BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Video Uncovered of Alleged Assassin Crooks Jumping Between Buildings in Butler

A video of alleged assassin Thomas Crooks jumping between buildings in Butler, PA only minutes before President Trump is shot has been located. 

A video from minutes before President Trump was shot in Butler, PA on July 13 shows what appears to be the alleged attempted assassin, Thomas Crooks, jump between buildings on his way to shoot Trump.

Numerous reports claim that Crooks crawled up the side of a building near President Trump’s rally before shooting the President.

The New York Times reported on July 23, for example:

But the slope of the warehouse roof that the gunman had chosen would have also made it difficult for the south countersniper team to see him as he crawled upward, a Times analysis shows. Only the very top of Mr. Crooks’s head would have been visible in either Secret Service countersniper team’s line of sight, and only while the gunman was hunkered behind the highest point on the roof…

…As he crawled up toward the peak of the roof, its slight slope would have concealed him from the Secret Service countersnipers for a majority of the time. And, once he reached the top, the two trees would have provided some cover from the north countersniper team.

The Washington Post also reported on Crook crawling up the roof before the assassination attempt of the President.

Using satellite imagery and over 40 photos and videos, the Washington Post developed a 3D model mapping out the shooting site and positions of its key players. Due to the slanted nature of the roof where Crooks made his perch, the outlet concluded that snipers must have experienced an obstructed view of the shooter, only amplified by a thick clump of trees.

These claims made by the outlet were subsequently “reviewed and corroborated” by a handful of military and law enforcement experts: two retired police snipers, a former Secret Service agent and a retired Marine Corps sniper.

During the rally, two teams of Secret Service snipers crouched on a pair of barn roofs directly behind Trump’s podium. According to the 3D model, the line of sight for both Secret Service sniper units may have been blocked by the triangular pitch of the shooter’s roof, rising 3.5 feet toward an angled peak. Crooks reportedly climbed 16.5 feet off the ground with the help of a ladder. Then, the outlet said, by maintaining a low army crawl on his stomach, Crooks was able to reach the spine of the warehouse roof unnoticed.

Pictures of Crook were reported after the event, laying down on the roof of the building presumably where he fired from at President Trump.

Today we have uncovered a video from moments before when President Trump was shot and have identified who we believe is Thomas Crooks jumping between buildings (see picture above from the video).

A number of videos were released by the Butler Township Police Department.  One video shared appears to show that Crooks dropped and crossed over the hallway between buildings, then lifted up his backpack.

How could Crooks have not been spotted and stopped by anyone before attempting to assassinate the President?
