The fact that a TH-cam channel gives me more in-depth coverage, basically every single day, than any news outlet I've seen for this incident, is wild. Thank you for continuing to talk about this.
Doesn’t surprise me. For as long as I can remember the regular news spins every story with partial truth and the rest is their misleading analysis. Basically the news wants to sensationalize to get ratings.
It shows how terrible journalism is today. Jeff & others like him put some thought to this that others are either too lazy to do or they are covering up.
Well they had no intent to protect the female citizen standing at the fence line. Not one of the screamed for her to come their way, get down, nor did anyone try to protect her.
It's unjustifiable that the SS and FBI couldn't present this kind of info in the first week after this happened. There's no way they don't have the manpower and ability to sort through the info.
You deserve some type of award for your coverage of this event, Jeff. I wouldn't know 1/4 of the information I've learned about this without your regular updates. Thank you for all you do!
Yeah what a badass you informed us very well on eveything without going down a single rabbit hole... offended a few conspiracy theorists but God dammed it we almost got there thanks to you! ❤
You’ve the best coverage and explanation around. I bet the investigative task force is releasing the videos that they don’t understand and then watching your videos to explain it. Just wait til the final report comes out and you declare, Nailed it!.
A matter of fire control. The Fed snipers were shooting into friendly positions with no communications from Butlers. The Butler swat sniper had knowledge(direct radio contact) what and where the shooter was. Is no one impressed he shot on shoulder standing?
well not really, in my country, any solider can shoot standing or prone unsupported accurately out to 300 metres (not yards) and that building was pretty close to the fence in the scheme of things.
Just like hunters do in open range. He had knowledge ofvhis rifle and was confident in it being true. I am an 81 year old woman who had been hunting with my folks from thevtime Ivcould walk but with my own rifle from 12 years old. We got our deer every year for our freezer. Good reporting. ❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, good observation, the AGR building *wouldn't* have been an area of Interest with a secret service pair inside facing north and a team from Butler county occupying the complex.
That's pretty badass - standing out in an open field, facing a terrorist sniper who is shooting in your direction, scoring a hit to the guy's rifle, and then continuing to stand there until the bad guy is taken out.
The lady in the blue running toward the body cam after the shot is a campaign staffer, she was handing out signs to those of us in the stands behind Trump earlier in the day. I’m assuming those in suits running into the tents were also staffers. Idk if this helps clarify anything, but I thought I’d share my perspective and recollection of the event.
If the body cam is off by twelve seconds that means that southern sniper team had twelve more seconds to take a shot and didn't. Guy in the grass wasn't in on the crap and did his job. Shout out 👏 to him for acting accordingly.
Secret service counter snipers on the south barn were too busy ding bullets. You can see them fringe in the other video. The spotter, even dropped his Binocular.
I would just like to thank you for deviating from your normal content and doing this analysis. It baffles me that traditional news organizations aren't interested in this stuff. Thanks for doing the work and sharing it with us.
Pffft..the only reason he does this is for the TH-cam clicks / views. It's all about $$ .. this topic is Golden, otherwise he would be making another video of "how to plunge a clogged toilet".
It is not that they are not interested , they would all be watching the footage but they know they cannot cover it because it would be positive promotion for Trump and they only do negative promotions of Trump.
@@michelleroberts3856 That was someone on the opposite side of the building from the parking lot. She could see who/what was on the roof because the ground on that side of the building is higher. The people on that side of the building were shouting to the cops, with little effect. It's weird that there are few if any videos from that side of the building. At least I haven't seen any. Did the Feds confiscate them?
@@johnwsimpson3153 There are videos that were reviewed by other channels. In the beginning of all the reporting Peak Prosperity was using video from west side of AGR and the audio as well
@@jeffostroff have you heard anything about security cameras around these buildings and if their footage caught anything or if there were any suspicious lapses in footage?
I am still wondering why the secret service snipers that took him out were just packing up and leaving after taking him out. It seems odd they would not be maintaining their position for a while until they can be questioned.
The tent was used for concealment. Cover would be something that stops bullets. USSS sole responsibility is for the prez. LEOs are sworn to protect all souls.
@@SamSam-ih6nt Technically the hit already went down. Only the turn of the head saved him. He did react quickly. SS very definitely, did not and only hit the guy after he was down and neutralized.
It was a quick reaction but they all knew the suspect was on the roof AND then armed after the patrolman called it in. @avgjoe5969 Incredible situation.
Uhhh, if by witness, you mean the lone assassin (until actual evidence points at a conspiracy). It is very amazing that he made it to the roof after being so suspicious, but so far, no proof that he had help, beyond incompetance of others.
The "conspiracy" has never been about, "they didn't shoot". At least, not in anything I've been posting- it's that this was INTENTIONAL, and ALLOWED. Scenes are NOT set up like this, to protect presidents, former presidents, nor potential presidents, who's lives are under threat. This wasn't incompetence. Who the hell sets themselves up on a roof, if ANY PART, of ANY HIGHGROUND, where ANY ASSASSIN might shoot from, isn't both visible, and covered by the Secret Service? Who does NOT coordinate with the local police, nor have joint radios to share instant information, nor have DRONES in 2024 America, when talking about THE most "elite" protection forces in existence? NO ONE DOES- not unless they're SETTING UP a situation to ALLOW someone to do, what was done here.
@@rickrickard2788 if you are truly following this, there is audio of cops, swat, whoever it was saying they were supposed to be there, and another that saw the shooter thinking it was one of there guys, because someone was supposed to be there. Country couldn’t hide a semen stained dress, but they are super smart to put this together, while simultaneously being so dumb and incompetent, that they couldn’t finish the job. Lmao. Which is it, smart or dumb? Intelligent or incompetent. If incompetent, why is it so unbelievable that the SS, especially how it is run today, that they would not be susceptible to incompetence and complacency? I just think some of you envision the government, the SS, the FBI as being Omniscient. They are like gods. I will remind you, a few guys with box cutters changed our country forever. But im sure that’s another tin hat issue.
@@rickrickard2788 see jeff, yt yeeted my comment. Let me try again. You somehow dont believe that the SS was incompetent. But instead want to say that the left somehow were smart enough to do this, but incompetent enough to fail. So the left can be incompetent, but the ss cant. Let me remind you, box cutters were used to change the world forever.
Mt question is why isn't Row fired and why is this lady secret service agent still employed and why isn't anyone of his presidential details investigated and fired.
Well this raises even more questions in my mind. The angle of the person on the ground would be much lower than the angle from the barn. How did the shooter on the ground see him and hit him? That would mean the snipers on the barn had a great view of his whole body. Or a lot more than the man on the ground.
The SWAT officer on the ground knew from radio chatter that the shooter was armed. The SS snipers on the barn opted not to pick up their assigned radios.
