Him flying the drone a few hours early is just a few speckles of icing on the cake. He did not decide to go ahead based on that. He had prior knowledge of many security details.
Someone in Las Vegas was flying the drone(s). How can the public not know this? You don't have to be onsite to pilot a drone. Remember who flew the drones in Iraq and Afghanistan? Nobody in those countries piloted the remote aerial vehicles. Thus the term remote.
10 seconds after 2nd volley of shots, Crooks down, lone shot INCOMING passed through Corey's head accompanied by Corey's screaming wife, who would NEVER EVER wait 15 seconds to scream, miraculously struck and burst hydrolic hose of PA speaker Lift truck crashing to ground. For original and untampered sound and visual, UA-cam, FOX, Shots Fired at Trump Rally. CLEARLY HEAR, suppressed shot without report, Corey's wife screaming, chains rattle and PA speakers crash to ground. OBSERVE crowd turn away from Donny to watch PA speakers crash to ground. See crowd stand up and point to Crooks down after 2nd volley of shots, just like Corey stood up blocking with his head the money shot meant for Donny. Vector from damaged hydrolic hose to Corey's head passes across Donny's stage and points to position of 2nd Shoeter, same building Crooks was on, 2nd window from the right. 2nd Shoeter Conspeericy confirmed should keep this investigation going.
So first mistake: No security people on the roof. Mistake #2: disastrous communications failures Mistake #3: letting Trump go on stage before suspicious person was located.
George Soros paid off all of the law enforcement officers and Biden paid Crooks. Right? Right? Come on, don’t hold back. Give us the real truth, your QAnon research.
But only the police had the info,not the SS. They should have had better communication worked out ahead of time. I think it shows ineptness of the people in charge.
I hope you continue your work as far as getting to the autopsy and why the shooter's parents called 911 to report their teenage son is missing after their son was only gone a few hours. Did their parents know what their son was up to and call police to warn them???
And WHY do parents have lawyers? And no one is talking about the strange overseas accounts. USSS and FBI are trying to cover tracks. And Project Oversight pinged cell phones at Crooks', shooting range, and in DC. ?!?!?!?
Yes, his parents employed the most powerful law firm in Pittsburgh to represent them. I find it hard to believe that the firm is offering their services pro Bono or that the parents, state employed therapists, could afford them. From the look of their home & cars they did not appear wealthy.
@@gerryconstant4914 I can believe it. They like high profile cases sometimes. Rittenhouse first legal team did it for free for the fame but Rittenhouse fired them when they wouldn't pay his bail.
Situational awareness! That would mean the sniper team would have screamed: " Hey, I have a huge blind spot right in front of my face - somebody go cover that now!!!" That's situational awareness!
Right? I’d love to know which USSS said no to local drones and getting the phones local had for them AND not covering the roof. ANYTHING suspicious should delay a protectant getting on stage. They just keep saying we didn’t know he had a gun, we didn’t know he moved to the roof… You knew there was someone suspicious!?!?! I’ll never believe this was stupidity.

Intentional failures. Also tardiness invading the entire area and late set up. Every “crack” was intentionally arranged. Plausible deniability.

@@KrisD007 Agreed. To say it more pointedly - this murder plot was based on deliberate failures and omissions. The question is, how do we prove who was the mastermind of the plot?
He didn't run straight across the roof, he ran zigzag across . Ran to the side of the two-story building, waited a couple minutes then walked to the front crosswalk roof as the video shows. Then got into position.
That seems logical? If there was a chance that anyone had spotted him on the roof ( which they did ) then the running in a zig-zag pattern would make the most sense? And from all the aerial footage I've seen, the back of the two-story AGR building wasn't visible from anyone...
And it's been discussed many times about Nicol leaving his post. The original story was he left his post to look for the guy and then locked himself out and the other one had to come and let him in. That story later changed to they were both looking for him. That story doesn't hold water. That would mean their weapons were left unattended? Nobody does that. And still no explanation of the shady hand-off.
Exactly! At 18:09, both left their place! I think this is a fundamental mistake! If they had only looked out the windows - because they were open in all directions - then they would have seen it! But no, instead they were running around inside the building? For what? And if he went out - which is not true, because the body camera footage shows that he came out from inside - then the cops below should have shouted to pay attention to the roof. And the people were shouting under the window already 2 minutes ago! Were they deaf? This is precisely an organized abandonment. And at this time Trump should have been taken off the stage!
The real cover up is Beaver County ESU covering for Greg Nicol leaving his post overlooking the roof and then telling everyone Crooks was heading away from the rally@@penzeszsuzsannaliliom4270
@@penzeszsuzsannaliliom4270You need to watch JO' earlier analysis where he shows the gun placements, out of view to outside. The position was addressed during a statement by Local Law Enforcement. Watch ALL of Jeff's videos.
Pretty sure I have explained the "shady handoff" to you, Tammy, in at least one other video's comment section. That was not a rifle propped against the railings outside the door on the dashcam at 19:00 dashcam time. It was a Halligan Pry Bar. You can see the bar much more clearly, strap and all, at 19:04:28 dascham time when a guy walks right to left in front of the motorcycle with it. If you compare that object with what is seen at the handoff, you will see they are the same thing. A pry bar. Not a rifle. Not shady. I wish one of these video makers would actually address that. I guess it is hard to admit you were mistaken...
@@MattNolanCustom like I've said before, I'm 90% sure it was a rifle, but even if it wasn't and it was what you state, I've still yet to hear an explanation of why it everything looks so secretive during that handoff. That still has yet to be explained.
But remember, thier "perimeter" only went out to about the tree/fence line ( 100 yrds.? ) Both Hercules teams on barns appeared to all have Accuracy International sniper rifles "normally" chambered in .300 Win mag for 1,000+ yrd.shots but since they were only working within 100 yards, I think they were using & supposedly hit Crook's with alot smaller round?

@28:07 You're comparing apples to oranges as far as "trained professionals" go. The swat officer that took the first shot was at a lower angle, with a smaller caliber using 1x magnification taking an unsupported shot. Those guys mostly train and are equipped for close quarters. The secret service sniper, although further away, was at a more leveled angle, with something like a 300WM or comparable (a much larger projectile firing at a much greater velocity), with a something comparable to 5-25x magnification. Plus they work in teams and are working off of tripods and are specifically trained in ranged target acquisition and shooting.
Really curious to know what those 2nd floor snipers were doing at that time. Did they have radio contact, were they at their posts, were they trying to knock out screens to get a view, etc.?
Need answers for following questions: 1. why was there no one on roof of Trump shooter? 2. Why no drone? 3. Why was there no one on water tower? 4. Why was Trump left on stage? * What other questions am I missing?
I have the same answer to each question. The site security plan was weak. On top of that, the communications environment was weak. The number of security people in place were too few thus weak ability to respond. The security tech assets ( drone and communications ) were weak.
@@darrell3752 Because it was a HUGE failure by the CIA in so many respects.

