Agreed, well deserved resignation and I think that also has to do with the news winding down. People were able to see someone get punished and put down the pitchforks - although sadly I'm sure she had some kind of sweet pension deal and/or will just go back to some rich corporate job.
He was on that plan/detail and not NATO meeting only?Quote:
I mean that move loses a bit of credibility when the successor is the person who actually declined the requests for additional support. She fell on her sword as a figure head just to put the actual main perpetrator in the seat at the top.
They denied enhanced security for months. He was part of that.aggiehawg said:He was on that plan/detail and not NATO meeting only?Quote:

Quote:
Gunman at Trump Rally Was Often a Step Ahead of the Secret Service
Text messages, obtained exclusively by The Times, indicate that some law enforcement officers were aware of Thomas Crooks earlier than previously known. And he was aware of them.
Nearly 100 minutes before former President Donald J. Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending.
"Guys I am out. Be safe," he texted to a group of colleagues at 4:19 p.m. on July 13. He exited the second floor of a warehouse that overlooked the campaign rally site, leaving two other countersnipers behind.
Outside, the officer noticed a young man with long stringy hair sitting on a picnic table near the warehouse. So at 4:26 p.m., he texted his colleagues about the man, who was outside the fenced area of the Butler Fair Show grounds where Mr. Trump was to appear. He said that the person would have seen him come out with his rifle and "knows you guys are up there."
The countersniper who sent the texts confirmed to The New York Times that the individual he saw was later identified as the gunman.
By 5:10 p.m., the young man was no longer on the picnic table. He was right below the countersnipers, who were upstairs in a warehouse owned by AGR International. One of the countersnipers took pictures of him, according to a law enforcement after-action report, which along with the texts from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit was provided to The Times by the office of Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa.
At 5:38 p.m., the photos were shared in a group chat, and another text went out among the officers, saying they should inform the Secret Service. "Kid learning around building we are in. AGR I believe it is. I did see him with a range finder looking towards stage. FYI. If you wanna notify SS snipers to look out. I lost sight of him."
At about the 3:00 mark you can see the local cops start to fan out and surround that building. You can faintly hear someone say what sounds like "he's got a gun" or something then the shots then quite a few seconds later a final shot that must have been the kill shot from the countersniper.MsDoubleD81 said:

I only heard it one time during the confusion immediately after the shooting but one of the stations initially reported that the shooter was a Chinese national.Stat Monitor Repairman said:

You can really only see one side of his face. Think I saw the sniper could only really see his eye and forehead and scope maybe. Looks like he could have been hit right above his left eye. The back of his head on the left (his right) also has a bump to his head shape. Exit could have been there and the angle of the pic just doesn't show as large of an exit wound as it actually was. If he was laying prone though, an entry near his eye would have an exit right where that bump area is.aggiehawg said:
And that is the only photo that has not been fuzzed out we have been able to see, thus far. And there are still many questions even about that photo. Doesn't look like a Winchester 300 mag hit, if it hit him mid temple.
From the angles we have been shown, and in that photo not a face shot.

Seems apparent at this point that no one working the security for the event knew he had a weapon until a less than a minute before he fired. And that was just the two cops who tried to climb the roof.
they either knew for a fact there was only one shooter acting alone so everyone was 100% safe after they neutralized the one shooter.... or, once DJT was whisked away into a vehicle, their job was over so they were free to go check out their kill shot and not worry about any risk of any other shooters.Texmid said:
I still do not understand the two-man counter sniper team leaving their post to go look for Crooks. Why would they both leave? That is just beyond incompetence.
It's apparent that's the narrative, anyway.J. Walter Weatherman said:Ellis Wyatt said:

You're thinking of a different sniper team. The two he was referring to left their post BEFORE Trump was shot. And that left the roof Crooks was on unprotected. Had one of them stayed on top, they would have seen him on the roof prior to the shot.oh no said:they either knew for a fact there was only one shooter acting alone so everyone was 100% safe after they neutralized the one shooter.... or, once DJT was whisked away into a vehicle, their job was over so they were free to go check out their kill shot and not worry about any risk of any other shooters.Texmid said:

all the people that were so disappointed that he was only grazed instead of fatally shot with his brains blown out are now shocked and bewildered that his wound is healing up nicely. fascinating to see.
