Three snipers were stationed inside building used in Trump assassination attempt
CBS News ^ | 7/15/24 | Anna Shecter

There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday's shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.

The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.com.

One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News.

Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.

“The SS just looks more and more inept, corrupt or both every day that goes by.”

If you’ve ever seen the movie ‘Casino’, there’s this wonderful scene where the protagonist, gambler Ace Rothstein, tells a Nevada county commissioner why his his nephew was fired:

“I’m sorry, but he knew about our getting hit on three big machines in a row
and he did nothing about it.

“That means, either he was in on it or he was too dumb to see what was goin’ on.

“Either way, I cannot have a man like that working here.”

That’s what this whole episode of failure by our Secret Service reminds me of.

And of course the head of the Secret Service will skate, and no one is the chain of command will lose their job, because in a Democrat administration, the word “accountability” has no meaning.

Did you see how she was waiving her firearm around before she figured out how to holster it?

I'd probably get kicked out of my range for not being able to holster my weapon.

Like all unqualified incompetent Dems, they will blame others, point fingers and skate.

This entire affair will be “no comment, ongoing investigation” into oblivion.

Imagine you are a trained police sniper and you are intent on doing the best job you can. You go to this SS detail and start to set up on the roof and someone in charge tells you “no, INSIDE the building”. What would your first reaction be?

Cannot let this fall away. There are witnesses. Possible deep state assassination. Uniparty will seek to destroy any mention of more than one shooter. Grassy Knoll again.

An AR-15 is adequate, but would not be my weapon of choice. Odd pick just sayin’

*** Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. ***

I want to see this photo of Crooks.

This was a setup by the democrats to kill Trump. They were so bad at it they have left the clues of their crime everywhere.
New SS crew, check
No overview on f the performance meter, check
State police responsible for outer buildings, check
SS sniper delayed kill shot until he had fired, check

Im sure there are others. This was planned by Bidens team.

Many have said this and I think there is an element of truth to it. Counter snipers slacking off in the heat.

I do not know how to post pictures, but, the one with the group of FBI agents in civilian clothes, with the one looking back at the photographer, at a rally, should be photoshopped, with this Crook guy, with a rifle slung over his shoulder, standing with them, getting his instructions on where to go, when, how, etc.

It seems fitting, from all we are hearing about the actions of the SS, FBI, Police, etc.

Five people under oath and four questions will tell you which government agency is responsible. The SS sniper who took out the shooter, the individual who told him not to shoot Crooks for 20 minutes, one of the snipers inside the building and the individual the sniper says told him to not set up on the roof. The other two questions would be to the supervisor who was instructing the snipers. Why did you give those orders?
