'CRACK SHOT' I sat next to ‘evil’ Donald Trump shooter as he honed his ‘dead-eye’ gun skills on shooting range days before the attack

THE gunman who came within inches of assassinating Donald Trump honed his shooting skills on a range just days before the attack....Bill Jenkins, who has spoken to the FBI, told The Sun on Sunday: “I was sitting next to evil. I haven’t been able to sleep thinking about it.”

Crooks, who brought his own 9mm handgun, was such a crack shot on the elite training course that he blew a large hole in a shooting target with a volley of precision rounds....

...Bill and Crooks had signed up to the intermediate handgun-pistol 2 class at Keystone ­Shooting Centre in Cranberry, Pennsylvania, on June 22.

The range is a 50-minute drive from Crooks’ home in Bethel Park.

Keystone’s website says the course is the next level of handgun training...

It appears Clairton Sportsmen’s Club wasn't the only gun club that the assassin frequented. Clairton was a 25 min drive from his home, Keystone 50 min drive.

And earlier reports said Crooks was a lousy shot.

His high school didn’t have a shooting club; that was in an early report also.

Crooks wasn’t using a hand gun last Saturday.

That said, he certainly had plenty-o-training on the rifle side.

Too bad he wasn’t working southern Gaza.

He was not a good shot or PDJT would be dead. He fired 4 to 8 times

Like I told my daughter who just can’t believe it was a setup, and she mentioned that:
OK he was bad as a sophomore or junior, it’s been 3-4 years since then. How do you get better at something? Practice. He spent time at the range and got better.

I think Crooks got 5 shots off.

Trump’s ear was the first shot of all ‘till the Deep State put him down with #8 some seconds later.

.

Crooks thought Trump supporters were stupid.

He told a kid he briefly hung around with that very thing. He thought he was stupid for supporting Trump.

I can’t help but wonder that if the SS wanted to be in on the shooting, the SMARTEST thing they could do is act in a way that looked totally inept. By looking that way, it gave them their best chance of avoid criminal charges.

You could be right. I read different numbers.

I am very glad he missed. I am sorry the two others were hit

It’s entirely possible that the agents were the insurance to ensure the death of Trump.

It is better to be thought of as incompetent than to be thought of as a participant of evil. You have to prove intent and it’s a lesser criminal charge if something happened because you were neglectful than if the prosecution could prove that you were a traitor.

You’ll lose your job by being incompetent, but you’ll avoid prison or only acquire a minimal sentence if you are convicted of something.

My understanding is that spies are taught to be stupid when they are captured to try and throw off any idea that they might be spies.

Did the guy notice if Crooks’ text messages on his phone were in Farsi? Foreign based encryption may have stopped that. Translation may have hidden his communications with Iran.
(Kidding)

3 others.

But yeah, there are some pretty compelling reviews of the audio from a couple of videos recorded contemporaneously on site.

I’m gonna guess that there are many more videos where the audio could be extracted and analysed.

In some short time, things should be pretty clear.

Like “truth is the first casualty of war” we had stories of where he bought a ladder, that there already was a ladder at the building and now there was no ladder.

And he was just a nondescript student or he was constantly bullied every day.
Now he was eighter not good enough for the gun club or a crack shot who would make Annie Oakley give up shooting.

I don’t want this to drift away like the JFK mystery.

Oh Yeah, no shortage of [as yet] unidentified “public servants” who have some ‘splainin’ to do.

I’m pretty sure there is no one about these daze who is better than Annie Oakley was.

Certainly not as famous/prominent at this point in time.
