In an age before the internet, or the fax machine.

Where is the rifle?

More importantly - account for every single Damned Bullet.

No more picking it up off the ground and "losing it".

Here’s an abbreviated list of extremely basic factual questions about the Trump assassination attempt that for some reason haven’t been definitively answered (anonymous leaks don’t count):

1) What make, model, and caliber of firearm was used, and when/where/by whom was it purchased?

2) What make and model of ammo was used (including the weight of the bullet used)?

3) Did the rifle used have any type of magnified optic or red dot sight on it, and if so, what make/model, and what exact setting was the optic on when the shooter used it?

4) Have authorities put identical rounds through the rifle with the identical optics settings and confirmed both the zero and the result of shots fired at the range at which they were fired on Saturday?

5) How many shell casings were recovered from the crime scene? How many remaining rounds were in the magazine that was found in the rifle?

6) How many rounds were fired by the shooter on the warehouse rooftop? Has each round been accounted for (i.e., do investigators know where each round landed, and does the number of bullets found or accounted for match the number of shell casings found?

7) Have investigators confirmed, via the recovered bullets and the known trajectory of the bullets, that the shooter on the rooftop fired each one?

8) Have investigators reconstructed the shooter’s precise movements over the past days, weeks, and months? If so, have they put together a list of every person with whom he interacted over that time period, but in person and virtually or online?

9) Have investigators reviewed video surveillance of the shooter at all various locations he recently visited (e.g., gun range, gun dealer, restaurants, traffic cameras, etc.)? If so, have they canvassed and interviewed each person seen with the shooter?

These aren’t difficult questions to answer. These are usually the types of details promptly provided by authorities in the days following shocking, violent events of national importance.

Yet we do not have a single one of these questions definitely answered on the record by an official authority. Not one.

Why the heck not?

Days? Many of these are partially answered and answered officially within hours, certainly within 48 hours.

Law Enforcement displays Mannlicher-Carcano Rifle to press on November 22, 1963.

They also displayed two entirely different rifles at different times as the Oswald's assassin weapon. One was a model that obviously was shorter. So, good luck getting any ballistics information from the Trump scene. Information will probably fluctuate until they get their 'narrative' down.
"We don' need no stinkin' investigation. We just need a good story, and anybody who disagrees will get a visit from the FBI."

Remember Epstein's fakeicide? No testimonies from any emergency or hospital personnel AT ALL along the chain of examination. All they needed was the news shell of the assertion fallacies. That, and some crooked pathologists and coroners who don't seem to be in short supply. It was a major 'fuck you' to the inquiring public and marked a new stage in the audacity of the Intels and Deep State showing contempt for the population. I doubt this will be any different.

The FBI 'officially' denied it, so that must be confirmation it was her. Spokesman to 'Daily Mail', LOL! It's the FBI NoName source again to the citadel of journalistic integrity, Daily Mail (Fleet Street Royal owned rag).

The timing:

* SCOTUS ruling upholding immunity
* Canon's ruling showing Smith's lack of appointment
* RNC convention imminent
* Trump's sentencing delay

The FBI that has yet to hold a press conference on the issue a week after the event.

The last press release from the FBI on the subject is from July 15th, 5 days ago.

NOT ONE of the past 50 press releases by the FBI concern Trump, Butler, Rally, or Shooter as of right now.
https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases

The last official statement on the FBI's website as of today was made back on July 14th.

Of course, there's this. Where is the long, dark river of 'blood' from the 'body' at this point? Guess they enhanced that later. Why is the gun over there. As a trauma surgeon pointed out, why no spray of tissues, brains or vertebra?

Just wait until you see is running Crowd Strike.

The only pictures we have of the firearm are from a distance and apparently not officially from the authorities. As far as I know, I believe the shooter's dead pic was not official, but was leaked.

Also, he sure seems much further away from the edge like he was in the mobile videos that were uploaded by rally attendees.

And yeah, he was a kid with no criminal record, no online presence, no job or license that would require blood to be drawn or anything else. Unless somebody did a 23andme, but boy that was lightening speed to figure out they had it and get it back to test against blood. Must have picked it up and returned it via F-15 on afterburners.

