimony from the assassin.”

The sniper obviously had a clear view of this guy. What was he doing while the killer was crawling up the roof? Checking his phone?

A 20yo has no no social media footprint? Really?

There are too many problems with the narrative.

This. He was a useful idiot who thought he would be a hero. He didn’t realize his handlers were going to dispose of him.

Instead they put two snipers six feet apart on another roof
