New video from sniper nest BEHIND Trump Shooter Thomas Crooks

New video from inside the window of the sniper nest BEHIND and very close to the Trump Shooter. This window is referenced in previous video taken on the rooftop after the shooter is killed. The snipers must have easily seen the shooter access the roof and prepare to shoot.

New video from window: https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1816818248727306406

Previous video from rooftop (window referenced about 20 seconds in): https://x.com/MattWallace888/status/1815885071800275306

There were officers on the ground who should have been called into dealing with the suspicious person. Why would countersnipers leave a lookout post and their assigned watch duties to go after someone on the ground? The most innocent thing it could be was that communication between agencies was close to non-existant and they couldn’t get another officer to check him out.

The biggest danger was if he attained the roof, and he had been seen checking out the roof.

Did they think he was an autistic high school photographer? Bad optics shooting a geeky kid.

How and when did he get the rifle on the roof? Or did he just find it therre?

For 8 years those running corrupt government have done everything to Trump but assassinate him. This is not even debatable.

Now we have an assassination attempt. This is not complex, or a happenstance or a coinkydink. It’s pretty much in our faces.

There are forces running circles around the deep state, and there are things beyond those forces we can’t understand but are controlled by God.

130 yards is not that hard of a shot. I could make that with iron sights.

I could too on a paper target. But with a proper trigger squeeze you don't know exactly when the trigger will break, and about a 0.15 second bullet travel time, and variable wind gusts, and Trump was moving his head. The first shot is the only one of the first eight that would have been done with proper shooting form and that one is what hit Trump in the ear. If they were shooting M193 rounds, that is only a 1.5-2.0 MOA round. So, if everything added up right I can see them missing. If Trump had not moved his head when he did, he would have been killed.

Notice how quickly all those "agents" head for the hills when the camera falls on them?

The Bucks Co. snipers that were stationed in this 2nd floor room failed to see Crooks on the roof they were supposed to be observing. Besides playing footsie, did they bother to contact the SS to let them know that one of their snipers was going home early? Did they bother to notify the SS that there was a report of a suspicious looking character in their vincinty, so the SS could send one of their own to check it out? They were assigned to the building, not to roam around the grounds. They obviously weren't even looking out the windows, allowing Crooks to crawl up onto the roof, and slowly making his way up the slope, set up his weapon, take aim and fire.

Did they even have the windows open that day? You would think so since they bitched it was too hot on the roof. And how stupid do you have to be to first of all, leave the building, failing to follow the last order given you to stay in the building, and then to forget the card to get yourself back into the building? Guess he never stayed in a hotel before. Sheer incompetence, and a group of dumb f*ck-ups.

First the excuse was the roof was too hot so the team tasked with protecting this dream sniper perch went inside to the second floor. Despite three men at post with several windows facing directly out on the high risk dream perch, they alls left their post just as Crooks became visible and took his shooting position. I’m not buying this ridiculous made up BS story for a minute. Who were these subverters and traitors? So the story of the 2nd floor window ends there, nothing more to see or say. Why was the window glass cranked out on this window? What was the guy on top of the water tower doing? This is beyond incredulous.

Sean Parnell was on War Room today and he had a couple great segments relating to this — the escalation of “getting Trump”.

The Deep State would not have missed.

They used a volunteer recruited from a partner organization. That was for "plausible deniability" and to promote the story of a "lone wolf gunman". But people aren't buying that stuff anymore.

They won't bother with that kind of deception the next time they make a move. They will use a professional hit team from some foreign corporation or criminal organization. They won't even try to hide that it was a conspiracy. They will try to blame the project on somebody else.

But they will still need critical insiders on the security team to look the other way at the right time. That won't be quite as easy as this most recent project.

Unintended Consequences:

My guess is that the next successful assassination will be of a Democrat politician, and the conspirators will be an extremist Left faction that is losing out in some backroom deal. They will make a very clumsy attempt to make it look like Trump supporters did this, but the look will not hold up.

The Democrats have established that public support for assassination of political opponents is now acceptable. That will turn around and bite them very badly.

The very first report I heard on the weapon said it was .22 LR round. Then for no reason it changed to .223 later in the day.

Keep in mind really gross incompetence would look like a planned conspiracy.

There are at least six audio files being analyzed by private citizens. The Fox microphone audio on the speaker platform recorded the sonic crack of the bullets passing nearby and the “boom” report of the gun(s) later, for the first eight shots. The approximate bullet velocity and the slower speed of sound for the gun report were used to establish pretty close approximate distances for the eight shots. There was another shot by a Pennsylvania LEO using a handgun to shoot at Crooks from a distance and then the counter sniper shot was last.

The other five audio recordings were from cell phones at different locations. the difference in time of arrival of the rifle report “boom” at each different location can be used to mathematically triangulate on the location of each shot. It actually only takes three audio locations to triangulate, but five is really great. There may be evidence that Secret Service and Dept of Homeland Security cannot refute.

this is good to know.

hope they can pin it down

It is getting a bit absurd how many videos there are of this guy... seems like everyone except the SS knew about him.

It's odd isn't it? I wonder if the bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the MSM would have glossed over this information if the target had been Biden or Harris instead of Trump?

The DeepState would have used an expert professionally trained sniper, one who would not have missed.

The assassination of a former President is too critical to employ an amateur.

The same Deep State led by Joe Biden?

From what I read, a typical AR-15 can shoot a .22LR.

My minimal plinking experience suggests that a shot's accuracy can start to get a bit tricky at distances beyond 100 yards. The Crooks shot was said to be about 140 yards, you'll recall. I'm no expert, but a .22LR sounds like definitely a not-so-serious choice.

Though most have presumed Crooks's gun had a scope, the images I've been able to glean don't necessarily belie anything beyond iron sights. But I'd have to say my images are inconclusive on both a scope and/or a laser sight (See below). If that's right, and since Crooks didn't go through any branch's military boot camp, it would have been a very skilled or lucky shot to hit PDJT's head with that weapon and load.

If Crooks was a serious and skilled shooter, and for the "shots of his life," why would he not have had a scope? Daddy paid for everything? Why not spring for a laser sighting device as readily as you plunk down the $79, 5.5' ladder--admittedly on the card?

If he'd chosen a laser sighting device, wouldn't there be a some risky chance as he settled in, that PDJT would catch the laser light out the corner of his eye? It just might make him flinch, no?

So he had a range finder? Was that range finder version for golfing or the shooting range? Was that just lying somewhere in the Max Yearick van?