Exactly. It's just more evidence that points to the SS letting it happen. They didn't remove Trump from stage and they didn't engage the shooter until well after he fired.
Your attempt to zoom in is appreciated, but you didn't edit into the video correctly. Do you mind doing this again, but showing the output screen at full screen, rather than the whole video editor screen?
Thank you. Came here to say the same. You need to show the actual video on the screen - we don’t want to see how it’s done. Did you watch your own video before posting? Most people will be watching on a phone. Consider that too please!
Maybe the SWAT officer bent down to retrieve the shell from his rifle shot that wasn't supposed to be made public. Why was the body released so fast to be cremated? Why was the roof cleaned with a hose just hours after the shooting? Who authorized that?
@@johnj.baranski6553 Didn't you know investigations get completed in 45 minutes. Haven't you ever seen CSI, FBI, Law and Order, etc... These people are clueless!!
Correct so even this new report from task force can't be proven,cause there's no body.first images of deceased that were unblurred did not show three holes only a entry wound left temple and exit would left occipital lobe.no shratnal injuries.many have close ups of pew pew on roof as well stock not shattered
Once the autopsy is performed and videoed, the body needs to be released to the family, not kept around for years on ice. Everyone that needed to examine it had access to the body for 2 weeks. Nothing was premature
Would they have shot the shooter if he wasn’t compromised by the swat team? They lied about the details, didn’t pickup radios, and didn’t take responsibility for the agr building. Sounds like they were avoiding responsibility and when the shooter was disabled they had no choice but to take him out so he can’t be investigated
This event was the first Trump Rally which utilized the SS Counter Snipers. Why was that? This rally was broadcast live by CNN. Why? More than twice as many SS agents were assigned to the First Lady's event than to the Trump Rally. Why? Was the FBI unaware of the congressional inquiries into the shooting? And why did the FBI allow the body of Crooks to be destroyed before all investigations were completed? These are a few of the irregularities associated with our government's failure in Butler, and it's involvement in what appears to be a conspiracy to eliminate former President Trump.
They cremated the body?! No autopsy? That is not merely incompetence. Charles Whitman, the infamous Texas Tower shooter was also taken out by police gunfire, but the investigation properly included a full autopsy- which, incidentally ,revealed a brain tumor.
They do when they don't want anyone to know the truth. They also hosed down the roof the next day, destroying more evidence. Do they not realize that their actions are telling us that the government was involved? Of course, the liberal media has completely memory holed the whole thing, even trying to say Trump wasn't really shot by a bullet. The guy who died and the two who were critically injured were certainly shot by bullets, but they don't mention them, either.
Yes, When I saw them power washing the roof the day of the shooting before investigation - I knew immediately it was a planned inside operation. Who makes the trip to get a power washer when hours and days of investigative work was just starting?
Love your coverage. I only wish you would have made it full screen for us viewers when you did the zoom in. The picture is too small to see what you are analyzing.
@@johndavidmyself8039 the watched a gallows get built outside the capitol and it did nothing. Afterwards - against ordered to maintain phone records- they destroyed their phones. They were in cahoots with Trump and his insurrectionists.
Being right handed and shooting roughly 15 yards to the right couldn't have put your brass over there on his left side. He was picking up something that the officer with the ladder dropped running past him.
Wise men say that extreme technology is indistinguishable from Magic. Similarly, extreme neglect of duty is indistinguishable from complicity with assassins.
Agree. Just to be precise: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" from hard science-fiction's writer and futurist (Arthur Clarke). And to state second analogy in more obvious way: "Any sufficiently thought and covered assassination complicity is indistinguishable from plain negligence". And of course until we have enough information we could safely call sth a mechanism of yet unknown nature (or 'magic') and secret servc behaviour a negligence.
In the videos where the people are saying “he’s laying down!” You can hear them react to him getting shot. The lady says “ he’s turning this way.” Then you hear the suppressed shot that gets him and you can hear the camera guy say “ohhh.”
Jeffostroff, you are doing a service to the country and the world by continuing to provide analysis of evidence. I saw something earlier by Gray Hughes Investigates. Sound analysis by Mike Bell is very well done. Hopefully you all are keeping up with each other because independent inquiry with a group with your talents is priceless.
Another channel stated the 9th shot by the SWAT sniper hit Crooks’ rifle shattering part of it, hitting Crooks with shrapnel, and rendering his rifle inoperable. Photos of Crooks’ after the 10th fatal shot show a rifle lying there that looks intact, which part shattered? Not clear exactly what happened…? Thank you for all the analytical vids! 👍👍👍👍👍
He covered it in another video about the report. It supposedly hit his stock, which caused shrapnel injuries to the guy, and damaged his buffer tube, rendering the gun useless. No one has provided close up pics of the gun yet so. Just an investigation report.
@@jgibbs6159 it’s not all hearsay. If you mean strictly about the condition of the gun, maybe, to us. But not the entire report, and that is also why it was mentioned that he had yet to see the gun himself. Meaning take alp details with a grain of salt until it can be corroborated.
the official answer from the usss is that they only look outwards for threats and never from buildings inwards. I don't think congress asked them if they'll change the outdated thinking to be taking key vantage points rather than useless outward observation posts.
@@ToploadedGaming USSS refused local LEO radios, drones, set up the PAC-Man perimeter with AGR as huge vulnerability. Greg Nicol leaves his Overwatch sniper post and is AWOL from comms during and almost 2 minutes after shots fired. FBI releases Crooks body 10 days after assassination att J13 when congressional investigation teams were requesting to examine the body. FBI is filmed, cleaning the roof of the blood/brain matter of the shooter 3?days later. USSS didn’t even acknowledge that the Butler sniper had the 9th shot that disabled the shooters gun. You’re either really naïve or have severe TDS, not sure which.
We are still waiting for a press conference from officials and any investigative journalism from the media, but Jeff has done their job, admirably. Spread his videos around.
@@kathywhitaker1042 Obvious, you have never worked a high security event. There are ALWAYS people of interest at events. You don't stop an event because you have people of interest, otherwise events would never happen. Why is he a danger to others, because he had a deadly range finder!! You obviously have no idea of the laws and rights." Sorry Mr. Trump, we saw a person with a range finder, and we can't locate him now. You can't go on stage." You can't be serious! I really wonder how you people operate every day.
@@brianedwards9540Hahaha... Are you serious? It would be more like, "sorry Mr Trump (actually in the US it's more like sorry _President_ Trump but let me not get side-tracked), We've spotted a civilian on the roof with a rifle and you need to get off the stage immediately". But of course there would be no time for niceties of conversation, instead the explanation would be given as they are literally lowering him and simultaneously getting him off. Be serious please.
Crazy that everything I’ve learned about the assassination attempt including all updates has come from random people online. Corporate media isn’t even pretending not to be propaganda anymore.