@@davidmann6902 Why does "his actions "need explaining"? what Kind of "incompetence" are you referring to? Are you saying the government and/or this sniper, was some kind of conspiracy "player in this assassination attempt"? Is there confirmed, verifiable evidence You've researched ,that has led you to determining incompetence, Or some kind of conspiracy?
He was only on the roof for five minutes, so the snipers had little time to look for him. He only was upright when running, the rest of the time he was flat. So snipers do appear to have done well. But the police who noticed Crooks earlier and thought he seemed odd, failed in their duty. Had they actually done more than snap a picture, the entire event could have been stopped in time.
Why would any secret service counter sniper pick up any local radios,they are not secure channel and they will only be talked to with a secure net.think of terrorist . communication has been like this for decades,the proper procedure would be to have only one command post headquarters with all the lead authority from each agency in there that can promptly provide comms as needed
It makes no sense that the snipers 16 feet up could see him, but Dave Stewart & the state trooper sniper could see him from the ground. This is the biggest thing that no analysis has been done of.
They are trying to say some of the ground is higher up and they would have a clearer line of sight than the counter snipers up on the roof. I know you have to really suspend reality to actually believe that one.
Keep in mind that when Crooks did his drone fly over there were no counter snipers in place. To assume he was prepared to die is to assume knowledge he did not have.
You’re assuming he did not have the knowledge. History of him flying his drone and walking around makes it seem he is a lone gunman, which is what someone would want if they were planning this. Project Oversight has pinged cell phones in Crooks' home, that were also at the local shooting range used by Crooks, FBI, USSS, DHS, and in DC. Too many safety procedures were not used to make USSS and FBI seem inept.
The barns didn't move between him flying the drone and the SS details setting up on them. So all he needed was a decent memory. Plus, he did walk along the South facing wall of the AGR building on the ground much later (on video) and so could see to judge what they could and couldn't likely see with respect to the tree.
Thomas Michael Crooks picked the absolute perfect sniper position from which to shoot at Trump. I know he used a drone, probably just to make sure he had a line of sight to the stage where Trump would be speaking from, and had a range finder know the approximate distance, but he also had either the massive luck, or inside knowledge, that the North Hercules 2 snipers view of him from his chosen sniper position would be obscurred by trees, and that the South Hercules 1 sniper team were tasked with covering the opposite direction, so wouldn't be looking towards his direction until they turned, by which time he was already set up for his shots. Luck in slipping through the cracks, or inside knowledge? That's the question now.
Crooks is on video walking in front of the south facing wall of the AGR building, looking in the direction of the stage area. That's all he needed to do to see that the North Barn's view would be obstructed by the tree and that the South Barn team were looking South.
How did Crooks know there would not be snipers on the roof of AGR building 6 that would show up around the time Trump was to be on stage? It's not dumb luck. He was following a plan that he himself didn't orchestrate.
Gray Hughes has an excellent video syncing the two videos of Crooks running on the roof. He shows that when Crooks disappears for a few seconds then pops back up he still was not on the roof where he shot from but on the roof behind (which has a slope).
Gray seems 2b a very smart man with lots of hi-tech equipment but all of his synced up vids. ( especially with chat & comments on the same screen ) reminds me of all the t.v.'s on different channels @ Wally World, lol! J/s???
How the hell not one cop ask that crowd that saw the shooter. Where is the shooter? The crowd had a clear view, and not one cop wanted to see what they saw....??????? WTF
💯 this is the thing that most pisses me off. All those people pointing, recording, telling the officers that he has a gun, 2 minutes go by and he gets his shooting going with officers having ignored the bystanders
True! And the whole time police were along the tree side of the building & even up on a picnic table trying 2c up on the roof? Looks like cops would've went straight to where that lady ( & others ) was pointing & screaming that he was over here, on the roof??? It appears to me that a tall officer could of stood on the very wall that TMC had sit on earlier or got up on the A/C unit behind it & been able to easily see him from there!
Victor Davis Hanson gave a great analogy of a babysitter. If she babysits for a family that has the same values as her both politically & socially & their child is well behaved than you will be more vigilant & want to please those parents. However the opposite is also true. If she babysits for a couple that has the opposite views of her & their child is unruly, hard to handle & you dislike than you be less vigilant with that child. This is what happens when a government lets their role become political, you ignore requests for additional help & you let an inexperienced person lead that protection team.
It's my understanding they were focused on distances much farther than the AGR building, and were counting on the team inside the two-story building and local police to cover those AGR buildings.
This timeline noting who knew what, when, may sound plausible to some but unless we know what's in their heads, we can't say we KNOW what they knew and when. The timeline may appear to explain it away, but It brings up more questions than answers. If this was planned, and I believe it was, the question now is who knew and who didn't? I've yet to hear logical explanation as to why the perimeter was pac man shaped and AGR roof not included since this roof was close and had a direct line to the stage, why this was the first time counter snipers were at these events, why snipers weren't placed on the AGR roof yet two teams placed behind the stage, why was no one placed on the water tower, why the drone was turned down, why radios weren't picked up, why the SS didn't attend the morning meeting, why the snipers in the second story couldn't hear the crowd screaming from their open windows, why Nicol left his post, why evidence was destroyed, what about the van, Crooks parents not talking and more. The number one Security agency doesn't make this many "mistakes".
I used to work in Law Enforcement radio. My job was to build and maintain radio systems for public safety and public utilities. In particular, I worked on the Pennsylvania radio system. The entire state was covered by a state of the art digital system in the early 2000's. The radio system has vast "mutual aid" capabilities. In fact, the secret service has their own communication system that can easily be linked to the network. What I am saying is, there is no excuse for comms not to be fully integrated and for everyone to hear a radio call "shooter on the roof" or the like. Unless someone deliberately declined to provide the link.
What would your opinion be regarding the internet and cell service being down at that critical time as well, along with the rest of the communication mess they had going on?
@@snakerstran9101 I don't know that to be true. But if it did happen. It would likely have been done in response to the shooting itself. Restricting comms to essential assets is crisis management 101. It would have taken an executive order though. I believe.
Exactly. Once the North team realized that they can't see the whole AGR roof, they should be concerned and tell someone about it. Or they decided that it's okay and just assumed that nobody would ever get on that roof?
Why did the north team never mention that they had an obscure view of that building of the shooter. Those snipers are suppose to be professionals. Saying that they did their job properly is a dumb comment when they should have know in the beginning they had an obscure view of the building.
@@MattNolanCustom I can understand your assumption, because the AGR building being outside the higher security area. But then that would mean that the north snipers were not really required because they had no rooftops to cover that would be to the right of Trump. But I would say they were up there specifically to cover from center of Trump and out to his right for as far as they could see which would include the AGR building
I worked several Presidents as a local SWAT Officer and this communication cluster has been like this since at least 1985. Secret Service does not let anyone on their frequency. We were not even allowed to monitor what was said. FBI at least let us hear was said. Imagine the command post. All those in charge in one room and when it hits the fan they yell orders.
@@chrisbenard7509 Yes, but the since 1985 guy is full of BS. He's dragging a red herring. The answer, obviously, is to share comms that everyone can use, like the radios that local cops provided, but that the SS didn't pick up on the day of the rally

