PA - Assassination attempt, shooting injures former POTUS Donald Trump, leaves 1 spectator deceased two in critical condition, 13 July 2024 #4

He may have done more than that. I think his plan might have been to arm the bomb that he wasn't able to do since he got disturbed. He might have planned to shoot Trump, immediately thereafter have the bomb go off and then do a mass shooting as well with the attendees when they would flee in response to the bomb.

A House Congressional committing member, mentioned this at last Tuesday's hearing.

He speculated.... The shooter would set the bombs off after killing the former president and many attendees. He felt this was his escape plan.

Moo... Reference last Tuesday House Homeland Security Congressional Committee

James Copenhaver took this video.

I wonder if he knew. I do know he told his family to duck and he protected them.

I wonder if he spotted Crooks on the roof seconds before shots were fired? MSM reported he told his wife and daughter to duck and he laid over them.

This is amazing that he would be the ONE to have the only video I've seen a view of the shooter from the stands.

This had to be seconds before shots were fired. I wonder if the Secret Service snipers saw him? Local LE directly notified the SS Sniper Team in a group text 30 minutes before the shots were fired of a suspicious person with a rangefinder that they were trying to locate.

I'm really starting to think Crooks wasn't just a flake. That looks oddly professional.

Again, 20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on a rooftop and the time shots were fired at the former president.
Officials said the snipers spotted the suspect, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, on the roof of a building outside the security zone at the rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, at 5:52 p.m. ET. The shooting happened at 6:12 p.m. ET, 20 minutes later, the sources said.

Then he should have been taken out at the first shot. He fired three shots paused and fired five more. They should have never taken eyes off of him. There were two SS snipers on that roof.

Senator demands to know why no one has been fired at Secret Service

A hearing descended into chaos when Sen. Hawley pressed acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe on why no one had been fired for the security breach at Donald Trump's Butler, Pa. rally yet.

We can all pray this never happens again to anyone. For me, this isn’t about which political side you might be on, it is about human beings losing their lives.

Absolutely agree, and it's also about the destabilization of the nation when you try to assassinate a U.S. president - former, current, or future. This kind of politcal violence is immensely dangerous to the country.

did the camera pan up as the shooter ran across the roof!? As if to focus on crooks? We haven’t heard from this person iirc. I wonder if he noticed the running figure and looked up.

I heard (but can't verify) the one filming was James Copenhaver--one of the guys who took a bullet that day. Logistically, it makes sense as he was filming in the shooter's line of fire. JMOO

I ask how is Congress investigating the actions of our Secret Service? To my knowledge Congress does not have an investigative branch of employees. Congress can request or even subpoenas SS employees to come before Congress and testify, but this does not replace the need for a true independent investigative team. That would require funding. IMO our federal agencies do not fear being investigated simply because they are the Feds, so therefore who is going to investigate us. If an independent commission is established to investigate this assassination attempt it will probably be similar to the Warren Commission or the 911 Commission. Both of which were very dependent on the FBI and other Federal investigators.

Both of which were deemed to be total whitewashes and limited hangouts.

I'm not sure how they'll investigate this but I'm pretty sure they can put together their own committee to do it. They have subpoena power and quite few ex military and attorneys. They can also hire outside outside help. Dan Bongino (Hillary Clinton's former SS detail) might be an example of expert help).

Amazing that one of the victims who was shot and seriously injured has this video on his phone that was made just seconds before he and President Trump and the other victims were shot.

I heard on the radio news today that the FBI is working with Israel tech experts to get access to the encrypted apps used by the would-be assassin. I hope they are successful and that they are transparent about what they find, although they could, I suppose, keep it confidential if they felt it was somehow classified information. But they could share that in a private session with a Congressional committee whose members have that clearance.

It's absolutely verified. He actually took two bullets.
