(When CNN decided the live broadcasting.)
Answer B: How do we know sure it was really CNN?

The contradictory evidence is Copenhaver telling a different a story, to his attorney. Regarding which Audio bullitt him in the bleachers.
Over christmas i have been studying 2 new videos. Another shooter [cameraman] close to Donald Trump podium] fired 2 silent shots, and one of these shots hit Trump`s ear. I have managed to debunk this.
One video, there is evidence, 2 silent shots, can be heard around the podium]. I have spent hours frame by frame, slowing this video down looking for evidence.
This video does not show the shooter firing the 2 shots, however i have managed to find the 2 bullitts, both passed Donald Trumps head at the same time as Audio shot 1. [I have taken still images from the video]
Unfortunately, the video does not show where the bullitts went, what i can tell you, they went in the direction to the right of Trumps Podium, possibly in the bleachers where Cory was].
Unfortunately, i was unable to capture the bullitt hitting Trump`s ear. I am going to slow down the video even more to try to capture it.
I am now 99% certain, the Audio first shot hit trump`s ear, then Copenhaver. Regardless what copenhaver or his attorney says.
Sorry, i forgot to mention, when the 2 silent shots passed Trumps left ear, the video shows Trumps hand on his right ear. Showing 1 Audio shot, and 2 silent shots fired simultaneously. Thats right, more proof there was more than 1 shooter.
Rob Banks, I agree with that: Supersonic Shot 1 hit Trump’s ear, then Copenhaver’s arm, and then went over the rail, into the black vinyl trailer cover.
But also, Shot 3 hit Copenhaver’s abdomen, & is still inside him.
Comperatore was hit with Supersonic Shot 6, because the supersonic snap never reached the podium microphone.
Amazing to me is that, 24 weeks after, no one is able to say that “shot 1 hit Trump’s ear and Copenhaver’s arm.”
It’s a real problem for ‘them’, because they need Shot 1, for it’s impossible path, through the body of the guy in the corner, to the rail top, in the corner, behind the corner guy’s back.
That footage is too shaky, I “zoom” on testimony records now.
btps patrol 2 - Kuss - excerpt
(Welll, I had to read several pages to identify him.)
Q: And how long have you been in your present role?
A: Since I started. 18 years.
Q: And what are your daily responsibilities in your current role?
A: Patrol.Q: And were you involved in any advanced planning prior to July 13?
A: No, I was not.I’m familiar with the Farm Show grounds.
I was never part of the advanced planning program or conversations.The initial operation briefing for me was at 9:30 that morning, approximately.
We went over the details of that. I was assigned my post, which was at Whitestown Road and Meridian Road, and by roughly 10:00 in the morning, I was stationary at Whitestown Road and Meridian Road.I mean, the Operation Plan broke down that our duty was to do traffic control to get motorcade in and out safely, shut down the roadways, and we were given assignments. Different officers were given different intersections to maintain and stay at.
Q: And who was present at the briefing?
A: It would be Sergeant . I believe Detective might have been there. Some people work night turn into daylight. Probably Patrolman . That’s all that can come to my head right now.
There were, I believe, five of us, plus a lieutenant.Q: Was there any information about any known or suspected threats toward former President Trump discussed during the briefing?
A: No.Q: Was any information shared with you regarding how a potential shooter should be handled or how responsibility would be split up?
A: No.Q: At any point on July 13, was there any information shared with you by the Secret Service regarding communications with the agency if you saw something suspicious?
A: No.Q: Or if you needed to alert them of something?
A: I had no interaction with Secret Service at all that day.Q: So it’s fair to state that the Secret Service did not provide you with any information about how to handle suspicious persons?
A: Correct.
Q: what was your assignment for that day?
A: Traffic detail at the intersection of Meridian Road and Whitestown Road. I was to make sure the motorcade got through.Q: I’ll ask you, with this pen, if you can mark, , your location on the map you were just provided.
A: I can (indicating).For the detail, there was an officer at the entrance of the Brady Paul Lodge Lane, which goes in the back entrance of the Farm Show.
Then there was an officer sitting at Buttercup Road off of Meridian Road to help with traffic.
And there was another Butler Township officer at Route 68 and Whitestown Road, and when the motorcade came in, officers responded to Greenwood Drive and South Benbrook to shut down traffic.Shortly, I guess, at or prior to Trump arriving, I lost all service with T-Mobile. So it was radio for me.
Q: Sir, did you ever receive any pictures of the eventual shooter via text or e-mail on July 13?
A: I did not.Q: Did you, yourself, sir, send, either via tech or e-mail, any pictures of the eventual shooter to anyone on July 13?
A: I did not.Q: Did the Secret Service or anyone else from law enforcement advise you to watch for drones?
A: Yes.
Q: Who?
A: Lieutenant during our briefing.
Q: Did you see any drones flying during the day of the rally, sir?
A: I did not.
Well, I believe a drone went up in the evening.
but that was after the rally was – during the investigation.Q: So moving to suspicious individuals, sir, do you recall how many descriptions of suspicious individuals were communicated to you on July 13?
A: One.
A: I believe in my timeline I have at 1754 hours I was made suspicious of a male wearing a gray tee shirt and khaki shorts and possibly had a range finder.
It came over OPS 3, I believe.
Q: Sir, if you could please mark with an X where you were located when you first heard about a suspicious person near the campaign rally location.
A: It’s not on here.
Q: It’s not on here? Okay, sir.
A: I’m trying to find it.Q: Sir, are you aware of who was then tracking Mr. Crooks?
A: I wasn’t.A: I believe that Officer was stationed with me at that intersection. Prior to updates, he left to start – he started walking up towards the AGR building. I think that was the last time someone seen the individual.
Sergeant showed up at my location briefly after that who had a photo. To the best of my recollection, Sergeant showed me a photo of Mr. Crooks.
At that point there was another radio transmission. They were looking for him at the AGR building. Sergeant departed. He was in a patrol unit, in a patrol vehicle.
He left and drove towards the AGR building, which would have been northwest of my location, and I started walking in the area where I was posted.
(Vensel?)
Then another radio transmission came that they last seen him walking towards Sheetz by the AGR building, which would have been towards where my location was.
So at that point I started – between my intersection to southwest, say, there’s a treeline. So I started searching that area.Q: That you had radioed. Were there two officers and whether the suspicious individual had been detained?
A: You’re asking that question off the radio log information you obtained?
Q: Yes.A: I did briefly look at that radio log. To the best of my recollection, I was still near the intersection of Meridian Road and Whitestown.
What I thought I transmitted over the radio was does the Secret Service want this individual detained. Reading the log, it did notreflect on what I thought I said on the radio.
(Gotcha! He is Kuss.)
Q: Thank you, sir. And it’s our understanding that at approximately 6:06 p.m., you started heading into the woods behind the cruiser.
A: I’m off the map.Q: Thank you, sir.
And if you could specify again, do you know what time you left your post?A: When I radioed if the Secret Service wanted that individual detained, it would have been when I was starting to walk into the woods, up towards the woods, and then briefly when I started leaving my area.
(Ok, we need to check the audio records. Witness stated the logtext was not correct.)
p32
++
(Just an important subtle thing. He did not mention my two ghosts. I still beleive they might be PSP undercover cops. Were any other PSP officers at the area?)
Q: And, sir, did you see any other law enforcement or Secret Service head towards the AGR building when you did?
A: I was isolated by trees. It was only myself in the area.Q: And were other officers also seeking to locate this suspicious person?
A: Two that I know of, yes, at that point.
Q: How many people did you see by the AGR building when you arrived?
A: When I got into the area of the AGR building when I hit the parking lot, three on my side.
(By the 3 cars in tha east parking lot I guess.)

