Putting the FBI in charge of this investigation would be like putting Dracula in charge of the Blood Bank.
Jussed sayin’. 😶
Your spelling is atrocious.
They are still in that agency...It is amazing...
Or like Biden/Mayorkas in charge of the Secret Service...no ???
Dracula knows how to count, tho.
It's why they call him "The Count".
I mean.. who els would better track their Mountain Dew, right?
Like putting Israel in charge of investigating war crimes
This was 100% allowed to happen, if not something even worse than that. There is simply no way that secret service would not have someone positioned on that rooftop. It's unthinkable, it goes far beyond incompetence.
Plus the witnesses who saw the guy luring on the roof, shouting at the officers but their warnings were ignored!
@@manoftheworld1000 There is video on Reddit of people warning police and authorities several minutes, literally several minutes, prior to the shooting. Without question, the agent had the shooter under glass for several minutes and was being told to stand down. Too many things don't add up and it's just inconceivable that the rooftop would not be covered with agents physically positioned there. It's an elevated position, 150 m away from the podium and a clear line of sight. There is simply no way this could be overlooked, it's impossible.
Or this was staged, many questions to ask, how earth did a sniper position 130 yards out with a direct shot, and how did the sniper miss? Why kill the sniper? Why not question him? Who was this sniper?
@@mafiaMk87oh sure it was staged. That was evidenced by the person blown away not far from Trump. You are sick.
Likely. No way they did not see the treaty. If they could not cover it properly by personeel problems it is a no go. Not having the event on a location one can't properly secure. And this was not even a tough location.
The owner of Blackwater security firm said the way Washington works. They’ll have hearings and not nobody will be held accountable and that’s is the way Washington works.
Ron Paul has been saying this for decades
its the way western 'democracy' works everywhere in the empire. its a way of delegating responsibility whilst maintaining pretense of rule of law
Blackwater does not exist anymore. Well it does, but got renamed.

'There's a guy with a gun on THAT roof!'
Agree, that's something that makes no sense to me.
@@nokandu5684 yep, this guy is talking like he's a paid disinfo op.
How would Crooks (who lived approx 50miles away) even think that that building would be accessible and unguarded? How did he get to the building with his long rifle undetected?
Apparently he accessed the roof of that industrial building via a substantially big ladder. How convenient, where did the convenient ladder come from? Is it a new ladder? Who owns it?
This was the only line of site view corridor left accessible and unguarded by the SS to the podium and by pure coincidence Crooks has knowledge as how to access it and where to be positioned?
This aspect alone is very suspicious of possible planning and pre-arrangements by others.
Absolutely. This is the key question
Logical
Somewhere there was a picture of a maintenance access ladder built onto the side of one of the buildings. Don't know if a fact.
I think he left the rifle there (hidden) before hand somehow. Thus he was not walking around with it the day of the rally. But how he knew or assumed the roof would be unmanned is the million dollar question.
@@mikeg4247 Interesting!
How could the Secret Clowns NOT have a drone or five providing aerial surveillance?!?!
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO SURVEILLANCE SATELLITES THAT CAN VIDEO A PENNY AND THIS FBI TURD MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIS FELLOW NAZIS
I thought they can see flat roof 100 m away...with the guy on it..😂😂😂😂
Most probably because they would not be able to operate a DJI cheap but reliable one off the shelf, but they would have to be issued with a couple of super complex and super expensive ones made by Raytheon.
Drones are made in China. Trump doesn't like China 😂😂😂
All drones were sent to Ukraine..
The 2 most incredible factors here are:
If a threat was identified, why wasnt Trump immediately removed from the stage?
And, how and why on earth would the shooter ever believe that the roof he was climbing up onto would NOT be covered or actually occupied by SS agents and / or snipers..??
That fact that it wasnt is incredible, and the fact that he expected it to not be covered is way more incredible!!
That last paragraph is actually a very good point, a very good question.
A strange, dramatic and momentous series of synchronicities that ultimately lead to two possibilities that had diametrically opposed outcomes, i.e. Trump certainly not able to win the upcoming election or Trump almost certainly winning that same election.
@@brewcity2317- agree...
Ladder courtesy of the U.S. Shadow Government.
Well said
To assume that the snipers didn’t know that the person on the roof with a rifle wasn’t a bad guy is utterly ridiculous. Law enforcement have what’s called briefings before any event. The sniper team would know where every member of law enforcement was staged / assigned. Period.
Wannabe hippy in shorts and tennis shoes sneaking up on a President. Omg he COULD be one of us!
Trump’s security team requested more secret service agents during campaign events, but was denied.
Jill BRIBEN had the A team at here event in PA that day. Trump needs private security like Black water -
Is that sheep being guarded by wolfs...Are they that naive or what..
@@sasapopadic384right and having the FBI investigate this is laughable, if the FBI weren't such a vile organization.
Trump betreaed all his friends after he became Präsident. He was protected by the Army intel bodyguards not the CIA but after he made a deal with the FBI (Trump trapp 06.01 Capitol) he needed CIA support. He is a rat. He kept none of his many promisses. He is a deep state men. Does not matter how you vote for an Antichrist a false christian will allways be the next boss. And doing the right job has nothing to do with numbers. Also the local police is involved You need only 6 officers to cover a roofe. And they dont have to be snipers only regular men with wappons. Frank
JB is disapproval the request
Don't believe this guys take for a second.
Those SS counter terrorist snipers were 150 yards from a hostile sniper and they couldn't tell if he was a friendly or not?
No way buddy!
They don't intentionally leave roof tops unmanned and then wonder who that guy is with long hair way past his shoulders and he gets into a prone position pointing his rifle in the direction of the former president and you are still not sure what to do?
So, you take your eyes off your scope and look directly at the shooter and watch him start shooting before you act?
This guy is not even slightly believable.
He has the nerve to criticize all these people making incorrect assessments and then he makes the most ridiculous speculation.
Imagine being a security team that doesn't know where all of their team is and where other agency assistance will be, ie: roof tops?
Not professional and not even plausible.
Ask yourself why is this guy making this argument?
I think we all know......
Agree that guy totally unconvincing piss poor analogy remember Larry guy says he s ex CIA well no such thing ex

