Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned, finally, after immense and unrelenting pressure placed on her by Congress and the public. Great. But we still have questions that don’t appear to have answers forthcoming. Specifically, how did the Secret Service miss the sniper when they were within 30ish feet of him, in full view of his position? The shooter allegedly flew a drone around the rally just before climbing the roof. A picture was taken OF CROOKS HIMSELF while on the ground, but supposedly lost sight of him. Crooks allegedly rode a “bike” to the rally. Was it a motorcycle or was it a bicycle? How in the world did he transport his weapon undetected if it was either of those two? We were told that Crooks had remote detonators for bombs in his car and other places. What car?
So, could scrawny Crooks really have been an expertly trained marksman, somehow willing to sacrifice his life in order to kill him? He had no social media, no internet presence at all to speak of.
So, a hypothetical. Was Crooks a part of what he thought to be a training exercise that turned out not to be the case? Was this an elaborate entrapment operation created by law enforcement, as they have so many times in the past, that got out of hand? Crooks is alleged to have learned to shoot at a shooting range used by law enforcement. Was he groomed to be the Trump assassin by law enforcement, who would then swoop in at the last moment and kill him before he took his shot?
Was there really a police sniper stationed mere yards from Crooks, who didn’t act, or refused to act, to stop Crooks?
Again: how did Crooks arrive at the rally. Where was his gun. How in the world did he crawl across the roof and take a few shots off before being killed.
I’m guessing that Crooks believed his first shot would be the kill shot, and that he could scurry back down the roof, hop on his motorcycle or bicycle or whatever, and flee the scene.
I can easily envision a scenario where Trump is killed, and Crooks escapes on his motorcycle. Which means he had a plan of what he’d do at that point. What was the plan? Where was he planning to go once his mission was complete? This is what we need to know.