Thank you, Jeff for further explaining. The day the Higgins report was released, I took the time to go back through some of your videos. This was one of them. I saw the guy in the Khaki pants & thought "is that the SWAT that took the 9th shot"? I'm finally confirmed as being correct. Ha.. But still, why so much secrecy with the information release delay? Couldn't they have said this happened at the beginning? Still think they wanted to conceal a lot of this info but thankfully because of folks like you, Gray & Peak they didn't get away with a lot of nonsense. I firmly think that. Keep going. I'm sure there's a lot more that can be found.
usss: 17 seconds late. Unable to shoot crooks until he stood up. Had high elevation and a flat angle. And only shot him after crooks was already disarmed to Jack Ruby him. Butler Swat: shot him during the 8 round barrage from the ground floor at the weirdest angle possible with roof blocking view of SWAT guy, disabling his rifle. SWAT guy appears to be only running a basic ar15 while USSS has $15,000 rifles that could probably put 5 bullet holes into a dime.
@@scottcrawford4148 glass jumper was actually hercules team 2. They never even fired. My question is why 2nd sniper on team 1 also chose not to fire at all. And these sniper teams aren't running spotting scopes, they run 2 identical sniper rifles.
Those CS teams were set up on other locations on the roof. They had to move to the final positions. Considering those buildings were in close and not even in their field of fire they likely only knew a general direction. The closer team could see anything. They may as well not have existed. The actual team who made the kill may have been looking all over before seeing him. It just plain wasn’t their job to watch that rooftop. The failure here was leadership. Either a garbage plan or failure to execute the plan.
Can somebody say how uch time have passed since TMC was last seen running on the roof to actually shooting his first shot? I mean he had his gun disassembled in his backpack? Since he's not a vet trooper it should take quite a while to get it out an assemble before even trying to aim
@@mpetty9947 i dont get this. If it were the president, okay maybe. But this was the shooter, and they performed an autopsy, took pics, did far more than was done for jfk. The family has rights too, and I believe it was normal for them to release the body once the investigation got what it needed. Whether or not another one was being formed, it wasn’t, so what legal precedent is there for the coroner to keep the body from the family? I mean, unless we are trying to say, well maybe he had a cyanide pill, or evidence of a conspiracy, and other conspirators on his person, okay, that would’ve been collected and would be free to examine to this day, if it were the case. I mean, are you supposing someone else killed him? Makes no sense.
@@ToploadedGaming Those three guys that froze behind their friend’s house around the time of the Super Bowl had huge delays in getting bodies back as I recall. Still no autopsy report to families after the ritual unaliving.
It’s unbelievable that the local police knew about Crooks having a gun on the roof for 3 minutes or so before he started shooting and not one of them had the foresight to run over towards the stage and alert the secret service to get Trump off of the stage. Those cops should have been able to phone or radio the secret service and let them know. Absolutely no communication between the local law enforcement and the secret service. I blame the secret service for not coordinating with the local police ahead of time to make sure they could communicate with each other throughout the rally. Incompetence!
How about the patrol car cops not blasting their sirens and shouting over the vehicle megaphones that "THERE'S A MAN ON THE ROOF" so that everyone would know and the SS would have time to react and get President Trump off the stage before Crooks took his shots.
I hope the girl in white gets interviewed and her info is released. I would like to know why she was in the secured/rally area yet she is by herself over by the fence looking toward the AGR building
This seems to be where the separate communications channels come in to play. I'm not sure the "armed with a gun" info was that clear and early. It does seem logical for such info to merit getting the target off stage, assuming it reached the SS team in time. At least the Hercules team adjusted themselves to target the bad guy before he shot, allowing a quick fatal shot.
@@televishenimoniker5546Quick? 18 seconds after Crooks 1st shot is not quick it's incompetent. They were searching the roof at least 2 min before the 1st shot was fired.
The kid didnt even hide he was walking around BOLD AS BRASS waiting for a meeting that never happened. They didnt stop him because he needed to be on the roof. THE KID WAS BAIT. ( COME ON MAN ) .
Man, the angles don't add up here. Look at where Crooks' body is on roof - about 6ft behind the crest of the roof line - dead from a headshot. i.e., he didn't move when hit. A person standing on the ground 120 yards in front of him could not possibly see Crooks' below the crest line. In other words, he could not siganl affirmation of the kill shot because it wouldn't be possible for him to have seen it. Maybe, he heard through coms he was down, but he didn't see it. Further, "if" he did hear it on coms, it wasn't a SS kill shot then, because they weren't on the same channels.
How did the SS Sniper do not see the shooter with a rifle from a high ground position and the SWAT man was able to take the shot from the ground? Just don’t get it.
The south snipers had a great view because of their elevation. Much much better than the swatt shooter on the ground. That doesn't help alleviate conspiracies in fact it makes it look like the SS snipers deliberately waited. They were lined up for a shot before the shooting began. For the moment we assume the sniper on the ground would have been reacting to the first shots and quickly locates the shooter from his terrible view from the ground. But maybe he had heard on the radio there's a guy on the roof and was already looking through his scope for the guy.
The snipers knew at least 2 minutes earlier. You can see them aiming at the AGR building right when the local officer reported someone on the roof. This story about communication problems is about as plausible as the roof slope excuse. Obviously the sniper had a clear opportunity before the shooting began. It's slightly possible there was confusion about whether Crooks was police, but that would have resulted in them not shooting at all. It seems like without that SWAT officer, Crooks would have had plenty of time to finish the job. Perhaps the secret service can somehow defend their position, but right now they are lying and withholding evidence so I don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
@@peterjsmith5918 You are right that this is the crux of the conspiracy, not that there were other shooters, but that Crooks could have been stopped but he was allowed to begin shooting, then silenced. Were the SS snipers told to hold fire?
I’m confused because the report claims the buffer tube and stock was shot by the 9th shot fragging into pieces hitting Crooks, but if you look at the body cam of the Beaver PD on the roof (Michelle and 2 other guys), the rifle appears perfectly intact..?
I don't buy the fragmented 🔫story. That didn't come out until just recently. Seems they had to come up with a story to try and fit what everyone was talking about. Way too many problems with their stories on that day. I still want an explanation of the shady 🔫 hand-off outside the AGR.
@@tammy5926exactly, timing of task force report just to have a hero in the story.no body to calibrate their story.we all knew of the 9th shot,but reported as a miss
Considering there's shooting going on, those cops and SS seem awfully calm. Don't even drop their waters. Strolling around on a hot summers day. The guy in the gray suit, and his buddy give me the creeps...something sinister about them.
