On July 30, 2024, over two weeks after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said the agency still does not know how the would-be alleged assassin got a rifle onto the roof from which he fired.
Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) asked Abbate if the agency knew how the 20-year-old would-be assassin was able to get the rifle onto the roof. Abbate responded, “We don’t have definitive evidence yet as to how he got the rifle up there. Based on everything that’s been collected thus far — photos, video, eyewitness accounts — we do believe he likely had it in the backpack.”

Well just ask anyone else in the country. He obviously was allowed to get to the roof because the FBI was in on it. duh.

Just a reminder........
July 23, 2024
"Ronald Rowe, the Secret Service’s second-ranking official, will take over as acting director, the Department of Homeland Security said. Rowe, a 24-year veteran of the agency, was appointed deputy director in April 2023, with responsibility for the agency’s daily investigative and protective operations."

In the backpack? How? Did he disassemble it and then reassemble it in plain view on the roof? Was he watched while he did this?
Did he pre-position the weapon on the roof, and nobody saw it there?
If I were on one of these security details, at this point I'd video the entire event, every second of every thing that I saw, just to ensure that I didn't end up being the fall guy. In this case, I don't know who the fall guy will be, but I'm sure there will be one, and he or she won't be able to disprove the accusations made against them.

The FBI is still unsure Trump was hit by a bullet.

Well, it's a good thing he didn't do anything radical, like say for instance, stroll through the Capital after having the doors opened for him. Then the Feds would really get to the bottom of his dangerous and subversive activities.

That is just one of a huge list of things that no one seems to know anything about. For example, if this guy was the sharpshooting champion of West Pennsylvania, how did other people get shot that were nowhere close to Trump.

I hear no discussion of the "dead zone" behind the building he fired from, and between two enclosed hallways between that building and the one behind it. Climb over one of the hallways, drop down inside and you have four walls around you. I estimate it is 15 feet wide and maybe 20-30 feet long. Can't tell from here if there are any windows that look out into this area. Even if there are, there are probably blind corners in that area where he could hide the rifle, and himself. Immune to discovery by people walking around the outside of the building, who may very easily not know that this 'dead zone' exists.
Then, pop up onto one hallway roof, climb the shorter distance to the roof that he fired from, lay flat and
stay below the ridgeline until ready to shoot. ONLY visible from the area near the parking lot off the end of the building.....away from the main parking lot, maybe 100 yards or more away. Cops close to the building could not see him from about 80% of the angles available....only from that narrow area.

Not sure or they wouldn't admit it?

Re #9, no ladder used. There were AC units near the one hallway and from the photos I've seen, looks like you could climb up the AC unit, onto the low hallway roof without a lot of difficulty. The peak of that roof looks to be about 4 or so feet from the edge of the main roof. Stepping stones....effectively. And there are various pipes and ducts on the outside, since I haven't been there, can't be more specific, but looks like enough stuff to climb on.
And he's a 20 year old male, and skinny....light and easier for them to climb.

1. On that day, there was a BBC interview with the guy who was wearing the hat 'with hair' who said he and friends watched a guy 'bear crawling' up the wall with a gun. They were by the trees by the building. 2. From what I read, gun could be dis-assembled and stored in backpack. 3. I don't remember seeing a backpack on the roof near the shooter. I just watched a video on the Treehouse with some one (Cullen who they said found out a lot about the Las Vegas shootings) who said the second the shooter raised his head over the roof he was history. It is getting more and more confusing.

One of the first videos, of the people that had seen him and were trying to warn the cops, said they saw him on one buildings roof, then moveing to another buildings roof.
The video released yesterday showed at least a dozen local cops flooding the zone, some with guns drawn, surrounding the building, trying to spot him up there...while Trump was on stage, speaking. No way to warn SS, or at least no call that was answered. SS skipped the AM meeting with the locals teams, didn't give them a coms access point, or even a direct point person for contact.
Trumps regular team had badly needed(and well deserved) days off...the SS Team staffing the event was junior members from the Pittsburgh office, MOST of the higher ranking, more experienced Pittsburgh office folks were dispatched to Jill's protection detail...one SS agent said she had 30 agents tasked to her detail, including 3 sniper teams. For a fairly small gathering inside a casino convention hall, that already HAS robust security inhouse.

Maybe somebody put it there for him. As days go by it's looking more and more like an inside job. Nobody could be this incompetent.

Why didn't they just ask the people outside the venue waiting to hear Trump. They spotted the gunman climbing the building at least 15 minutes before shots were fired and were yelling at the police about it.

Easy. He waited until the SS agents started looking for their way cool sunglasses and then walked right by them.
