TRUMP LATEST NEWS: The United States Secret Service said Trump rally shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, hid the weapon in advance. Agents say by the time they spotted him on the roof, 20-year-old Crooks was already holding the weapon. A Secret Service source told Fox News, “We went from golf range finder to AR-15, and now we have to fill in the gap.”

Authorities says when they observed Crooks carrying a golf range finder he was marked as a ‘person of interest’ but not a ‘threat.’ Crooks struck at least four people with AR-15 fire from the rooftop, which led to the death of a 50-year-old father of two named Corey Comperatore. The shooting seriously wounded David Dutch and James Copenhaver.

  1. Ukrainian government hired guy to take down former president because he said that he’s going to cut off financial and military aid to Ukraine. How you like conspiracy theory like this?

  2. I've been to rock festivals with better gate security, than a DJT rally. I'm not buying it. Plus BlackRock has 3 connections to this bs. 1) suspect was in BlackRock ad last year. 2) The building suspect was on, was bought 4 mos ago, by a company owned by BlackRock. 3) The day prior, an Austin,TX – based company, owned by BlackRock, shorted 12 million shares of DJT stock. (company also connected to the Bush's) . Nothing to see here, move along. ** Plus, why were new people added to the detail, and many of the SS were replaced with DHS agents in SS uniforms. Mayorkas hates Trump…

  3. I agree, they had short people trying to shield him and they allowed trump to be exposed. Also if they knew way before trump went on they should have never gave him the green light to go on stage. I would really hold the Secret Service for not doing there job. Does not matter if someone was inside or if it was the police’s responsibility.

  4. According to Fox News from Josh Hawley a whistleblower says majority of protection team was not SS, but untrained HSI which is why there were short women protecting a man 2 ft taller and there apparent panic and struggles with holstering their weapons. Overall, we need a full official report, but as of now this all stinks.

  5. total lies. the Secret service knew nothing about this person being a threat. If the secret service says they knew anything about him, THEY ARE LYING OR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PERSON BEING THERE. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO LIE TO YOUR FACE AND SAY THEY KNOW WHO THIS WAS.
    THINK ABOUT IT. WHY WOULD THE SECRET SERVICE SAY THEY KNEW WHO THIS WAS BEFOREHAND? WERE THEY TRYING TO KILL HIM LIKE THEY DID TO KENNEDY?
    SECRET SERVICE SHOULD JUST ADMIT THEY KNEW NOTHING –OTHERWISE THEY ARE CULPABLE!

  6. I see only one of the tall, male, Secret Service Agent put his arm and hand in Trump's face to protect him as they were trying to get Trump in the car. The females were NOT SECRET SERVICE AGENTS. They just released new information that MAYORKAS gave Trump DHS Agents to protect him!!! SERIOUSLY!!!??? What a SET UP.

  7. They should be easy on her she a women that was the qualification for her to get the job like most jobs theses days. I don’t care what sex what color a person is I care if they qualify for the job I guess I’m thinking like the old days

  8. I can tell you unequivocally what she is going to testify on Monday, "Thank you for the question Congressman or Congresswoman, I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation". The standard bureaucrat "Get out of Jail Free Card" statement.

  9. Riiiight secret service, not buying it. People reported and news reported about him carrying the gun openly. This is why people are questioning the "open carry" in the state. Now it is being questioned by Senators on why secret service may have/did not have real agents around the podium. More questions are being asked and we want transparency on what and why the secret service failed. It was noted that he was seen by security using the range finder. Nothing done. It just seems like there are to many inconsistencies. Nope, I believe it was "insider" job.

  10. The ss wanted to get rid of Trump too because they are corrupt democrat too now the republicans are having hearings the ss is not answering anything all the Republicans will do is only ask questions like they always do so corrupt

  11. cops and feds are inside the same building he was on ,, they new about this ,, and if the gun was hid then why wasn;t it found on the sweep ,, more lie;s he went inside the building where the cops were and got the weapon and climbed the ladder, facts .. they trying to hide crap now since they are busted for being involved they new he was there cops even took photos of the kid before he went up on the building,,

  12. I had that feeling that the rifle was stashed ahead of time because it would have looked even MORE suspicious for him to climb the ladder with the rifle. That begs the question of 1. How did he know there wouldn't be an agent stationed on the roof (if that's where it was stashed) and the agent possibly could have found it, ran the number and it got traced right to the shooter's father. 2. when and where was the ladder placed against the building because he had brought the ladder with him. 3. The cop that was checking out the roof instead of climbing the ladder got boosted up by a second cop and fell when the shooter pointed the rifle at him. Is it just a comedy of errors?
