Bodycam: Butler SWAT Hit Trump Shooter Before Secret Service Snipers 

Did I see three secrets service officers run back into the tent? The assassin is not in the tent ! But the coffee and donuts are being unguarded !

The fact that a RU-vid channel gives me more in-depth coverage, basically every single day, than any news outlet I've seen for this incident, is wild. Thank you for continuing to talk about this.

It's unjustifiable that the SS and FBI couldn't present this kind of info in the first week after this happened. There's no way they don't have the manpower and ability to sort through the info.

That's pretty badass - standing out in an open field, facing a terrorist sniper who is shooting in your direction, scoring a hit to the guy's rifle, and then continuing to stand there until the bad guy is taken out.

NOTE: The NORTH SS snipers were assigned responsibility of the North, yet they did not have visability of almost half of the AGR roofs. UNBELIEVABLE.

A matter of fire control. The Fed snipers were shooting into friendly positions with no communications from Butlers. The Butler swat sniper had knowledge(direct radio contact) what and where the shooter was. Is no one impressed he shot on shoulder standing?

You deserve some type of award for your coverage of this event, Jeff. I wouldn't know 1/4 of the information I've learned about this without your regular updates. Thank you for all you do!

If the body cam is off by twelve seconds that means that southern sniper team had twelve more seconds to take a shot and didn't. Guy in the grass wasn't in on the crap and did his job. Shout out 👏 to him for acting accordingly.

The lady in the blue running toward the body cam after the shot is a campaign staffer, she was handing out signs to those of us in the stands behind Trump earlier in the day. I’m assuming those in suits running into the tents were also staffers. Idk if this helps clarify anything, but I thought I’d share my perspective and recollection of the event.

The dedication that cop showed holding on to his bottle of water while under fire and still got in his product placement brand name was epic.

I was surprised how well I could hear: "He's got a gun!!!"

i thought Secret Service is supposed to run toward danger not run for cover in a tent. That SWAT officer was the only one to take action.

You gave more truthful info n 20 minutes than the entire mainstream media has in over 3 weeks.

No autopsy, they cremated his body 10 days after the shooting. Extremely strange

Maybe the SWAT officer bent down to retrieve the shell from his rifle shot that wasn't supposed to be made public. Why was the body released so fast to be cremated? Why was the roof cleaned with a hose just hours after the shooting? Who authorized that?

13:30 Just imagine if that SWAT officer was positioned on the roof. No open roof, no shots fired from Crooks, everyone walks away unharmed.

That Swat officer is the BOSS!!!

You only zoomed it for yourself, for us it's just a small window 😂

Crazy how you are doing more work on this then the news stations. Cnn has forgotten all about this

The more we see what went on that day the more we understand what a catastrophic failure the authorities are. The lack of communication is mindblowing

SWAT officer disables gun, Secret Service forced to kill witness.

Well this raises even more questions in my mind. The angle of the person on the ground would be much lower than the angle from the barn. How did the shooter on the ground see him and hit him? That would mean the snipers on the barn had a great view of his whole body. Or a lot more than the man on the ground.

CIA blew the mission. SWAT guy screwed it up for them.

We are never going to know the truth unfortunately.

Jeff, you and Gray are doing stellar work on this. Thank you.

Word has it that body cam officer is still standing behind that metal object.

They have already cremated the body. So no one can study anything. They don't ever do that.

Just incredible we're sitting around speculating about all this at this point. That information should have been released to the public LONG AGO.

Jeff, I love the way that you go frame by frame and detail by detail. Thank you for all of your work and effort. May God be with you and your family.

SWAT officer that took the shot was standing by while the group was going to the gate. He actually bends over and pucks up his brass!.

There is no body of the shooter, it was cremated prematurely.

Secret Service are a disgrace

Your attempt to zoom in is appreciated, but you didn't edit into the video correctly. Do you mind doing this again, but showing the output screen at full screen, rather than the whole video editor screen?

Isn’t it amazing how quickly this whole thing has been memory holed?

Jeff, your investigation and collection of videos are all so outstanding. Thank you so much man.

8:41 You have shots going off and the cop is focused on hydration. Dude doesn't even drop his water bottle.