BTPD patrol 3 - Tedeski?
A: We talked about it. After a short conversation, I went back down Meridian Road. There’s a water tower somewhere over there. We drove back to the water tower just to see if I could see him. There was a trooper sitting there. (I couldn’t see the trooper sitting there from where we were on Brady Paul Lane.)
Q: And that trooper was state police?
A: Yes. It was a state trooper in a marked unit. We just couldn’t see him. I didn’t know he was there.I said something to the trooper about,
“Hey, there’s a guy.” I gave a description. I can’t give the description off the top of my head right now.
“There was a description of this man. Have you seen him?” He’s like no, he didn’t see him either.
Q: So do you keep driving south on Meridian after talking with the state police trooper?
A: I go back out to Meridian Road, and I again stop and talk to and Secret Service because they’re still talking about this.
So I then drove south on Meridian Road to see if I could find him.So I went south. I think at Buttercup I made a right, came back out Grist, and then went back on 68, which would have been right by AGR.
There was a report of the same individual between AGR and going towards Sheetz.Q: So you hear that the suspicious individual is going towards Sheetz. So you cut in and you follow that direction?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you describe the next steps that you took?
A: Well, I believe before I got there – well, we pull in, come around. So one of the snipers comes out. I believe it was from Beaver County because I did not recognize him. I don’t know who he was. I know he was one of the snipers from the ESU team, but I did not recognize him.He said, “Well, the guy went that” – kind of pointed, and he pointed back towards the building, and if you’ve been around the building, you know how confusing the building is with how the cuts and – it’s really extremely confusing, and I did not know that you couldn’t go from, like, one side to the other side the way those warehouses are kind of stacked in there.
So he said he went that way. So I looked, and as I drove by, I was like, “Where did he go?” Because I wasn’t sure, to be honest.
So I started back around the building. The other side, when I was on the other side of the building, Patrolman [Kuss], I can hear him saying somebody was on the roof.
After he said somebody was on the roof, I turned around and started back towards where his location was, assuming that I could see him from there, where Patrolman was, because he was coming up that way.
Q: Just to back up a step, around the time that you hear that there’s a suspicious individual that’s cutting towards Sheetz and you cut in, you meet a ESU sniper. You don’t know what sniper they’re affiliated with, what group they’re affiliated with, but is that interaction like in person?
Are you in your patrol car at that point?
A: I’m in my patrol car. He comes out and yells to us and said, “He went this way.”
So it was in person. I’m in a patrol car. I didn’t get out.
“to us”
Q: Okay. And then you encounter Officer . Are you also in the patrol car then?
A: I don’t encounter [Kuss]. I hear him on the radio.
Q: Had you seen the suspicious individual at any point with your own eyes?
A: Mr. Crooks?
Q: Yes.
A: Earlier that day I did see him, and the only reason I know that is because he has such arecognizable face. But I do not remember where I seen him at.
I remember seeing a picture of him, like I seen here today, just because his face is that recognizable.
Q: So you’ve heard – you had spoken with the ESU sniper. You’ve heard Officer over the radio.
Can you describe your next actions?
A: He described the guy on the roof.
I came back around to the parking lot where I originally seen the sniper, and everybody came pulling in, starting to kind of surround the building.
Patrolman said, you know, “We’re gonna have to get on the roof.”
So however – where was, I have no idea. Me and him get together. I don’t even know how they got there.
And I push him onto – like lift him onto the roof.
He puts his foot between my two hands and I lift him up the best I can because there are no ladders.I try to get him up to the roof. He’s kind of on the side, however he is up there.
He comes back down screaming, “THERE’S AN AR! AN AR! A GUY WITH AN AR!”
He comes down, kind of, onto me and rolls his ankle, and we back up, drop down, obviously.
A: The shots?
Q: Yeah.
A: Well, you could hear shots going out, and you heard one come in. Well, I didn’t hear the two come in. I only heard the one come in that was loud, and we all kind of – I knew that was a hit from the way everybody else was saying that you could hear it hit the building or hit him or the building.

