A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building that Thomas Crooks crawled on top of to fire at and nearly kill former President Donald Trump, according to a shocking report.
The building was a “watch post” for local police snipers to scan for threats, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
Sources told the Post that the local police sniper team was inside the building, but not on the roof — where Crooks climbed and waited for Trump to begin speaking before firing off eight shots, hitting Trump in the ear, killing a rally-goer, and wounding two others

Who was in charge? Who the heck was in charge? The USSS? obviously not. Then who was in charge? It's the USSS' job to protect 45, no one's else. Then once again, who was in charge? Must be a DEI imperative, no one is responsible for any action. Cheatle, this one is on you, regardless of the fact that you are protected by Queen Edith. This one is on you.

Something was wrong, and still is, Traitor Joe.
On Mike Gallagher Radio this morning, former Secret Service Agent and NYPD cop Dan Bongino wondered, knowing some kid with a rifle was on a nearby roof twenty-six minutes before DJT went onstage to speak, the Secret Service let him go? MAGA Vet.

Is this a law enforcement failure? Or is it a CONTINUATION OF LAWFARE?? Sorry for the CAPS but I don't know how else to express my intense anger.

All of these guys and gals will tell you that they have 368 ways to take you down at any given moment. They all fancy themselves tier 1 operators. Most of them have the beards and tats that they fancy is what makes the man. We the tax payers spend billions a year training these "legends" (in their own mind) and time and again they fail.
Can we go back to heavily screened well trained MEN with less reliance on tech and more on brains?

Unfortunately the ones that allowed this to happen will continue to try and take Trump out.
I fear that the next attempt will be to sabotage his airplane.

"Spotted"? Without a gun. And therefore not much could really be done. And when they went back to talk to him he was gone.
Even if they talked to him, if the gun wasn't on his person, VERY unlikely, nothing could have been done.

I know there are many rumors but one I heard was the SS sniper had the shooter in his sights for 3 minutes but didnt shoot until the shooter did. Seems to me that is a Dem policy for the military that one cant shoot until fired upon. Afghanistan comes to mind, our guy requesting authority to shoot the suicide bomber that killed 13 of our guys was denied.

I've heard a lot of things. Not sure which are true.
1. It is clear he was casing the shooting area.
2. It is clear police/secret service were informed while he crawled into position, but did not pull Trump from stage, or neutralize him when he came into view.
3. Considering their jobs, parents are probably libs.
4. It's been reported multiple times that he's a registered republican, but donated to ActBlue. That tells me someone is covering their tracks.
5.Hes been trained/practice, but still an amateur. Didn't allow for wind, but still got VERY close. Went for head shot. May have done so assuming Trump would have Kevlar suits for events like this. .
6. Rifle belongs to his parents.
7.someone insists he is Canadian.
8. Multiple reports say many of his SS protectors were rookies/overworked, and extra security was denied.
At least some of the SS are not to be trusted. But he has no say in selecting his team.

Once again, you cannot look at the facts of this attempted assassination and conclude anything other than this was an inside job. Period. My question is this. Where in the blazes are the GOPeahens, Mike and Mitch not beginning Congressional hearings on this YESTERDAY? That is inexcusable.

This is the Covid, open border, climate hogwash, and a whole host of other subjects all over again. LIES!
That is, consider the source of all this information on the attempted assassination of President Trump. Everyone in this vast, corrupt bureaucracy is a fair candidate to be a 100% liar for the regime!
I think we're seeing the same again.

When I read this my blood ran cold. What were the snipers inside the building armed with? Caliber? Line of sight to the next President? My mind ridiculously jumped to the possibility of why there was no person, armed or unarmed stationed on the roof for a reason. Why station secret service on the roof when you have CIA trained snipers with a bead on the next President already in the building who could vanish into the wind? Sort of makes sense for the sniper's double take with eyes on Crooks. Why do we have one on the roof when those in the building could more than adequately do the shooting?

Well, the inside of the building was well covered. I find it hard believe that NO ONE in law enforcement never thought of covering the roof of that building, of placing somebody on the roof. One would think that the secret service people positioned on the roof behind Trump would give somebody a clue about a roof less than two hundreds yards away with an open view of Trump would say, "HEY!" "Shouldn't we have people positioned on this roof?"

Since the assassination attempt thankfully failed, I can conclude that our government couldn't even cover this one up. To be followed by hearings and investigations but no one fired.
Think we've heard whoppers before? Just wait.