I would just like to thank you for deviating from your normal content and doing this analysis. It baffles me that traditional news organizations aren't interested in this stuff. Thanks for doing the work and sharing it with us.

1:34 Can we talk about the cop ducking behind the big rig and the suits running in the tent when the shots start?

Jeff, had you been around in Nov. of '63, the notion that Oswald acted entirely alone would never have passed muster.

In the videos where the people are saying “he’s laying down!” You can hear them react to him getting shot. The lady says “ he’s turning this way.” Then you hear the suppressed shot that gets him and you can hear the camera guy say “ohhh.”

Wise men say that extreme technology is indistinguishable from Magic. Similarly, extreme neglect of duty is indistinguishable from complicity with assassins.

All that shooting, and two guys are out for a calm stroll!????

I’m guessing that that’s why the FBI allowed the body to be so quickly released and cremated.

Would they have shot the shooter if he wasn’t compromised by the swat team? They lied about the details, didn’t pickup radios, and didn’t take responsibility for the agr building. Sounds like they were avoiding responsibility and when the shooter was disabled they had no choice but to take him out so he can’t be investigated

Thanks for staying on top of this, I keep coming back to your channel to see the latest updates and footage of the incident.

i still don't understand why no S.S. was on the roof where the assassin was, something really fishy going on !!

Mt question is why isn't Row fired and why is this lady secret service agent still employed and why isn't anyone of his presidential details investigated and fired.

usss: 17 seconds late. Unable to shoot crooks until he stood up. Had high elevation and a flat angle. And only shot him after crooks was already disarmed to Jack Ruby him. Butler Swat: shot him during the 8 round barrage from the ground floor at the weirdest angle possible with roof blocking view of SWAT guy, disabling his rifle. SWAT guy appears to be only running a basic ar15 while USSS has $15,000 rifles that could probably put 5 bullet holes into a dime.

I’m confused because the report claims the buffer tube and stock was shot by the 9th shot fragging into pieces hitting Crooks, but if you look at the body cam of the Beaver PD on the roof (Michelle and 2 other guys), the rifle appears perfectly intact..?

We are still waiting for a press conference from officials and any investigative journalism from the media, but Jeff has done their job, admirably. Spread his videos around.

The "conspiracy" has never been about, "they didn't shoot". At least, not in anything I've been posting- it's that this was INTENTIONAL, and ALLOWED. Scenes are NOT set up like this, to protect presidents, former presidents, nor potential presidents, who's lives are under threat. This wasn't incompetence. Who the hell sets themselves up on a roof, if ANY PART, of ANY HIGHGROUND, where ANY ASSASSIN might shoot from, isn't both visible, and covered by the Secret Service? Who does NOT coordinate with the local police, nor have joint radios to share instant information, nor have DRONES in 2024 America, when talking about THE most "elite" protection forces in existence? NO ONE DOES- not unless they're SETTING UP a situation to ALLOW someone to do, what was done here.

Another channel stated the 9th shot by the SWAT sniper hit Crooks’ rifle shattering part of it, hitting Crooks with shrapnel, and rendering his rifle inoperable. Photos of Crooks’ after the 10th fatal shot show a rifle lying there that looks intact, which part shattered? Not clear exactly what happened…? Thank you for all the analytical vids! 👍👍👍👍👍

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOP AND PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE ON THE STAGE

I found the body language of the cop carrying the AR15 by it's barrel out of the building to lean it on the handrail & then be removed by a Butler cop a bit sus.Whose gun was it?

How is there still no report how often the guy was hit !? There is still zero information ! This is ridiculous

The swat team member who shot first was not USSS. It was Butler Co Swat the “badass” that’s in US House of Rep Clay Higgins report

It’s unbelievable that the local police knew about Crooks having a gun on the roof for 3 minutes or so before he started shooting and not one of them had the foresight to run over towards the stage and alert the secret service to get Trump off of the stage. Those cops should have been able to phone or radio the secret service and let them know. Absolutely no communication between the local law enforcement and the secret service. I blame the secret service for not coordinating with the local police ahead of time to make sure they could communicate with each other throughout the rally. Incompetence!

BTW, those "pines" are Mediterranean Cypress, aka Italian Cypress. You are welcome, lol.

