Report: Analysis Reveals Third Weapon May Have Been Used In Trump Assassination Attempt

An audio analysis of the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the rally before the shooter was killed.

CNN published results of forensic analysis from Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate from the same location.

This report alleged that three shots were fired by “weapon A,” and the next five were consistent with “weapon B.” Weapon A presumably would have been the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, while weapon B was most likely the Secret Service sniper who returned fire and killed Crooks.

However, the report also alleges that a possible weapon C emitted a final “acoustic impulse,” which may have belonged to a third, previously unknown shooter. 

Analysis has also confirmed the Crooks was between 360 and 393 feet from the podium, CNN reported, citing forensics expert Robert Maher, corroborating with reports that he was on a rooftop approximately 120-130 yards from the former president. 

Maher, a professor of audio forensics at Montana State University, told CNN that the sequence of shots was in a “crack-pop” sequence, before the “arrival of the corresponding muzzle blast sound.”

COVER-UP: FBI Tries to Kick Out Senator Josh Hawley at Assassination Attempt Site Despite Having Local Security Operator’s Permission — “Get Out of Here. You Shouldn’t Be on the Site”

During an explosive interview with Sean Hannity, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley revealed shocking information about the recent assassination attempt on President Trump.

Allegations of incompetence, lack of coordination, and a gross disregard for security protocols have been leveled against the Secret Service and other federal agencies involved in protecting the President.

Sean Hannity: Tell us what these whistleblowers are telling you that is most alarming to you.

Josh Hawley: Well, one thing is that most of the detail assigned to Trump that day, into that rally, were not Secret Service. Most of them were from other federal agencies, including Homeland Security. And, Sean, they weren’t prepared.

They didn’t know what the procedures were. They did not have the site locked down. They were not adequately patrolling the perimeter. As you just said a moment ago, they were leaving huge gaps.

Whistleblowers also tell us that they were allowing people to come into the grounds who weren’t checked. They weren’t monitoring who was getting up around the stage. I mean, it’s unbelievable, Sean.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last weekend.

Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team! They were not even trained Secret Service personnel!

Discovery of Drone Surveillance by Trump’s Shooter Reveals Additional Security Lapses

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter who tried to kill Donald Trump at the rally in Pennsylvania, managed to fly a drone for aerial footage of the site, a few hours before the assassination attempt, the WSJ reports, citing law-enforcement officials familiar with the matter.

Crooks had flown the drone on a programmed flight path several times earlier in the day on July 13, to scour the Butler Farm Show grounds ahead of the event, the officials said. The discovery has raised more serious concerns over the reliability of the security services, the outlet notes.

What else has been revealed?

The use of the drone was just one way in which authorities said Crooks had planned his attack.

The perpetrator came to Trump’s rally with a pair of homemade bombs designed for detonation with remote control.

The authorities also found primitive explosives and a vest with three 30-round magazines in Crooks’ car. This suggests that he probably “wanted to cause greater carnage”, according to the article.

Crooks had also ordered several packages labeled “hazardous materials” to be shipped to his home in the past month. He also conducted online searches for Trump rally dates, and information on Biden and the Democratic National Convention.

On Saturday, a 20-year-old man tried to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally in the state of Pennsylvania, but the bullet from the gunman’s AR assault rifle grazed Trump’s right ear. US Secret Service agents killed the gunman moments after he was able to fire several rounds toward the stage, killing one spectator and critically injuring two others.

ASSASSIN EYE-WITNESS: Police Are Lying about Rooftop Confrontation of Alleged Sniper – “The Guys on the Second Floor Were Watching – But They Didn’t Do Anything!”

Last Saturday, in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump was shot in the ear and narrowly saved from a fatal head wound from an assassin’s bullet. Retired firefighter Corey Comperatore was fatally struck by a bullet, and two other pro-Trump rally-goers were seriously injured.

Over the last week, much of the federal narrative has broken down trying to explain the events. As the sniper’s body was recovered on the roof of the American Glass Research company’s warehouse in Butler, Pennsylvania, within a few days it emerged that snipers were in the second floor overlooking the sniper’s body in an adjoining building.

One often-repeated part of the official story is that a Butler County Sheriff’s Deputy climbed on top of the roof moments prior to the shooting to confront alleged shooter Thomas Crooks, and Crooks responded by pointing a weapon at the Deputy, who then fell off of an eight-foot ladder

Later reports claim that the deputy hurt his ankle and is now walking with a medical boot. Here’s the New York Post repeating that story nationally.

The Left Has Been Trying to Come Up With Wild Conspiracy Theories About the Trump Shooting, but They Are Failing Badly

Ever since the moment that Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the left has been pushing wild conspiracy theories all over the Internet.  Unfortunately for the left, their conspiracy theories are so ridiculous that most rational people immediately see right through them.  Yes, there are legitimate questions that need to be asked about what really happened at that rally, and I have been writing about many of those questions.  But to suggest that the assassination attempt was staged or that Trump was never hit by a bullet is just nuts.

As you will see below, the stuff that the left has been coming up with is straight out of crazy town.