@@jeffostroffvideos are spot on and based on the facts that are known, not theories. It drives me batty when people tell outright lies to confuse and cause division. Excellent work! One thing I will add, I don’t know the exact heights of the buildings but analysis has determined that the shooter was about 3 ft above Trump due to the AGR buildings landscape and the podium/height of DJT. Not saying this changes anything, but just thought this may be helpful. Thanks!
Great stuff, Jeff. I hope you know how much we appreciate your efforts with this! Question: If the Butler police knew Crooks was on the roof at 6:08:25, why weren't the spotters in building 2 scrambling to get back into place? They had over 3 minutes. That is plenty of time and would have had a clear view of Crooks.
None of Congress seems to want to follow up on GN’s whereabouts. The story has changed three times as to his whereabouts and the timing of those whereabouts. Obviously a cover up
I am writing to you again about Hungary. I would like to know why the stage was not set up on the other side of the 3 buildings? Then there would have been no chance to shoot Trump. Thus, they almost offered the opportunity for the assassination to take place.
Why is nobody looking at the second Storey building directly behind where the shooter was??? there are Windows right there that overlook the AGR roof. They said the snipers left their post, how convenient...
And Greg nicol or any other police thought to go back up to those windows, they could have climbed out of the end one onto the roof instead of waiting around for a ladder.
One comment: the rifle was probable finally hit by a shot from the south barn. The bullet probably went through neck and left his right ear and then hit the rifle near his shoulder at the end just before he could fire at the public on the west side.(He probably first lowered his position on the roof after he was shocked by the unexpected 9th shot and was therefore not visible because he was finally not found close to the edge of the roof). One question remains: how is is possible that 3 cases seemed to be found on the south site of the ridge? They should have left his rifle on the right site and couldn't be on the other site of the ridge. Certainly because his rifle made an angle of about 35 degrees with the ridge. Do you have an explanation?
Overgassed rifle or he put the mag of the rifle at the top of the roof peak. Overgas is most likely since you can see where the rifle ended up being at
@@CallMeA6 yes i agree. crooks COULD HAVE KEPT FIRING. UNLESS the fragmented round wad enough to make him delerious. He popped up from a daze and took a .300 winmag to the face
hey Jeff... thnx for all the work you're doing... I found your channel right after the Key Bridge disaster... you're proving to be a great resource for diving into current events and I imagine you will be too, for future history buffs !! how you gather social media snippets, analyze, and curate everything together, all in one spot, is extremely helpful in discovering the truth !! ✨️ *QUESTION:* ✨️ I'm aware of the perp being captured 'on film' 3 times (maybe there's more ..?) before being caught tossing his backpack ahead to the next roof by the bodycam of the officer searching the wooded area on the opposite side of the parking lot... before then he was captured twice on video and finally in still-frame... on phonecam recorded walking thru the vending area... seen on dashcam arriving to the AGR property, walking past the AGR sign... and finally, the still shot taken by the officer out the window showing the perp with his phone seated upon the retaining wall... *OK... could this kid have planted the backpack ahead of time* (maybe at the time of his drone flight... where did he conduct that from ..?) *because I don't believe I've seen any hint of this backpack, until thrown ahead to the next roof ..? did I miss a strap across his shoulder, or anything, indicating he had it on his person, or within reach ..?* it had a gun in it... he would have been protective of it, if it was not on his shoulder !! on the other hand, he wouldn't have wanted to risk having some authority asking to search that backpack... *where did the kid conduct his drone flight from ..? were there any other previous times for him to visit the AGR property ..? do we have any visuals of the backpack at ground level, before being seen in the rooftop scramble ..?* this could be important, because... if the perp didn't get the backpack there... *then WHO did ..?* *interesting piece to the puzzle...* 🤔
He had lots of helpers two filmed leaving the East side of AGR at 6:07PM. There were four undercover SS agents that curiously had the same poor taste in fashion as the alleged perpetrator. Must have been a mind bender for counter snipers who surely were briefed on the clothing choice for the day. FBI was already there and Stingrays were activated which may have hindered cell phone use and ability to communicate interagency. All by design of course
I agree that there is an empirical evidential consistency with Jeff’s analysis. If there is conjecture or supposition, that is usually qualified by current circumstantial knowledge that Jeff has, and acknowledges. I find Jeff’s reports considered, clear and logical.
How the shooter knew where snipers will be positioned? At the time he flew the drone (around 2 hours before shooting), there were no snipers on the roofs.
TC had no idea he was the final target. He simply took a position that the north team didn't expect. Therefore, the south team had to be reoriented to accomplish the mission.
Excellent point, the shooter flying drones wouldn’t matter if a cop was going to be on that building as one said they told USSS someone needed to be on that roof. Snipers who don’t have a clear view of a building due to trees don’t say anything or are told it’s covered?!? I would like to hear each person in that detail recall what they were told vs what happened.
Why was rhe North facing Secret Service unit placed in a location where they had no clear line of sight to a building 160 yards in a field of range ? No coverage for rhe Most logical potential possion for a person
It appears to me to be purposeful. The same also occurred with Butler County SWAT assigned by SS to a window in building 2 . They had no line of sight to the side of the building Crooks took up position.
And local police “say” they told USSS someone needed to be on that building as well as offering drones and walk-in talkies that were not used. They will never tell us. They should be accountable to someone.
Still seems that local cops were reluctant to disrupt the event. And, they knew 2 minutes before the shots were fired that there was someone on the roof. But they were unwilling to or couldn't figure out how to get on the roof. They didn't know he was armed at that point, but didn't they realize that he was the guy they had seen earlier with the range finder? He was highly suspicious - suspicious enough that they needed to try to get him off the roof. So, communication delays between local cops and Secret Service, seeming reluctance of local cops to take aggressive action to get him off the roof, and failure of planners to realize that roof was a prime spot to take a shot at Trump, and it was not guarded sufficiently. Maybe Secret Service thought the guys inside the 2-story building could see that whole roof, but they would have had to stick their heads out of the window to see down that far. Some blind spots, but also clever planning and actions by Crooks to evade observation.
No, they WERE TOLD that he was armed, they simply IGNORED the bystanders recording it, didn't even bother to stand next to them and see for themselves.
Just noticed in 23:51 of this video that there's a guy sitting on the ground next to the cement wall with similar clothing to Crooks: a gray t-shirt, white shorts, and black shoes. However, has white socks and a white baseball cap on.
I also noticed at 18:08 of Jeff's video. An undercover is sitting on the ground while the crowd is running around screaming about a guy on the roof and he doesn't even flinch, he doesn't act in any way that you would expect to see in this situation. Total unbelievable reaction from this undercover guy.
@@tammy5926yes, I saw that in one of the first videos that I watched . Undercover, means what? Just mooch around, do nothing and collect your pay check at end of day? I’d like to ask him what his orders were on the day.
Awesome videos on this subject! Just an observation.... No one is denying they didn't have an obscured view of the roof. That's the problem!! The sniper team tasked with the closest rooftop to Trump didn't have a clear view. That's not ok.
If your the North team tasked with watching the North buildings and you can't see half of them!!?!?! That's a huge issue. One that absolutely should not have happened. Who was in charge of placing the teams? Why were they placed there? Why were they tasked to be looking in certain directions leaving obviously gaps in coverage? Why was the closest rooftop to Trump nit able to be seen be the team watching that rooftop?

and the drone? he must have flown that earlier than 4 pm. no mention of them finding it that i can remember although if they did, it would be embarrassing to admit, me thinks.
I want to know how the Butler Co SWAT officer was able to shoot Crooks' butt stock from the ground, when it was likely on the other side of the peak of the roof. Did he shoot him through the tin roof? This goes back to your point about the angles never lying. It doesn't make sense.
That was never confirmed. Higgins' words of qualification were "I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle"
@@MattNolanCustom Wrong again. A stock has two sides and the FBI lies. The other side of the stock - opposite of the side shown by the FBI - appears to have damage to the buffer tube caused by a bullet creasing it, traveling along it and then blowing out the plastic rear of the stock. That would be consistent with an essentially straight on shot from the SWAT guy on the ground. The FBI is pushing back on that evidence b/c it calls into question the narrative about the SS CS team. It is also consistent with a bullet going through Crooks' mouth and out the lower back of his head - meaning the SWAT guy may have fired the fatal shot, with Crooks taking a few moments to bleed out and die because the Bain wasn't really hit. All of this evidence is available on rumble - see paramount tactical
The early pictures of him sitting on the wall, where do we think his backpack is at that time? And the time he is seen walking around the building? And Jeff, can you do like an octagon video with everything timed together?
The backpack could have been stashed behind the A/C unit earlier before many people were walking around. Then he picked it up right before he crawled up to the roof, hence, all the "scraping" on the roof by that unit.

I still feel both SS CS teams knew there was a problem on the roof of the AGR building. U can tell by the north team actively searching thru their rifle scopes in shooting positions. They’re no longer looking thru their binos. The reason I believe this is because neither team is in a bubble. They may not have coms with the state & local guys but those guys are right below them. I believe they can hear the guys on the ground talking or someone on the ground yelled up to them. Once the north team becomes aware of someone on the roof u know they communicated with the south team. That is why the south team is turning north before the shooting started.
@@KrisD007 not to mention all the local guys running towards the building. May have peaked their interest. But u know dudes were yelling back and forth to each other just below them. The north team was searching for a good bit before the first shot. South guys turned north before the shooting started. They knew something was amiss.
One point Jeff, what triggered the South SS team to turn around? When you say that the SS snipers did not know that there was a guy on the roof at 610pm as the officer drops down from looking at TC eye to eye I think more context is required. At 610 pm the SS snipers on the roof knew they had a problem guy on the AGR building, they just didn't know the problem was a gunman. Thanks for your great work.
As far as I remember the snipers knew at that point about the suspicious person with the rangefinder that was last seen at the back of agr and could have gone in the direction of Sheetz. They never got the message he got on the roof.
@@TheNickhammond Did either north or south sniper team not have a way to radio the SS agents on the stage where Trump was to tell him to GET OFF THE STAGE
Don’t forget the text from the ESU who sent the 4:26 PM text who later texted at 5:52 PM, “that bike wasn’t there when I pulled out. Maybe have them check that car.” Implies the person who snuck into their lot was in a car. It’s also more than likely they sent him Crooks pic to see if it was him who parked in their lot. Why else would that ESU be replying at 5:52 PM to “check that car.”

