“The Blackrock connections are not coincidental.”

^

Why?

Did Trump oppose Blackrock’s immense continuing acquisitions?

“or maybe something more sinister even???”

I’m going with “more sinister”...

That is what the deep state wants you to think. At best, this was criminal negligence. It also could be a deep state plot.

“...untrained DEA agents...”

The gal who couldn’t holster her pistol exposed a U.S. Treasury badge. Was she part of the newly-hired armed I.R.S. Agents?

“This isn’t some sophisticated international plot, this was a 20 year old kid that did this. We have to do better.”

^

There’s likely much more, but how many “kids” have an especially-encrypted phone, explosives knowledge, rifle-range membership, drones, offshore bank accounts, and an early link to Blackrock?

In that diagram from GE, there should be a third victim in the lower (southern) bleacher at the SE corner of the bleacher at the top row.

I have no idea when he was shot - I may have missed it as I was scrolling through the video of the sound analysis. But that guy surmises it was on the shot that hit Trump. If so, that would indicate a rising shot, with the shooter below Trump’s ear.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LouUbMYb7Bc&t=18s

A quick look at the Google Earth elevations. The building roofs don’t seem to show up which is odd. The parking lot by the shooter’s building is about elev. 1330’. Add 10’ for his position on the roof (estimated using the door, ~7’ tall) as a reference, so shooter at about 1340’ elev.

The ground where Trump was standing is at about 1339 ft. Add 3’ for the podium and 6’ to Trump’s ear is 1348 feet. So that would be a rising shot. However, if that one image with the line is actually the bullet - that would seem to be more horizontal.

Hmm - so 8’ taller than the shooter. So perhaps from the window of the 2-story building just northwest of the building? But then the azimuth’s would seem to be wrong to hit the three other people. And the hose for the equipment to the south.

I don’t know. It all is so complicated, lets just go with the one-shooter theory. That is so much easier.

This video may help with your discussion of the height and angle of the shots.

You could kill somebody with a drone. They do it in Ukraine all the time.

It is though Crooks was on a school field trip, running around the rally site, climbing on roofs, flying drones, popping off rounds.

Wow, best day ever ! it was as much fun as his CIA handler said it would be.

Yes, the Agency was obviously involved up their eyeballs, but this attempt takes on a much broader sweep with the financial market ‘speculators’ suggesting an undercurrent heads up gossip of pending harm to befall Trump. And then there is a 20 year kid who uses a drone to scout the area and uses encrypted phones for communications. Someone was coaching this guy and they were subverters most foul. Clearly there were a number of subverters involved which suggests that keeping a lid on the attempted assassination is unlikely, especially since some are LE officers operating under an oath to country. Then there is Bongino who may become the new SS director (fingers crossed), who will do his damndest to get to the bottom of this coup.

Sec service falls under DHS, so surely he didn’t say THAT. Dan often gets political things wrong, but surely he knows this basic security fact.
