On July 13, 2024, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, before witnesses and unimpeded by law enforcement, climbed onto the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building at the Butler Farm Show. He was 441 feet away from the stage on which candidate Donald Trump was addressing 15,000 enthusiastic supporters.
From that perch, Crooks used a semi-automatic rifle to rapidly fire eight rounds at the candidate. He killed Corey Imperatore and wounded three others who were on the stage.
One of the wounded was Trump, who turned his head a split second before Crooks opened fire. Consequently, instead of a lethal head shot, Crooks hit Trump in the fleshy part of the ear before being neutralized by a counter-sniper.

Crooks had come within a split second and a fraction of an inch of eliminating the man who was poised to resoundingly defeat President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.
Two weeks earlier, in a televised presidential debate, an incoherent Biden had conclusively and painfully demonstrated to the nation his total mental incapacity and utter unfitness for office. This had reduced the Democrat presidential electoral plan to shambles as Biden’s defeat appeared certain.
Trump had made clear that, once elected, he was going to dismantle the deep state, the federal bureaucracy, and otherwise upend the Washington power structure. He posed an existential threat to those who were profiting from their control of the federal leviathan and all who were feasting at the trough of taxpayer money.
Trillions of dollars were at stake.

I believe it was a “deep state”, intel agencies attempted hit. One of two that we know about.
heads up
I swear....you can feel the hand of God turning his head in that split second...
Yes, next question.
So let’s sum up. Under the leadership of a director appointed by Joe Biden, Secret Service Headquarters withheld intelligence about a specific threat against Trump’s life, denied requested resources for his protection, and allowed a poorly-planned, under-resourced, incompetent, and disorganized protection plan to be implemented at the Butler rally. And this behavior was characteristic of the leadership’s handling of Trump’s security throughout the campaign.In other words, what are the probabilities or odds that all of these curious and perplexing actions by the Secret Service converged by mere coincidence to afford Thomas Crooks an obvious and readily preventable opportunity to murder Trump?
You forgot CNN covered the rally. Someone had to tip them
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him. (Martin Luther)
In the nanosecond that Crooks squeezed the trigger, the Word of God spoke: NO!
As Bob Dylan put it, "Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned."
Like they were tipped off to the raid
Yeah...I don’t think they get to credibly fob this off as tolerance stacking. NOT covering the roof, NOT finding the rifle, NOT delaying DJT’s entrance when they knew there was something wrong, NOT terminating the threat until he got off eight rounds....to say nothing of all of the hocus-pocus surrounding the identity of the shooter.
It was either a plethora of massive incompetence, misfeasance and/or nonfeasance by the USSS, federal law enforcement officials and some DeepStaters, or it was intentional, deliberate malfeasance and a coordinated effort by the USSS, federal law enforcement officials and some DeepStaters to assassinate a former president and leading candidate to be elected as president in 2024.
The latter is more probable.
And they ignored multiple people telling them “THERE’s SOMEONE IN THEY ROOF”
On the roof. Sheesh. Why will I not proofread
I still have a problem with the first three shots. They sound nothing like the others. Their echo sound waves look nothing like the others. Its like three came from a room. And the others came from the gunman on the roof. Then the people on the roof just need to drop three bullets of the same caliber on the roof. Which was easy. And nobody looks for the second gunman. Listen to it again. The first three shots sound nothing like the rest.
The snipers think the first three shots were from inside shooting out. At least 4 feet inside the room so no flash would be seen. There is a window to the snipers left. And there is a vent just beneath him. One of those two would suffice as a perch for a second shooter. The second shooter has to be a cop. In fact one of the cops who was on the scene very soon after he shooting.
Another possibility is that the shooter had the first three casings from the beginning. He dropped them first then began shooting after he heard three shots.
Plenty of effort went into scrubbing Crooks’ house in record time though.
The plan was to have DJT’s head exploding on CNN film ... let that sink in a minute. Can you imagine the reaction? The Left would have been doing a happy dance, MAGA would have been (temporarily) demoralized & then I would bet ‘fighting mad’.
At the beginning of the week, Biden himself made the comment “Trump’s going to have a bad week” followed by that snarky 💩 - eating grin of his.
Does anybody else remember that or was it mentioned in the article?

What I want to know is who told the sniper to stand down until shots were fired?
Be nice if they spelled Corey’s last name right