It gets more or less clear. (Or more less.)
So, two police cars pulled together? (More or less together.)
One cop was Tedeski.
- We drove back to the water tower
- we pull in
- yells to us
Was there someone else in the patrol car?

It appears you’re working to try to pin an identity to each of our transcripts? Very nice, I’ve had the same idea and though I haven’t gone very far with it yet, for comparison/verification these are what I’ve come up with so far:

Excellent! As I move forward with it I’ll see if I can document what leads me to each conclusion to make it easier to either verify or refute.
I’m still going through different things trying to pin down Sasse vs Vensel on the West side. No solid conclusion yet. But I did find a guy on a bike, with a backpack! We even get both bikes in the same frame! From Piper Grimley footage, right at the start:

I’ve just finished reading Tyler’s testimony. No excerpt I made.
Just quickly what I can remember.
He worked before at Pittsberg 2 and Penn Township.
He was alone in his car, all other traffic control cops were in pair.
He met the state trooper twice that day. First they pushed a broken down car away from the road, and second at the water tower.
He did not meet the special agent. No contact with rally goers.
He was at the bike, when the SQAD requested photos of remote control device.
The Lieutenant asked him to help clering AGR. Then he went to the hospital about his ankle.
He heard about an individual to be detained. After a while it not happened he decided to go and help them. He and the state trooper both were able to see the individual runnin on the roof. He didn’t see his backpack from his car. He thought someone try to escape from police and he went to the south side, assuming the kid will jump down and he can catch him. Then he was hoisted up and saw the rifle and the ammo. The kid looked at him very surprised.
Anyway, it is an iteresting reading.

Just remember that a bullet from an AR-15 travels between 2800 and 3200 feet per second. Doug Mills of the NY Times was able to capture one of the bullets using a very unusual (and highly suspicious) 1/8000 second shutter speed. Even so, what we see is a long streak, and since he was shooting 30 shots per second, it was a lucky break for him that he caught a streak at all.
I don’t know how long the sensor on a typical camera phone is open, but if it were open for 1/60 of a second, that bullet going 3000 feet per second would travel 50 feet. Even a subsonic round going 1000 fps will travel 16.7 feet in that time span. It’s not going to show up.

For the remaining ones, I would be able to recognize only Wittlinger.
But right now we need Sasse and Vensel.

So, would post 4 be the 4th upright along the fenceline?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear we’ve got interviews with either of them. They would be BTPD and we’ve run that list out… Still, ID’ing each of these will make for easier analysis in the future, so I’ll keep at it!
I think we’ve got a Bicehouse transcript here:

While we’re at it, talking about these redacted documents, @vegaspatriot I’ve been trying to find your post detailing your approach to doing text overlay, little luck so far, but would you happen to know offhand the font type and size for the task force transcripts?
Edit: Lol. Ofc I say that and then find it…

That was for the HSGAC transcripts. Calibri, 12 pt., no character spacing, appears to fit well for the Task Force trabscripts.
Edit: It works for now, anyways, and a 0.1 change in character spacing throws it off.