Was it a telescopic ladder? I have one of these and it collapses in pretty small package. As for AR and two-and-half mags worth of ammo: even a fat blue-haired lesbo in full Army uniform, flack jacket and helmet wouldn't break a sweat carrying these a mile or five, let alone 20yo male doing it in jeans an tee shirt. If this is supposed to be a proof of something it fails at whatever it tries to prove. AR-15 is not your Gramp's Garand, mkay? And even if the guy had a Garand it still would be a nothigburger to RUN a mile with it for an average 20 yo male.

I think the idea is that he did this UNSEEN. Nothing to do with endurance.

Chris Martenson: 'Rock Solid' Evidence of 'At Least' Two Shooters in Trump Assassination Attempt (32 minute video)

https://rumble.com/v57mm0s-chris-martenson-rock-solid-evidence-of-at-least-two-shooters-in-trump-assas.html

Possible.

https://slaynews.com/news/sniper-killed-trump-shooter-one-in-a-million-shot-insider-reveals/

The sniper who killed President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin managed to successfully take out the shooter with an incredibly difficult shot.

The anti-Trump gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was positioned on the roof of a BlackRock-owned building with a clear view of the 45th president as he spoke to the crown at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

However, Secret Service snipers struggled to get a clear shot on Crooks to eliminate the threat.

A “source familiar with the investigation into the shooting” reportedly told Fox News that the sniper who killed Crooks did so with a “one-in-a-million shot.”

The source said the kill shot was a single shot taken by a Secret Service counter-sniper whose view was obscured.

A local tactical team also took a shot at the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Crooks, but missed.

The Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks could only see Crooks’s gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead.

The lip of the roof was reportedly blocking the sniper’s view.

Patrick says

This is 100% the right thing to do. It is more than justified because it's about leftists advocating murder as a way to defeat democracy.

https://thetruthaboutcancerofficial.substack.com/p/illuminating-inconsistencies-and

Multiple bystanders, police, and the Secret Service all saw Crooks as he strolled to the warehouse, even caught on film wandering around and looking up—but nope, no red flags there.

(video of his wandering and looking)

One of the law enforcement officers stationed in the warehouse saw Crooks “scoping out” the roof with a rangefinder. There’s nothing suspicious about that, right? Maybe Crooks was using the rangefinder to improve his golf swing. He left and then returned with a backpack, the officer took a picture of him and radioed the sightings to the command center, but they somehow “lost track” of him. According to the Senate briefing on the assassination attempt, 62 minutes elapsed between the time Crooks was photographed as suspicious and when he fired the shots…

When they finally “found” Crooks, he had climbed the warehouse roof. Remember, according to the Secret Service, a three-man counter-sniper team is set up in that same warehouse. Everyone knows you can hear a squirrel on a metal roof, but the team below Crooks couldn't hear him on the roof.

Evidently, a police officer saw him on the roof and confronted him, but Crooks pointed his weapon, causing the officer to duck and fall off the roof. The officer’s radio call about "an individual on the roof with a weapon" apparently didn’t warrant immediate evacuation of President Trump. Because, of course, why would it?

Of course, local law enforcement body cameras cannot confirm these facts because … are you ready for this? … According to Tom Fitton, the Butler County sheriffs were not wearing body cameras. How strange is it that a key law enforcement agency did not have its responding officers equipped with body cameras? Nothing to worry about here… we’re sure this is just a coincidence.

And the roof? Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle later explained the lack of a sniper team on the roof by saying it was “sloped” and dangerous.

Clearly, the Secret Service isn't trained for such perilous conditions as a mildly sloped roof. Who needs them taking a bullet for the President when they could slip on a roof, right? And who needs the pesky facts that the Secret Service was already stationed on a roof with a 14.04° pitch, and the pitch of the warehouse roof was only 4.76°? And we just learned that, according to Senator Josh Hawley on X, “Whistleblowers tell me that MOST of Trump’s security detail working the event last Saturday were not even Secret Service. DHS assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel.” Maybe that’s why she feared putting them on a sloped roof…

According to Matt Wallace, the parents of Crooks called police hours before the shooting to report that he was missing with an AR-15. And let's not forget that Crooks wasn’t even good enough to make his high school rifle team. But, hey, no biggie. It’s totally understandable, right? Because obviously, shooting in a high school competition is way more intense than sneaking onto a roof, evading the Secret Service and police, and taking a shot at the President with snipers all around. Yeah, right. Because, you know, nothing says “elite assassin” like failing to qualify for a high school team. ...