Im just a forklift technician but all my family has been military for generations.

How was this allowed to happen on our secret services watch?

It was not allowed...It was planed..
Yeah, because that huge city has 5,000 police officers working there. Maybe 20, if that many.
@@laurenmay2098 the secret service isn't supposed to divert responsibility to local police. This protection is responsibility of the secret service through whatever means nessicary. It sounds like a poor excuse for secret service to blame local officers.

Irresponsible conspiracy theories that creates (anyone who does it, regardless of party or no party) this kind of violence that Larry has been spreading. Just misinfo, like all the trolls of 9/11, blaming half the country, who had nothing to do with this, and claiming the shooter was a Chinese Natl immigrant (sorry it wasn't, Larry 🙄).

@@cnelsonlv99 long winded maybe, but certainly not BS.
Not buying they mistook that kid for law enforcement
Exactly
Agree
If not an inside job, incompetence at that level is also a crime!
The problem I have with their analysis is that the CST should have been on the roof, positioned, and set up long before the crowd or Trump came in. The CST team should have known EXACTLY who WAS or WAS NOT on any other roof. They should have confirmed coms and readiness before crowd came in. No ground crew would climb up onto a rooftop once the event started without notifying the CST. There should not have been any confusion that a person on that roof was a threat.
he knows all that, he's just a loyal goon for the deep state, he's proud of all the international man of mystery adventures he's embarked on for the elites, what a freak.
It's a sad statement to make, but who here thinks the FBI is going to do an efficient job?
No trust in them
Not me, FBI is discredited since a long time.
They are weaponized.
The DOJ as a whole, is weaponized.
@honeagreeybell2273
What about the normal people on the ground who reported they were pointing to the assassin for 3-4 minutes and easily being seen by Secret Service and even talking to police, but totally being ignored…?
Nonsense. The SS sniper would or should have known who were legitimate rooftop security and where they were located. SS wouldn't have been told "Don't worry if you see some guy on a roof with a rifle, it will probably be a local law enforcement officer". Ridiculous. Little of this makes any sense.
Absolutely convincing argument. Who, and where could be on those roofs was established prior to the event. Inserting a notion that it could be someone from a local security, due to the error in communication, is absurd!
he's still an Agent Man through and through, hopefully Larry's bromance with him doesn't suffer too badly when he figures out he's loyal to the machine above all else.
@@Veldtian1 I totally agree. He struck me as a willing and enthusiastic functionary of the US empire.