@danzigmcnaniel5226 trust me I realize that lol they're same thing it's technically called the reciever extension not buffer tube, and either way it wasn't hit judging by the photos from the feds 🤷
@@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548 it could have been hit. The damage shown in the pictures could be from the exit hole. From the trajectory it makes sense the bullet hit the gun somewhere more to the front and then burst out of the back, scattering the plastic. The higher quality bodycam footage does suggest there could have been an entry hole.
@@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548 yeah I don't understand why that's been a talking point... the shot obviously disrupted and temporarily stunned crooks but at a glance the rifle seemed fine.
@ibendiben I think it was hit with the same bullet that the sniper took him out with, the trajectories line up perfectly with that more so than the swat guy on the ground. I'll stand with the tube wasn't damaged and ONLY the stock was lol, hopefully time will tell for certain.
At the 16 minute mark of @Mrgunsngear UA-cam Channel's "Trump Shooter's AR-15 Detailed Breakdown & Analysis: Everything You Need To Know" video from two days ago the host gave a convincing argument that the 9th shot by the ESU counter sniper actually missed altogether, in agreement with the FBI report that Crooks's rifle was still fully functional. He went on to hypothesize that the damage to the stock was more in line with the 10th kill shot which entered above the left side of TMC's mouth and exited his right ear next to where he was holding his rifle. You may want to consider checking it out. It could change your view of the ninth shot. I will include the video link in a follow-up comment instead of here just in case UA-cam deletes comments with video links.
That congress report was a hypothesis (clearly stated as such, except for the "badass" line) and everybody assumed it was what happened. You're right. It's looking increasingly like that isn't what happened.
All of your videos are great, you’ve created a great timeline of events. What no one is addressing is the white van with Arizona plates? I saw an earlier video that it belongs to some young guy? In addition to the white van, there was also a Hyundai that had explosives in it as well. Could you please try to address these van and the Hyundai in one of your upcoming videos thanks.
The shooter's gun was NOT disabled by the first countershot. You said it yourself last video and showed us the FBI press release that explained that they tested the rifle A& found it still functional. In any case, the FBI photo of the gun shows that the location of the damage was not on the buffer tube but above & behind it, on the upper of the movable part of the collapsable stock. Not essential to the rifle's function.
I think the decision to stay indoors at the AGR site is an example of the local snipers going easy street. I think the former SS Director took a fall for them .... she said the AGR roof was too steep to place snipers. That was her trying not to throw anyone under the bus ... forgetting that someone was going under the bus. In the end, she got run over and did not get the license number of the bus because it was travelling so fast. The location of the local snipers at the AGR site is an example of the weak plan in place. The plan sucked. The snipers inside the AGR site were almost useless in regards of providing gunner support with their rifles. Bad plan.
I like your voice it reminds me of Ray Liota ..I know Dan Bongino and he didn't mean All the Snipers missing him only the ones who had a clear sight and how the team leaders did not enable for better observation. Dan knows better than to overlook the obvious
Right. Jeff and some followers are thinking like the USSS are just regular guys trying to do this instead of highly trained professionals. Amateurs could make all of these mistakes. Highly trained subject matter experts? Nope. Pros know to cover the AGR roof and triple check that it is covered, Pros know about the need for comms with partner agencies, especially if they are covering big chunks of the security perimeter - and especially a sector as critical as the AGR roof. There's a lot more. Most of it has been mentioned. Pros don't make those mistakes. These are mistakes that are categorically different than the Titanic disaster or a poorly engineered bridge that collapses. Jeff thinks it is the same. It isn't. Now he will delete my comment as soon as he sees it.
The angle to see over the AGR roof is even worse from the second barn where the Hercules 1 snipers actually had an unobstructed view. Instead of using the Hercules 2 teams position for that reference I would like to see the diagram based on the 1 team only.
Ok, fine. Nevertheless, he described that he looked like Jesus, that is, he saw him, but he did not see the sniper, and not from the left, because there is no one on the body camera, but he saw him from the right. And why didn't he signal when he jumped down? Was it because he was wearing the same clothes as the other plainclothes police officers? Why was he so scared of her that she jumped off!? Why didn't he shoot into the ground or into the air? (I think he was confused that he saw a civilian policeman, that's why he didn't shoot and didn't signal) Hmm?
The only question I still have is the snipers in the agr building. were they still at their post and were they aware he was on the roof? Which radio channel were they on?
Jeff: Good analysis, but the 2d floor LE sniper team had a shot at Crooks if they looked from their windows. There were many windows they had a chance to observe from the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor sniper team were derelict in their duty to guard that roof. They could hear the crowd screaming man on the roof. Other LE were running around the building from the 3 sides, east, south, and west. The 2nd floor snipers could listen to the radio traffic about the man on the roof. So the biggest blame now comes from the 2nd floor snipers blowing the coverage. Yes, the roof needed LE positioned to guard the roof to foil Crooks plan. Of course, the lack of coordinated radio communication by all the Feds, state, and local LE caused Crooks to win his objective to commit an assassination and suicide. We need to know what was happening in Crooks life that he had suicide fulminating in his brain. The parents should have had clues their son was suicidal. Finally, the USSS sniper teams didn’t have a clear view of all the AGR roof. So if so, their barn position was faulty. They had the primary duty to have a full line of sight for the entire roof. The plan for their barn position was faulty. They needed drones to secure and see that roof. They could have set up more sniper positions with more manpower. The whole mess that day lies with all LE, Feds, state, and locals.
The fact that the parents were BOTH state therapists & and called local police only hours after they list contact seems to scream that they knew he was up to no good. That is why they hired the most influential & expensive law firm in Pittsburgh to represent them. I'm pretty sure this firm is not representing them pro Bono & by the look of their cars & home this family was not wealthy, si who's paying their fees?
Not only that if they had picked up their radios that had been programmed for communication with each other they could have stopped this from the get-go
I heard in a youtube video those snipers were told to leave their posts to look for Crooks on the ground. I think one of them was Greg Nicol. Who told them to leave their posts?
Certainly possible that one of the several sniper teams and Forward Observation Post to the South was supposed to be covering the AGR roof. If I remember correctly they had the angle.
At 24:13 you show an image shot from the ground close to the building and between the shooter and the stage of Crooks on the roof with a time stamp of 6:10pm, a full minute and a half before the shooting starts. Crook is clearly visible above the roof ridge FROM THE GROUND where the local Swat team sniper shot him first. He was high on the roof close to the ridge but the roof is so flat that even when he was some distance from the ridge, he could be seen from a person on the ground on the OPPOSITE side of the building. Contrary to what you say, there is no way the South counter sniper team could not see him over the ridge from their much higher vantage point. They had powerful scopes and were also using binoculars aimed right at the roof and since they had already turned around, they obviously had been alerted that there was some suspicious guy in the area or possibly on the roof. It's impossible to believe they did not clearly see Crooks well before he started firing. The video shows them zeroed in on the roof, not scanning around for an elusive suspect. And even if they could not see that he was armed initially, surely they would have identified him as the suspect. Who else would be crawling around on a roof with a range finder and a back pack with the barrel sticking out? Any professional would have kept Crooks in their binoculars and/or their rifle cross hairs continuously from then on. By the time Crooks was taking name, the south counter sniper team could no doubt read the serial number of the rifle Crooks was aiming at President Trump. Yet they held their fire until after watching Crooks take EIGHT SHOTS AT TRUMP!. And still the Secret Service didn't fire. Only after the local Swat team sniper shot crooks did the Secret Service eliminate the human evidence. It is impossible to believe that all this is the result of 100 really really really stupid mistakes being made all at once by a huge number of trained professionals, many with ex military experience.
building with cs2 is 11 ft higher ... AGR is in a dip ... you are being dishonest ... a freakin swatguy on the freakin ground had a better view. You want us to believe cs2 didnt have a clear shot? They turned well before the first shot ... several vids show crooks very very visible ... even from the ground 30 yards from the AGR building ... you still know nothing about CS2 and their decisionmaking, knowledge, orders ... you keep saying they couldnt see him ... thats just made up ...
About your thumbnail... The details about the closer team having to look thru the tree are some of the oldest facts we have. Pretty much knew about it by day 3. Yet, your video is only a day old or so. I don't know what I'm really trying to say other than I think your thumbnail is odd this late in the investigation.

I've been following this horrific event on J13 since I seen it on the news that day. This being my first comment/post ever, I wanted to start by saying that I like Jeff's videos & channel best & will be posting many of my views & opinions soon.
I think it was on purpose. Local cops offer their drones, walkie-talkie, and tell USSS someone needed to be on AGR because there is a tree line hindering eyesight. Who was told this and said no?!
Jeff, you are proving a planned conspiracy. You said Crooks knew exactly where to perch on the roof because he surveilled the site with a drone well before PDJT took the stage, hours even. The sniper teams were not even in place when he used the drone so how would he know they were there on top of the barn roofs? Only way would be if he knew the site plan from someone else that knew. The 2 south facing snipers turned around neglecting their primary coverage area? How did they know they had better view of the Crooks perch location than the North team, abandon the south, set up to shoot then kill Crooks? Far fetched unless it was planned that way. Plus as soon as they decided to change coverage of the south, abandoning it, they should have alerted the protective team on the stage to get PDJT secured and off the stage. Curious the 2 patrol car cops didn’t alert with sounding their sirens and vehicle megaphones. A grandma at the rally who sighted Crooks on the roof made more noise. Plus Jeff you mentioned where were all the cops on the ground at first alert about Crook on the move? Too many coincidences to be considered unplanned.
Obviously but there are lots of locations he could have picked. Jeff said he researched it with the drone and that's how Crooks knew the north sniper team had obstructed view. Jeff is trying to validate the lone gunman, no conspiracy theory option. It's not plausible. Crooks just ad libbed? That's a reach.
@@photosbywalt7124 Why that particular place and no other with a great view of the stage? Was Crooks just lucky to be able to successfully get off assassination attempt shots? Was the security team just unlucky to miss apprehending Crooks before he had opportunity? Predetermined fate from God?
@@photosbywalt7124 If he was trying to get a better shot at Trump why wasn't he closer to the left side of the roof as it would be closer to the stage? It's too coincidental that he wasn't worried about the counter snipers, but just so happened to find the perfect spot to not be seen by the snipers on 2nd story building behind AGR6 and shielded by the tree so the north counter snipers couldn't take a shot at him. It's like he KNEW where all the snipers would be before they actually took their positions.
Valid point. The moment the south snipers changed positions; the whole security coverage was compromised. They could easily have turned towards a diversion from the AGR building and left their coverage exposed to the south. And also, that point in time was when the SS excuse of not being in the loop with local communications goes away, because SS personnel were obviously aware of a serious threat, enough of a threat for snipers to reposition. Trump should have been grabbed at that time at the latest.
Him flying the drone a few hours early is just a few speckles of icing on the cake. He did not decide to go ahead based on that. He had prior knowledge of many security details.
He probably looked up the location and scanned it using google. It’s a lot strange
Someone in Las Vegas was flying the drone(s). How can the public not know this? You don't have to be onsite to pilot a drone. Remember who flew the drones in Iraq and Afghanistan? Nobody in those countries piloted the remote aerial vehicles. Thus the term remote.
Keep the story alive

And all the while this was going on, no one thought to maybe call the stage and say "don't go on yet, we have a possible suspect"?
He didn't run straight across the roof, he ran zigzag across . Ran to the side of the two-story building, waited a couple minutes then walked to the front crosswalk roof as the video shows. Then got into position.
That seems logical? If there was a chance that anyone had spotted him on the roof ( which they did ) then the running in a zig-zag pattern would make the most sense? And from all the aerial footage I've seen, the back of the two-story AGR building wasn't visible from anyone...

