PA - Assassination attempt, shooting injures former POTUS Donald Trump, leaves 1 spectator deceased two in critical condition, 13 July 2024 #5

[OddOneOut]

Well it does bring to question....
Secret Service and FBI have no motive but state he acted alone.

I found it rather odd there was an arrest made the same day of a foreign actor trying to leave the country, after trying to arrange an assassination on Trump.

I also find it odd, the father has been seen twice leaving an attorney's office. Moo

I'm certainly not promoting any type of theory, but speculation will continue until full transparency. SS delaying providing information to congressional committees is leading to theories and speculations. This is needless, they need to come clean, fess up, fire those involved and move on.

All my opinion

I don't see anything odd about the father seeing an attorney. Lawsuits are definitely possible since it was his son who killed one person and wounded three others (including Trump) with a gun he got from him.

Also, I'm hoping those relieved of duty are those responsible instead of being scapegoats or whistle blowers.

And, in my opinion, questions about the three foreign encrypted accounts have not been explained to my satisfaction. I'm still not convinced TC acted alone or wasn't hired or radicalized into doing this. How do we know that TC hadn't developed an ambition to become a hired gun, etc?

IMO:
TC
- frustrated intellectual had job beneath his intellect
- show off he could outsmart all the security experts
- important VIP DJT was visiting in neighboring area
- close to home opportunistic assassin/assassination
- notoriety to leave his mark by killing/trying to kill VIP

I agree and I would add, a big middle finger to his High School Gun Club that would not accept him as a member.
Both a social rejection and a talent rejection.

Secret Service HQ told agents not to request extra security for Trump’s Butler rally: whistleblower

Secret Service HQ told agents not to request extra security for Trump’s Butler rally: whistleblower

When the USSS acting director testified before congress, he told lawmakers “all assets requested were approved.”

nypost.com

The whistleblower claims that officials with the Secret Service’s Office of Protective Operations – Manpower “preemptively informed the Pittsburgh field office that the Butler rally was not going to receive additional security resources because Trump is a former president and not the incumbent President or Vice President.

….

Do not believe or trust fbi or ss when under oath.

So many whistleblowers in this case. Have all of their claims so far held up to scrutiny? As far as the level of security, the agency already has protection guidelines established under the watch of Congress. This one sounds fairly typical. Not seeing any malfeasance here.

There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle and it will take time to put them all together.

 

[Elley Mae]

Evidently the ppl (whistleblowers) who work there do see malfeasance to report it.
If there were none what’s to report.

It is even more troubling that the request for extra security was denied given that the SS knew at that time that there had been a specific and credible threat against President Trump from Iran at the time of the Butler rally. Given the threat assessment the Secret Service should have automatically increased their security footprint at the rally.

No wonder so many SS officials have been removed from their positions, they need to get them out of there completely.

My congratulations to his "High School Gun Club" for sticking to their standards. In an earlier post, it was stated that his marksmanship was so bad it made him dangerous. He had 4 or 5 years to learn and improve his marksmanship before he decided to shoot people. In my opinion, that he did so is 100% his fault and has nothing to do with any gun club.

A Statement from the BPSD (Updated: July 20, 2024)​

Rifle Team Involvement:
It has been reported that the shooter was a member of the Bethel Park High School rifle team or tried out for it but was dismissed due to poor performance or because the coach had character concerns. The assailant was never a member of the school's rifle team and we have no record of him trying out. The coach does not recall meeting him. However, it is possible that the shooter informally attended a practice, took a shot, and never returned. We don't have any record of that happening.

A Statement from the BPSD (Updated: July 20, 2024)

Bethel Park School District can confirm that the alleged shooter in the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump is a graduate of Bethel Park High School.

Is there something special in this video? I think I've seen it before. Just the SS discussing details with local LE on the roof with the deceased sniper.

Speaking of the deceased criminal on the roof...

I still am wondering why investigators hosed down the roof so rapidly...
I would think the crime scene would have been kept intact for a longer time...
as it seems I have seen in other cases...
especially a crime scene with such major importance.

Additionally...
I am quite surprised that his cremation was ordered after such a short time...
for reasons stated above...

It appeared, JMO, local LE was handling the crime scene. Was it county LE? They were the ones who hosed down the roof. Perhaps they weren't familiar with how to do that type of investigation and neglected to ask someone higher up the chain of command?

Too many chefs and not enough cooks.
