Plot to Kill Trump at Butler Rally Exposed!

>> Continued From the Previous Page <<

The story further complicates when considering how Crooks could have conducted the necessary advance research to understand the security protocols at the Trump rally. It’s puzzling how he identified the exact building to climb to take sniper shots at Trump.

According to USA Today, “Hours before the shooting, Crooks stopped at a Home Depot in his hometown of Bethel Park and purchased a ladder, CNN and NBC reported, citing unnamed law enforcement officials.”

CNN adds, “On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member and practiced firing, a law enforcement official told CNN. The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said.”

Bethel Park is located 45 miles, or about an hour’s drive, south of Butler, Pennsylvania, and has one Home Depot location at 4000 Oxford Dr, Bethel Park, PA 15102. Mainstream media claims that Crooks bought a 5-foot ladder for the rally. The lightest such ladder sold by Home Depot weighs around 12 pounds. Given that Crooks is presumably an average male, weighing around 190 pounds and standing at 5’9, carrying a 12-pound ladder and an AR-15-style gun (which weighs about 7 pounds), his total weight with these items would be around 209 pounds.

With a five-foot ladder, it seems unlikely that Crooks could have easily gained entry to the roof of the building, which is about 10+ feet tall. Crooks was allegedly observed through a window by a counter-sniper team located inside the building he was attempting to scale.

The most plausible location where Crooks might have been observed through a window and placed his ladder to gain roof access is near the backloading bays at the AGR facility. According to the official story, Crooks then set up the ladder, climbed up, and accessed the roof.

Carry 46 rounds concealed? (comfortably)

CBS News, using anonymous law enforcement sources, reported a highly implausible narrative about Crooks, describing how he managed to find the one building with a perfect line-of-sight to President Trump. CBS detailed how Crooks allegedly chose a building with counter-snipers inside, alerting a sniper who only took a photo on his phone and forwarded it elsewhere. Meanwhile, Crooks wandered on the roof, undetected by the counter-snipers busy texting photos of their targets.

CBS News further reported, “Details continued to emerge on Tuesday about the sequence of events leading up to the shooting. In addition to the ammunition he purchased, the gunman also bought a ladder at Home Depot before the rally on Saturday, two law enforcement sources told CBS News, after it was first reported by CNN. Home Depot condemned the violence in a statement.”

It remains unclear whether the shooter brought the ladder to Trump’s event, where he ultimately ended up on the roof of a building about 410 feet from the main stage, just outside the security perimeter established on the property, according to law enforcement sources and video analyzed by CBS News.

Multiple witnesses and law enforcement officers were aware of the gunman’s presence on the roof just before the shooting. Three snipers from local tactical teams, assisting Secret Service agents at the rally, were stationed inside the building Crooks used for the attack. A local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the events told CBS News that the snipers were stationed inside to scan the crowd through the windows. BeaverCountain.com initially reported details about the three snipers.

One of the snipers saw the gunman outside the building, observing the roof before disappearing. The sniper observed the gunman returning, sitting down, and looking at his phone. The sniper then took a picture of the gunman and saw him looking through a rangefinder minutes before the assassination attempt. The sniper immediately radioed to the command post and attempted to send the photo up the chain of command.

Online sources placed the ladder on top of a structure next to the backloading bay, seemingly validating the federal narrative. One such image circulating online attempts to explain that the police were the ones with the 10+ foot ladder, and that Crooks’ ladder could have been placed next to the loading bay to gain roof access.

When Gateway Pundit reporters approached the AGR facility yesterday, they were told to leave the premises by both the FBI and the Pennsylvania State Police. However, they managed to snap a quick photograph of the spot.

The structure next to the loading bay that Crooks could have used to place his 5-foot ladder to gain roof access is a CRAFTSMAN 4-ft x 6-ft Resin Storage Shed. Retailing online for $600, the manual for this shed explicitly states that nothing should be placed on the roof, which cannot support any weight.

Given that the roof can only support 20 pounds per square foot, every step Crooks took on it should have collapsed the roof, bringing him to the ground.

The mainstream media’s narrative, sourced anonymously, lacks credibility. If law enforcement is misrepresenting how Crooks got onto the roof, it undermines the credibility of federal law enforcement.

Oddly, when Gateway Pundit reporters approached the AGR building, they noticed a large FBI van on-site, even though Crooks’ body had been removed on Saturday night. There should not have been any evidence left to process at that spot.

On-site agents referred all media questions to the Pittsburgh FBI Field Office, which quickly informed Gateway Pundit that they had nothing to offer.

Law enforcement is now suggesting to friendly mainstream media outlets that Crooks climbed air conditioner units to access the roof. The story keeps changing as prior narratives fall apart.