And it's been discussed many times about Nicol leaving his post. The original story was he left his post to look for the guy and then locked himself out and the other one had to come and let him in. That story later changed to they were both looking for him. That story doesn't hold water. That would mean their weapons were left unattended? Nobody does that. And still no explanation of the shady hand-off.
Exactly! At 18:09, both left their place! I think this is a fundamental mistake! If they had only looked out the windows - because they were open in all directions - then they would have seen it! But no, instead they were running around inside the building? For what? And if he went out - which is not true, because the body camera footage shows that he came out from inside - then the cops below should have shouted to pay attention to the roof. And the people were shouting under the window already 2 minutes ago! Were they deaf? This is precisely an organized abandonment. And at this time Trump should have been taken off the stage!

So the NORTH wasn't complaining? hey, we are looking north, and THERE'S FREAKING TREES IN OUR WAY

That's "IF" they were actually the ones who neutralized him???
Why is the lack of cell coverage not being addressed. Sounds like it’s not being covered.
There is on bodycam audio after the mayhem an officer saying to another that they (SS) cut cell service.

You're comparing apples to oranges as far as "trained professionals" go. The swat officer that took the first shot was at a lower angle, with a smaller caliber using 1x magnification taking an unsupported shot. Those guys mostly train and are equipped for close quarters. The secret service sniper, although further away, was at a more leveled angle, with something like a 300WM or comparable (a much larger projectile firing at a much greater velocity), with a something comparable to 5-25x magnification. Plus they work in teams and are working off of tripods and are specifically trained in ranged target acquisition and shooting.
BlaBlaBla
Really curious to know what those 2nd floor snipers were doing at that time. Did they have radio contact, were they at their posts, were they trying to knock out screens to get a view, etc.?

2. Why no drone?
3. Why was there no one on water tower?
4. Why was Trump left on stage?
* What other questions am I missing?
I have the same answer to each question. The site security plan was weak. On top of that, the communications environment was weak. The number of security people in place were too few thus weak ability to respond. The security tech assets ( drone and communications ) were weak.

He was only on the roof for five minutes, so the snipers had little time to look for him. He only was upright when running, the rest of the time he was flat. So snipers do appear to have done well.
But the police who noticed Crooks earlier and thought he seemed odd, failed in their duty. Had they actually done more than snap a picture, the entire event could have been stopped in time.
Leaving the radios was one of many intentional acts that day..
Why would any secret service counter sniper pick up any local radios,they are not secure channel and they will only be talked to with a secure net.think of terrorist . communication has been like this for decades,the proper procedure would be to have only one command post headquarters with all the lead authority from each agency in there that can promptly provide comms as needed
The secret service didn't get the shooter, the butler swat team did.
It makes no sense that the snipers 16 feet up could see him, but Dave Stewart & the state trooper sniper could see him from the ground. This is the biggest thing that no analysis has been done of.
They are trying to say some of the ground is higher up and they would have a clearer line of sight than the counter snipers up on the roof. I know you have to really suspend reality to actually believe that one.
Counter snipers were having major problems with their optics that day. Most likely related to heat and humidity.
Keep in mind that when Crooks did his drone fly over there were no counter snipers in place. To assume he was prepared to die is to assume knowledge he did not have.
You’re assuming he did not have the knowledge. History of him flying his drone and walking around makes it seem he is a lone gunman, which is what someone would want if they were planning this. Project Oversight has pinged cell phones in Crooks' home, that were also at the local shooting range used by Crooks, FBI, USSS, DHS, and in DC. Too many safety procedures were not used to make USSS and FBI seem inept.
The barns didn't move between him flying the drone and the SS details setting up on them. So all he needed was a decent memory. Plus, he did walk along the South facing wall of the AGR building on the ground much later (on video) and so could see to judge what they could and couldn't likely see with respect to the tree.
Thomas Michael Crooks picked the absolute perfect sniper position from which to shoot at Trump. I know he used a drone, probably just to make sure he had a line of sight to the stage where Trump would be speaking from, and had a range finder know the approximate distance, but he also had either the massive luck, or inside knowledge, that the North Hercules 2 snipers view of him from his chosen sniper position would be obscurred by trees, and that the South Hercules 1 sniper team were tasked with covering the opposite direction, so wouldn't be looking towards his direction until they turned, by which time he was already set up for his shots. Luck in slipping through the cracks, or inside knowledge? That's the question now.
Crooks is on video walking in front of the south facing wall of the AGR building, looking in the direction of the stage area. That's all he needed to do to see that the North Barn's view would be obstructed by the tree and that the South Barn team were looking South.
How did Crooks know there would not be snipers on the roof of AGR building 6 that would show up around the time Trump was to be on stage? It's not dumb luck. He was following a plan that he himself didn't orchestrate.
Gray Hughes has an excellent video syncing the two videos of Crooks running on the roof. He shows that when Crooks disappears for a few seconds then pops back up he still was not on the roof where he shot from but on the roof behind (which has a slope).
Grey did a great job, but that was made pretty clear weeks ago by the 3D model from AzgetFX.
@@MattNolanCustom I'll check it out thanks!
Gray seems 2b a very smart man with lots of hi-tech equipment but all of his synced up vids. ( especially with chat & comments on the same screen ) reminds me of all the t.v.'s on different channels @ Wally World, lol! J/s???
How the hell not one cop ask that crowd that saw the shooter. Where is the shooter? The crowd had a clear view, and not one cop wanted to see what they saw....??????? WTF
💯 this is the thing that most pisses me off. All those people pointing, recording, telling the officers that he has a gun, 2 minutes go by and he gets his shooting going with officers having ignored the bystanders
True! And the whole time police were along the tree side of the building & even up on a picnic table trying 2c up on the roof? Looks like cops would've went straight to where that lady ( & others ) was pointing & screaming that he was over here, on the roof??? It appears to me that a tall officer could of stood on the very wall that TMC had sit on earlier or got up on the A/C unit behind it & been able to easily see him from there!
Victor Davis Hanson gave a great analogy of a babysitter.
If she babysits for a family that has the same values as her both politically & socially & their child is well behaved than you will be more vigilant & want to please those parents. However the opposite is also true. If she babysits for a couple that has the opposite views of her & their child is unruly, hard to handle & you dislike than you be less vigilant with that child.
This is what happens when a government lets their role become political, you ignore requests for additional help & you let an inexperienced person lead that protection team.
So the North team cant see the roof and they say nothing? So everyone thinks they can see the buildings but they cant? Total failure!
It's my understanding they were focused on distances much farther than the AGR building, and were counting on the team inside the two-story building and local police to cover those AGR buildings.
Ok. I just have a hard time believing that a 20 yr old outsmarted the ss without help from someone.
This timeline noting who knew what, when, may sound plausible to some but unless we know what's in their heads, we can't say we KNOW what they knew and when. The timeline may appear to explain it away, but It brings up more questions than answers. If this was planned, and I believe it was, the question now is who knew and who didn't?
I've yet to hear logical explanation as to why the perimeter was pac man shaped and AGR roof not included since this roof was close and had a direct line to the stage, why this was the first time counter snipers were at these events, why snipers weren't placed on the AGR roof yet two teams placed behind the stage, why was no one placed on the water tower, why the drone was turned down, why radios weren't picked up, why the SS didn't attend the morning meeting, why the snipers in the second story couldn't hear the crowd screaming from their open windows, why Nicol left his post, why evidence was destroyed, what about the van, Crooks parents not talking and more. The number one Security agency doesn't make this many "mistakes".
I used to work in Law Enforcement radio. My job was to build and maintain radio systems for public safety and public utilities. In particular, I worked on the Pennsylvania radio system.
The entire state was covered by a state of the art digital system in the early 2000's. The radio system has vast "mutual aid" capabilities. In fact, the secret service has their own communication system that can easily be linked to the network.
What I am saying is, there is no excuse for comms not to be fully integrated and for everyone to hear a radio call "shooter on the roof" or the like. Unless someone deliberately declined to provide the link.
What would your opinion be regarding the internet and cell service being down at that critical time as well, along with the rest of the communication mess they had going on?
I wish you were there to help they need some common sense, it is lacking or covered UP!
@@snakerstran9101 I don't know that to be true. But if it did happen. It would likely have been done in response to the shooting itself. Restricting comms to essential assets is crisis management 101. It would have taken an executive order though. I believe.
So the north team should have been covering the south while the south team should have been covering the north all along.
Exactly. Once the North team realized that they can't see the whole AGR roof, they should be concerned and tell someone about it. Or they decided that it's okay and just assumed that nobody would ever get on that roof?
There was 2 snpiers on each team, why couldnt BOTH teams cover BOTH directions??????
@@blubug768 We should be covering each others backs not A$$. God Bless America
Why did the north team never mention that they had an obscure view of that building of the shooter. Those snipers are suppose to be professionals. Saying that they did their job properly is a dumb comment when they should have know in the beginning they had an obscure view of the building.
As far as they were aware Butler and Beaver SWAT were covering the region they couldn't see.
@@MattNolanCustom I can understand your assumption, because the AGR building being outside the higher security area. But then that would mean that the north snipers were not really required because they had no rooftops to cover that would be to the right of Trump. But I would say they were up there specifically to cover from center of Trump and out to his right for as far as they could see which would include the AGR building
I worked several Presidents as a local SWAT Officer and this communication cluster has been like this since at least 1985. Secret Service does not let anyone on their frequency. We were not even allowed to monitor what was said. FBI at least let us hear was said. Imagine the command post. All those in charge in one room and when it hits the fan they yell orders.
Even a fast food restaurant has everybody on open comms. Headset radios. Same with art museums.
Seem like an arrogant bunch
@@chrisbenard7509 Yes, but the since 1985 guy is full of BS. He's dragging a red herring. The answer, obviously, is to share comms that everyone can use, like the radios that local cops provided, but that the SS didn't pick up on the day of the rally