This guy is blabing too much . Secret service didn't do their job properly . Period .
Good documentary on tactics and gunshot's though.
They did the job properly. The way they were told to do.
Dialogue Works ..Nima. your really going above and beyond bringing us so many interviews. Greatly appriciated .Thank you !!!
Didn’t the head of the Secret Service proclaim DEI to be her top priority? In other words admit to hiring not based on merit but on sex and race. The Competency Crisis almost killed President Trump and did kill somebody else.
She definitely advocated for hiring more women to promote a balanced agency, I distinctly recall hearing that. Likely the whole DEI agenda, but I only remember the female part.
You know it's just great if they find competent female agents. I'm sure they can find jobs where the women can be effective in their job but this has nothing to do with women agents. This is agents turning a blind eye to the threat.
Great cover story. This had nothing to do with competency.
Donald Trump is NOT the President at the moment
DEI wich is sexist, racist and as ridicoulous as not hiring people on that basis. Exactely the same bad types of discrimination. Do that in a sports team and see where it gets you in the league.
So this guy left home and by luck found that roof free and a ladder to climb on it?!?
It means that this man was so lucky that he could have won the lottery easily.😂
Nima you are the best. Giving your platform to two people who are experts on the subject.
Expert? 5 min. interview in 60 min.
Not too smart: all he did he stated the obvious.
Keep repeating high school physics.
@@yoo_zenyeah he was definitely repeating himself A LOT
I do not agree with the guest's argument, Chris Whitcomb. The Secret Service snipers, it seems to me, were there to allow the assassin to accomplish his mission and then to kill him, so that he would not talk. It is ridiculous to say that the snipers saw the assassin with the rifle and did nothing but consult with their direct superior whether they should shoot him or not. How absurd! Did they perhaps chat about anything while waiting for permission, taking the assassin out of their sights? If that were the case, that sniper position could be filled by any old lady.
Probably did not want to believe the worst about his fellow snipers, or maybe just not wanting to rock the boat too much.
THIS GUY IS RETIRED FBI. OF COURSE HE WILL COVER IT UP. HE IS ONE OF THE FBI CRIMINALS THAT HAVE BEEN SETTING UP TRUMP AND RAIDED HIS MARO LAGO HOME
And you dont get many professional law enforcement employees that look like a skinny geek gamer dude now do you.
100 per cent agree why didnt they report to protect trump while they were "assessing" who this guy was?
@@ohsweetmystery That is definitely the feeling which comes out in this presentation. Informative on what is supposed to be done!
He forgot to mention the undercover secret service that go around checking people in the crowd.
he's a boomer, both of them actually, incompetent and idiotic to the core.
You just reminded me of the `undercover` drugs squad guys, who`d go around asking to buy tablets at T in the Park.
😎
Now of that incident where the buyer and seller was both om the job, unaware they was colleagues from different departments?
This guy sure can talk about everything that is unimportant, Madcow has got to get him on its show.
Irrelevant in this case. The shooter was out of perimeter.
Hi Larry and Chris. Wow, great presentation! In 2 days of almost-non-stop watching commentary on this crime, yours is the only fact- and evidence-based discussion. No one else comes anywhere close in terms of their knowledge of guns, ammunition, and the logistics of sniper and marksmanship work. Thank you!
Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker said, “It was a total security breakdown from start to finish. From the total security plan for the rally to the reaction once the shots rang out.” He further added, “Imagine if the shooter hadn’t been this kid but a well-trained cell? Our enemies are looking at us thinking we can take Trump or anyone out now without a problem.”
The expert analysed the incident and the following protection measures in detail and said he was not against the director or agents being women given he has three daughters and three granddaughters who could be great secret agents in the future. He said, “But the women I saw up there with the president - they looked like they were running in circles. One didn’t know how to holster, the other one didn’t seem to know what to do, and another one seemed not to be able to find her holster. DEI is one thing. Competence and effectiveness is another, and I saw DEI out there."
Why lie?
I was unimpressed with the women, too. Actually, some of the men looked confused as well.
This is understandable to me and it doesn't make them bad people.
From my perspective a lack of experience in related live, high stress events, will likely leave the inexperienced confused. And not everyone operates as well under that kind of high stress.
But due to all of that I can't assume through faith that the Secret Service are the best on Earth as they purport to be.
So the shooter was in a t shirt, had hippy long hair, and the pants were not camo, had no leo garb or items.
If the talk went through channels, and if anyone had the game plan like the snipers knowing who not to shoot, which they must know, or it's all a joke, all this CYA and obfuscation is worthless.
