The Evidence of a Second Shooter in Butler Is Getting Stronger
The strongest sign of any wider conspiracy to kill an high level person is almost always a breakdown in the protection of that individual. Taking a life is not very hard, especially with weaponry in the modern era, but having connections to change the security of a top-ranking politician or VIP is much more challenging.
There were multiple severe breakdowns in the most basic security protocols at former President Trump’s Butler rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. Thomas Crooks, a 20-year-old kid, was able to get within 130 yards of Trump and fire multiple shots despite several people warning the Secret Service and local law enforcement about his presence on the building he shot from minutes before any gunfire was heard. The structure Crooks shot from was also not even in the Secret Service’s original security perimeter, even though people in the Department had previously expressed concern about this area. There were also no manned or unmanned drones in the air, and no helicopters on scene until after the failed assassination attempt as well. There was no aerial surveillance. Multiple people such as Dan Bongino with sources inside the agency have stated that there were repeated requests from Trump’s security detail for additional resources that were turned down by the top officials at the Secret Service as well.
The complete breakdown in the former President’s protection detail points to a larger plot to kill Trump, but the main argument against this theory is that Crooks was a 20-year-old kid who reportedly was not a good shooter.
There is now new evidence suggesting that a second shooter was likely on the Water Tower, and that this individual is the one who likely fired the shot that hit Trump’s ear. This video clearly shows a man on the water tower at the time of the shooting.
This video evidence is also consistent with the statements of at least 3 witnesses who confidently and independently stated that there was a shooter at this location on the Water tower.
The FBI and local law enforcement immediately dismissed any notion that there was a second shooter before there the investigation even began, which is similar to how the FBI handled the Kennedy assassination as well. Multiple witnesses had stated that the FBI edited statements they made to the Bureau about shots coming from the front in Dealey Plaza before the final reports of the FBI were submitted to the now-discredited Warren Commission. The fact the investigators have already ruled out there being two or more shooters shows that there is no sincere effort to investigate a critically important event.