It has been less than a week since Trump was shot, and already “false assassination narratives” have been viewed more than 100 million times on X, and many of those false narratives are being classified as “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories…

So-called ‘BlueAnon’ conspiracy theories — levelled by Left-­wingers — have clearly been thick on the ground this time, compounding the confusion spread by similarly paranoid or just ­trouble-making Trumpites.­

According to research group Institute for Strategic Dialogue, references to false assassination narratives amassed more than 100 million views on X in just 24 hours.

So what are some of the most common “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories that the left has been pushing?

Butler County Sheriff Credits Local Officer for Saving Trump, Fires Back at Critics

As the nation remains in shock following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the local officer who first made contact with shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks is being declared a hero by the sheriff, per the New York Post.

In an interview with the outlet, Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe says that his officer saved Trump’s life and has called online critics “a**holes.” He insisted that the Butler Township police officer’s intervention delayed Crooks’ timing. 

The officer was recruited to assist the Secret Service during the rally on Saturday. 

“Can you imagine 10 seconds before that? That the president was looking straight ahead and where that bullet could have potentially landed,” said Slupe.

Crooks was positioned on the top of a manufacturing plant roof around 130 yards away from the stage where Trump was speaking to thousands of supporters when the officer approached him. Crooks had a clear shot of Trump.

A fellow policeman lifted the officer on the roof and was hanging from the roof when he saw Crooks, who aimed his semi-automatic assault rifle at him. 

“Right now, (the shooter is) training on the president. These guys breach the roof,” Slupe said of the two officers. “So he turns around and potentially eliminates that threat. The officer is like ‘I’m dead or I drop. I drop.’ He turns back around,” he said of the shooter.

Whistleblowers Reveal What Secret Service Said During Briefings Before Trump Assassination Attempt

The United States Secret Service acknowledged it had “limited resources” during briefings held before the July 13 Trump rally in Pennsylvania at which an attempted assassination occurred, according to whistleblower disclosures to the House Judiciary Committee. 

The admitted lack of necessary resources, according to the whistleblowers, was due to the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., that took place before the rally from July 9 through July 11.

“Whistleblowers have disclosed to the Committee that the USSS led two briefings regarding the July 13 campaign rally on July 8, 2024, with the Western Pennsylvania Fusion Center (WPFC) and other stakeholders, to discuss the upcoming, unrelated visits by President Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden,” a July 18 Judiciary Committee letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed. 

“The USSS Special Agent in Charge Tim Burke reportedly told law enforcement partners that the USSS had limited resources that week because the agency was covering the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Washington, D.C.,” the letter continued. “FBI personnel were present at those briefings.”

“While the Committee recognizes that the FBI is one of many agencies represented in the WPFC, it is the lead federal investigative arm and a key source of intelligence on potential threats for special events in its area of responsibility,” the Judiciary Committee emphasized.

PA Trump Rally Shooter Building Reportedly Owned by BlackRock, Managed by Executives from Pfizer

At the Trump Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday, a sniper took aim at President Trump, wounding him, killing retired firefighter Corey Comperatore, and seriously wounding two others MAGA patriots.

The building that the sniper was on, part of a complex that also included other snipers working for federal authorities who have not yet been disclosed, is owned by a company called “American Glass Research.” The building is at 615 Whitestown Road in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The location is currently being guarded by the Pennsylvania State Police, and as of Tuesday they had FBI Agents still on the ground. Which is odd, considering that there wasn’t much evidence to be collected on-site according to the official narrative.

American Glass Research has now been identified as partially-owned by BlackRock investments, and whose Executives are formerly with Pfizer. The company bills itself as “a full service independent research and testing laboratory with expertise in testing, design analysis, analytical testing, consulting, training, inspection, product liability and auditing for the glass container industry.”

Democrats Have A BlueAnon Conspiracy Problem That Dwarfs QAnon

A third of Biden supporters believe the idea that Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Trump was staged and not intended to kill him is credible, according to a Morning Consult poll.

33 percent of polled Biden supporters indicated they were open to believing the troubling conspiracy theory, a higher number than the overall contingent polled. Only 20 percent of total people polled said they found the conspiracy credible.

The majority of voters, 62 percent, found the notion to be unsubstantiated, according to Morning Consult.

The concerning conspiracy theory has earned credibility from mainstream left wing voices like MSNBC’s Joy Reid.

“What is the actual injury to Donald Trump’s ear that’s under that bandage? Shouldn’t we know that by now? It’s weird,” Reid speculated in a Twitter video she posted to her 1.9 million Twitter followers.

“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel, we don’t have those details,” Reid posited.

TIME Changes Front Cover Image Of Trump After Complaints That Iconic Image Is “Free PR”

Time magazine has changed its August cover from the now iconic image of Donald Trump raising his fist after surviving the assassination attempt after leftists complained that the image was helping his popularity.

In place of the image is now a monochrome picture of the evacuated rally site with a US flag in colour and the words “What Unites Us.”

What?

One of those images will go down in history and be used forever. The other simply won’t.

Time had even already written an explanation of why the image of Trump was so special:

One of those photographs, taken by Associated Press photojournalist Evan Vucci, was chosen to appear on the cover of TIME. The historical significance, the clear composition, the undeniable tension, all appearing in a singular image of an event that stunned the world.
