Are Federal agents are botching the assassination investigation? Will this fuel conspiracy theories for years to come . . .?



Photo above - will the real Thomas Matthew Crooks please stand up . . . ?

My condolences to the relatives of the bystander who was shot, and the 2 additional injured attendees in Butler Pennsylvania. That said, there are a LOT of errors being made in this investigation.

1. Failure to secure nearby rooftops before the rally. The rooftop – 130 yards away – is approximately the same unobstructed distance that Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy and Connolly from. And they were moving targets in a motorcade. Trump was standing motionless.

2. Thomas Matthew Crooks was photographed near the entrance to the rally, avoiding entry because of the magnetometers. He was allowed to depart without being searched or questioned.

3. Attendees on the ground later noticed Crooks crawling on a nearby rooftop carrying a rifle, and alerted the police officers nearby. Either that information was not conveyed to the Secret Service, or it was ignored.

4. Immediately after the shots were fired, Crooks was killed by a single headshot even though he was not wearing body armor. An eyewitness said “they blew his head off”. From 130 yards away, Secret Service agents had the same unobstructed view of Crooks, as the assassin had of Trump.

5. The rally site was cleared almost immediately, allowing potential eyewitness to depart, without securing attendee videos or stills of the shooting. The departing attendees could also have removed evidence like shell casings, and items with fingerprints.

6. It took nearly 3 hours to disclose the shooter had been killed immediately, and that he shot 3 attendees in addition to Trump.

7. Crooks wasn’t named for an additional 8 hours. The dead and injured bystanders still have not had their names released.

8.Crooks' residence – the one he shared with his parents – wasn’t entered for 5 hours. There was a police cordon more than an hour earlier, but they did not enter. This would have given an opportunity for occupants or co-conspirators to destroy evidence.

9.There is a report that Crooks was one of 11 million subscribers to a popular YouTube gun channel. He had been wearing “hunting gear” to public school for years. But there has been no identification of which shooting range Crooks practiced at. He didn’t develop these skills by watching TV. Lee Harvey Oswald received weapons training while a US marine. Who trained Crooks?

I'm just askin' . . .

If he had a REAL rifle and placed his shot 2" to the right.. the result would have been VERY different - and a LOT of problems that America faces would be a lot closer to being solved..

@pdqsailor1 @pdqsailor1

i'm not sure where you're headed with this. are you endorsing the assassination attempt, or condemning it?

@pdqsailor1 While I empathize with your feelings on the matter (If ever there was a man the "he just needed killin' " law could be applied to, its Trump) I cant support your satement. If only because you are in the realm of "unintended consequences" and the real evil hiding behind the Trump puppet would have a martyr to work with. Trump really does have to beal dealt with head on by the American people. With his head still on, to be exposed for what he is. Not revered as a saint..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman How he is revealed or regarded is of no consequence so long as it is in the past tense.. What people dislike acknowledging is that assassination.. as a means of altering public policy happens to work rather dramatically.. I know this is not a popular position but any read of history shows it to be true..

@SusanInFlorida The attempt? Is totally meaningless simply because the result was failure to achieve the result.. Had it succeeded... Hmm Its not so much that I favour Trumps death, its that I could read his obituary and feel zero regret and even profound satisfaction.. If there was a mans absence that could make America truly greater.. it would be Trump.
