New texts show authorities knew of Trump’s would-be assassin 90 minutes before shooting

Newly surfaced texts have proven law enforcement knew of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin nearly two hours before the shooting.

Officials previously claimed that Thomas Matthew Crooks was noticed by agents roughly an hour before.

The New York Times obtained texts between members of the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit.

The unit member’s texts provide a far more solid and earlier timeline leading up to Crook’s opening fire at the Pennsylvania rally.

The text messages also revealed the 20-year-old shooter was aware of law enforcement presence at the rally.

At a congressional hearing, it was revealed that authorities identified Crooks as a suspicious person 60 minutes before the shooting.

Saying it's Trump's fault for holding an outdoor rally is a bit like saying it was JFK's fault for being in a motorcade.

Not incompetence, they knew exactly what they were doing

[johnny-ive]

How did one 20 year old find the only spot not covered by law enforcement to do what he had planned?

[rtos]

They are unlikely to be this incompetent- there are wheels within wheels here.

[aperson]

That's treason and all should be charged as such

“If you see something, say something” People in the rally were alerting Police, but they did nothing….This thing stinks and it certainly was an inside job. The kid was a terrible shooter, and the Deep state had fingers crossed Hoping That 1 shot out of 8, would be deadly, but it backfired. Kid is dead. Now why didn’t SS snipers knowing he was up on the roof, from the crowd yelling and pointing….Brings us back to, “see something, say something”. The kid was the fall guy, bet he didn’t thing he would be Killed….This Stinks, it was inside job…

All 4 victims should sue, especially the family of the deceased victim.

This can't Be buried. Please sky Australia report everything you can. YouTubers done experiments they won't do and it speaks volumes. Find these details and if it makes sense report it because the United States media with the exception of fox is done talking about it. They can't bury this too. Keep up the good work. We the people deserve the truth about this and a few other things

Everybody played their part, Except Trump. He was not supposed to turn his head. Biden asked Trump to his face and said " what made you turn your head". A dead giveaway.

the same guards who fell asleep outside epsteins cell were hired to watch the roof but they left their post to get lunch

[stoptech]

Oh look he's aiming a rifle at Trump. You think he looks suspicious???

[beez]

So its not a gun issue afterall. Its an admistration issue. It goes to the top. The admistration is dangerous and should be banned. Everyone stay inside, the government cant protect you, but you arent allowed to protect yourself 🙄

[d.lawrence]

So they are all responsible for the man who lost his life and should all be charged with MURDER!!!!

[BubbyPlaisan]

People allowed this to happen. No one will ever be reprimanded for this

[kevinbratcher]

It’s so refreshing to see media that isn’t run on lies and stupidity.

[dailydonkeysaltydabs]

Why is everyone showing his 8th grade photo for? What are they hiding from us? The fact that he is a trans?

[george.a]

Croocks knew who hired him and that's why he was not afraid of climbing onto that roof his only mistake was he missed and they killed him.

Unlike the O-Bidumb campaign, Trump’s basement isn’t large enough for the crowds of supporters he draws.

[leroylindblom]

That place should have been packed with security. WTF

[derrickcordova]

The worst part about all this, no one will held accountable. I bet the SS director got a severance package. What is seriously disturbing is incompetence is the best case scenario.
