The Secret Service was warned about Thomas Michael Crooks and designated him as a “threat” 10 minutes before former President Donald Trump took the stage, but allowed him to go on anyway, according to a new report.
The Fox News report, which comes from a stunning Senate briefing by the Secret Service on Wednesday, revealed that agents were fully aware of reports about Crooks.
The agency had identified Crooks as a “character of suspicion” more than an hour before Saturday’s deadly rally shooting but still let him go on stage.
“He was identified as a character of suspicion because [he had] a rangefinder as well as a backpack. And this was over an hour before the shooting actually occurred,” said Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.).

There is a report from a neighbor of similar age that Crooks and some kids Crooks hung around with had made threats at school.
If that is true, and the threats were reported, then he was probably on a watch list.
“ who was in charge of the event?
we need a name”
We need a hanging
They changed the ROE for troops dealing with bombers trying to breach checkpoints and such in Iraq, I suppose they can do it for the USSS too.
Catherine Herridge too
Yes, absolutely! It was a quick list off the top of my head. I’m sure we can add other highly competent investigative journalists to the list.
* Judge Pirro
* Julie Kelly
* Sharyl Attkisson
* Catherine Herridge
Actually, that isn’t the case. It is done to remove blood, a biohazard. The shooter’s brain matter was scattered up there.

Classic, textbook and PURE DEI behavior!
I think 2 days ago there was a posting here with his name, Ken, maybe Kevin. Supposed to be the only one from Trump’s normal protection detail that was there. But I don’t remember which thread.
So he could be shot by Crooks, that is the only answer that makes sense
Why does this whole assassination incident smell to high heaven?
Did they identify Crooks by name, or did they just identify some guy who fit the profile they were looking for?
“Did they identify Crooks by name, or did they just identify some guy who fit the profile they were looking for?”
The article says a “character”.
They were washing off the blood and grey matter. Imagine people climbing up to get some to sell on Ebay....
“a biohazard.”
Biohazards are collected, not wash off onto areas where people traverse.
Republican’s need to subpoena Mayorkas-Obama’s Regime plant.
A former president was shot. DHS Mayorkas is basically shutting down ANY valid questions about WHAT THEY KNOW.
What was in the backpack?
As event security I would have searched it, unless I already knew.
You can’t get into a small town music festival without a bag search.
Back this train up. Who seached the bag, what was in it?
They called to say he was missing?
BS
Just finding the range finder on him should have been enough to hold him and search his vehicle before the rally started.
Make that 20 minutes, and I’m down with the report.
