Veteran who holds world record for longest confirmed sniper kill weighs in on Trump assassination attempt

A veteran whose team holds the world record for longest confirmed sniper kill claims Donald Trump's shooter 'had help' in his attempted assassination attempt.

Dallas Alexander, who spent 14 years in a sniper team for the Canadian military doing close protection for major world leaders including the Canadian prime minister, suggested in a video Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, who opened fire at the former president's rally Saturday night, may have had help from the inside.

'I'm very familiar with the layout of these types of things and what the job should be, and yesterday what happened,' he said.

“’You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within, what looked like a couple hundred yards if that [of the president]. You can’t get in that position with a gun when there’s a president speaking.
‘It cannot be done,’ Alexander insisted.”

This was a PLANNED attempted Presidential murder
egged on by Biden, CCP, Blackrock and the MSM.

That shooting lane was to obvious for it NOT to be covered by some LEO agency.

Speaker Johnson should commission white hats to investigate immediately if such a thing is possible.

His regular team was off duty to rest, he was given a temporary detail.
Wonder how many of them were part of it.
His regular detail is known as a good solid crew.

There was one guy at the presser yesterday says the perp was outside the perimiter????

Outside the perimeter? That perimeter is is anything within eyesight of The President and a bit beyond.

How in the Ho Lee Phuk is that possible?

I’ve been to Trump rallies and snipers are everywhere, including in the hills surrounding.

Security is actually visible for miles before you even get to a rally venue.

I felt safe, as well, unconcerned for The President’s safety

Moreover, there was a helicopter circling the event

The building 20 feet behind the dead dude is actually one story higher and begs the question “Why wasn’t a team on top of those buildings?” We know the answer.

Moreover, there is a 90 foot water directly to the east and overlooking all the buildings where dead was and he would have been easily seen if a team was on that water tower.

It is only 100yrds to the east. https://www.google.com/maps/place/615+Whitestown+Rd,+Meridian,+PA+16001/@40.8585856,-79.9698802,577m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x88337d9ebe29308f:0x1b4bca6251cd761e!8m2!3d40.8585186!4d-79.9699773!16s%2Fg%2F11ckqj_ky9?entry=ttu

No one on building to secure it.

No one overlooking to secure it.

So… a guy just decides to show up at a rally and take a potshot at PDJT… and he looks around for a spot that wasn’t covered by USSS and… well whadaya know! He’s in luck. A handy barn roof with no-one on it. And his rifle happens to be sighted in for the distance to the stage.

Now, let’s just see if he can get up there with a rifle without being spotted. Well whaddaya know! Another lucky break! Wait… he was spotted and pointed out to security, Well whaddaya know! Three times lucky! Security blew it off.

Oops. His luck ran out. He was shot deader’n a doornail. Tsk, tsk. Too bad. Can’t question him now.

Gonna be lots of stuff out there

Fact is “it should have never happened “

That it did is inexplicable and no answer will be acceptable

Snipers have an Area of Operation

In that AO are Squares that they are responsible for scanning hostiles and intelligence

Each Square also has math notes for distance, elevation, declination, etc

This was not a slipup

I have not been reading the threads on theories about how/why the assassin missed Trump, his intended target. Yes, he also sprayed audience members, while firing a short rapid string of fire, but I have a theory about why he missed his target besides just being a reported poor shot.

So forgive me if this has already been suggested, but I believe that he very likely missed his target from 125 yards, or so, while in the prone position due to trying to rest his elbows on the very hot surface of the roof. He probably had not anticipated this because he had not thought this through in advance. He probably couldn’t hold a good firing position long enough to make accurate shots.

Just my theory.

The Trump incident will pass the Kennedy assassination incident for the most tin foil hats worn and conspiracy theories hatched.

If the Kennedy assassination investigation hadn't been manipulated beyond belief — as even the House Committee on Assassinations found — the tin foil hat wouldn't have been invented.

You’re over analyzing.....Trump turned his head 65 deg at precisely the right moment or the one shot would have been dead az temple shot.

Dumb luck or divine providence, take your pick.

Stating the obvious - and noting that it’s so obvious ANYBODY would see it immediately.

The investigation should be to see who exactly planned this.

Up to and including Biden, who told George Stephanopoulos just a few days earlier that he was staying in the race because Trump was soon to be “challenged” in a way he’d never been challenged before. Somebody knew enough to be able to tell Joe that much. Who was it, and what was the chain of communications leading to them telling Joe that?
