Trump rally shooter flew drone over rally site | LiveNOW from FOX 

Who believes a word that comes out of the FBI mouth 😢😢😢.

The incompetency grows worse and worse with every bit of news released. Why hasn't the head of the secret service get fired yet?

Stop showing the shooter as a kid! Show us the latest picture

Secret Service is a Joke ,People saw this creep and he still got away with it

Crooks has a drone. USSS did not. Crooks had a ladder. Cops had to stand on each other. Crooks knew the best spot to shoot from USSS had no clue. There was only one Crooks. There was a whole crew of security, and he outsmarted them. Didn't take much.

Why do they continue to show a childhood photograph of the shooter, rather than one of him as an adult?

Are they looking to find out what happened and who was involved or are they looking to cover it up? I’m of the opinion that they will cover it up.

This 20yo who lived in nowhere PA, who worked in the cafeteria of a nursing home, also had 3 offshore encrypted accounts.Who was he communicating with ? Was he expecting a big payday ? Very strange that Secret Service chose to leave that roof unoccupied, which apparently they never do, on the very day a shooter tries to assassinate Trump…..From that very same roof top.! What are the odds ?

Volume of intelligence? How about rallygoers saying: There's a guy on the roof with a gun!! That's the biggest tell-tale sign of all when no-one did anything.

Oooh boy! The FBI is investigating. 🙄

It doesn't matter why crooks did it, the thing is once again he was seen there from agent, police, and others. What's the going around circles??????😮

He was more trained than the secret service agents and local law enforcement.. WOW

I want to know if the command communication was recorded (like a 911 line) and exactly what was said and when.

The secret service missed a 9 oclock meeting with local. police?

Acted alone??? Sure

FBI director needs to go- Grossly incompetent.

No more Biden Trump debates. Guess who threw in the towel.

Maybe strook got paid to do this from a friend in Blackrock and wire money to off shore accounts.

Strook was moving all around the area, to. Be. Seen. Patsy.

Letting the FBI investigate this is like letting the fox guard the hen house!! An independent agency needs to be appointed!!!

If there was an issue with this child why would the father let the kid take his rifle the father should be charged

What about the shooter on the water tower and the SUV with government plates that was on the ground waiting for them??

He didn't do all of that alone..😮

We all need to pray for our President Trump and his family daily.

"intense scrutiny" lol that's for sure

How did the people whose job it is to watch this stuff not see the guy slowly climbing one of the only buildings but the audience on the ground did? Did they not have radios? Why did they stand him back up in the same spot without covering him? Incompetency or something else?

Quit showing this kid's face, He's dead. he's not on the run and everybody's looking for him. Why give him the time of day? You are just advertising celebrity status to others.

HEY let's bring on a "former" FBI guy with terrible audio. That'd be great

Didn't they set a no-fly zone around the whole area before AND during the event (rally)❓️

Yeah, can we get somebody other than the FBI?

Imagine if it had been a mean tweet.

Who else received or was receiving in real time the live feed from that Drone?

I couldn't see I had sunglasses... KAREN " secret service."

It was Homeland Security not SS

Even if everyone agrees on the failure of Secret Service many questions remains unanswered, where the Secret Service boss is just dodging & ducking all questions. For example, did Crooks use a 5 foot ladder or not, and if so, where? Why didn't the police/Secret Service have access to any ladder? Did 2, 3, 5, 7 of the 7-8 shots heard (3+4 or 5 shots) come from Crooks? Secret Service's snipers only need 1 shot so maybe the 4-5 last shots didn't come from Secret Service? Director Cheatle didn't even know how many shell casings there were from Crooks rifle. Why only 22 (out of more than 8000 employees) - whereof an undisclosed amount of temporary/inexperienced agents - from Secret Service at an event with ten thousands of participants, protecting the person who lives under the probably biggest threat in the world? Why don't director Cheatle want to reveal that there were 22 agents and why did she repeatedly claim that there was enough people to protect Trump? Especially strange considering the extended threat to Trump from Iran (where Biden let thousands of illegal Iranians into US thru the Mexican border). Was Butler, Pa. commissioner truthful when he claimed that USSS lied and that all of the police only were there for traffic duty? Why was Trump denied requests for more security, and who denied this? Why didn't FBI add resources? Whatabout the Democrats who wanted to take away Trump's Secret Service protection completely, just weeks before the assassination attempt? Why were Secret Service and the police on different radio frequencies? Is that standard, and if so why? Why wasn't the radio communication recorded at the event? Director Cheatle says it's recorded otherwise. Secret Service knew about the threat more than 1 hour before Crooks started shooting. Why did Secret Service let Trump speak in spite of that they knew about Crooks even before Trump went on the stage? Why wasn't Crooks investigated by USSS when he was considered to be a suspicious subject (not even at 5:30 or 5:52)? Seems like Secret Service had Crooks in the crosshairs already 19 minutes before Crooks started shooting. Why did the Secret Service's snipers have their weapons directed towards Crooks for so long (19 minutes) without shooting? Why did they let Trump continue to speak? Why were there no counter sniper team in the water tower (most elevated position)? When was the last sweep of the roof where Crooks was shooting from, and the area around it? Why did Secret Service let Crooks run a drone over the area (even more than 1 time)? Why didn't USSS have any drones (or chopper)? Why did the police have to tear down the fence and drive thru a gate to be able to get to the building where Crooks was on the roof? When & why did Thomas Crooks father call the police, worried about what his son would do, how did that conversation go and did USSS search for this info? Who approved the security plan? Who was the site command/site supervisor? Seems like there was a planning problem, a coordination problem and a supervision problem. Exactly who signed off on the security plan? Where's the accountability? Nobody has been disciplined and everybody who failed their mission are still active and can continue to put presidents and others at risk for another 60 days or more, during a presidential campaign. Nobody has been fired or even suspended. Why was 'The Beast' not parked immediately adjacent to the stage (with a secure distance to the public) to facilitate a fast exit for Trump? Why did the USSS boss Kimberly Cheatle (one of many Trump-haters & Jill Biden's favorite) lie about the slope on the building, and about who were in the building ('local police') with Crooks on the roof. Director Cheatle had no answers during the hearing 9 days after the assassination attempt. Director Cheatle knew just about nothing, not even that it was 130-140 yards between Crooks & Trump. Transparency from USSS is close to none.

