I am having trouble seeing red hat guy (Greg Smith is his name) in any of the west side videos. He should stand out like a sore thumb. Where is he? I’m going to have doubts until he is located in a clear position to see both Crooks and the sniper team in the second building as he claimed.
So here’s a challenge for this investigation (and this group);
We need the original high-def versions of the video (and I know there are more that I have not yet seen, so we need those too).
First frame of the video for easy ID:

Cloned a closed window for sure.
One of the things that there is very little information on is this:
How did the rifle get onto the roof?
No photo that I know of (except after he got onto the roof) shows him with a rifle.
So how did the rifle get to the roof?

Good question, no one asked him and he didn’t say, all i think he said was he was at Brenckle’s farm over the road from AGR at a party and they wandered over to under the trees to listen. If he was to the east of building 6 he would’ve needed to be far back past the car park to see Crooks so he was likely to the west on higher ground and where the footage came from.

Look at the looped rope/cord clearly visible hanging within the first window to the right of the exhaust stacks and trace the change of position through Stewart’s video at the segments when his camera was stable. The question I have is, where did it go?
Could an accomplice (spotter, etc) have been operating behind that window?
(I am limited to one embed, but have freeze frames of this window missing the looped cord)
I have captured many strange anomalies/“artifacts” at different attempts to freeze frame the video when the camera wasn’t stable; however the missing looped rope/cord captured when the camera was stable has me “suspicious”. Furthermore, could the video have been tampered with after Stewart’s phone was confiscated?

Another problem with the “total false flag, staged by DJT” hypothesis is the lack of real evidence to support it. Without seeing his ear up close (in person or good photos) all you have is conjecture. Personally, I put this at the bottom of the heap and won’t spend any time or energy on it until all other hypotheses are dead ends.

“The FBI on Monday morning told reporters in a conference call that Crooks accessed the roof of a building owned by American Glass Research (AGR) near Trump’s rally using HVAC equipment and piping.
Crooks then traversed rooftops before he found his shooting position on top of the AGR building, located near the fairgrounds about 150 yards from where the former president spoke at his rally. He had a collapsible AR-15 and a rangefinder with him at the time.”
I am thinking he may have been in on it as well, at least partially, to the degree that he knew an attempt would be made or a scene setup for it. He might have been told that ‘they’ would apprehend the shooter before anything major happens or something of sorts, at least that he would come out of it unharmed or minimally. To ‘the powers that should not be’ however, might have other ideas, be it that it would not matter if Trump lives or dies, they have a follow up plan either way. They win no matter the outcome. And they have a fall guy in Crooks for that. Like someone said, if ‘the powers that would not be’ wanted Trump dead, he would be dead already (by now). This is another kabuki theater. We just don’t get the plot and twists yet and are left to figure it out. At least those who care enough to delve into this and sort it out.
A few things I contemplated were:
- What if Trump got hit in a truly impactful manner or even may have died? What would have followed next. Think along the lines of Biden pulling back and Kamala now pushed as candidate for the presidency and other things related to coming election.
- Crooks as less skilled that he was, how come no one else in the vicinity of Trump got hit, if indeed the aim was to kill Trump. I imagine he would have fired multiple shots in his direction hoping one would stick, leaving others around Trump also hit. However, we find only Trump hit and 3 random people high up in the corners of the stands, two of which seemingly hit by the same bullet.
- What are the chances that such agencies as the secret service etc. would make such errors in judgement and leave so many spots unmanned, do nothing over that amount of time, and take their time to spring into action. And after the fact clean everything up before a thorough assessment is made about the scene etc. Crime scenes can be secured for days, weeks if not months. This one was just minutes to perhaps a few hours and then all was cleared.
- Why was the social media presence of Crooks scrubbed clean? And even more so, how come don’t we see anything from him actively participating in politics etc., like that other guy who has been mentioned as the possible true shooter with his track record around Trump, rallies etc.
- Do we have an explanation for the upward trajectory of the bullets that hit the people in the stands?
At this point no theory seems crazy to me, it’s all speculation and unfortunately hard evidence is just that, hard to come by.