"We got a shooter on the roof he just crawled on the public alerted us, we don't know ANYTHING about this new person crawling in after the rally started, gawking across an open field carrying a rifle....
Yes, I am just not going to ever give a break on it. They had MANY MINUTES TO SCOPE THE TARGET, WERE ON HIM LONG PRIOR TO THE SHOTS BEING FIRED.
Don't forget the LADDER
At the very least, trump and those around him should have been alerted. Strange dude showing up...not connected to protection SS....
His argument falls apart when he rambles about the snipers not knowing if he was a legitimate target. No uniform. No hat. Long hair. Low crawling. Two, I don't understand why there wasn't one guy acting as a spotter. You know, someone who is always eyeballing the target.
Yes , if unsure of the guy , at least get Trump off the stage. They musta known he wasn't there before and this was in the middle of the event. @@anndeeraney5401
@chrislutzagree that whitcombe guy got false at that point very unconvincing doesn't probe deep enough and talked too much and saying nothing 416
The proposition that the two snipers didn't know whether the person on the roof was a 'good guy' or 'bad guy' just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
Correct, they will have been briefed before hand who will be where.
I wondered why the Secret Service snipers on the roof didn't notice the other roof behind the podium didn't have snipers on it. That roof was a completely unguarded space. How did they miss it since they were in a position to see it.
@@vickydavis4748I thought there were 2 snipers behind the podium?
@@molliestanton2869 The ROOF on the building that was located BEHIND the podium. I didn't phrase that sentence very well. Sorry.
That is he a good guy or bad guy a piss poor analogy
At 5:45, Larry brings up what he calls the 'site survey'. This is EXACTLY what the Secret Service "Advance Team" does. This is the team sent before the president or vice president are ever on site. When Dick Cheney was to come to Tokyo in 2003 for meetings in the US Embassy, it was his Secret Service Advance Team whom I was tasked with escorting through site preparation as an Embassy contracted employee. This involved going over every single potential breach of security location that could be identified, and securing it. This is always done and maintained prior to the event and fully secured throughout.
I don't believe incompetence has anything to do with this assassination attempt. I believe that shooter was a known danger, and allowed to position himself accordingly.
Funny, The Dick Cheney reference, wasn't he the one that told the f16s to stand down on 911?
For goodness sake ,, the people were yelling at the police that is a sniper on the roof.. and nothing
As soon as this guy said the SS 'Body' people did a good job I tuned out. What bullshit!
Agreed. Total bs
Yeah...that's strange, those SS guys were completely useless.
These guys are full of shit
100%
@pbrstreetgang2489
To be fair half of them were 5 foot 5 women.
After people noticed someone with a rifle crawling on the roof with a rifle and alerted law enforcement, a police officer did climb the ladder but retreated after the shooter pointed his rifle at him. At this point it was obvious he was a bad guy, not someone from law enforcement. The policeman who retreaedt we can assume called it in, 5-7 minutes before the shooter fired on Trump. Why is Whitcomb assuming in all this time the counter sniper pair were not informed that the guy on the roof was a bad guy? Even if they were not informed, from 150 yards away they could see a guy laying on the roof pointing a long gun at the stage - why would any law enforcement officer be in that position?? It makes no sense. I would not give the counter sniper pair a pass on this.
I think the snipers didn't see him untill he popped up and started shooting, he was on warehouse's inclined roof similar to the roof they were on, but he was crawling at the opposite side and kept his body below the roof ridge, this is what I think... if they were on higher roof they would have seen him easily... or if he was on flat roof.
@@Helmy67 I agree. But how did this untrained kid know what route to take through the field, how to get over the fence, where to quickly find and PLACE the ladder, and which side of the roof on which to crawl into a concealed position from the SS snipers where he had a perfect shot at Trump?
@@mtg1776yeah, there are many unanswered questions, I didn't see that ladder, I don't know it is fixed ladder or movable one, and if it is movable maybe he placed it there earlier, I don't think he was going there carrying the ladder and the rifle at the same moment, that would look hilarious lol, and maybe he hid the rifle beside that warehouse beforehand as well... at the end of the day, we can say there were negligence, the question is: is it intentional or not?!!!
Agree 100%! I'm not buying this take!
@@Helmy67 You are for sure wrong! They had their rifles on him the instant he started shooting, and even the guest pointed out that they must have known he was there in order to have taken him out as quickly as they did. So throw your theory into the trash!
There is no way in hell this was not a setup. Period
Agree
Thanks Larry & Nima for posting this analysis so quickly. Thanks to Chris as well for taking his time to explain what may have happened to us laymen.
Just call him “President Trump.” That’s who he is.

