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

You won`t see anything if you are walking around with a blind dog.

In Memory of John Cullen, who whispered, “Is this news?”

This is a little on the graphic side, but it’s also pretty blurry, so not THAT graphic.

Mine also may be blurry, but Copenhaver was shot in the abdomen with Bullet 3, which was less than 10 inches East of the neck of Trump, as DJT began his deck descent:

Go to 23:40 The supervisor of the communications center was none other than the SAIC of the BUFFALO NY office!

That obviously raises questions as to why they wanted a real senior guy in charge of not letting communications pass between locals and secret service people.

I have not read the transcript beyond noticing that his title is redacted (very unusual), and later on, it is pretty much verified that he is an SAIC. He also says he was the only person available. (Yeah right).

Q So there was nothing unusual about being requested to provide assistance for this particular event?
A No.
Q Were you informed about that there was any concern about manpower or logistics, generally, to provide protective services for this event?
A No. It was just, it was at a very busy time. Obviously, that Saturday was the Saturday immediately following the conclusion of the NATO summit, which – the majority of my personnel in the district had been assigned to the NATO summit or other trips.

A – on the day that I left to go to Pittsburgh, it left me one Secret Service agent for the entirety of my district that was not out on travel. I was the last person left.
Q You were the last person.
A Correct. There was one person left. The RAIC at the time in remained back to cover the entire district. Everybody else, on that Friday or that following Saturday, would’ve been traveling home from the NATO summit. So myself and another agent who went to staff the First Lady visit were the last two agents left.

Q So the SAIC of the Pittsburgh office is your counterpart for Pittsburgh?
A Correct.

breaking—2nd shooter caught on police body cam—

Officially released police body cam footage (BWC2-122104) in HD from BTPD shows a newly discovered shot coming through a vent in AGR Building 6—the same location Crooks was firing from—confirming there were at least two shooters.

@cmartenson is vindicated!

Please verify yourself:

Go to the official Butler PA police Dropbox site provided by Lt. Matthew Pearson to find all BTPD Body Cam footage from the Trump shooting:

https://dropbox.com/scl/fo/z2q10wfcgbmu6gp0knctb/AF1pe9N3t5qmxD9DrTbGy3M?rlkey=fdgi2c93cpooyh8q453rc8fxs&e=8&st=j34crhdz&dl=0

Download the BWC2-122104 HD Bodycam video named:

1302_202407131800_BWC2122104-0RATF.mp4

As of today, July 02, 2025 the BWC2-122104 video is still available, and the size is approximately 1.53 GB. Do it as quickly as possible, since this Dropbox page might be closed after this news has been released.

To make sure you have the correct video, and it has not been edited, the Checksum with SHA256 is:

8ea10848e5295ae42b66abd0f58db106b99e94a042d47f311e84f50406799f82

To verify your file has the same checksum, use e.g. DOS command:

certutil -hashfile 1302_202407131800_BWC2122104-0RATF.mp4 SHA256

You should be getting the same number:

8ea10848e5295ae42b66abd0f58db106b99e94a042d47f311e84f50406799f82

Then you are sure that you have the official video.

Once downloaded you can analyze the video frame by frame and you will see the same findings as in the animated GIF file.

I think the above information is sufficient for Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to start an investigation. What do you think?

It would appear that is a flag:

That is just after the third shot. There appears to be something that resembles a head about where you would expect “Crooks’” head.

The person that made the video that you are referring to is the guy with the big hat and we can see him in our body cam video as well:

Does anybody know this guy’s name and where we can download the original HD video? It would be very interesting to get the original. Maybe the first task for Dan Bongino?

There is no doubt Crooks is up on the roof; we even see him in the body cam video as well. The thing that we just found out is that Crooks is not shooting all shots. There is a 2nd shooter in Vent 1.

In this picture Crooks is not visible:

In this picture Crooks head pops up, and the snipers are sleeping!

In this picture you see Crooks head, but the shot is coming from Vent 1:

Probably Crooks will soon start shooting shots 4 – 5 – 6, but we don’t have this on video. The echoes on those shots start making sense as well.

One thing is sure: We have shot 3 on video coming from the second shooter in vent 1!

I think the fact a presidential candidate was shot at is enough to start an investigation.

I don’t doubt Crooks was on AGR6, ~12 yards West of the East edge of the ~47 yard west to east ridge length.
He was a team member who fired no shots.
Also, do you have to be careful saying ‘just after’ shot 3?
If speed of sound was 343 meters/second, sound could be delayed by 1/3 or 0.4 second.
In this 60 frames per second video, I think that’s 20 or 24 frames.

When I was first looking at the video in lower resolution, “Crooks” wasn’t visible at first, not until just after shot 3. But then I realized the video was available at 1980 by 1080 resolution, so I put my monitor in portrait mode and watched it in high res. He’s there all through the video.

No sign of him holding a rifle, though, and the guy taking the video is pretty high up in the middle bleachers, which is to say above the top of AGR 6’s ridge. There’s one still where there appears to be some black to his left AND right, but he’s wearing a medium gray shirt.

Thanks for that dropbox link.
ffprobe says this is 29.97 frames/second, 1080x1920, so bigger pictures than the video I called Driscoll’s.
John McCullough may have helped.

Where is the time stamp?

The shots were fired between 18:11:33 and 18:11:49

According to vegaspatriot’s research tool (Investigative Tools), the time of this video is 12 seconds ahead.

In Dave Stewart’s video, this vent can be seen during shots 4 through 8 and is clearly closed.

The resolution of the bodycam video is simply too low to accept this as evidence.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I doubt they (FBI) will act on this. technically they have it. Their priorities are NOT our priorities…

Maybe because 1-3 came from these vents and then closed.
I would be curious if a sniper nest could be set up there…?

early on, the first 3 shots are different from the 4-8 shots. (echo)

There is a video recording showing that Crook’s rifle ejected a casing on the first shot.

The vent hypothesis was discussed extensively here in the forum almost a year ago.

My opinion is: “crooks” was a patsy to take return fire and pin the attempt as a lone shooter. If he took (any) shots it was most likely later ones.
With FBI scrubbing the videos and evidence, after the fact, new released videos (especially body cams) aren’t convincing.

The “real” assassin would fire the first shot(s). The set up was good, clear shot. you didn’t need crossfire, like JFK.

Snipers play an important role in the SBCT infantry battalion. They give the commander accurate, discriminatory, long-range small-arms fire. The best use of sniper fire is against key targets that other available weapon systems may be unable to destroy due to their range, size, or location; visibility; security and stealth requirements; avoidance of collateral damage; intensity of conflict; or rules of engagement. The techniques snipers use enable them to gather detailed, critical information about the enemy as a secondary role. …The presence of snipers hinders the enemy’s movement, creates confusion and personal fear, disrupts enemy operations and preparations, and compels the enemy to divert forces to deal with the snipers. (See FM 23-10.)

Here’s a CIA OP-ED:

Political Violence Is Part of the American Story. It Is Also Changing. - The New York Times

[point]

In contrast, American political violence today is more likely to be carried out by someone acting alone, in despair and deeply dosed on the steroidal forms of extremism offered by the internet.

This has been the “story” since at least JFK possibly even Arch-Duke Ferdinand.
