ALERT Shooting … Trump Grazed By Bullet During Attempt On His Life

That is evidence that Crooks did not act alone
This raises two questions for me.

First, why did Crooks have that money when he would have done the shooting for free? Ever hear of one of these supposed nutcases with a stash like that? Where did that money come from, and who was running him? What was that money intended to accomplish? Did he or his handlers think he'd live long enough to use any of it, and what was the end game he/they had in mind?

Second, why is this information being released at all? If it was one of our intel agencies running him, it tells us they aren't talking to another agency that discovered this loot. Or is this all theater intended to focus attention on one of our agencies through continuing trickle of information, perhaps to take the real heat off another? Or is this money story an entirely bogus tale?

I think the money simply supplies what they think the public would expect or believe. If he had done it for free people would wonder about the family and their influence on the kid. If he (appears to) has money from an outside source then the family is off the hook, so to speak. They can be as surprised as everyone else.

I'm considering the possibility that this might really have been a one man show, and stuff like this is a ruse to cover the massive failures of the Secret Service. They are so focused on covering their asses and the incompetence of senior management that they are leaking and setting up stuff like this. Granted that this opinion is influenced by Dan Bongino and the stuff he has shared over the weeks since the shooting. But this is just one of the scenarios that I'm mulling over.

Yeah.... that article is packed with bad "facts" too.

Just that tiny snippet... "muzzle flash" is white, not red, and through a closed window. I guess some folks have never seen a reflection of sunlight on a window.

It was not body-cam footage, it's from a portion of Dave Stewart's cell phone video. And that window is on the ground floor and does not "oversee" a roof.

That’s not the location I was seeing on the last video released. The figure I saw in the shadow on the roof. He was far to the left as Crooks was running to the right side.

I wasn't talking about that-I was specifically addressing the "information" about the window in the picture/snippet I posted from that one "news" site.

I too saw what might have been a figure on the left side of the roof in the video you refer to from the PBD video. Key word is "might". At that distance/magnification/illumination, there's no way to be certain. And regardless of what you see Abby do on NCIS, you can't clarify a picture by "adding" resolution. That's adding information that isn't there to begin with.

WOW. Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national was arrested for attempting to hire a hitman for planned ass*ss*nat*on against President Trump.

So they KNEW of a direct threat ahead of July 13th, and yet still allowed a shooter to get on an open roof 130yards away with enough time to line up multiple shots?

TRUMP ASSASSINATION PLOT - PAKISTANI BUSINESSMAN ARRESTED

The DOJ has charged Asif Merchant, a Pakistani businessman with ties to Iran, in a plot to assassinate U.S. politicians.

Merchant was arrested on July 12, 2024, before attempting to flee the country.

The plot allegedly targeted high-profile figures, including Trump.

The FBI intervened, thwarting the attack.

This is BULLSHIT. The reason you see this made up story is to bring focus off the FBI for the REAL assassination attempt. Iran shmammmmmmm!

Because the FBI had to make it look like Iran was involved, right?

Watch out Trump, the government is going to make another assassination attempt!

BREAKING: POLICE BODY CAM FOOTAGE OF TRUMP SHOOTER REVEALED!

Newly released body cam footage shows a police officer facing down gunman Thomas Crooks on a rooftop BEFORE the assassination attempt.

Fox News obtained the footage from Butler Township Police, showing the officer being lifted onto the roof and peering over the ledge.

The clip initially has no sound, but midway through, chaos erupts.

“He’s got glasses, long hair,” the officer says, describing Crooks’ backpack and AR-15 rifle.

#BREAKING: Brandon New body camera footage shows police confronting Trump gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks before he opened fire from a rooftop.

#Butler | #Pennsylvania

Watch as brand new bodycam footage has been released, showing a police officer being lifted to the roof of the AGR building, where a man, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot at former President Donald Trump during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The footage captures the moment when an officer from the Butler Township Police Department attempted to reach the roof, where the suspected gunman was located. Another officer assisted in lifting him after rally attendees alerted the police to an individual on the roof near the rally site where Trump was scheduled to speak. Officers described Crooks as having glasses, long hair, a backpack, and an AR-15 rifle. After Crooks was taken out by a Secret Service Countersniper team, there was confusion on why the roof where Crooks was perched was unmanned.

Are you kidding me - one man show??? There is ample evidence that many saw and knew someone was on the roof in the most obvious of spots. I believe many people were involved and many levels such as police and FBI

The repercussions of the actual truth coming out about something of this magnitude are such that the planning and set up is likely a fairly small group so as to guarantee the truth is never publicly known. I suspect that the plan itself included assigning inexperienced and essentially incompetent people to be in charge, understaffing the actual SS part of the team, including people from other agencies for whom this is not the kind of assignment that they have any expertise with, and having disparate groups that didn't have the ability to communicate with each other. In a nutshell orchestrating having useful idiots on the ground knowing that the team on site would screw up. Instead of sending the A team to protect Trump, they orchestrate have the C or D team there.
