Why does the official narrative of the Butler rally shooting seem implausible?
From the moment that a 20-year-old loner somehow managed to shoot Donald Trump in the head at a pivotal moment in the presidential campaign, just before he's about to assume the GOP nomination and formally select his running mate, the official narrative has never made any sense whatsoever. There were only two options. The first option was that the Secret Service was so utterly incompetent and so unbelievably lackadaisical with its security measures that they somehow failed to secure a slightly sloped roof just 150 yards away with direct line of sight to the podium. They just never got around to it, even though they obviously noticed the rooftop during the walkthroughs before the rally. And not only that, the Secret Service didn't bother looking at the roof at any point during the rally, which is how Thomas Crooks was able to get into position without being detected as a significant threat.
As one Butler police officer put it in a conversation captured on body cam, quote, I told them post effing guys over there, why were we not on the roof? Now, if you take this version of events at face value, then you would agree that, unironically, the Secret Service, as an agency, should have been disbanded immediately. Replace them with a random Boy Scout troop if you need to. Give every kid a walkie-talkie and station them on the rooftops. And instantly, for a lot less money, presumably, Donald Trump would have much better protection than he was receiving from his Secret Service detail. The Boy Scouts... Wouldn't have the cool earpieces or the suits, but in all likelihood, they'd be able to spot an assassin visibly running on the roof in plain view of everybody in the crowd.
And we know this because the crowd did notice Thomas Crooks long before he opened fire. The Secret Service supposedly didn't. Now, the other option that's been on the table, of course, is that the Secret Service, for some reason, allowed Thomas Crooks to open fire. And if you start thinking that through, it starts to explain a lot of things. It would explain, for example, why the Secret Service couldn't detect Crooks' drone, even though they had drone detection equipment that conveniently went down while Crooks' drone was in the air. This is one of the elements of the assassination attempt that's rarely discussed, but it should be discussed. The Secret Service actually had a counter drone system at the rally.
But according to the inspector general of DHS, it was, quote, manned by a single under-trained operator who did not test the system prior to the morning of the event. When the system malfunctioned, the operator spent several hours attempting to resolve the issue, during which time Thomas Crooks completed his almost nine-minute drone flight undetected. That's the part of the story you may have heard. What's less well-known is that three days before the rally, the Secret Service agents assigned to protect Trump sent an email to the Secret Service's Technical Security Division requesting an experienced drone operator. Now, the email reads, quote, Good afternoon. Candidate Trump is expected to be exposed for the entirety of his remarks and will be vulnerable to drone threats.
Trump's details requesting the Technical Security Division provide an operator for the day of the event. That was sent on Wednesday, July 10th at 10.23 a.m. And according to the inspector general, quote, we found no evidence that Technical Security Division members who received these requests responded to the email. So, yes, you heard that correctly. They simply didn't respond to the email. And there was a second request, which was actually denied by a member of the Technical Security Division, supposedly because the counter drone operators were busy at the RNC, which was going to take place a couple of days later. And when the inspector general interviewed the leader of the counter drone program at the Technical Security Division, he said that he tries to cover all outdoor venues and said he would have probably done that trip in Butler, but he was never made aware of the request.
