New video shows shooter running on roof with Trump speaking in the fore ground. Geez.

Secret Service heads in the sand! I'm using that polite term to comply with forum standards.

I know I am a bit paranoid

BUT...

Were New York court cases that required Trump's daily attendance, a set up just in case the Secret Service was not diligent enough to prevent some 20 year old from making an attempt?

Clay Martin has some very impressive credentials. SOTIC is a premier sniper school.

Special ops sniper instructor indicates more than one shooter fired at trump

"Clay Martin has some very impressive credentials. SOTIC is a premier sniper school."

This appears to be click bait, using the circumstances to get some attention. I could be wrong, but it sounds like the first 8 shots came from the kid's AR, then #9 (from a SWAT guy on the ground?) may have very well had a suppressor. I keep seeing videos that have conflicting info on which barn sniper took the kid's head apart. From the herky jerky movements (on and off his scope) by the early videos of the countersniper on the north barn, my current vote would still go with the team on the south barn.

Excellent work by NCAVF - audio/video/digital forensic company taking all known video of July 6th attempted assassination of President Trump and syncing them together. This is updated version but his previous post on X about it:

I just released a new version of this synch, incorporating several new and important eye witness videos. Here is the direct link ----> https://x.com/NCAVF/status/1820966597399343464

They show that police were deeply concerned about a man on the roof 3 minutes prior to the FIRST SHOT, and yet Trump's team was not notified, nor was Trump taken off the stage.

I have been some what surprised that a police officer did not just fire some shots in the air to alert the secret service right with the President that something was up.

I would think that would distract and delay the sniper teams and possibly get shot by sniper team. If I were a cop and in that situation, I probably would have thought that the USSS was being updated on the Command Center channel that is supposed to be a relay to them and assume they were getting eyes on him. Sadly after this event, I don't think local cops are going to trust the USSS is plugged in.

But shooting in the air is extremely dangerous, maybe shoot into the ground, but I would still worry about a ricochet.

Sean Davis of the Federalist posting about it stating that:

BREAKING: Sen. Charles Grassley releases definitive evidence that acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe lied to Congress about sniper placement on July 13. In the nearly 4 weeks since Trump was shot in the head and nearly assassinated, the Secret Service and FBI have repeatedly and deliberately lied to Congress about the assassination attempt.

Highlights from 6 page PDF document of Sen. Grassley:
As part of my ongoing investigation into the attempted assassination, my investigative staff communicated with local law enforcement, to include counter snipers who were on site that day. Local law enforcement dispute the angle of the picture that you provided during your testimony, stating that the picture you provided neither accurately depicts their line of sight and coverage area from their position in the building nor their physical placement within the building.

As of August 9, 2024, Beaver County ESU have told my staff that Secret Service had not met with them to debrief the events of July 13. This type of meeting should be standard, even more so before you are sworn in and provide testimony to Congress.

Bombshell: FBI Itself Allowed Would-Be Trump Killer Into Country

...a report this week about the bureau's dealings with a man arrested in July in a potential Trump assassination plot linked to Iran just made things a good deal worse.

According to Just the News, FBI counterterrorism agents interviewed Pakistani national Asif Raza Merchant in April when he landed at George Bush International Airport in Houston.

"The immigration records from his arrival in Houston on April 13 clearly stated in bright red that he was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security database with the identifier 'WATCH LIST and denoted as a 'Lookout Qualified Person of Interest,'" Just the News reported.

Nonetheless, he was allowed into the country

...the FBI allowed a man with known terror ties into the country, only to arrest him three months later on charges of organizing an Iranian-backed plot to kill the 45th president.

To me this suggests the FBI wanted this terrorist to commit terrorist acts:

Secret Service Agent apparently abandoned her post to breastfeeding her baby 5 minutes before Trump arrived at the site at a recent Trump rally in North Carolina.

Local Swat officer on the ground fired 9 th shot from 100 yds that shattered the stock of shooters rifle and knocked down the shooter before SS fatal shot.

Did any agency get a statement or an interview of the lady yelling at the shooter. Someone recorded video of a lady's voice in the background calling out the name of the shooter and was telling him to get down off the roof. This time was before the shooter started firing.

Just wondering if this line was followed up.
