The information coming out from the Butler PA Trump Rally Shooting provided by authorities does not make sense. The federal narrative has been unwinding and falling apart the past week since the attempted assassination of President Trump.
Very limited information has emerged, usually in the form of selective leaks by the FBI to compliant media outlets.
Part of the story that has not made sense is how Thomas Matthew Crooks, aged 20, with no specialized training, was able to identify a very unique security flaw in the rally arrangements, find the one building that would give him a clear line of sight to kill President Trump, evade any engagement by law enforcement, and then end up on top of a building where a counter-sniper team was operating inside, all at the exact right times in order to try and kill President Trump.
The lack of clarity about where the counter-sniper team was in the building has contributed to the confusion.
Part of the story has been that unnamed police took a photograph of Crooks prior to the shooting.
The Gateway Pundit can exclusively reveal that the police who took the photo were those in the second floor of the AGR Building who inexplicably did not engage Crooks while on the roof, did not attempt to stop him from taking shots at President Trump, and whose presence is conspicuously absent from most mainstream media reporting on the rally shooting.