I'm still perplexed as to why this guy inconspicuously ran across the roof in an upright position, with no consideration that there might be a sniper on the water tower. Yes, he had flown a drone two hours earlier (another perplexing anomaly) scouting out the event layout, but the SS snipers didn't take their positions on the roofs until 10-15 minutes before Trump came out. That guy was on the opposite side of the building in relation to the water tower when he was spotted. Did he just assume there would be no one on the water tower, or, did he know there would be no one on the water tower? For someone that was as smart as people claim he was, why would he assume no one was on the water tower. Seems to me to be the best place a counter sniper team would be located as it had the best overall view of the entire event...and beyond! Allegedly he had been at the site a few weeks before the rally scoping out the site, but how could he know the layout of the stage at that point, and where his best vantage point would be to even consider taking a shot at Trump? And why would the North SS snipers have an obstruction to the exact part of the roof that crooks would take his shot from? How would Crooks know where to position himself on the roof, so as to be obstructed from the North snipers view if they didn't take their positions until minutes before Trump came out? Instead of shooting at Trump, it seems he should have played the lottery instead!
Also as he ran over the rooftops, how did he know there was nobody positioned in the side window on the second storey building there, with a direct view to him.
The ladder for the water tower is kept 25 ft. off the ground so no one was going up there without it being lowered. The SS never had any body outside the venue so he knew he would be safe.
They are running to the tent for protection not because it'll stop bullets but because the vast majority of the time folks don't shoot at what they cant see.
We know that. The issue is, instead of taking cover behind the rigging or even a corner of the tent, they totally removed themselves. Had they ducked behind the rigging, they could've directed fire if needed. Instead, they ran and hid. Edit: and had they drawn fire, they'd have been doing their job as it would've moved it away from the stage.
They left the female citizen at the fence line. Not one of those men screaming get down, run this way or trying to assist her. They went to hide. I am tired af hearing how the females failed that day. Clearly the Secret Service has no obligation to citizens and only themselves and the former President.
Would swat even have body cams? I wouldn’t think they would, for the same reason the SS wouldn’t. Isn’t it a cop thing. I mean, i dont expect detectives or fbi homicide investigator’s to have body cams. I mean, i could be wrong about swat, Im just not taking it for granted.
@@jeffostroff perhaps yea... I just feel like its 2024 and all these agencies should all have cameras. Also, I just realized your local to me - here in S FL. :-)
@@BCABPP Yeah you say that but thats clearly wrong, they didnt even put sensor cameras around the place. So you cant just assume they have cameras everywhere. You guys constantly defund your police. so it is what it is.
Why does the Secret Service video have an incorrect timestamp? There is no excuse. The incorrect timestamp adds to confusion and makes it harder to correlate with other video. If the local police and all the local camera people can have the correct time from their phones, why can't the Secret Service video that it releases have a correct time stamp?
I found the body language of the cop carrying the AR15 by it's barrel out of the building to lean it on the handrail & then be removed by a Butler cop a bit sus.Whose gun was it?
If you look at Buttler farms on google earth, or google maps, it appears the south SS snipers had a clear view of crooks of 15 to 20 feet past the left edge of the tree, which was obscuring the north SS sniper team. Crooks body and blood stain position was 20 roof panels over from the right side of the AGR building. The SS guys had an elevation advantage of 18.7 feet. The distance was about 553 feet.
Hi Scott, I agree with regarding the south barn Counter Sniper team having an elevation advantage. How was your 18.7 ft elevation calculated? It is great information! 😊
@@winniehumphreys3451 I cannot find the guy that made the video with the height chart anymore. The sniper building is clearly higher than the AGR. Those guys could have shot a mouse off the AGR roof.
Scott, thank u for looking for that video. Yes, the assassination attempt definitely seems to be a set-up. I wish someone with authority and no bias could go to the south barn roof to obtain real info! Be safe! 😎
Beaver County ESU is STILL covering for Greg Nicol leaving his post overlooking the roof and then telling everyone Crooks was heading away from the rally
And not hearing the commotion outside his window he never heard people yelling he has a gun etc etc . The dashcam from the officer who got up on the roof ,Greg walks out the door of the building where Crook's was firing from ,very very casual. He needs investigating 🔎
@davidmann6902 And also his buddy, the 2nd Beaver sniper? The guy in the ball cap sitting on the picnic table. Guy who left his shift 1 minute before Nicol at 8 pm and waited for his pal Greg, to leave together. His body language was "a great day at work, all done now."
I love your channel and you've been doing a great job. The only critique I have is the way you refer to conspiracy theories with derision and mockery. It's a natural human need to come up with hypothesis trying to understand things, especially when information is scarce or being withheld. I only say this because the main street media and government dismissed legitimate concerns during the pandemic as nothing but conspiracy theories. As a result, conspiracy theories became synonymous with people who are uninformed idiots and most of those conservative. I'm not necessarily sure I have a solution for you, maybe consider using different terminology like crackpot theories etc.. The reason I suggest this is so that you don't alienate conservatives who admittedly have a hair trigger reaction when someone mocks conspiracy theories thinking that the individual doing so might also have mocked or will mock legitimate theories. Thanks again for your diligent and detailed analysis to help us get clarity.
The official recordings not being accurately timed is a disgrace. Especially since these are used for forensic analyses. Make radio-controlled clocks the standard, dammit!
Radio control probably isn't a good choice because it is too hard to keep a consistent signal at those frequencies. There is no good way to sync to that signal without long, undisturbed reception periods. Radio also requires additional hardware. OTOH all these things are networked frequently if not constantly and could easily be synced to the second using NTP with a trivial software addition or within milliseconds with slightly more complex software.
It is impossible now to explain why the SS took 16 seconds to fire when Butler Swat was 30 feet below the counter sniper team and managed a firing window and a shot in six seconds.
bribery. Also Hercules 1 had 2 armed snipers, they should have both fired. Instead only 1 of them fired at the now unarmed assassin while the other stood still and did nothing but spot despite also having a rifle.
@@warrenklein7817 congress report said the police told ss to grab their radios twice. ss ignored it. perhaps they thought they were too good for lowly bumpkin radios? who knows.
@@jason200912 One of the Hercules teams didn't have line of sight, because of the tree. That was the team claimed by some to have flinched when the shooting started. They looked up from their scopes and let their rifle drop. I don't think that was a flinch. I think it was frustration.
your diagram at 13:30 has the shooter placed too far left on the roof. He was to the right of the breezeway in the 20th panel. That skews your angles for the other shooters.
What a strange scene. 1 officer who is aiming at Crooks from a lower disadvantage, in the wide open, no cover, able to determine immediately where crooks is. Several agents run away into the tent to hide (?). 2 other men emerge from another tent looking totally casual and having no reaction to what's going on. As though they were gently lulled outside.
@@karmenpass2134 @karmenpass2134 Yes, I'd like to see the reenactment of that, too. As for the other 2 men emerging into an active scene, no situational awareness?