So local police tells ss there should be someone on the roof. Ss declines. They offer drone technology. Ss declines. They shoot the threat. Ss takes the credit. Ss blames the whole “accident” on local police WOW

The kid didnt even hide he was walking around BOLD AS BRASS waiting for a meeting that never happened. They didnt stop him because he needed to be on the roof. THE KID WAS BAIT. ( COME ON MAN ) .

They already cremated the shooter body. What a travesty. What are they hiding?

I'm still perplexed as to why this guy inconspicuously ran across the roof in an upright position, with no consideration that there might be a sniper on the water tower. Yes, he had flown a drone two hours earlier (another perplexing anomaly) scouting out the event layout, but the SS snipers didn't take their positions on the roofs until 10-15 minutes before Trump came out. That guy was on the opposite side of the building in relation to the water tower when he was spotted. Did he just assume there would be no one on the water tower, or, did he know there would be no one on the water tower? For someone that was as smart as people claim he was, why would he assume no one was on the water tower. Seems to me to be the best place a counter sniper team would be located as it had the best overall view of the entire event...and beyond! Allegedly he had been at the site a few weeks before the rally scoping out the site, but how could he know the layout of the stage at that point, and where his best vantage point would be to even consider taking a shot at Trump? And why would the North SS snipers have an obstruction to the exact part of the roof that crooks would take his shot from? How would Crooks know where to position himself on the roof, so as to be obstructed from the North snipers view if they didn't take their positions until minutes before Trump came out? Instead of shooting at Trump, it seems he should have played the lottery instead!

you have the best videos and info on this topic. Great job

Man, the angles don't add up here. Look at where Crooks' body is on roof - about 6ft behind the crest of the roof line - dead from a headshot. i.e., he didn't move when hit. A person standing on the ground 120 yards in front of him could not possibly see Crooks' below the crest line. In other words, he could not siganl affirmation of the kill shot because it wouldn't be possible for him to have seen it. Maybe, he heard through coms he was down, but he didn't see it. Further, "if" he did hear it on coms, it wasn't a SS kill shot then, because they weren't on the same channels.

When he's holding his fist up, he's not acting like a school boy like, "Hell yeah, I got him!!!", that's the "Hold" hand signal.

Why don't we have that SWAT guys camera footage yet? You would think they would want to have that out there...

The south snipers had a great view because of their elevation. Much much better than the swatt shooter on the ground. That doesn't help alleviate conspiracies in fact it makes it look like the SS snipers deliberately waited. They were lined up for a shot before the shooting began. For the moment we assume the sniper on the ground would have been reacting to the first shots and quickly locates the shooter from his terrible view from the ground. But maybe he had heard on the radio there's a guy on the roof and was already looking through his scope for the guy.

How does a SWAT shooter hit Crooks when he was down on the ground and Crooks was lying down on the other side of the roof?

Beaver County ESU is STILL covering for Greg Nicol leaving his post overlooking the roof and then telling everyone Crooks was heading away from the rally

I guess we need to teach telescopic ladder operation in high school, so everyone can avoid embarrassment later in life!

Considering there's shooting going on, those cops and SS seem awfully calm. Don't even drop their waters. Strolling around on a hot summers day. The guy in the gray suit, and his buddy give me the creeps...something sinister about them.

They are running to the tent for protection not because it'll stop bullets but because the vast majority of the time folks don't shoot at what they cant see.

Love your coverage. I only wish you would have made it full screen for us viewers when you did the zoom in. The picture is too small to see what you are analyzing.

Man we can't see anything. Anything at all really, in that tiny little postage stamp size piece of your screen that has the super zoomed in frames of video on it. Why were you showing us your entire video editing screen but not showing us the things we came for, which is the actual footage zoomed in and slowed down?

Gray Hughes is amazing with his video skills- he sees things others overlook….

If he know someone with a gun was on the roof why didnt he tell Trump to get off the stage???

How did the SS Sniper do not see the shooter with a rifle from a high ground position and the SWAT man was able to take the shot from the ground? Just don’t get it.

If you look at Buttler farms on google earth, or google maps, it appears the south SS snipers had a clear view of crooks of 15 to 20 feet past the left edge of the tree, which was obscuring the north SS sniper team. Crooks body and blood stain position was 20 roof panels over from the right side of the AGR building. The SS guys had an elevation advantage of 18.7 feet. The distance was about 553 feet.

