Officials previously claimed that Thomas Matthew Crooks was noticed by agents roughly an hour before.
The New York Times obtained texts between members of the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit.
The unit member’s texts provide a far more solid and earlier timeline leading up to Crook’s opening fire at the Pennsylvania rally.
The text messages also revealed the 20-year-old shooter was aware of law enforcement presence at the rally.
At a congressional hearing, it was revealed that authorities identified Crooks as a suspicious person 60 minutes before the shooting.
According to the Times report, the new evidence suggested Crooks was identified closer to 100 minutes before the shoo.ting

Saying it's Trump's fault for holding an outdoor rally is a bit like saying it was JFK's fault for being in a motorcade.
-
Not incompetence, they knew exactly what they were doing
-
All 4 victims should sue, especially the family of the deceased victim.
-
It was allowed to happen! They all should be investigated !
-
They are unlikely to be this incompetent- there are wheels within wheels here.
-
That's treason and all should be charged as such

How is it possible to have a civilian walking around an area where a presidential candidate is speaking with an AGR and not have him instantly detained? Not texting, not taking photos but immediately put in a car and detained for questioning. No one even bothered to go up an ask him what he’s doing?
-
The more that comes out, the harder this is to blame on incompetence.
-
The smell test keeps getting stinkier
-
How did one 20 year old find the only spot not covered by law enforcement to do what he had planned?
-
They're trying to make a coordinated asassination attempt look like incompetence
-
Who gave the order to the two local police snipers to leave the second-floor window from which the roof the killer later climbed onto could be monitored?

“If you see something, say something” People in the rally were alerting Police, but they did nothing….This thing stinks and it certainly was an inside job. The kid was a terrible shooter, and the Deep state had fingers crossed Hoping That 1 shot out of 8, would be deadly, but it backfired. Kid is dead. Now why didn’t SS snipers knowing he was up on the roof, from the crowd yelling and pointing….Brings us back to, “see something, say something”. The kid was the fall guy, bet he didn’t thing he would be Killed….This Stinks, it was inside job…

This can't Be buried. Please sky Australia report everything you can. YouTubers done experiments they won't do and it speaks volumes. Find these details and if it makes sense report it because the United States media with the exception of fox is done talking about it. They can't bury this too. Keep up the good work. We the people deserve the truth about this and a few other things

Like I have been saying. They left an avenue open knowing with their constant rhetoric, that a would be assassin would try to do what they wanted someone to do.

Could you stop showing his school photo, and show his adult photo? This makes it look like a little kid did this despicable act.
-
the same guards who fell asleep outside epsteins cell were hired to watch the roof but they left their post to get lunch
-
Everybody played their part, Except Trump. He was not supposed to turn his head. Biden asked Trump to his face and said " what made you turn your head". A dead giveaway.
-
Someone at the top allowed this to happen.

Its funny how the police are doing their job giving up what they sent but the secret service quiet as a mouse.
