Why It Wasn't a Lone Assassin

Following are many of the reasons I will never be convinced Crooks had no help in attempting to assassinate Donald Trump.

For what it’s worth, following is my “Conspiracy Theory”, if you wish to call it that…

1. Director Cheatle admitted to having a Signal encrypted messaging app on her personal phone and admitted to having used it for official business. This would give her a clandestine way of communicating with others in government such as her boss DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and perhaps someone in the White House, all who share the same antipathy toward Trump.

2. Cheatle would also certainly know more than one Secret Service field agent who shares the same feelings regarding Trump.

3. Together, over several months, using Signal, they conspire to create the conditions for an assassin to strike by refusing requests for additional field staff and assets such as helicopters, drones, sniper teams, etc., and by filling requests with plump, untrained, inexperienced, wholly unqualified, female DHS field staff instead of fully-trained, highly-qualified male Secret Service field staff. They would only need one person in an oversight position whose job is to do pre-inspections of event sites.

4. Cheatle makes one or more disaffected SS field staffers an offer they can't refuse (Oh I don't know...a million bucks for failing to fully secure the site or simply making one "bad decision" like sending Trump on to the stage despite credible reports of a suspicious person on the property?)

5. But what about Crooks? I assume that at this point you know he practiced shooting at a local gun range with DOJ and other government employees. Is that a coincidence, or were they grooming Crooks for his moment of glory? I believe he was co-opted by them and groomed for the task.

6. In the months prior to the event, cell phone pings of DOJ/FBI staff were noted at Crooks’ home several times, and Crooks’ cell phone along with those of some of the above-mentioned DOJ/FBI staff were pinged at the same location in Washington, DC near an FBI and DOJ office location.

7. Crooks was seen a week before the event walking the premises. Why was he not stopped and asked what the hell he was doing?

8. Earlier on the day of the event, Crooks flew a drone over the site. WTF??

9. Crooks was seen walking around the event grounds well before it started, using a rangefinder to measure various distances. Why wasn’t he stopped and interviewed and/or detained by Secret Service? If they are there to protect Trump, how can that not be part of their responsibilities?

10. Crooks was spotted nearly an hour prior to the shooting and wasn’t followed or interdicted as a suspected dangerous threat or at the very least a suspicious person.

11. Trump should have never taken the stage until the bad actor was found and neutralized. Who made the decision to send Trump on stage, and why? That person deserves a vigorous interrogation, perhaps at a black site…if you know what I mean (despite what the lovely and gracious Nancy Pelosi might want to screech about such things)?

12. There was no aerial surveillance by drone or helicopter

13. The snipers didn’t take him out until after he got off THREE shots despite having him in their sights on the roof for over three minutes. They have authorization to shoot to kill if they consider anyone a lethal threat. Something stinks to high heaven on that point alone.

14. The building from where the shooter was is an obvious “line of sight” issue that was not addressed by having someone stationed atop that building

15. Multiple people were yelling at Secret Service agents and police officers for three minutes prior to the shooting, pointing out the shooter on the roof, and not one of them investigated!

16. Crooks was immediately killed, eliminating any opportunity to interrogate him (Think Lee Harvey Oswald).

17. A retired sniper said there is no way this shooter or anyone else could have avoided the Secret Service, much less do so carrying a gun even in a backpack, climb that building, position himself in the perfect spot for his assassination attempt, and squeeze off seven shots without insider assistance.

And, Voila!, you have the volatile mix for what happened on July 13th, complete with plausible deniability on the part of (most of) the field staff and management.

But, wait...not so fast! If every single person involved in any way in the July 13th event is interrogated - not politely interviewed - as a murder suspect, we might just get to the bottom of this conspiracy to assassinate Donald J. Trump.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. I'm all worn out on "lone gunman" theories at this point in my life, as I've now lived through FIVE of them. I say, enough of the gaslighting. I'm too old, too smart, and too cynical to fall for yet another lone gunman theory. The kid wasn’t nearly smart enough to pull it off without help.
