ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: A lot unanswered

Unlike President Kennedy’s assassination of Nov. 22, 1963, today’s technology of smart phones, police body and car cameras, and “Google Earth” help reconstruct the crime scene at Butler, Pa. (July 13).  

Helping understand this tragedy are the testimonies of many eyewitnesses, including Gregg Smith (interviewed BBC), who saw a shooter on a rooftop.    

Cory Comperatore, killed at the rally, and critically injured Daniel Dutch and James Copenhaver need justice; as well as President Trump, who miraculously missed being assassinated.  

However, there are many unresolved questions (Senator Grassley, Representative Higgins, Dr. Martenson…). Why did the investigating FBI: 1) Release the local law enforcement about 1-1/2 hours after the shooting? 2) Allow the 20-year-old shooter’s body to be cremated just as Congress began their investigations? 3) Cleaned the roof by an agent? “Biological” cleanup is done by contractors? 4) Allow the Rally Site to be broken-down so soon? 5) Deny access to investigating Senator Hawley?    

There are also questions about Trump’s Secret Service, 60-employee detail: 6) Not picking up the communication phones that local law enforcement provided? 7) Poor placement of sniper teams? 8) Moving too slowly to protect Trump?  

Audio analysis picks up 10 shots. 3 shots are “muffled?” Then 5 very rapid “pops” (AR-15) and finally 2 sniper shots separated by 10 seconds. 

The hero is a local sniper (shot 9), who hit the shooter’s AR-15 — stopping further shots! 

“Seven (things) are an abomination to HIM (LORD)… A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans… “(Proverbs 6: 16-19). 

Bizarre! Are we dealing with a coverup?