I can tell you right now as a licensed drone pilot that he certainly did not. When Trump visited my town last year. My commercial drone would not lift off. He would have had to apply for authorization.

Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Why hasn’t anybody talked or report about the ejected shells from Crook's rifle? According to the sound analyst, Crooks should only have three shell casings that should be on or very close to the building he was perched on. There were at least 6+ shots. How many shells were left in the box of 50? Crooks shot his rifle from on top of the metal roof. The shells can't go that far away from where he was shooting. I wish the experts would answer these questions. Were all the shell casings or the bullets that were fired recovered?

So why didn't they know the drone was falling over. It's like China can fly in our airspace

Sounds like the people driving the getaway car pleading innocent because they they didn't do the actual robbery.

His motivation does not excuse the secret service so blatantly droppingbthe ball.

I saw the drone and I looked away.

Do we have the independent investigators?

This WHOLE situation is ,,shady,, at best!! Through 3 security stations, walking straight to a ladder 120 meters away FROM Donald, walking around with a rifle with 10 000s of people first,unpacking and setting the rifle up, aiming in phrone position for minutes with GROUPS reacting and pointing , shot emidietly as he WERE in scope,,waiting,,.. It's at LEAST about 50 shades of gray this whole ordeal 😮. Every place he walks and speaks is long in advance made SURE that all perimeters 360° can't be occupied by an alien individual. And it's the only other roof ALSO 140 meters away from the SUPER trained security sniper team, MUST see , hear the ruckus from all the witnesses? And how then NOT seeing a person lying with rifle minutes on the only other roof ON the same level as the S.Service? Absolutely not ONLY a mistake!! Do anyone ACTUALLY buying this!!? Find out who, why etc. Boy is dead!! Think other treats WITHIN, should come before a ,motiv,.. .. Crazy

MOTIVE? It could be that he just didn't like trump.

Is there a way of showing a current photo of the shooter?

Motive? The kid was suffering from mental sickness! Hello! His dad should be in jail. Your guns need to be locked up!

Anti drone tech ? Lol I’m a commercial drone pilot and both that and the restricted airspace comments are ridiculous. Sure if you’re LAW ABIDING but news flash, would be assassins aren’t law abiding. Any of my drones can be (illegally) flown anywhere without being detected or tracked except visually. So that’s BS.

The so-called security should've been FIRED! Common sense what tell you to check everywhere over & over, while a President is coming out & on stage!!😡

Oh God! This keeps getting worse! The shear level of incompetence is unfathomable.

They were all involved and let it happen, probably really mad it didn't work..

I just watched the video of Kim Cheatle getting interviewed by Marjorie Greene in court. She got blasted by Marjorie. She couldn't answer any questions.

The FBI lady didn't flinch while bullets were flying around , she sat there filming it all !!! She was in on it for sure !!!

Why does all MSM keep showing his freshmen high school photo!!!!????

Yeah, Right!!!! But not the young boy in the picture. Anyone who thinks one lone boy can out smart the SS, NEEDS TO WAKE UP.

20 years old goofy boy could do all this outsmarting the most experienced and world famous secret service agency is mind boggling

This is unacceptable. The FBI or the DHS should not go anywhere near this case. We can't keep going on like this as if it's business as usual

She should be fired

Clusterfurk.

