Can we trust the FBI to investigate the Secret Service?
hooting: Can we trust the FBI to Investigate the Secret Service? #FBI #SecretService #Assassination TOPLINE Some police officials were aware 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was lurking near a Donald Trump rally earlier this month for more than 90 minutes before he opened fire, text messages obtained by The New York Times suggest—the latest revelation about security problems ahead of the assassination attempt. The Times on Sunday published a series of text messages sent amongst a local police countersniper team, including a warning from one man who was leaving his shift and texted his colleagues at 4:26 p.m. to warn them of a man who'd parked near them and would have seen the team sitting armed inside what was supposed to be a secure building. More than an hour later, another countersniper took a photo of Crooks and told his colleagues Crooks was seen pointing a rangefinder in the direction of the rally, suggesting they tell the Secret Service about his location. Half an hour after that, at 6:11 p.m., Crooks managed to fire shots from the roof of a warehouse connected to the same building the countersnipers who’d been warned about him were inside, without any local law enforcement agents or members of the Secret Service having located him despite his being armed and within 400 feet of the former president.
