Yeah, if you have like a, you know, 18X magnifier on it, you're shooting at paper and you're on a bench and you've got a nice little platform set up, that's an easy shot.
He puts it was outside the perimeter. So it was in his car. Right. So I don't think that was within like the security perimeter. OK, just wherever he parked his car. He's got bombs in it. He's got operational bombs in his car. And he puts a drone up. What do we know about that? So we know that he showed up around the park, I think around one o'clock, so that the event was starting six-ish.
So they probably opened the doors at four, let people in. He was there beforehand, just kind of walking around, looking at things, casing it. Comes back at, I think, 345-ish, 351, and flies a drone for like 20 minutes. Wow. Flies it all around, looks at everything, gets a bird's eye view. They were able to recreate the path that he had when they got the drone and the controller.
But there were no pictures from that flight. So he's looking at it on his controller, flying it and seeing what it sees. But when they go to the device, there's no images on it. They can recreate the flight path, but that's it. So he does that for like 20 minutes.
And what's interesting is the whole day, so the Secret Service didn't send their own drones, but they sent some guy who'd gotten trained like a month or two previous, not on drone mitigation, but on drone detection. So he brings his little stuff in where he can go and detect a drone. They can use it to figure out where the controller is and where a person is. Doesn't work all day.
Doing tech support. Turns out he had a bad Ethernet cord. You can't make that up. He had a bad Ethernet cord. So he finally gets his working at like 415. Yeah. literally minutes after Crooks had been done doing his recon with his drone.
I don't know. In the reports that are available, they say that they recreated the flight path and it went all around the area. Whether it went right over that podium, I don't know. I would assume so. You have 20 minutes. It wasn't a big area.
No, I don't think he took it through the magnetometer. So one of the problems was you have this area that really isn't that big. It's a farm show. So you've got a horse ring for people doing stuff with livestock. You've got a big field. You've got grandstands here and there. You've got a bunch of barns, but it's not a big area.
And you would think they would have made the whole thing the security perimeter, like a full circle all the way around. You're not getting in without getting checked for anything. But they ended up carving out this area, which was the American Glass Research, the AGR building, the sprawling – we'll call it like a five-building complex. And it was from one of those roofs that he shot Trump from.
and they decided you know we're going to put that outside of our security perimeter so you can get to that area without having been screened or anything no magnetometers no pat downs and that's like 130 150 yards from the president Um, I think he may have been around that area with the rangefinder. He may have gotten in, but they, they ask one of the secret service agents.
He's like, well, a rangefinder is not a prohibited item. It's suspicious. It makes you wonder.
Yeah. He's not golfing. Okay. He's not like trying to figure out, did you use the nine iron or like my pitching wedge? Yeah. You know why someone has a rangefinder. It's for shooting. Yeah. And by the way, there's a difference between golf rangefinders and ballistic rangefinders. Of course. It's a big difference. Yeah.
Like you get a nice ballistic rangefinder and it'll tell you not just like your horizontal distance, it'll give you your actual shooting distance compensating for your angle of view and all that. Like, that's not like, oh, it's 108 yards. Plus it's camo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like. So they see that and the local cops flag him as suspicious.
So the local cops start kind of getting on their radios and saying, hey, there's a dude with a range finder. Like, everyone be on the lookout for it.
uh secret service doesn't really hear this because all the counter snipers uh their their lead counter sniper who is the most junior person on the team which i find fascinating the counter snipers hadn't been used i think on a non-presidential event in ever this was the first one they put of the four people they send the most junior guys the team leader he doesn't even bother to go pick up his radio that would have given him comms with all of the local police
That's mind-blowing to me. It is mind-blowing. I was talking to a former Army Ranger sniper friend of mine, was a sniper in combat, was a team leader. And before I even started telling him kind of the stuff I learned and stuff I knew, he said, well, I mean, a radio is a sniper's most powerful weapon. It's not the gun. That's actually not the sniper's job.
That's like one of seven things a sniper does. Like the most important thing they do is they observe and they record and they communicate. And so this guy who's leading all of the counter snipers who are there, by the way, because there had been a specific long range threat against Trump from a foreign actor that they knew about. That's why they were there.
The guy doesn't even bother to get his radio. And so when Trump is on stage, when you've got all the local cops like setting their hair on fire trying to get this guy who they know has a range finder, he's acting super weird. At one point, you have local law enforcement starting to draw their weapons.
That's something you would think like maybe the Secret Service people on stage or the guys on roofs would want to know about. They had no idea.
So, and they didn't even have a unified command post. They had the Secret Service in one little area, and then they had the local guys over here, and then they had, I think, one or two people who were local in the Secret Service command post, but they didn't actually have a unified command post, which is also bonkers. Yeah.