For me the big question is..... If this was all due to incompetence and error, it still doesn't explain how C rooks knew he could get on, up and set-up on the roof without being stopped and/or shot. Even if he had a drone (which I personally find hard to believe), and was allowed to roam around checking the place out, he still wouldn't have known that the coast was completely clear for him on that roof....❓

Is this the same FBI that claimed Hunters laptop was not real

FBI probably flew the drone! Trump should have hand-picked Marines secure all future venues 72 hours before all rallies and stay there on post leaving each individual post only when replaced by a Secret Service agent.

Where did he get the drone???????

What if this kid was set up to take the down fall ? What if the person on the water tower was the real shooter. What if the person on the water tower ask this kid if he wanted to be on Trumps security detail for the day? I'm having a very hard time believing this kid was the shooter and he was not set up.

We want to know where that drone was purchased!!! The gun that was used too! It's all sketchy 💯 Who is BlackRock & how do they have connections to this 20 year old? Why has he always been a republican but made a $10 donation not too long ago to a Democrat campaign 🤔 It just came out that he has 3 encrypted overseas account 🤔 What!!!! And the secret service wasn't even secret service it was homeland security 🙄 So you just give her a badge & a gun and call her secret service 😮 We never will know the Truth! 💯

So someone could have flown a drone with a gun attached to it

This 9 minute clip, taught me nothing! 😟😫😞🧐🥺😩🤔

why wasn't a helicopter surveying the rally site before it began?????

So I thought it was illegal to fly any drones in these areas. Why wasn’t this reported? Sounds like more bad safety steps covering this site.Hopefully, The newest Events will be better vetted and secured.

A ladder, a drone, a range finder, a rifle and a detonator....I bet soon they'll find out he also bought the kitchen sink and his pet gerbil. 😮

What a comfort...the Fbi found the drone and are investigating it! That's hilariously ridiculous!😂😂😂

Unfortunately we the people will never know.

The kid was nuts he was obsessed with mass shootings per his classmates

Motive? My guess is. He was bullied. He was kicked off the rifle team and asked not to come back. Ithink he was proving to his peers what he was capable of. Pride. Again my opinion.

How many mistakes? Make a list of how many times this could be stopped. He was alone in camo pants and looking around with a range finder with a large backpack and drone. Looking up at a roof and getting in place with a rifle. What is protocol for having a person of interest? Compare him to the rest of the people there. He would be easily spotted by anyone looking for suspicious activity. He was spotted several times.

We have to get these newfangled devices that a 20 y/o nursing home worker used in the hands of our 3.64 billion $ funded secret service. I imagine they may be useful!

Crook out-whittled the secret service.

My main concern is what is wrong with secret service

Have we really "learned" any information? 🙄

As a drone operator, pilot and custom builder for the FPV hobby this action is forbidden can destroy the hobby these kinds of drones do not have Geo fencing built-in into the flight controller firmware .. For the law enforcement in these kinds of situations, they need to use a communications jamming device when these things are deployed in The area

A 20 year old kid would not be as sophisticated as this activity would have required - he had help……….

will the shooters parents be charged

Were his fingerprints on the drone? It feels like a second actor may have set him up and equipped him

And why does it sound like the first few shots are quieter than all the rest of them if he was on a metal roof they should have echoed big time

Who cares about the motive? I'm more interested in finding out who helped the shooter in his deed.

It is quite straightforward to show there were multiple shooters! Stop trying to Oswald this guy!

Any idea why this chap did have 3 overseas encrypted accounts ??? Perhaps he was hired many times before for doing the job !!!! A professional cornered in his own crimes !!! Which escape was still a possibility for him after ?????

You can’t make him a lone shooter!!!

This dude was JASON Bourne

FBI agent, "we want to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again" Thats what the FBI said last event, and the time before, and before ....

The shooter doesn’t seem to be a simple disturbed individual. He acts like someone with training?

Two questions have stood out from right after the attempt: Why did they let Trump take the stage? What were the motivations of this kid, with 3 offshore encrypted accounts? I hope we do get some answers.

I don't think this was a lone wolf attack. I think this gunman got groomed by someone at this shooting range he goes to and the hunting club he belongs to. And he had a drone to fly around the area! How did the gunman get away with that? This was an inside job. No questions

The secret service was less of a deterrent than a volunteer event staff member at a church fundraiser. They were just below a 16 year old movie usher in terms of protection.

Had “pictures of trump”? What because it’s so hard to remember what he looks like?

There were no bomb sniffing dogs present at the rally. What the heck!

He was believed to? Are you kidding me? Why report something when you don't have any proof? They should wait till there's solid evidence.

What about the planes at the RNC ?

Motive/money. Connect the dots

Ahh so it gets even less believable. Suuuuuuuure sure.