From what I have seen the Secret Service agents did not operate well at all. They exposed the principal many times during the exit, then one of them struggled to holster their gun and looked confused. All in all it looked like a clown show.

The objective analysis of data is good. But the cheesey banter (including 'we're the best' bullcrap) is lame and impresses nobody except themselves and wannabe's.

I think the US Secret Service can no longer be considered the very best of the very best because from JFK to Regan to Trump they dropped the ball so many times when it mattered they look like they just get lucky most of the time.
You can't be serious: "We have a guy walking through a field with camouflage pants and assault rifle, looking like a hippy with long hair etc." - surely they would assume he's part of the security detail team :D

Incompetency is best alibi for political malicious intent or nefarious activity. Incompetency excuse is used way to many times so not one person is truly held accountable.
Regarding the hesitation by the CST on the rooftop in identifying the threat, I hear what you are saying but consider this: 1) with their optics (binoculars or scope) they could have easily seen he was wearing a t-shirt and gray camouflaged cargo shorts, 2) he was aiming TOWARDS the protectee, 3) he was not wearing a ballistic helmet or vest. I also heard online that he WAS challenged by law enforcement while on the roof but they backed down (speculation at this point only).
How somebody without uniform and with a rifle can be considered an oficial sniper?
Those snipers could see the young man Face and would know he wasn’t part of any police protection team. I do blame CNN, ABC and NBC USA Paper and especially CNN that said Trump cause this!
So many politicians and actors...Dniro, Biden, pelosi asking for Trump being taken out...a guy acts out...boom...this needs accountability not blame placed on Trump. When u fuel hate expect crazies to come out...your words mean something. Accountability is required...by media too

@@anndeeraney5401it's called "incitement to violence".
@@anndeeraney5401Media is only accountable to their masters for their spin and lies.
To me, the most disturbing part of the analysis is how a critical elevated position that is unguarded could have a ladder close by the could provide access to the roof. If you are going to leave a critical position unattended by security, at least reduce or elimante the posibility that someone could gain easy access to the roof. This is inconceivable that something of this nature could so easily be overlooked. This assumes all the facts offered are indeed facts.
Why would a "Sheriffs deputy" leopard crawl on a roof if he is there to investigate?
Larry Johnson and Chris Whitcomb provide great insight into the working of a VIP/Secret Service protection operation and raise many serious and important questions.
Look at lady who is director of the SS. Was she a diversity hire? She was head of security for PEPSICO. Did she have actual experience in what the SS does for presidential event security? Can we trust the FBI to investigate and report honestly? The politicization of these federal agencies is beyond a doubt. Who was in the SS chain of command? Especially on advance planning and risk assessment on site?
This was a good talk on the tactical level. Pull back to the strategic level and examine the people in the chain of command.
I like your division of tactical vs strategic levels. I wouldn't trust the fbi for anything. They created the Russian collusion hoax, trying to link it to President Trump. The bogus story ran full time in the media for 2 years, misinforming and distracting us.