Or it was made up,to make local police look good after all the coward body cam footage that's been out
EXACTLY!!!!
@@tracibloodworth The FBI & SS spy on us, they no longer for us.

Jeff definitely has dispelled some of the false rumors on the subject.
Yeah what a badass you informed us very well on eveything without going down a single rabbit hole... offended a few conspiracy theorists but God dammed it we almost got there thanks to you! ❤
You are using someone else’s video and can barely see anything. This is the one of your worst videos.
@@whartonitec1041 Ask the CIA for their crystal clear footage.
You’ve the best coverage and explanation around. I bet the investigative task force is releasing the videos that they don’t understand and then watching your videos to explain it. Just wait til the final report comes out and you declare, Nailed it!.
A matter of fire control. The Fed snipers were shooting into friendly positions with no communications from Butlers. The Butler swat sniper had knowledge(direct radio contact) what and where the shooter was. Is no one impressed he shot on shoulder standing?
well not really, in my country, any solider can shoot standing or prone unsupported accurately out to 300 metres (not yards) and that building was pretty close to the fence in the scheme of things.
Just like hunters do in open range. He had knowledge ofvhis rifle and was confident in it being true. I am an 81 year old woman who had been hunting with my folks from thevtime Ivcould walk but with my own rifle from 12 years old. We got our deer every year for our freezer. Good reporting.
❤❤❤❤❤
I forgot to consider it was a friendly position, secret service could have mistook him for a friendly sniper at first
Good shot but if you practice offhand shooting it's not a miracle, it's a skill. I'm almost as good offhand as benched because I mostly shoot offhand.
Yeah, good observation, the AGR building *wouldn't* have been an area of Interest with a secret service pair inside facing north and a team from Butler county occupying the complex.
That's pretty badass - standing out in an open field, facing a terrorist sniper who is shooting in your direction, scoring a hit to the guy's rifle, and then continuing to stand there until the bad guy is taken out.
@@TheAzmountaineer yes he was! Free beer for hat bro
The lady in the blue running toward the body cam after the shot is a campaign staffer, she was handing out signs to those of us in the stands behind Trump earlier in the day. I’m assuming those in suits running into the tents were also staffers. Idk if this helps clarify anything, but I thought I’d share my perspective and recollection of the event.