If the secret service had a drone, no shooting would have happened.
So many things could have prevented such a dumb incident from happening and none of them took place. Funny how that happens.

Thanks Roger I'm glad you like it
@@jeffostroffvideos are spot on and based on the facts that are known, not theories. It drives me batty when people tell outright lies to confuse and cause division. Excellent work!
One thing I will add, I don’t know the exact heights of the buildings but analysis has determined that the shooter was about 3 ft above Trump due to the AGR buildings landscape and the podium/height of DJT. Not saying this changes anything, but just thought this may be helpful.
Thanks!
@@rjm2024 Does that include lies told by Trump as well?
Once again a fantastic depiction of the turn of events! Thank you!’
Great stuff, Jeff. I hope you know how much we appreciate your efforts with this!
Question: If the Butler police knew Crooks was on the roof at 6:08:25, why weren't the spotters in building 2 scrambling to get back into place? They had over 3 minutes. That is plenty of time and would have had a clear view of Crooks.
That was Mr. Nichol's sniper team. That would be a good question for him.
None of Congress seems to want to follow up on GN’s whereabouts. The story has changed three times as to his whereabouts and the timing of those whereabouts. Obviously a cover up
I am writing to you again about Hungary. I would like to know why the stage was not set up on the other side of the 3 buildings? Then there would have been no chance to shoot Trump. Thus, they almost offered the opportunity for the assassination to take place.
Why is nobody looking at the second Storey building directly behind where the shooter was??? there are Windows right there that overlook the AGR roof. They said the snipers left their post, how convenient...
And Greg nicol or any other police thought to go back up to those windows, they could have climbed out of the end one onto the roof instead of waiting around for a ladder.
One comment: the rifle was probable finally hit by a shot from the south barn. The bullet probably went through neck and left his right ear and then hit the rifle near his shoulder at the end just before he could fire at the public on the west side.(He probably first lowered his position on the roof after he was shocked by the unexpected 9th shot and was therefore not visible because he was finally not found close to the edge of the roof).
One question remains: how is is possible that 3 cases seemed to be found on the south site of the ridge? They should have left his rifle on the right site and couldn't be on the other site of the ridge. Certainly because his rifle made an angle of about 35 degrees with the ridge. Do you have an explanation?
Overgassed rifle or he put the mag of the rifle at the top of the roof peak.
Overgas is most likely since you can see where the rifle ended up being at
When we saw the pictures of him on the roof the police had already took the rifle and moved it away from him from what I can tell @@jason200912
They were placed there by Mrs. Nichol.
Why no blood or tissue on the rifle?
@@ChristyKSweet that would support the guess that it did not puncture the stock and face at same time

I found your channel right after the Key Bridge disaster... you're proving to be a great resource for diving into current events and I imagine you will be too, for future history buffs !! how you gather social media snippets, analyze, and curate everything together, all in one spot, is extremely helpful in discovering the truth !!
✨️ *QUESTION:* ✨️ I'm aware of the perp being captured 'on film' 3 times (maybe there's more ..?) before being caught tossing his backpack ahead to the next roof by the bodycam of the officer searching the wooded area on the opposite side of the parking lot... before then he was captured twice on video and finally in still-frame... on phonecam recorded walking thru the vending area... seen on dashcam arriving to the AGR property, walking past the AGR sign... and finally, the still shot taken by the officer out the window showing the perp with his phone seated upon the retaining wall... *OK... could this kid have planted the backpack ahead of time* (maybe at the time of his drone flight... where did he conduct that from ..?) *because I don't believe I've seen any hint of this backpack, until thrown ahead to the next roof ..? did I miss a strap across his shoulder, or anything, indicating he had it on his person, or within reach ..?* it had a gun in it... he would have been protective of it, if it was not on his shoulder !! on the other hand, he wouldn't have wanted to risk having some authority asking to search that backpack... *where did the kid conduct his drone flight from ..? were there any other previous times for him to visit the AGR property ..? do we have any visuals of the backpack at ground level, before being seen in the rooftop scramble ..?* this could be important, because... if the perp didn't get the backpack there... *then WHO did ..?*
*interesting piece to the puzzle...* 🤔
He had lots of helpers two filmed leaving the East side of AGR at 6:07PM. There were four undercover SS agents that curiously had the same poor taste in fashion as the alleged perpetrator. Must have been a mind bender for counter snipers who surely were briefed on the clothing choice for the day. FBI was already there and Stingrays were activated which may have hindered cell phone use and ability to communicate interagency. All by design of course
Jeff, far and away this is the best coverage of what happened. All of the other reports just left me confused. Great work!
What other reports (by whom) have you looked at (in order to rank Jeff's the best)?
I agree that there is an empirical evidential consistency with Jeff’s analysis. If there is conjecture or supposition, that is usually qualified by current circumstantial knowledge that Jeff has, and acknowledges. I find Jeff’s reports considered, clear and logical.
Jeff has been using A LOT of Gray Hughes Investigates UA-cam channel content, sometimes without crediting Gray. 😉
@@Raiders33 thank you for sharing that information.
Thanks for connecting the dots for us and the great visual aids.
Jeff, ask yourself, how did the shooter know that the counter sniper team facing north was obscured?
He didn’t. Dumb luck. Every move was dumb luck.
And While you’re at it Jeff ask why Greg and his buddy left their position at such a convenient time?
He walked in front of the AGR building and looked. It's on video.
I believe that is why he walked to the south side of AGR 6 at about 5:04 pm
How the shooter knew where snipers will be positioned? At the time he flew the drone (around 2 hours before shooting), there were no snipers on the roofs.
He was walking around the AGR building. Theres a video showing him casing the setup.
TC had no idea he was the final target. He simply took a position that the north team didn't expect. Therefore, the south team had to be reoriented to accomplish the mission.
Excellent point, the shooter flying drones wouldn’t matter if a cop was going to be on that building as one said they told USSS someone needed to be on that roof. Snipers who don’t have a clear view of a building due to trees don’t say anything or are told it’s covered?!? I would like to hear each person in that detail recall what they were told vs what happened.
Exactly.
He was walking around the rally area right before, you could easily see where the snipers were.
Why was rhe North facing Secret Service unit placed in a location where they had no clear line of sight to a building 160 yards in a field of range ? No coverage for rhe Most logical potential possion for a person
Because the ss leadership was selected based on personal friendship with Jill and Joe biden
It appears to me to be purposeful. The same also occurred with Butler County SWAT assigned by SS to a window in building 2 . They had no line of sight to the side of the building Crooks took up position.
And local police “say” they told USSS someone needed to be on that building as well as offering drones and walk-in talkies that were not used. They will never tell us. They should be accountable to someone.
And why would both cs leave their position, the only real post covering that roof, instead of radioing for backup?
@@GetSmart519 they work in Teams
Great analysis Jeff. Thanks for keeping this story alive.
That thumbnail pic of the restricted veiw is insane!!!!! Half the building closest yo stage is out of veiw????? How did shooter know that?????
He knew that because he flew a drone and he confirmed by walking in front of the building on the ground.
Still seems that local cops were reluctant to disrupt the event. And, they knew 2 minutes before the shots were fired that there was someone on the roof. But they were unwilling to or couldn't figure out how to get on the roof. They didn't know he was armed at that point, but didn't they realize that he was the guy they had seen earlier with the range finder? He was highly suspicious - suspicious enough that they needed to try to get him off the roof.
So, communication delays between local cops and Secret Service, seeming reluctance of local cops to take aggressive action to get him off the roof, and failure of planners to realize that roof was a prime spot to take a shot at Trump, and it was not guarded sufficiently. Maybe Secret Service thought the guys inside the 2-story building could see that whole roof, but they would have had to stick their heads out of the window to see down that far.
Some blind spots, but also clever planning and actions by Crooks to evade observation.
No, they WERE TOLD that he was armed, they simply IGNORED the bystanders recording it, didn't even bother to stand next to them and see for themselves.
Just noticed in 23:51 of this video that there's a guy sitting on the ground next to the cement wall with similar clothing to Crooks: a gray t-shirt, white shorts, and black shoes. However, has white socks and a white baseball cap on.
I also noticed at 18:08 of Jeff's video. An undercover is sitting on the ground while the crowd is running around screaming about a guy on the roof and he doesn't even flinch, he doesn't act in any way that you would expect to see in this situation. Total unbelievable reaction from this undercover guy.
@@tammy5926yes, I saw that in one of the first videos that I watched . Undercover, means what? Just mooch around, do nothing and collect your pay check at end of day? I’d like to ask him what his orders were on the day.

