There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday's shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.

The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.co

One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News

When CBS is in WTF mode, the Feds are in for more scrutiny than they are used to

Some ugly truths will be exposed in the course of this investigation, provided we actually get a real investigation.

Every new piece of info makes it sound more like an inside job.

I am not even convinced that the bullet that hit Trump came from Crook's rifle. Just a wildassed tinfoil theory, but maybe he was the designated patsy. They knew he couldn't hit sh*t with his rifle, but let him go up on the roof to take the fall while one of the SS or some other deep state asset made the actual shot that took off the top of Trump's ear. The only thing that saved him was God and a sudden turn of the head.

The blob is pure evil and there is not an act too heinous that is off the table for them.

Bear crawling across a metal roof would make a bit of noise.

“The best you can say here is that the Secret Service was woefully incompetent..”

For me the CLEAR standard operating procedure anomalies would have to be cut by orders of magnitude before this could rise to incompetence.

State simply what happened and it is clear that it was allowed and intended to happen: Some punk kid with a long gun a ladder and a rangefinder, under the noses and in the very sight of multiple ss units and the general public climbed an unguarded roof that was as perfect a snipers nest as anyone could ask for and commando crawled across the metal roof of the building which happened to be occupied by snipers who KNEW he and his rangefinder were there, got into place at the apex of the roof in a classic sniper lay, pointed the rifle at the target in the sight of an anti sniper sniper team which watched until the punk got off a legit kill shot (which Providence denied)…that ain’t incompetence, it just AIN’T.

“Several shouted: There’s a man with a gun. There he is. He’s lying down flat now. He’s right there.“

Speaking of the Monty Pythons imagine one of them simply delivering that very line!

And, I don’t think there were windows in the building.

Yes, one would hear someone on the roof. The entire explanation is preposterous.

The worst thing I’ve heard so far is the SS Director (the woman) said this incident was not acceptable and she will “TRY TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME”. What?!

The link you posted claims Crooks bought a 5 ft ladder.

In the posted pics, that’s not a 5 ft ladder.

Also, how could one transport the ladder in the picture in the car that was linked to Crooks?

Not asking you for the answers but these are questions that immediately pop up in my head.

As far as I know, no AR-15 comes compatible with shotgun shells. But most definitely, you do not use shotgun shells to do precise shooting from a distance. Sarc tab was because the idea was ludicrous.

Makes sense to me. As Judge Judy says, “If it doesn’t make sense, it isn’t true.”

looks like a fiberglas and aluminum step ladder
heavy but not impossible for a scrawny kid

One trip for the ladder and a second trip for the rifle?

The only possible 'legit' reason I can think of for why they were inside was that the SS was running shifts of several hours at a time and the building was their break area for having coffee and donuts in between shifts.  Perhaps iced coffee since it was hot outside.  /s

Short of that .. incompetence &/or complicity.

it is good to question everything

however there were witnesses who saw him go up the ladder with the rifle

the witnesses were pointing him out to the local cops and secret service - who chose to ignore them
