Shocking New Details Reveal How Trump Shooter Evaded Secret Service And Cops THREE Times - With One Agent Even Taking A Photo Of Him
The Daily Mail ^ | 07/16/24

Posted on 07/16/2024 7:38:03 AM PDT by Enlightened1

A team of police snipers team saw Thomas Crooks scouting their command post three times in the minutes before he climbed on top of it and shot Donald Trump from just inches above their heads, it has emerged.

Three police marksmen from Beaver County were using the single-story AGR International building as their watch-post when the would-be assassin chose it as his place to shoot from, CBS reported.

And he may have been in place on the roof for up to 30 minutes before he unleashed his volley of shots that killed one man and nearly took the life of the 45th president on Saturday evening.

A law enforcement official told the channel said that no action was taken after one of the snipers first spotted Crooks looking up at the roof of the building in Butler, Pennsylvania, just 130 yards from where the president would speak.

The 20-year-old disappeared around a corner before he was seen a second time, sitting down and looking at his phone, prompting one of the snipers to take his picture.

There is a video at the link that appears the police officer is talking to the shooter, and they are looking at the roof.

 

A member of the public is seen talking with a police officer before the shots rang out, the building where Crooks was perched is to the right

“evaded?” What is this, a CNN article?

“Evaded” applies to taxes and prosecution. Not to “cooperated with”.

Local coppers should have been on the darned roof, like Uvalde coppers should have gone after the school shooter before he started murdering children.

This was a cooperative program. Someone in the DNC and WHouse commissioned this. Just like the church shooting by the tranny and covering up the Epstein island list.

Both the Secret Service and the local constabulary are looking more and more to either be in on this or just a bunch of Keystone Kops.

No worries, our Federal Bureau to Thwart Investigations (FBTI) is on it!

In fact, they’ve pretty much locked up all sources of information already.

No, there was only one LEO there and regulations require at least two to safely hold a ladder and the other LEO was on his union mandatory 15 minute break.

If the assassin leaned a ladder against the building why didn’t the cops climb the ladder?

..With One Agent Even Taking A Photo Of Him

OK, so where is this "photo" I keep hearing about. The only pictures I've ever seen was of the dead shooter, and he look nothing like the pictures of Crooks. However, this guy DEFINITELY looks like the dead shooter!

Starting in 2009, the civil service has binged on incompetent hires. This disaster was over a decade im coming. Bill Shipley, former DOJ prosecutor and current J6 defense lawyer, on what has wrecked the FBI since Obama’s tenure:


https://x.com/shipwreckedcrew/status/1808523900642640226
[Re the revelation this morning that an FBI Supervisor has come forward as a whistleblower to reveal that FBI management has been pushing out Agents deemed to have conservative — i.e., “Anti-Government” — political beliefs.
This is exactly in line what I have been saying here about the manner in which the FBI Agent work — and therefore management — turns over during a 25 year cycle.

Many of the Agents that have advanced into upper levels of management now were hired during the first Obama Administration.

The Bureau made a very obvious and impactful decision in its recruiting priorities. No longer were former military or state/local law enforcement agents the “preferred” candidates. The priority became reshaping the workforce to “look like society as a whole.”

College campuses were the recruiting grounds. Professional degrees in accounting, law, engineering were no longer valued above soft social science degrees.

Prior law enforcement or military experience in leadership was now an hindrance to FBI training for a new century.

What the whistleblower is reporting is the natural evolution of that. Those moving into upper management learned in college that conservatism is not a legitimate political viewpoint. It cannot be given equal space in society to liberal/progressive outlooks on societal problems.

So conservatives in the ranks of the FBI must be made to leave.]


It would be unsurprising if the Secret Service has undergone a similar purge, trading competence and relevant experience or knowledge for ideological compatibility. That may be at the root of its current dysfunction.

Was it their watch post or were they guarding it so he could use it?
