Newly released video reportedly shows police surrounding the building used by Thomas Crooks prior to his assassination attempt.
A caption on the video states that it was taken by a man named Dave Stewart from Butler, Pennsylvania. It goes on to claim that his cellphone was seized by the FBI after the shooting but was later released and he was allowed to publicize the video.
Matt Wallace published the nearly two-and-a-half-minute video on Twitter, where police can be seen milling about the area before shots ring out. The man behind the camera can be heard wondering why the building is of such interest to law enforcement, before correctly assuming that there was “someone” in the building.
Watch:
Holy Sh*t
New footage from July 13th shows police had the building surrounded for over a minute before the shooter opened fire!!!
Why didn’t they take Trump off stage?
Why didn’t they get to the shooter faster?
WERE THEY ORDERED TO STAND DOWN?
Agents also already had texts… pic.twitter.com/TYPvgpsnZ7

This is clearly an inside job.
Trump wasn’t supposed to survive that day. But God saved him.

One of the main issues was that SS didn’t bother to meet with local law enforcement before the rally. So among other mistakes, they were on different radio channels. SSCS didn’t know if the bad guy was LEO, couldn’t confirm, so they didn’t engage him or pull Trump off the stage.

This is criminal. Trump should have been taken off the stage immediately.

Honestly this is heartbreaking
Corey should be alive today
And to think… this looks like the unthinkable…

The biggest question at this juncture, is why wasn’t Trump covered up and removed from that stage B4 the shooting started . When cops are surrounding a building , we’re no longer talking about a suspicious person, we’re talking about a threat.

The more we learn the more upsetting this becomes
