I paid off my loans decades ago. Can I be reimbursed?
Or how about reimbursing me for the expensive out-of-state school I wanted to go to, instead of the local school I ultimately chose, because it was cheaper?

She can choose who she wants as running mate in the next election. But a replacement to serve out the remainder of her current term requires Senate confirmation.

Damned spillcheck...
The officer’s noticed Crook when he arrived in the area outside the checkpoint, using a range finder.
They thought this was suspicious and put out a radio alert telling everyone to keep an eye out, but when they tried to follow him they lost him in the crowd.
He never attempted to pass through the checkpoint.
Next report I’ve seen was an officer who saw him on the roof, with the rifle. The building he was on was outside the security perimeter, and he could approach it without passing through the checkpoint.

When they saw him alright the checkpoint with the distance runner then walk away, they thought that was suspicious, and radioed an alert, but lost track of him in the crowd.

He didn’t get in. The building whose roof he fired from was outside the security perimeter. He didn’t need to go through the security checkpoint to reach it.

If you breakdown an AR the longest piece is the barrel and upper receiver. That’s a minimum of 24” long, and more likely 26”. Either will fit in a backpack.

The question we have to ask is, if that’s the best technology we have, and we had a CS team up there with a shooter that, you know, we’re trained out to a thousand yards in the Secret Service with the counter-sniper team. How did they miss someone at most, you know, one-fifth of the way there? It doesn’t make any sense.
It makes perfect sense for the counter-sniper team to concentrate on the >500yd approaches, if the plan was that some other team was tasked with securing the nearby building.
Somebody screwed up. Did some in the local sheriff's department not understand what their responsibilities were?
Did the Secret Service assign them the task of securing the building without making it clear that included controlling access to the roof?

You’re not reading that report very carefully. The shooter was seen on the ground, 30 minutes before the shooting, near the entrance, several hundred yards from the roof from which he took the shot.
Officers lost him in the crowd, and an alert went out, and they were looking for him.