Awesome videos on this subject!
Just an observation.... No one is denying they didn't have an obscured view of the roof. That's the problem!!
The sniper team tasked with the closest rooftop to Trump didn't have a clear view. That's not ok.
If your the North team tasked with watching the North buildings and you can't see half of them!!?!?!
That's a huge issue. One that absolutely should not have happened.
Who was in charge of placing the teams? Why were they placed there?
Why were they tasked to be looking in certain directions leaving obviously gaps in coverage? Why was the closest rooftop to Trump nit able to be seen be the team watching that rooftop?
And why did Greg and his buddy leave their posts at the perfect time ?

@@denrich5796right?,I don’t know where they said they found the drone, but they were able to pull its history?
I want to know how the Butler Co SWAT officer was able to shoot Crooks' butt stock from the ground, when it was likely on the other side of the peak of the roof. Did he shoot him through the tin roof? This goes back to your point about the angles never lying. It doesn't make sense.
That was never confirmed. Higgins' words of qualification were "I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle"
@@MattNolanCustom Wrong again. A stock has two sides and the FBI lies. The other side of the stock - opposite of the side shown by the FBI - appears to have damage to the buffer tube caused by a bullet creasing it, traveling along it and then blowing out the plastic rear of the stock. That would be consistent with an essentially straight on shot from the SWAT guy on the ground. The FBI is pushing back on that evidence b/c it calls into question the narrative about the SS CS team. It is also consistent with a bullet going through Crooks' mouth and out the lower back of his head - meaning the SWAT guy may have fired the fatal shot, with Crooks taking a few moments to bleed out and die because the Bain wasn't really hit.
All of this evidence is available on rumble - see paramount tactical
The early pictures of him sitting on the wall, where do we think his backpack is at that time? And the time he is seen walking around the building?
And Jeff, can you do like an octagon video with everything timed together?
The backpack could have been stashed behind the A/C unit earlier before many people were walking around. Then he picked it up right before he crawled up to the roof, hence, all the "scraping" on the roof by that unit.

I still feel both SS CS teams knew there was a problem on the roof of the AGR building. U can tell by the north team actively searching thru their rifle scopes in shooting positions. They’re no longer looking thru their binos. The reason I believe this is because neither team is in a bubble. They may not have coms with the state & local guys but those guys are right below them. I believe they can hear the guys on the ground talking or someone on the ground yelled up to them. Once the north team becomes aware of someone on the roof u know they communicated with the south team. That is why the south team is turning north before the shooting started.
Music was playing before the rally, large crowd talking before as well.
@@KrisD007 not to mention all the local guys running towards the building. May have peaked their interest. But u know dudes were yelling back and forth to each other just below them. The north team was searching for a good bit before the first shot. South guys turned north before the shooting started. They knew something was amiss.
One point Jeff, what triggered the South SS team to turn around? When you say that the SS snipers did not know that there was a guy on the roof at 610pm as the officer drops down from looking at TC eye to eye I think more context is required. At 610 pm the SS snipers on the roof knew they had a problem guy on the AGR building, they just didn't know the problem was a gunman. Thanks for your great work.
As far as I remember the snipers knew at that point about the suspicious person with the rangefinder that was last seen at the back of agr and could have gone in the direction of Sheetz. They never got the message he got on the roof.
The north and south snipers were communicating. They saw the commotion but didn’t have the latest intel that he was on the roof.
SOUTH BARN WAS manned by LOCAL C.S.'S NOT USSS C.S.'s
@@TheNickhammond Did either north or south sniper team not have a way to radio the SS agents on the stage where Trump was to tell him to GET OFF THE STAGE

Don’t forget the text from the ESU who sent the 4:26 PM text who later texted at 5:52 PM, “that bike wasn’t there when I pulled out. Maybe have them check that car.”

The rifle was not disabled, it hit the stock only and the extension tube was untouched so it would still operate normally.
Buffer tube. It contains a spring and a weight that assists in the action of the AR15.
@danzigmcnaniel5226 trust me I realize that lol they're same thing it's technically called the reciever extension not buffer tube, and either way it wasn't hit judging by the photos from the feds 🤷
@@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548 it could have been hit. The damage shown in the pictures could be from the exit hole. From the trajectory it makes sense the bullet hit the gun somewhere more to the front and then burst out of the back, scattering the plastic.

@@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548 yeah I don't understand why that's been a talking point... the shot obviously disrupted and temporarily stunned crooks but at a glance the rifle seemed fine.
@ibendiben I think it was hit with the same bullet that the sniper took him out with, the trajectories line up perfectly with that more so than the swat guy on the ground. I'll stand with the tube wasn't damaged and ONLY the stock was lol, hopefully time will tell for certain.
The Secret Service was out to lunch on this one. No one was up on the roof where they were needed. Stupid.
18:21 min - and at what time did he realize he had "free reign" and unfettered access to the roof? 🤔
Thanks Jeff for your continuing thorough analysis
At the 16 minute mark of @Mrgunsngear UA-cam Channel's "Trump Shooter's AR-15 Detailed Breakdown & Analysis: Everything You Need To Know" video from two days ago the host gave a convincing argument that the 9th shot by the ESU counter sniper actually missed altogether, in agreement with the FBI report that Crooks's rifle was still fully functional. He went on to hypothesize that the damage to the stock was more in line with the 10th kill shot which entered above the left side of TMC's mouth and exited his right ear next to where he was holding his rifle. You may want to consider checking it out. It could change your view of the ninth shot. I will include the video link in a follow-up comment instead of here just in case UA-cam deletes comments with video links.

All of your videos are great, you’ve created a great timeline of events. What no one is addressing is the white van with Arizona plates? I saw an earlier video that it belongs to some young guy? In addition to the white van, there was also a Hyundai that had explosives in it as well. Could you please try to address these van and the Hyundai in one of your upcoming videos thanks.
The shooter's gun was NOT disabled by the first countershot. You said it yourself last video and showed us the FBI press release that explained that they tested the rifle A& found it still functional.
In any case, the FBI photo of the gun shows that the location of the damage was not on the buffer tube but above & behind it, on the upper of the movable part of the collapsable stock. Not essential to the rifle's function.
Jeff your coverage of this is great and important.
I think the decision to stay indoors at the AGR site is an example of the local snipers going easy street. I think the former SS Director took a fall for them .... she said the AGR roof was too steep to place snipers. That was her trying not to throw anyone under the bus ... forgetting that someone was going under the bus. In the end, she got run over and did not get the license number of the bus because it was travelling so fast. The location of the local snipers at the AGR site is an example of the weak plan in place. The plan sucked. The snipers inside the AGR site were almost useless in regards of providing gunner support with their rifles. Bad plan.
The thing is...are the ss a band of men that say...oopsy bad plan
Contradictive thinking because she had snipers on the same pitched roof Hercules 1 and 2. Another DEI hire most likely, women in high places.