Often the background was important. The guy was just more long winded than some prefer. We may just be get to the point. Did you make use of the fast forward option? I did little bits at a time. 😊
But how did the kid find the hole on the perimeter? He seems confident he is not going to be stopped, that he is going to gain access to that roof and that he is not being to be shot prior to taking his chance...
It is absolutely absurd that all snipers on a given detail do not know exactly where each other is. I do not accept and will never accept that this was a mistake.
The main question was asked by that red-haired guy interviewed by the BBC. He asked why Trump was still on stage talking while the police were being warned that this guy was crossing the field and climbing the roof. That warning went on for minutes and the rally was never interrupted out of caution, until they could identify what was happening. Larry and Chris, I think, are way too far into the weeds (interesting discussion, all the same) but miss the most obvious issue.
From Wikipedia: "Whitcomb was a participant at the Waco siege, LA Riots, and Ruby Ridge. His final assignment with the FBI consisted of working with the Critical Incident Response Group. He was one of seven snipers involved in the killing of Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge."
Nothing to be proud of there. Disgusting actually.
also from wikipedia: "Johnson is best known for spreading a hoax in 2008 that Michelle Obama had been videotaped using a slur against Caucasians". lmao
😳 That's why he wouldn't name the assignments he'd been on.
Once a Corrupt Fibber always a Corrupt Fibber....Lary should of let us know the b/g of this Creep!!
This guy in a black shirt has been talking about nothing for 15 minutes. Truly a talking head!
He fucking dragged it out and im not even sure I'm clear at the end of it.
Exactly... His ego is larger than Texas
@@zikfocus Larry & Guest are BOTH Feds & are seem to be doing the old controlled opposition song&dance, IMO
😅😅
the secret service was completely incompetent. WTH is this dude talking about? They didn't do ANYTHING like they were supposed to.
What I do not understand in this day and age why did they not have a drone watching the whole scene in real time from above. It is so basic ????
Same thing trying to find Saturn with a telescope when you can see it with the naked eye.
Nima has aged , all them interviews finally got to him
@nima is ageless
@larry is only slightly older
what nonsense
lol not everybody got the joke
Hilarious! Love it. Humor is always welcome and encouraged.
America has a very serious internal security issue.
And it has nothing to do with "right wing" politics.
Let me get this straight.
The two snipers shot the gunman IMMEDIATELY after he fired off a few rounds. Barely seconds between the gunman firing his rifle and the snipers returning fire. Therefore it would be safe to assume that they already had him in their sights for some time
So, these snipers whose one and only task is to eliminate ANY potential threat, watched an unidentified man crawl around on a rooftop with a rifle, watched him aim his rifle at Trump, but only fired at him AFTER he shot off a few rounds because they weren't sure who he was? And we're to believe this is a plausible scenario because of some protocol whereby snipers need to receive official permission to eliminate an IMMEDIATE THREAT???
Gaslighting BS
Enough with the repetition over and over and over again!
Well said 👍👍👍👍
He had to take up time somehow.
Thanks for re-posting this!
Someone said a police officer climbed the ladder after someone warned of sniper, was threatened by sniper, and climbed down again.
Uvalde?
Guy sounds like an apologist.
Larry is a vague figure.
Tells the truth carefully sometimes to limit damage for the Establishment.
He has to go a long way in order to be credible when he plays something down, but he is a safety valve letting some truth out.
@peterduveen5218
He's just trying to play devils advocate and try to conceptualize a scenario in which it might not have been an inside job but the fact that you have to go out of your way to try and wrap your brains around how that might actually be possible isn't a great indicator i would say.
@@hollowgonzalo4329lol
I think it's more about letting the audience know how it works in these agencies, on these jobs. Never underestimate the incompetence of senior staff, the vagueness of line of command and RoE!!
@@hamonryechinaski180 No. If this happened in Pakistan, which is much less competent in every way, everyone would know exactly what happened, because they all know the ISS runs the country. You just won’t accept the Deep State runs America. Trump is exactly like Imran Khan. It’s the exact same situation.
Thanks so much for this great content Larry Johnson and Chris God bless you both
@nima is the best on @y.t.
@phil donahue @jack parr @larry king @johnny carson @groucho marx = were the best of their time..
this guy is running cover,first thing to do take Trump off the stage ,This guy is probably a war criminal his list of countrys WOW
Larry Johnson on a Brazilian podcast said that the shooter was Chinese. I lost all respect and credibility for him. Very irresponsible
Didn't he say the shooter could be anyone , he could be chinese or an illegal
Yeah, saw that, too! Probably because the guy doesnt have caucasian features , still, disappointing, I agreem