i thought Secret Service is supposed to run toward danger not run for cover in a tent. That SWAT officer was the only one to take action.
Yes I agree, so I think they might have been Trump staffers
I’m disappointed in most 3-letter federal agencies anymore. Local officers are the ones that will protect and serve.
I am still wondering why the secret service snipers that took him out were just packing up and leaving after taking him out. It seems odd they would not be maintaining their position for a while until they can be questioned.
The tent was used for concealment. Cover would be something that stops bullets. USSS sole responsibility is for the prez. LEOs are sworn to protect all souls.

CIA blew the mission. SWAT guy screwed it up for them.
Did he? He knew there was someone on the roof and yet didn't fire until the president was shot.
Did he though?
Secret Service at the very least.
@@SamSam-ih6nt Technically the hit already went down. Only the turn of the head saved him. He did react quickly. SS very definitely, did not and only hit the guy after he was down and neutralized.
It was a quick reaction but they all knew the suspect was on the roof AND then armed after the patrolman called it in.
@avgjoe5969
Incredible situation.
SWAT officer disables gun, Secret Service forced to kill witness.

Whaaat?
Uhhh, if by witness, you mean the lone assassin (until actual evidence points at a conspiracy). It is very amazing that he made it to the roof after being so suspicious, but so far, no proof that he had help, beyond incompetance of others.
@@televishenimoniker5546 one day you will stop believing in coincidences, that day came for me long ago!
The "conspiracy" has never been about, "they didn't shoot". At least, not in anything I've been posting- it's that this was INTENTIONAL, and ALLOWED. Scenes are NOT set up like this, to protect presidents, former presidents, nor potential presidents, who's lives are under threat. This wasn't incompetence. Who the hell sets themselves up on a roof, if ANY PART, of ANY HIGHGROUND, where ANY ASSASSIN might shoot from, isn't both visible, and covered by the Secret Service?
Who does NOT coordinate with the local police, nor have joint radios to share instant information, nor have DRONES in 2024 America, when talking about THE most "elite" protection forces in existence? NO ONE DOES- not unless they're SETTING UP a situation to ALLOW someone to do, what was done here.
Key word is allowed. It is somewhat similar to lying by omission. Both very subtle forms of passive aggression.
@@rickrickard2788 if you are truly following this, there is audio of cops, swat, whoever it was saying they were supposed to be there, and another that saw the shooter thinking it was one of there guys, because someone was supposed to be there.

Jeff, your investigation and collection of videos are all so outstanding. Thank you so much man.
No autopsy, they cremated his body 10 days after the shooting. Extremely strange
I believe the county medical examiner performed an autopsy.
Coroner Report: "Head go boom."
Mt question is why isn't Row fired and why is this lady secret service agent still employed and why isn't anyone of his presidential details investigated and fired.
In the "Government" the Incompetent get Promoted....
Well this raises even more questions in my mind. The angle of the person on the ground would be much lower than the angle from the barn. How did the shooter on the ground see him and hit him? That would mean the snipers on the barn had a great view of his whole body. Or a lot more than the man on the ground.
The SWAT officer on the ground knew from radio chatter that the shooter was armed. The SS snipers on the barn opted not to pick up their assigned radios.
The SS snipers reacted immediately to the radio chatter about him being on the roof. They knew.
Exactly. It's just more evidence that points to the SS letting it happen. They didn't remove Trump from stage and they didn't engage the shooter until well after he fired.
I'm from newzealand I agree how cud swat sniper c him but ss cudnt wtf
the point is the angle makes crooks difficult to see
Your attempt to zoom in is appreciated, but you didn't edit into the video correctly. Do you mind doing this again, but showing the output screen at full screen, rather than the whole video editor screen?