I like your voice it reminds me of Ray Liota ..I know Dan Bongino and he didn't mean All the Snipers missing him only the ones who had a clear sight and how the team leaders did not enable for better observation. Dan knows better than to overlook the obvious
Mic drop
Right. Jeff and some followers are thinking like the USSS are just regular guys trying to do this instead of highly trained professionals. Amateurs could make all of these mistakes. Highly trained subject matter experts? Nope. Pros know to cover the AGR roof and triple check that it is covered, Pros know about the need for comms with partner agencies, especially if they are covering big chunks of the security perimeter - and especially a sector as critical as the AGR roof. There's a lot more. Most of it has been mentioned. Pros don't make those mistakes. These are mistakes that are categorically different than the Titanic disaster or a poorly engineered bridge that collapses. Jeff thinks it is the same. It isn't. Now he will delete my comment as soon as he sees it.
You are soberly reporting this so well
The angle to see over the AGR roof is even worse from the second barn where the Hercules 1 snipers actually had an unobstructed view. Instead of using the Hercules 2 teams position for that reference I would like to see the diagram based on the 1 team only.
Thank you for keeping us straight on what went on...Keep it going...thank you so much!!
The police officer that saw him on the roof was very green and unexperienced, dude this bro that
Ok, fine. Nevertheless, he described that he looked like Jesus, that is, he saw him, but he did not see the sniper, and not from the left, because there is no one on the body camera, but he saw him from the right. And why didn't he signal when he jumped down? Was it because he was wearing the same clothes as the other plainclothes police officers? Why was he so scared of her that she jumped off!? Why didn't he shoot into the ground or into the air? (I think he was confused that he saw a civilian policeman, that's why he didn't shoot and didn't signal) Hmm?
The only question I still have is the snipers in the agr building. were they still at their post and were they aware he was on the roof? Which radio channel were they on?
Alot of videos have the answers to the questions you are asking .look at the as ll,esp ially the most recent ones
Jeff: Good analysis, but the 2d floor LE sniper team had a shot at Crooks if they looked from their windows. There were many windows they had a chance to observe from the 2nd floor.
The 2nd floor sniper team were derelict in their duty to guard that roof. They could hear the crowd screaming man on the roof. Other LE were running around the building from the 3 sides, east, south, and west. The 2nd floor snipers could listen to the radio traffic about the man on the roof.
So the biggest blame now comes from the 2nd floor snipers blowing the coverage.
Yes, the roof needed LE positioned to guard the roof to foil Crooks plan.
Of course, the lack of coordinated radio communication by all the Feds, state, and local LE caused Crooks to win his objective to commit an assassination and suicide.
We need to know what was happening in Crooks life that he had suicide fulminating in his brain. The parents should have had clues their son was suicidal.
Finally, the USSS sniper teams didn’t have a clear view of all the AGR roof. So if so, their barn position was faulty. They had the primary duty to have a full line of sight for the entire roof. The plan for their barn position was faulty.
They needed drones to secure and see that roof.
They could have set up more sniper positions with more manpower.
The whole mess that day lies with all LE, Feds, state, and locals.
The fact that the parents were BOTH state therapists & and called local police only hours after they list contact seems to scream that they knew he was up to no good. That is why they hired the most influential & expensive law firm in Pittsburgh to represent them. I'm pretty sure this firm is not representing them pro Bono & by the look of their cars & home this family was not wealthy, si who's paying their fees?
Not only that if they had picked up their radios that had been programmed for communication with each other they could have stopped this from the get-go
I heard in a youtube video those snipers were told to leave their posts to look for Crooks on the ground. I think one of them was Greg Nicol. Who told them to leave their posts?
Certainly possible that one of the several sniper teams and Forward Observation Post to the South was supposed to be covering the AGR roof. If I remember correctly they had the angle.
@@markn1978AND, who told the South sniper team to turn?
At 24:13 you show an image shot from the ground close to the building and between the shooter and the stage of Crooks on the roof with a time stamp of 6:10pm, a full minute and a half before the shooting starts. Crook is clearly visible above the roof ridge FROM THE GROUND where the local Swat team sniper shot him first. He was high on the roof close to the ridge but the roof is so flat that even when he was some distance from the ridge, he could be seen from a person on the ground on the OPPOSITE side of the building. Contrary to what you say, there is no way the South counter sniper team could not see him over the ridge from their much higher vantage point. They had powerful scopes and were also using binoculars aimed right at the roof and since they had already turned around, they obviously had been alerted that there was some suspicious guy in the area or possibly on the roof. It's impossible to believe they did not clearly see Crooks well before he started firing. The video shows them zeroed in on the roof, not scanning around for an elusive suspect.
And even if they could not see that he was armed initially, surely they would have identified him as the suspect. Who else would be crawling around on a roof with a range finder and a back pack with the barrel sticking out? Any professional would have kept Crooks in their binoculars and/or their rifle cross hairs continuously from then on. By the time Crooks was taking name, the south counter sniper team could no doubt read the serial number of the rifle Crooks was aiming at President Trump. Yet they held their fire until after watching Crooks take EIGHT SHOTS AT TRUMP!. And still the Secret Service didn't fire. Only after the local Swat team sniper shot crooks did the Secret Service eliminate the human evidence.
It is impossible to believe that all this is the result of 100 really really really stupid mistakes being made all at once by a huge number of trained professionals, many with ex military experience.
building with cs2 is 11 ft higher ... AGR is in a dip ... you are being dishonest ... a freakin swatguy on the freakin ground had a better view. You want us to believe cs2 didnt have a clear shot? They turned well before the first shot ... several vids show crooks very very visible ... even from the ground 30 yards from the AGR building ... you still know nothing about CS2 and their decisionmaking, knowledge, orders ... you keep saying they couldnt see him ... thats just made up ...
About your thumbnail... The details about the closer team having to look thru the tree are some of the oldest facts we have. Pretty much knew about it by day 3. Yet, your video is only a day old or so.
I don't know what I'm really trying to say other than I think your thumbnail is odd this late in the investigation. I feel like you've been in repeat for a couple weeks now.
I'm not trying to knock you for it tho. More power to you for jumping on the most solid source of content material since Covid-19. Milk it dry!
4:26PM is 1 hour 45 min before the shots were taken. Some kind of a math mystery happened here ;P
btw. Love your videos, Jeff!
Good job Jeff. Your commentary seems to be the best theory to date.
I've been following this horrific event on J13 since I seen it on the news that day. This being my first comment/post ever, I wanted to start by saying that I like Jeff's videos & channel best & will be posting many of my views & opinions soon.
Excellent breakdown!
What we have here is...failure to communicate.
I think it was on purpose. Local cops offer their drones, walkie-talkie, and tell USSS someone needed to be on AGR because there is a tree line hindering eyesight. Who was told this and said no?!
Great video
Jeff, you are proving a planned conspiracy. You said Crooks knew exactly where to perch on the roof because he surveilled the site with a drone well before PDJT took the stage, hours even. The sniper teams were not even in place when he used the drone so how would he know they were there on top of the barn roofs? Only way would be if he knew the site plan from someone else that knew.
The 2 south facing snipers turned around neglecting their primary coverage area? How did they know they had better view of the Crooks perch location than the North team, abandon the south, set up to shoot then kill Crooks? Far fetched unless it was planned that way. Plus as soon as they decided to change coverage of the south, abandoning it, they should have alerted the protective team on the stage to get PDJT secured and off the stage.
Curious the 2 patrol car cops didn’t alert with sounding their sirens and vehicle megaphones. A grandma at the rally who sighted Crooks on the roof made more noise. Plus Jeff you mentioned where were all the cops on the ground at first alert about Crook on the move?
Too many coincidences to be considered unplanned.
He picked a spot to see Trump, not evade the sniper teams.
Obviously but there are lots of locations he could have picked. Jeff said he researched it with the drone and that's how Crooks knew the north sniper team had obstructed view. Jeff is trying to validate the lone gunman, no conspiracy theory option. It's not plausible. Crooks just ad libbed? That's a reach.
@@photosbywalt7124
Why that particular place and no other with a great view of the stage? Was Crooks just lucky to be able to successfully get off assassination attempt shots? Was the security team just unlucky to miss apprehending Crooks before he had opportunity? Predetermined fate from God?
@@photosbywalt7124 If he was trying to get a better shot at Trump why wasn't he closer to the left side of the roof as it would be closer to the stage? It's too coincidental that he wasn't worried about the counter snipers, but just so happened to find the perfect spot to not be seen by the snipers on 2nd story building behind AGR6 and shielded by the tree so the north counter snipers couldn't take a shot at him. It's like he KNEW where all the snipers would be before they actually took their positions.
Valid point. The moment the south snipers changed positions; the whole security coverage was compromised. They could easily have turned towards a diversion from the AGR building and left their coverage exposed to the south. And also, that point in time was when the SS excuse of not being in the loop with local communications goes away, because SS personnel were obviously aware of a serious threat, enough of a threat for snipers to reposition. Trump should have been grabbed at that time at the latest.