Here is pretty compelling argument from hard data and arithmetic that Crooks did not shoot all of 1-8 from or near where he died on the roof of AGR 6. The argument is based only on the audio file from Trump’s mic, and an assumption that one of shots 4-8 used the same type of bullet as shots 1-3. (Assumption discussed below.)
I estimate the distance between Crooks on the ridge of AGR 6 with the connecting corridor just to his left to be 490 ft, from Google Earth. (See below for how I locate Trump’s stage in GE.) Now, the report in shots 1-3 is .22 seconds, which the equation speed*.22=490 implies speed=2,227 ft/s. This is the speed difference between the sound from the gassy blast at the barrel (1,206 ft/s) and the speed of the bullet that gets recorded at Trump’s mic as it passes by there and creates its own shockwave at the mic. Ok, this implies the bullet was travelling at an average speed of 2,227+1,206=3,433. (This is a bit hot for the usual .223, but perfectly possible; Fiocchi 40gr V-Max starts at 3,650 ft/s; see ballistics here in 2nd column.)
Having established that the bullets 1-3 between AGR 6’s roof near where Crooks died and Trump’s mic traveled at an average speed of ~3,433 ft/s, let’s turn to shots 4-8. Chris measured the report of those to be .213 s, or .007 s less. This implies - if any of rounds 4-8 was of same brand as bullets 1-3 - that Crooks in shots 4-8 was located .007*3,433=24.03 feet closer to Trump than he was in shots 1-3. Now, the time between shot 3 and 4 was 2.783 seconds, per Chris’ video at 7:18. The implication is that Crooks, having shot 1-3, would in 2.783 seconds move ~24 feet closer to Trump, reposition and resight, and shoot again fairly accurately at Trump. (The Crooks-Comperatore line of shot 6 extends almost perfectly to Trump.) This implication is absurd.
It follows logically that the assumption, which led to this absurd implication, must be false: “Crooks shot all of 1-8 and one of rounds 4-8 was of same brand as rounds 1-3”
Up to here the argument is based on hard data, arithmetic, and logic.
It’s conceivable that the report of .213 on shots 4-8 was shorter because one of those rounds was different brand with higher average speed, and not because Crooks moved ~24 feet closer in 2.783 to shoot again. This seems highly unlikely to me, given that mixing rounds would jeopardize in an avoidable and widely known way to even junior shooters, the consistency and accuracy of shots at a moment of maximum stakes - assassinating a former president and leading candidate in a highly secured public area. Mixing rounds is also inconsistent with Crooks’ thoroughness and diligence:
- Cell phone metadata placed him at rally grounds on July 4, one day after rally announced in newspapers and nine days before rally
- He used three encrypted messaging apps
- On day of rally, Crooks flew a drone in morning, cased the site for hours, brought a range finder, managed to evade 50-100 LEOs even after having been pictured and shared about among the 40+ local LEOs
- Shimmied on roof of AGR 6 way down on the roof to evade SS sniper team 2’s view, acquiring Trump as a target by sticking his head up only for intermittent instants
- Even if he received help, he executed well getting on the closest roof to Trump other than the SS barns, protected by trees from SS team 1
In sum, if Crooks was this diligent and thorough for days and hours, why be so sloppy mixing rounds, especially since he is known to have visited and bought rounds that very morning (no shortage!)? (And if Crooks loaded his own rounds, it would be further proof of his diligence and thoroughness, and he’d know not to mix lots.)
Lastly, I justify the above estimate the 490 ft mentioned and used above, as part of the argument. (Whether the distance is 440 ft or ft 490 won’t make a meaningful difference to the argument, which really boils down to .007 seconds in differential report translating to Crooks moving inconceivably far and fast in 2.783 seconds between shots 3 and 4.)
From NYT aerial we see Trump’s stage relative to Crooks’ position of death:
Note that Trump’s stage is in a rectangle defined by access roads, close to the western road, and modestly to the left of the ridge of barn 15. Put that estimate in Google Earth, from the spot where Crooks was found dead:
GE says 490 feet.
I captured many similar “artifacts” throughout countless hours of trying to freeze frame Stewart’s video on my small iPhone 13 mini with a slowly responding touchscreen; however, the change of position and disappearance of the hanging cord must be explained.
Are we to believe that the FBI would return Stewart’s phone “unmolested”?

Here’s another eyewitness at the fence line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPC3xyeTl8o
One more time:
-
The “drone” is in view for three frames traveling from right to left.
-
Therefore it is in frame for 3/30 or 1/10 of a second
-
Assuming it’s a drone it is some distance away from the camera.
-
Even if it’s not that far, it is still traversing a minimum of 50 feet in 1/10 of a second, or 500 feet per second, or 30,000 feet per minute, or ~340 mph.
Conclusion: It’s not a drone.
Also it doesn’t make any noise on the video.
Best guess; it’s an insect out of focus because it’s too close and therefore is only traversing say 3 feet, which would then translate into a more believable speed of 20.4 mph.
So until someone runs the math and makes this into a believable drone speed, it isn’t a drone. That’s red material for now.

What bothers me a lot about all of this is there evidently no autopsy done on the shooter. All we heard is he died of a gunshot to the head. How could they not have done an autopsy?

I have a suggestion. Get the audio from President Trump’s microphone and shorten the interval between the first three shots to match the next five. I did it and to me all eight sound the same. I think the shorter spacing between the five shots covered the echoes of the first three.
Broke it down, both pieces were in the backpack which was on the roof with him, reassembled on the roof?

I’ll try but the faster away you get from the “boom” the more muffled and garbled they get. Eventually, it’s impossible to tell even wildly different guns apart.
The trump mic isn’t as useful for telling the “booms” apart as closer mics.
I think I misinterpreted him as shimming up bldg. He said shimming up roof which I now see he meant belly crawling on top of the roof and shimming up to crest. Sorry for any confusion.

Regarding the 0.007 seconds, I recall someone posting about that stating slight variations in “snap-boom” time gaps (+/= 1.0-1.5%) can occur with cartridges from the same box due to loading variances. That came to mind when reading your post. Not sure if that impacts your analysis or not, but I thought I would mention it.
