Pennsylvania State Police Warned Secret Service Of Shooter Before Attempted Trump Assassination
Tampa Free Press ^ | July 24, 2024 | Brian Burns

Pennsylvania’s top police officer faced intense questioning from lawmakers regarding the communication breakdown between the U.S. Secret Service and state and local law enforcement during the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The tragic incident left one rally attendee dead and two others injured.

Lawmakers were shocked to discover that state police had alerted the U.S. Secret Service about a suspicious individual with a range finder approximately 20 to 25 minutes before the July 13 shooting. A photo of the suspect was even sent to a phone number provided by the federal agency.

Today I am hearing the Butler Police Dept. and the SS radios were not on the same channel. There are no recordings of the radio communications.

Now this is just about the worst b.s. I have ever been fed. This guy evades security and gets to the roof. THERE ARE SEVERAL MINUTES IN WHICH TRUMP CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE LINE OF SIGHT!

Couldn’t the Butler PD have called 911 to alert the SS?

How did the PD plan to communicate with the SS?

The more one thinks about it, the more implausible it is that Trump could not have been removed from the stage before being shot!

I assume someone in authority questioned him and learned he had a range finder, but did they then release him along with his rangefinder? Why did he say he needed it? Did they keep it, and follow him? Did they give it back to him?

At 150 yards, why would a sniper need a range finder?

This is what gets me. Cheadle the DIE hire even admitted there were no recording of communications between all agents.

This is like how they had Epstein on a 24 hour video suicide watch. Yet somehow someway the feed quit working the very moment before Epstein killed himself.

This is how we know this event will happen again:

"At 150 yards, why would a sniper need a range finder?"

Probably because in his wildest imagination he never would have foreseen security so lax that he could get that close.

He probably expected to have been shooting from 300+ yards or more.

Basically, they are telling us what happened, happened.

And, that’s all we are going to say about it case closed. Eff you if you don’t like it, and there is nothing you can do about it; get lost!

The explanation is simple.

The SS wanted Trump dead.

Of course that all supposes that Crooks was the (only) shooter.

The only thing we can count on with any certainty is that the official story that is finally presented for this incident will be every bit as reliable as the Warren Report.

The State Police would have been better off calling themselves and investigating and actually doing something.

Before he went to the podium 0they knew there was a suspicious person roaming the area. They could have, and absolutely SHOULD have, delayed his entrance. But if they did that then how could they kill him?

as there are reports that he practiced at a range, he more than likely sighted in his rifle for a certain distance.

Usually 100 yards and a 1 inch grouping is standard for hunting deer etc.

You then know , if you are an avid shooter what the bullet drop is over each distance so the range finder would be a key indicator on that.

In other words, at 150 yards with the size of my target I can still hold dead on and hit it as the bullet wouldn’t drop far enough out of the desire area .

Long time hunter so experienced at all of this and shooting at distances over 200 yards.

If only they were saying mistakes were made, lessons are learned, we’re sorry, it won’t happen again.

Instead they are wanting us to think Trump was hit by shrapnel from a broken teleprompter.

Yes, the explanation is simple. It’s unavoidable. Whereas, what’s to be done about it...is anyone’s guess.
It’s a lot like rigged election. What’s being done about that?

We aren’t allowed violence and that leaves only a polite trip to the polls. Two wolves and a lamb voting on dinner.

They are allowed whatever it takes. They’ll do it again, if Trump survives to November.

The FBI director is saying it was only shrapnel? That is supposed to make it ok?

Shrapnel from what accidentally hitting him, when bullets were actually fired and killed people?

There’s no end to the stupidity the FBI can conjure up, it appears.