me lost all respect f LJ long ago.
I did Appreciate the conversation...thank you both.
Yeah, well, this is how bureaucrats do their best to protect you. Act accordingly.
[ Act accordingly.] --> EXACTLY. Trump is a non-government/private enterprise type guy and his campaign organization is raising tens of millions of $$$. You don't think it's a savvy expenditure to have advance security teams on your own payroll reporting to you to scope out campaign event areas and stake out security positions? Trump's life is ultimately in the hands of the government? Is this America? It's not even Mexico.
thank you for this very informative video........ my basic question is "how did that kid knew that there is no officers on that roof" ??!!
Excellent question 😎
I completely disagree with your assessment of "delay to identify the threat" with regard to rules of engagement because 1) assuming the SS sniper knew the protected perimeter, 2) the shooter's position was outside of the perimeter and 3) therefore there were no local law enforcement protecting the roof. 140yds is an easy sight ID even without a scope. In a split second, the sniper position had an easy ID to the the incoming threat. Plus, the sniper had support there with him.
Thank you Nima!
No police would not be wearing camouflage pants!
ONLY POLICE SWAT WEAR MILITARY UNIFORMS AND GEAR
The National Gaurd were in camos.
There were guys there in camo.
What about the Panama shirts?😂
What about long hair?
As someone who knows nothing about this stuff, that was very, very informative.
Sorry so many comments, great interview we appreciate your guests experience and opinion.
I have complaints about the S.S. and their response.. it was way too SLOW.
There were multiple shots fired by the time they got to him and HE crouched down to the ground, they didn't put him there.
AND, had they listened to the civilians in the crowd that REPEATEDLY told the police that there was an armed man on the roof, it would NOT have gone as far as it did and two innocent people would not have been injured or killed.
This analysis seems like an attempt to set the narrative.
And I AM NOT BUYING IT.
Very disappointing, Larry.
VERY disappointing.
All the agencies have been co-opted. not the same anymore.
Brilliant talk and analysis Larry, thank you.
Sorry Larry but this guy is to much to take, i do follow and like your stuff, but the guy the ex sniper on Viva Frei's channel explained it all of it the protocol everything he got right to the point have a look at that channel.
Doesn't add up. Unless security was complicit. I'm a bit wary of an "ex" FBI guy and CIA guy trying to explain this snafu.
You know full well that a CIA guy would never lie or distort 😦. As for being an ex-CIA there is no such thing. Once CIA always CIA...like the mafia.
Some people criticizing, but this is an excellent program, in depth content you will never see on msm,
We like information and context. It's important. Yet matey is droning and has taken 45mins to give 10mins worth of info. Concise doesn't mean pointless detail and self important bs. Larry does try to summarise but matey even interrupts and bloviates through that.
Christ, he's like a guy that's used to sitting in middle of a circle surrounded by acolytes and has lost the ability to be concise and direct...He's an ex sniper, talk on that! We'll let an ex close CP guy take us through the dos, don'ts and marks out of 10 his close support deserve. We don't need THIS guy to give us 15mins on that ffs. I got to 25mins and he still hadn't even MENTIONED the sniper teams snd seemed to forget we wanted to know about why the other roof didn't have a team on it. Thats what happens when you bloviate, you lose track, you're not concise and in giving lots of pointless detail you forget the important stuff.
I daresay he's like whoever gave Trumps security team their pre event pep talk!!😂😂
This guy is painful to listen to. Get to the bloody point!
Agreed, it was hard to stay awake 😂
you want narrative, the guy wants you to understand nuance. Meaning, not for sheep simpletons.
@@cdgncgn So why did a building complex 140 yds away not have a LEO or two on it?
Spot on! Hes way to impressed with himself. Bloviating to a ludicrous degree! I keep fast forwarding and ges STILL Bloviating
@@cdgncgnyes, it's not cos he's long winded and giving us information we're not here for. Hes here as an ex SNIPER. Do u see? No. We need to listen to a bloviator or we're 'sheep'. Yes, sure Einstein. Larry tries to hurry him along repeatedly, is Larry a sheep too? Should it take 30 MINUTES to even get close to the question of unguarded roof and slow to take the shot?
No. Just no. But sure, sheeples!!🤡
Thanks gentlemen. I really appreciate you helping me wrap my poor brain around this event. I expected something like this since 2016, but I am still in shock.
Saw a comment on another channel, by a someone who said they lived in Butler PA - they said that the county commissioners had refused to provide extra security for the event.
Another report, on a fairly reputable channel, said that the sniper team had acquired the target, before he started shooting - that they requested permission to engage - and were told to stand down - and 45 seconds later, the target opened fire.
Cop on roof and Crooks at same time of stand down and clarify?
Secret Service has a $3 billion budget.
So we seriously need to have female DIVERSITY HIRE’S for this particular job ?
This is a sick joke