Also you can move frame by frame with arrow keys and not have to drag the time manually with the mouse haha
The more we see what went on that day the more we understand what a catastrophic failure the authorities are. The lack of communication is mindblowing
Maybe the SWAT officer bent down to retrieve the shell from his rifle shot that wasn't supposed to be made public.
Why was the body released so fast to be cremated? Why was the roof cleaned with a hose just hours after the shooting? Who authorized that?
All that shooting, and two guys are out for a calm stroll!????

Or even outside the building. Dude just got up in a prime spot like he owned the place.

are you unable "to read the room"
they wanted him dead
We’re not playing imagine if.
Usually you assume things would go better , but in reality I can only think of how much worse this could’ve been.
.....Just imagine. 🤔
There is no body of the shooter, it was cremated prematurely.
Yea the Congressman wanted to do his own autopsy, LOL. Because you know the coroner is part of it.
Seems quite racist to me
Correct so even this new report from task force can't be proven,cause there's no body.first images of deceased that were unblurred did not show three holes only a entry wound left temple and exit would left occipital lobe.no shratnal injuries.many have close ups of pew pew on roof as well stock not shattered
Once the autopsy is performed and videoed, the body needs to be released to the family, not kept around for years on ice. Everyone that needed to examine it had access to the body for 2 weeks. Nothing was premature
@JoeS97756 I'm sure the coroner was part of "it".
Would they have shot the shooter if he wasn’t compromised by the swat team? They lied about the details, didn’t pickup radios, and didn’t take responsibility for the agr building. Sounds like they were avoiding responsibility and when the shooter was disabled they had no choice but to take him out so he can’t be investigated
This event was the first Trump Rally which utilized the SS Counter Snipers. Why was that? This rally was broadcast live by CNN. Why? More than twice as many SS agents were assigned to the First Lady's event than to the Trump Rally. Why? Was the FBI unaware of the congressional inquiries into the shooting? And why did the FBI allow the body of Crooks to be destroyed before all investigations were completed? These are a few of the irregularities associated with our government's failure in Butler, and it's involvement in what appears to be a conspiracy to eliminate former President Trump.
We are never going to know the truth unfortunately.

To prevent Congressional Task Force from getting to the truth, imo.
Yes Michel Greg Nicole’s wife just happened to be Deputy Coroner
They cremated the body?! No autopsy? That is not merely incompetence. Charles Whitman, the infamous Texas Tower shooter was also taken out by police gunfire, but the investigation properly included a full autopsy- which, incidentally ,revealed a brain tumor.
They do when they don't want anyone to know the truth. They also hosed down the roof the next day, destroying more evidence. Do they not realize that their actions are telling us that the government was involved? Of course, the liberal media has completely memory holed the whole thing, even trying to say Trump wasn't really shot by a bullet. The guy who died and the two who were critically injured were certainly shot by bullets, but they don't mention them, either.
Yes, When I saw them power washing the roof the day of the shooting before investigation - I knew immediately it was a planned inside operation.
Who makes the trip to get a power washer when hours and days of investigative work was just starting?

No, that was something that fell off the ladder carrier, watch the vid at 3:30 it falls off the ladder guy
Being right handed and shooting roughly 15 yards to the right couldn't have put your brass over there on his left side. He was picking up something that the officer with the ladder dropped running past him.

Hopefully you all are keeping up with each other because independent inquiry with a group with your talents is priceless.
Another channel stated the 9th shot by the SWAT sniper hit Crooks’ rifle shattering part of it, hitting Crooks with shrapnel, and rendering his rifle inoperable. Photos of Crooks’ after the 10th fatal shot show a rifle lying there that looks intact, which part shattered? Not clear exactly what happened…? Thank you for all the analytical vids! 👍👍👍👍👍
He covered it in another video about the report. It supposedly hit his stock, which caused shrapnel injuries to the guy, and damaged his buffer tube, rendering the gun useless. No one has provided close up pics of the gun yet so. Just an investigation report.
I mentioned it on my last video, they said the stock got hit, maybe it was the other side of it
As jeff said, He explained it before in a previous video. You should watch it so you can see the report documents which he shows.
That report is all speculation and hearsay though. They haven't actually inspected the rifle yet.
@@jgibbs6159 it’s not all hearsay. If you mean strictly about the condition of the gun, maybe, to us. But not the entire report, and that is also why it was mentioned that he had yet to see the gun himself. Meaning take alp details with a grain of salt until it can be corroborated.
i still don't understand why no S.S. was on the roof where the assassin was, something really fishy going on !!

1:34 Can we talk about the cop ducking behind the big rig and the suits running in the tent when the shots start?
Well, that cop ducking behind the rig had to because his shooting hand was incapacitated by a bottle of water in it.

Thank you, Jeff for further explaining. The day the Higgins report was released, I took the time to go back through some of your videos. This was one of them. I saw the guy in the Khaki pants & thought "is that the SWAT that took the 9th shot"? I'm finally confirmed as being correct. Ha.. But still, why so much secrecy with the information release delay? Couldn't they have said this happened at the beginning? Still think they wanted to conceal a lot of this info but thankfully because of folks like you, Gray & Peak they didn't get away with a lot of nonsense. I firmly think that. Keep going. I'm sure there's a lot more that can be found.
Jeff, had you been around in Nov. of '63, the notion that Oswald acted entirely alone would never have passed muster.
usss: 17 seconds late. Unable to shoot crooks until he stood up. Had high elevation and a flat angle. And only shot him after crooks was already disarmed to Jack Ruby him.
Butler Swat: shot him during the 8 round barrage from the ground floor at the weirdest angle possible with roof blocking view of SWAT guy, disabling his rifle. SWAT guy appears to be only running a basic ar15 while USSS has $15,000 rifles that could probably put 5 bullet holes into a dime.
USSS were set to go, but jumped off the glass when Crook's started opening fire.

@@scottcrawford4148 glass jumper was actually hercules team 2. They never even fired. My question is why 2nd sniper on team 1 also chose not to fire at all. And these sniper teams aren't running spotting scopes, they run 2 identical sniper rifles.

Those CS teams were set up on other locations on the roof. They had to move to the final positions.

The actual team who made the kill may have been looking all over before seeing him. It just plain wasn’t their job to watch that rooftop. The failure here was leadership.

It’s unbelievable that the local police knew about Crooks having a gun on the roof for 3 minutes or so before he started shooting and not one of them had the foresight to run over towards the stage and alert the secret service to get Trump off of the stage. Those cops should have been able to phone or radio the secret service and let them know.
Absolutely no communication between the local law enforcement and the secret service. I blame the secret service for not coordinating with the local police ahead of time to make sure they could communicate with each other throughout the rally. Incompetence!

