Shots Fired At Trump Rally

I wonder if the ineptitude on display was not to highlight the Hand of God at work too.

Can you imagine the hullabaloo back in Egypt when all those chariots and soldiers were drowned in the Red Sea? How could this happen? Who was in charge?! Fire them!!

It'll be even worse on the mountains of Israel, they'll be investigating friendly fire for days.

I don’t believe this for a second. What foreign entity— who wanted to pay someone to kill Trump—- would hire this shlep? How would they even “discover” him?

Foreign accounts doesn't imply a foreign entity is involved in the assassination attempt, it suggests he may have received some remuneration for agreeing to do what he did. And given that he was little more than a kid, the accounts were probably opened for him.
 

Sen. Hawley Whistleblower: HSI, Not SS, Put in Charge of Butler, PA Security​


For instance, Senator Hawley has just revealed some disturbing details from a whistleblower about President Trump’s security details. According to this source, most of Trump’s security team that day in Butler, PA, weren’t even official Secret Service agents. Hawley claims they were unprepared and inexperienced personnel assigned by the DHS.

Pic: Trump shooter’s alleged connection with FBI office exposed: Report​


The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project claimed on Monday that an individual who “regularly” visited the home and the workplace of former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin also visited a building in the “same vicinity” of an Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Washington, D.C.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the Oversight Project said, “We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates. To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them.”

The Oversight Project explained that someone who “regularly visited” the home and workplace of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks also visited a building located in the Gallery Place in Washington, D.C. The Oversight Project added, “This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI office on June 26, 2023. Who’s device is this?”

 

New Text Messages Reveal Another Troubling Update on Trump Assassination Attempt​

Two words describe the security situation at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13: hot mess. There are so many glaring flaws, and the ground is so inexcusable that it is fertile for conspiracy theorists. Can you blame them? The Secret Service is stonewalling and stacking sandbags amid intense scrutiny from lawmakers from both parties.

We don’t know if would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was a lone gunman. How many casings were recovered from the roof? We don’t know. What we do know is that no one at the Secret Service has been disciplined for this calamity, and now text messages obtained by The New York Times show that snipers knew about Crooks earlier than initially reported. It provides yet another damning update on the assassination attempt that nearly killed a former president. Crooks missed delivering a fatal headshot by millimeters [emphasis mine]:

Nearly 100 minutes before former President Donald J. Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending.

Outside, the officer noticed a young man with long stringy hair sitting on a picnic table near the warehouse. So at 4:26 p.m., he texted his colleagues about the man, who was outside the fenced area of the Butler Fair Show grounds where Mr. Trump was to appear. He said that the person would have seen him come out with his rifle and “knows you guys are up there.”


The incompetence that is being revealed is simply staggering.

Many unanswered questions.
But can Biden's FBI and DOJ be reliable to get those answers and to tell the American people the truth about those answers?
Time and again they have withheld information to the convenience of the left, and I wouldn't trust for them to be transparent even with this.
 
I sure hope Trump hires his own security as back up from now on.
Either these were the stupidest people on earth, or some of them allowed this to happen on purpose.
He did have some of his own security aside from the Secret Service.
Today I read an article saying that police SWAT team had the shooter in view and took pictures of him two hours before he started shooting.
The SWAT team said that Secret Service didn't connect with them so they could communicate with them so there wasn't a way to tell them they had spotted the shooter......


From his second-floor post inside the AGR complex at the fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, Nicol noticed the young man in a gray T-shirt, lurking.

"He was looking up and down the building ... It just seemed out of place," Nicol, assistant leader of the Beaver County SWAT team, told ABC News in an interview airing Monday at 7 a.m. ET on "Good Morning America." "I'll just didn't seem right."

Nicol noticed an unattended bike and backpack. And he saw the man looking up and around, then pulling a rangefinder from his pocket. There was no apparent reason to have a distance-gauging device at a political rally featuring the man who, in a few days, would accept his party's presidential nomination. The sharpshooter snapped pictures of the suspicious-looking man and the bike, then flagged it to fellow snipers from his team assigned to the event and called it into the command group.

Nicol would be the first officer to issue a warning about 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Within an hour, Crooks would open fire from the roof of that very building, less than 200 yards from the rally's stage, wounding Trump on live TV, killing one person in the crowd, and critically injuring two more.

The sniper and his fellow Beaver County SWAT officers were assigned to Trump's Butler campaign rally, and tasked with supporting the Secret Service and other law enforcement in the mission to keep the event and Secret Service protectee, safe.
