Bombshell new video throws Trump shooter timeline into doubt | 20 Aug 2024 | Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was spotted wandering through merch stalls less than two hours before he wounded the ex-president. Crooks grazed Trump in the right ear as he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, and killed supporter Corey Comperatore in the crowd. Trump was shot at 6:11 pm by the first of eight bullets Crooks fired from the roof of a nearby building until he was gunned down by a Secret Service counter-sniper. Joe Tomko, owner of Iron Clad USA, inadvertently filmed Crooks strolling past his booth outside the rally at 4:26 pm – the earliest known recording of him at the rally. This was exactly the same time a local police sniper texted his colleagues to say he had seen a man, believed to be Crooks, sitting at a picnic table nearby… He had none of the gear he brought to the Butler Farm Show grounds, including the backpack that was found later, along with a bike and rangefinder. Crooks was spotted by police and Secret Service agents several times before the shooting, but not stopped – a major security lapse that is [allegedly] under investigation. Group texts between snipers from Beaver, Butler, and Washington County put Crooks in a different location about the same time as the Iron Clad video.