Oh, here’s a real gem. The Secret Service claims there was a counter-sniper team stationed in a second-story window of the very warehouse where Crooks was supposedly perched. Minor hiccup, though … That warehouse doesn’t even have a second-story window. But guess what? The adjacent building does, giving them a perfect view of Crooks. ...

That’s not the only report of a possible second shooter. Here’s a video that sure does look and sound like there was a second shooter in the crowd. Keep in mind that this video is on Trump's left side, whereas the warehouse is on Trump’s right side.

https://x.com/I_Am_JohnCullen/status/1813332383262998882

And here’s a video of a female attendee who heard the shots in the above video and is 100% sure that they came from the left of Trump.

Why have we not heard anything about this? It seems evident that more investigation is needed. But apparently, the FBI disagrees because, within 24 hours, FBI investigators stated that Crooks acted alone. Isn’t it amazing that they can do a thorough background check and speak to every known associate of Crooks within a day and conclude that he acted alone? The FBI sure does act fast! ...

Back to the FBI. Here is a photo of the FBI cleaning up (destroying) the crime scene where the shooter allegedly opened fire to assassinate President Trump and was quickly shot by a Secret Service sniper. Of course, the FBI may have gotten all the blood and fibers (and brass?) they needed for their investigation, so this might be nothing ….

What about that lady sitting behind Trump in the black hat? We’ve all seen the video. It went viral because when the shooting started, she stayed calm and began to film. There's nothing strange about that, right? Some are speculating that this woman is FBI Assistant Director Janeen Diguiseppi. ...

Anyone recall the Hunter Biden laptop circus? Just weeks before the 2020 election, the FBI had the laptop in their possession but decided to play hide-and-seek with it so it wouldn't damage the Biden campaign. Because, you know, transparency is overrated.

Yep, this is the same FBI that helped rig the 2020 election. The very same FBI that orchestrated the Oklahoma City bombing (and let’s not forget Merrick Garland was the judge on that one). And, of course, it's the same FBI that executed Randy Weaver’s wife and unborn child at Ruby Ridge.

Oh yeah, we almost forgot, the FBI just declined a request by Congress for FBI Director Christopher Wray to testify next week about the attempted assassination of President Trump. I guess he’s too busy…

There were multiple videos of Crooks on the roof allegedly firing, so why is there no video of the muzzle flash from Crooks’ AR-15? Where’s the brass from the roof? And what caliber is the bullet that hit Trump? The trajectory should lead straight to the bullet, shouldn’t it? Where are the ballistics reports? This is imperative information. Where is it?

All these anomalies are very odd, but perhaps the oddest is the financial “bets” placed the day before the Trump rally. On July 12th, Austin Private Wealth, LLC made a massive bet against Trump’s business empire by shorting 12,000,000 Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) shares.

Here’s the critical data from Fintel.io, revealing that on July 12th, Austin Private Wealth, LLC filed a substantial ‘put option’ position for 12 million shares of DJT. For those who might not be familiar with stock market jargon, “put options” allow you to profit if the stock's value drops. If Trump had been shot and killed the following day, this enormous put position would have resulted in a significant windfall of profits.

Not suspicious enough? Well, on the very same day, they also took out ‘put options’ on 34,000,000 shares of Rumble (RUM). The following day, there was an attempt on Trump’s life. Had Trump been killed, both DJT and Rumble would have crashed, potentially raking in hundreds of millions in profit for Austin Private Wealth. Does this mean that they had prior knowledge? Or was this just a coincidence? You tell me. Why is nobody asking questions? Where is the SEC investigation? ...

And let’s not forget that President Trump has promised multiple times to dismantle the so-called “deep state.” It certainly appears that this shadowy network could be involved in the attempt on his life. The timing and circumstances surrounding the assassination attempt are just too coincidental, raising serious questions about whether this was a desperate move by the “deep state” to protect its own interests and maintain its grip on power.

Is that all? How come you don't present real evidence?