Remember, the locals have already said the SS people didn't pick up the radios they had provided for them.

It does seem logical for such info to merit getting the target off stage, assuming it reached the SS team in time. At least the Hercules team adjusted themselves to target the bad guy before he shot, allowing a quick fatal shot.
Well sir, that is the trillion dollar question.
@@televishenimoniker5546Quick? 18 seconds after Crooks 1st shot is not quick it's incompetent. They were searching the roof at least 2 min before the 1st shot was fired.
The kid didnt even hide he was walking around BOLD AS BRASS waiting for a meeting that never happened. They didnt stop him because he needed to be on the roof. THE KID WAS BAIT. ( COME ON MAN ) .
Man, the angles don't add up here. Look at where Crooks' body is on roof - about 6ft behind the crest of the roof line - dead from a headshot. i.e., he didn't move when hit. A person standing on the ground 120 yards in front of him could not possibly see Crooks' below the crest line. In other words, he could not siganl affirmation of the kill shot because it wouldn't be possible for him to have seen it. Maybe, he heard through coms he was down, but he didn't see it. Further, "if" he did hear it on coms, it wasn't a SS kill shot then, because they weren't on the same channels.
How did the SS Sniper do not see the shooter with a rifle from a high ground position and the SWAT man was able to take the shot from the ground? Just don’t get it.
BTW, those "pines" are Mediterranean Cypress, aka Italian Cypress. You are welcome, lol.
The south snipers had a great view because of their elevation. Much much better than the swatt shooter on the ground. That doesn't help alleviate conspiracies in fact it makes it look like the SS snipers deliberately waited. They were lined up for a shot before the shooting began. For the moment we assume the sniper on the ground would have been reacting to the first shots and quickly locates the shooter from his terrible view from the ground. But maybe he had heard on the radio there's a guy on the roof and was already looking through his scope for the guy.
It has already circulated they were told to wait. Remember?!
The snipers knew at least 2 minutes earlier. You can see them aiming at the AGR building right when the local officer reported someone on the roof. This story about communication problems is about as plausible as the roof slope excuse.
Obviously the sniper had a clear opportunity before the shooting began. It's slightly possible there was confusion about whether Crooks was police, but that would have resulted in them not shooting at all. It seems like without that SWAT officer, Crooks would have had plenty of time to finish the job. Perhaps the secret service can somehow defend their position, but right now they are lying and withholding evidence so I don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
@@peterjsmith5918 You are right that this is the crux of the conspiracy, not that there were other shooters, but that Crooks could have been stopped but he was allowed to begin shooting, then silenced. Were the SS snipers told to hold fire?
From what I understand the South team was facing the opposite direction and had to swing over to the direction of the AGR building.
@@davidh7398 The South facing team were facing south, they repositioned a few minutes prior.
Hi Jeff. Thanks for another great vid.
I’m confused because the report claims the buffer tube and stock was shot by the 9th shot fragging into pieces hitting Crooks, but if you look at the body cam of the Beaver PD on the roof (Michelle and 2 other guys), the rifle appears perfectly intact..?
I don't buy the fragmented 🔫story. That didn't come out until just recently. Seems they had to come up with a story to try and fit what everyone was talking about. Way too many problems with their stories on that day. I still want an explanation of the shady 🔫 hand-off outside the AGR.
It was likely an officer's rifle not crooks.
@@tammy5926The more answers we get the more questions they make.
@@tammy5926exactly, timing of task force report just to have a hero in the story.no body to calibrate their story.we all knew of the 9th shot,but reported as a miss
@@tammy5926 my thoughts exactly.
Glad to see this comment section gets it.
Considering there's shooting going on, those cops and SS seem awfully calm. Don't even drop their waters.
Strolling around on a hot summers day.
The guy in the gray suit, and his buddy give me the creeps...something sinister about them.
Agree 100%
I'm still perplexed as to why this guy inconspicuously ran across the roof in an upright position, with no consideration that there might be a sniper on the water tower. Yes, he had flown a drone two hours earlier (another perplexing anomaly) scouting out the event layout, but the SS snipers didn't take their positions on the roofs until 10-15 minutes before Trump came out. That guy was on the opposite side of the building in relation to the water tower when he was spotted. Did he just assume there would be no one on the water tower, or, did he know there would be no one on the water tower? For someone that was as smart as people claim he was, why would he assume no one was on the water tower. Seems to me to be the best place a counter sniper team would be located as it had the best overall view of the entire event...and beyond!
Allegedly he had been at the site a few weeks before the rally scoping out the site, but how could he know the layout of the stage at that point, and where his best vantage point would be to even consider taking a shot at Trump? And why would the North SS snipers have an obstruction to the exact part of the roof that crooks would take his shot from? How would Crooks know where to position himself on the roof, so as to be obstructed from the North snipers view if they didn't take their positions until minutes before Trump came out?
Instead of shooting at Trump, it seems he should have played the lottery instead!
Also as he ran over the rooftops, how did he know there was nobody positioned in the side window on the second storey building there, with a direct view to him.
@@saratemp790 Yes, another great question!
The ladder for the water tower is kept 25 ft. off the ground so no one was going up there without it being lowered. The SS never had any body outside the venue so he knew he would be safe.
I really appreciate you staying on top of this please don't stop
That's what she said
@@dp8262 perfect
BIG thank you Jeff!
How is there still no report how often the guy was hit !? There is still zero information ! This is ridiculous
SWAT officer that took the shot was standing by while the group was going to the gate. He actually bends over and pucks up his brass!
picks
Actually, he picks up something that Running Ladder Man dropped at 3:27
They are running to the tent for protection not because it'll stop bullets but because the vast majority of the time folks don't shoot at what they cant see.
We know that. The issue is, instead of taking cover behind the rigging or even a corner of the tent, they totally removed themselves. Had they ducked behind the rigging, they could've directed fire if needed. Instead, they ran and hid. Edit: and had they drawn fire, they'd have been doing their job as it would've moved it away from the stage.
They left the female citizen at the fence line. Not one of those men screaming get down, run this way or trying to assist her.
They went to hide. I am tired af hearing how the females failed that day. Clearly the Secret Service has no obligation to citizens and only themselves and the former President.
_And to return fire you _*_need_*_ to identify the enemy_
@@ifv2089 And in this case, realistically, you'd need a rifle.
@Sherman62 yes exactly you not fighting a rifle with a pistol at these ranges and it's not recommended.
Why don't we have that SWAT guys camera footage yet? You would think they would want to have that out there...
HE might not have a bodycam
Would swat even have body cams? I wouldn’t think they would, for the same reason the SS wouldn’t. Isn’t it a cop thing. I mean, i dont expect detectives or fbi homicide investigator’s to have body cams. I mean, i could be wrong about swat, Im just not taking it for granted.
@@jeffostroff perhaps yea... I just feel like its 2024 and all these agencies should all have cameras.
Also, I just realized your local to me - here in S FL. :-)
@@BCABPP well that would be nice huh. But, defunding the police definitely won’t help that.
@@BCABPP Yeah you say that but thats clearly wrong, they didnt even put sensor cameras around the place. So you cant just assume they have cameras everywhere. You guys constantly defund your police. so it is what it is.
Why does the Secret Service video have an incorrect timestamp? There is no excuse. The incorrect timestamp adds to confusion and makes it harder to correlate with other video. If the local police and all the local camera people can have the correct time from their phones, why can't the Secret Service video that it releases have a correct time stamp?
I found the body language of the cop carrying the AR15 by it's barrel out of the building to lean it on the handrail & then be removed by a Butler cop a bit sus.Whose gun was it?
How does a SWAT shooter hit Crooks when he was down on the ground and Crooks was lying down on the other side of the roof?
shot at his muzzle flash, got the buffer tube, gas won't cycle the weapon. Crooks would have had to manually operate like a bolt action.
How do you know he was lying down at that point in time?
He shot and hit the rifle stock of the shooter which caused him to raise his head up to examine his rifle and the snipers took him out!!
@@JammyCrackcorn That seems more plausible than that Crooks stood up after his rifle was struck.
If you look at Buttler farms on google earth, or google maps, it appears the south SS snipers had a clear view of crooks of 15 to 20 feet past the left edge of the tree, which was obscuring the north SS sniper team. Crooks body and blood stain position was 20 roof panels over from the right side of the AGR building. The SS guys had an elevation advantage of 18.7 feet. The distance was about 553 feet.
Hi Scott, I agree with regarding the south barn Counter Sniper team having an elevation advantage. How was your 18.7 ft elevation calculated? It is great information! 😊
@@winniehumphreys3451 I cannot find the guy that made the video with the height chart anymore. The sniper building is clearly higher than the AGR. Those guys could have shot a mouse off the AGR roof.
Scott, thank u for looking for that video. Yes, the assassination attempt definitely seems to be a set-up. I wish someone with authority and no bias could go to the south barn roof to obtain real info! Be safe! 😎
@@scottturner-zm1vu Mike Bell made the video with the height chart
Body cams without the correct time stamp? What is even the point? That's kind of a joke.
I thought they said the body cams are syncretized automatically as all the cell phones.
@@xiaoli5566 that would make a lot of sense but in the video he says they're 12 seconds behind.
Superb Analysis as allways Jeff ... Could you tell me what video editing software your using in this video? Thanks
Beaver County ESU is STILL covering for Greg Nicol leaving his post overlooking the roof and then telling everyone Crooks was heading away from the rally
And not hearing the commotion outside his window he never heard people yelling he has a gun etc etc .
The dashcam from the officer who got up on the roof ,Greg walks out the door of the building where Crook's was firing from ,very very casual.
He needs investigating 🔎
@davidmann6902 And also his buddy, the 2nd Beaver sniper? The guy in the ball cap sitting on the picnic table. Guy who left his shift 1 minute before Nicol at 8 pm and waited for his pal Greg, to leave together. His body language was "a great day at work, all done now."
I love your channel and you've been doing a great job. The only critique I have is the way you refer to conspiracy theories with derision and mockery. It's a natural human need to come up with hypothesis trying to understand things, especially when information is scarce or being withheld. I only say this because the main street media and government dismissed legitimate concerns during the pandemic as nothing but conspiracy theories. As a result, conspiracy theories became synonymous with people who are uninformed idiots and most of those conservative. I'm not necessarily sure I have a solution for you, maybe consider using different terminology like crackpot theories etc..
The reason I suggest this is so that you don't alienate conservatives who admittedly have a hair trigger reaction when someone mocks conspiracy theories thinking that the individual doing so might also have mocked or will mock legitimate theories. Thanks again for your diligent and detailed analysis to help us get clarity.
The official recordings not being accurately timed is a disgrace. Especially since these are used for forensic analyses. Make radio-controlled clocks the standard, dammit!
Radio control probably isn't a good choice because it is too hard to keep a consistent signal at those frequencies. There is no good way to sync to that signal without long, undisturbed reception periods. Radio also requires additional hardware. OTOH all these things are networked frequently if not constantly and could easily be synced to the second using NTP with a trivial software addition or within milliseconds with slightly more complex software.
Gray Hughes is amazing with his video skills- he sees things others overlook….
Thank u jeff for the videos and explanations
You are doing a great job,I have been watching since the Condo collapse,as I used to work in Miami and the Beach great job. Doing the analysis!!
Dang nothing on autopsy report and body was cremated
.what a cover up
It is impossible now to explain why the SS took 16 seconds to fire when Butler Swat was 30 feet below the counter sniper team and managed a firing window and a shot in six seconds.
bribery. Also Hercules 1 had 2 armed snipers, they should have both fired. Instead only 1 of them fired at the now unarmed assassin while the other stood still and did nothing but spot despite also having a rifle.
SS counter snipers didn't have local police audio.
@@warrenklein7817 congress report said the police told ss to grab their radios twice. ss ignored it. perhaps they thought they were too good for lowly bumpkin radios? who knows.
@michellephillips9019 Another thing not mentioned anymore is the order for SS counter snipers to stand down.
@@jason200912 One of the Hercules teams didn't have line of sight, because of the tree. That was the team claimed by some to have flinched when the shooting started. They looked up from their scopes and let their rifle drop. I don't think that was a flinch. I think it was frustration.
your diagram at 13:30 has the shooter placed too far left on the roof. He was to the right of the breezeway in the 20th panel. That skews your angles for the other shooters.
What a strange scene. 1 officer who is aiming at Crooks from a lower disadvantage, in the wide open, no cover, able to determine immediately where crooks is. Several agents run away into the tent to hide (?). 2 other men emerge from another tent looking totally casual and having no reaction to what's going on. As though they were gently lulled outside.
Ya and the cop supposed to hit a rifle stock on the other side that was four feet from top ridge? I will believe when I see a reanactment
@@karmenpass2134
@karmenpass2134
Yes, I'd like to see the reenactment of that, too. As for the other 2 men emerging into an active scene, no situational awareness?
It is with sadness that I say I don't trust the Secret Service anymore.