This day is a joke!: 1) The SS refuse radios 2) Snipers leave their posts at the critical moment 3) The crime scene is quickly cleaned up 4) Trump is not evacuated 5) I'll stop there, I don't want to be a conspirator!

Never would have guessed we’d be here now but it’s awesome to see how much your channel has grown since the Oceanside condo collapse!

God forbid Barney drops his water bottle.

SWAT, who was lower than the USSS CS teams, was able to see Crooks easier… doesn’t make any sense. Something really odd about that.

I hope the girl in white gets interviewed and her info is released. I would like to know why she was in the secured/rally area yet she is by herself over by the fence looking toward the AGR building

How did the guy in the grey suit and the other guy walk out of the tent so casually? We are trained to anticipate second shooters and secondary devices. How’d they know it was safe? As for the flash in the window, I think those two units that were crashing the fence were pointed towards the AGR buildings with daytime running lights that were reflecting on the windows.

Protection teams broke the cardinal rule of not protecting the high ground. It's not that the sniper teams were positioned bad, it's just that they needed more of them or at least spotters set up on the roofs, water tower, or boom lifts to eliminate the blind spots. One of the first videos even showed a lift dropping after its hydraulic hose was shot.

SWAT officer that took the shot was standing by while the group was going to the gate. He actually bends over and pucks up his brass!

The official recordings not being accurately timed is a disgrace. Especially since these are used for forensic analyses. Make radio-controlled clocks the standard, dammit!

Body cams without the correct time stamp? What is even the point? That's kind of a joke.

Why are we not being told ANY of this by the authorities? There's a suspicious lack of curiosity from everyone involved when it comes to getting answers. Unfortunately for them though, it seems they didn't factor in the tenacity of independent journalists and regular concerned citizens online when it comes to learning the truth of what really happened that day. From people who actually give a damn. There should've been DAILY press updates from that incompetent woman USSS Director Cheetle on the progress of the investigation and then carried on by her successor once she was replaced. Yet there is nothing. They just destroy all the evidence and keep quiet. Very suspicious.

BIG thank you Jeff!

It is impossible now to explain why the SS took 16 seconds to fire when Butler Swat was 30 feet below the counter sniper team and managed a firing window and a shot in six seconds.

The "Bald Guy in the Grey Suit" near the tent is the Director in Charge of the Secret Service of the Butler Pensylvannia field office. The Bald Guy in the Grey Suit is the person that gave the Green Light for the "Pacman Peremiter" leaving the ARG building unsecure so the shooter can climb up the roof.

Jeffostroff, you are doing a service to the country and the world by continuing to provide analysis of evidence. I saw something earlier by Gray Hughes Investigates. Sound analysis by Mike Bell is very well done. Hopefully you all are keeping up with each other because independent inquiry with a group with your talents is priceless.

The question is whether the kill shot was necessary if the shooter was already disable some seconds earlier. A conspiracy theorist might conclude someone didn't want him captured alive. Shades of Oswald Ruby? Naw ridiculous.

That 12-second adjustment makes a BIG difference! Jeff, your content and analysis are my fave. Also you have a great voice!

The diagrams you’re showing and the narration you’re providing still maintain that the Hercules 1 south team took the kill shot, but Trump said in his X Spaces interview with Elon Musk that the counter-sniper that took the kill shot was a 23 year veteran and was 400 yards away from Crooks - are you correct or is Donald Trump?

Thanks Jeff! Excellent reporting!

Jeff, are you aware that you zoom-in of the girl & the SWAT officer, that all you're doing is showing us your computer set up, and not actually zooming-in for us? I'm on my phone, and your intended "zooming-in" was absolutely wasted. Can you please do a short zoom-in video where you're giving us a *full-screen* view of your zooming in, and not a view of your computer set-up? Thanks, in appreciation.

Gray Hughes made a good point that the OFFICER whose body cam footage we are watching SHOULD HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SOMEONE in SS to get Trump off the STAGE after hearing the radio calls of MAN ON ROOF. Instead this officer said, Stay Low Bro...something is up

Uh, I SAW no one in your video take any shots. The out riggers were in the way in EVERY shot. Give it up, you don't have it.