Of course, there's that little thing about Trump becoming the anointed candidate at the RNC, meaning that he can legally talk with foreign powers now as a potential President. You think that is something the Deep State wanted?

I think Kimberly Cheatle basically surrendered to Trump which is why she seemingly audaciously went to the RNC. She threw herself at mercy to turn State's evidence. Watch to see if she is suicided.

LOL! And now, something completely different. So, the sniper team in the building under the fake patsy sniper drew straws to see who got to kill Trump through the window.

Kimberly Cheatle

It’s really despicable I didn’t cheer for Obama to die, I wouldn’t cheer if Biden was killed. I’d view the assasination of any president or final candidate as an embarrassment and sad day for the US.

I'm perfectly fine with Biden stroking out today however.

This Reuters headline was already remarkable but it still managed to bury the lede:

US Secret Service says it previously denied Trump
requests for additional resources, New York Times
reports
By Reuters
July 20, 2024

I will now repost the *entire* Reuters article about this massive scandal that should, in sane world, rock the federal government to its core. You ready? Here it is, the whole thing:

July 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. it Secret Service said it had turned down requests from Donald Trump's security
detail for additional resources in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination last week, the New
York Times reported on Saturday, citing a spokesman.
This is a reversal from earlier statements by the agency denying that such requests for the former president
and Republican presidential nominee had been rebuffed, the newspaper said.

That’s it! That’s the entire article. Not a single reaction quote from anybody. Nor any details, nothing about who said what, not even a snarky comment saying reporters tried to get a comment from anyone.

This is what passes for journalism in the age of corporate media.

The headline should have been something more like, “Secret Service LIED About Denying Trump More Protection.” Instead, the crack journalists at Reuters deployed the gentle euphemism, “this is a reversal from earlier statements by the agency.” ...

The New York Times’s article was a bit better. The Times, at least, reported the previous strong denials that, in Secretary Mayorkas’s own words, were “irresponsible” and “unequivocally false:”

"There's an untrue assertion that a member of the former
president's team requested additional resources and that those
were rebuffed," Anthony a Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret
Service, said last Sunday, the day after the shooting.
Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service, said on
Monday that the accusation that he had issued the denials y
baseless and irresponsible statement and it is one that is
unequivocally false."

But yesterday, under pressure, Secret Service Spokesman Guglielmi admitted that the “baseless” claims were not, after all, quite so baseless, nor were they exactly “irresponsible.” As it happens, President Trump has requested more security the entire time he’s been out of office...

Finally, to its credit, the Times article recapped the three biggest unanswered questions hanging over the rally field:

... The agency also faced questions as to why it had allowed Mr.
Trump to take the stage at the Butler Farm Show grounds, even
after receiving information that law enforcement was looking for
someone suspicious in the crowd.

So many questions! And so few answers.

Yesterday, video emerged of President Trump asking a delicate question of his own in an interview with Fox’s Jesse Waters: why didn’t the Secret Service simply ask him to hold off starting the rally for a few minutes until they could find Thomas Crooks?

https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1814841241982673364

“Nobody said there was a problem,” the President explained, “and I would've waited for 15 minutes, 20 minutes. I think that was a mistake.”

Whatvl does July 13th and January 6th have in common?

The only people that died at either event were Trump supporters.

Reuters is not Fox, CNN or Cucker. They had this subdued style of reporting forever. The guy who demands that they use capitalized "LIED" in a title and snarky comments in the body of their articles is either obtuse or was born yesterday. Or both.

https://x.com/amuse/status/1815048772990202348

Rumors are that this was an ATF agent.

That all very soon will be categorized as conspiracy theory like everything before. No evidence, baseless.

The Goebbels reversal version is that somehow Trump 'needed' this for his public image publicity campaign. Trump never 'needed' this, he was doing fine without it, and it runs counter to the extremes he has gone to to avoid civil war. That and the Globalist effort to profit with insider information on the assassination are signatories that it was a genuine assassination project. All the standard Deep State and Globalist finger prints are on it.

I even think a lot of the Mockingbird assets were appraised given their very strange and fearful reaction when Trump lived instead of died, plus their awkward poverty of strategy reactions immediately after the attempt.

Patrick says

Can they sue Secret Service for negligence too?
