So It's Back To First Principles (Part 1)

Hmmm… what about this one? :thinking::

No, we see plenty of Shane in Collins’ dashcam that clearly show it’s not him. Shane is controlling the response activities on the outside of AGR after he arrives, while Kuzak controls the clearing operations inside, according to Shane.

The slide I shared with Shane captures those who went to the west of the SQ200 upon exiting. I’m working on a similar slide for those who went onto the east side of it, though the video evidence is nowhere near as good, which is why I didn’t create a slide for them in the first place. Anyways, I’m hoping to capture all of those who rode in the SQ200.

From what I can tell, Shane is the only BeC member wearing long sleeves. Perhaps if not Shane then this is not a BeC operator, but I also don’t think Huminsky from WRSWAT would wear something other than his black uniform, so I don’t think it’s him either. :thinking:

I first thought the large backpack guy was a different ESU team member all together, and ruled out North Hills SRT, who showed up at 19:41:14, over a half hour later. PSP did not have their SRT team at the rally. It could be someone that came to support the event of their own volition later in the response.

As for Huminsky, I’ve got everyone else who came over in the SQ200 accounted for, so by process of elimination I likely have him identified correctly, despite the different uniform and Sierra call sign. Something is off regarding him, and we’ll figure it sooner or later.

Speaking of call signs, is there anything in your list that might help ID Wagner’s partner?

I figured out my error. That is not Huminsky, it’s Gianvito!

I thought I had Gianvito going towards the east of the SQ200 immediately upon it parking, but he likely circled back around to the west side at a point not captured by video. And to be honest, when I first tried to ID him at that location, I didn’t think he looked like Gianvito. His face looked too thin, and younger. Anyways, that location makes sense for Gianvito as the general location his bodycam was turned on at. See, I knew we would figure it out sooner or later! :crazy_face:

Secret Service reporter Susan Crabtree reports that three different sources say Mr. Trump is going to pick Sean Curran to head the Secret Service.

Also, she had initially listed Nick Menster as the agent that first reached Mr. Trump, but then said that was not correct.

Thanks! We had him as Curran for a long time, based on one of her articles in August 2024 (without a facial ID), and a photo I found of him on the Trump 45 protective detail. I can now remove the “Unconfirmed” from him in our Recognition Tools, based on this post of Susan’s.

Ha! I was going down memory lane and saw this post. I forgot we also had Huminsky’s LinkedIn profile stating he is a sniper. I should have looked at my ID Detail slide for him when I started second guessing myself.

Another update to straighten out the Local Snipers slide. Thanks for helping me get back on the right track, @redranamber.

Glad I could help! And thank you for the updates, again!

I found another piece supporting Huminsky as being the other CS with Shaffer, page 52 Wagner’s testimony, a pair of Ben’s:

Anyone know what role Nick Menster DID have? He is described as being Myosoty Perez’s supervisor on July 13.

This is a different X post than the one I posted above, and is quite different in content. It has a lot of background material I had not seen before.

I think [now I know] I have this unknown ESU operator seen at AGR figured out. My initial thoughts when I read Michel V-Nicol’s testimony about a Butler County medic embedded with their team was that it was Ray McDonald. “Ray McDonald” fit nicely in the redacted name box, so I thought I nailed it However, I just discovered the timing is off.

Recall how I thought the guy’s backpack was special purpose due to holding it’s shape? That’s likely a medic bag similar to this one. They hold their shape due to being so compartmented.

That gives us something to start with, narrowing down a search.

Edit: I found him! This Butler Eagle article included a BuC ESU TEMS team photo.

We should look for their “Team 200” vehicle, too.

Here is a photo of the only option for our unknowm medic. Notice how he rolls up his sleeves!

And look at the backpack he was wearing…”special purpose”!

The article likely names the members, but it’s behind a paywall, even when using the Wayback Machine

Thanks, again! Very interesting to hear about the reassignments.

I plan to dig into the USSS interview transcripts, after I finish my current analysis that I’ve been on for over a month, to place them at the rally. Even when we do, it will only give us limited information about what they did, though the transcripts will almost certainly cover that.

Excellent! I remember that photo of Soler but I don’t recall paying much to attention to the other ones if I even actually saw them at all before. I did come across a hires image of that truck (or at least I think it was that one) in my hunt for our yet unidentified vehicles near the Butler command trailer, I’ll see if I can refind it and share it. I did notice this though, his patch looks remarkably like the WRSWAT patch to me:

And considering that, perhaps this gentleman, K-9 Officer Jeff Toth?:

And perhaps this LinkedIn gives us a possible link to TEMS:

Also found another recent group pic:

He wouldn’t be from Washington County if he’s on Butler County’s ESU team. I think the emblem on his patch is this common EMS emblem used by Butler Ambulance Services. It would make sense that he works in the medical profession, not police.

We’ve come across enough Butler Eagle articles with important info that I figured it worthwhile to finally cross the paywall. Here’s our mystery medic, Mike Crawford (yes, another Crawford!), and perhaps this officer Mike Crawford with connection to TEMS, though his county affiliation (and hairline) makes me wonder:

Also, Nico is pretty clearly his middle name:

I’ll start working on expanding our access to important Eagle articles and sharing them, and feel free to special request articles if you need deeper access.

Great! Thank you for getting that. As for Sgt. Crawford, the hairline definitely rules him out.

I’ll add Soler’s first initial to the Recognition Tools ID.

On a personal note, I recognized the SKED immediately in that photo. I purchased one (orange) for the High Angle/Confined Space Rescue team I managed. We used it in live training exercises, and I can tell you first hand that it’s uncomfortable as hell getting rolled up in one of those and lowered to the ground. You feel like a human burrito!

I find this actually quite fascinating, and I can absolutely imagine feeling exactly like a burrito when secured in one! Thank you for identifying what that was, I was curious as to what may have been inscribed on the side of the bag he was packing it in, but it is clearly a SKED bag!:


Also, here is the full article broken down into a .pdf:

Thanks for the article. Very interesting. It sounds like Crawford does work for an ambulance service, but the article doesn’t name which one.

This photo definitely looks like Crawford at the rally.

Later today I’m finally going to post my current analysis. I’m done with it, and am giving it a proofread before posting.
