Above: the ladder that Thomas Matthew Crooks used to scale the roof of the warehouse, from where he shot at former President Donald J. Trump.

The New York Post has reported that a local sniper team was INSIDE the warehouse, from which Crooks shot at President Trump, WHILE he was firing his weapon.

This may explain why a ladder was present at a location, where Crooks could conveniently ascend to the roof and gain a clean line of sight to Trump. The question is, did the Secret Service permit Crooks to make use of the ladder, and thus facilitate Crooks’ assassination attempt?

Also, The New York Post and The Daily Mail are both reporting that Secret Service was aware of Crooks’ presence, nearly 30 minutes before he tried to kill Trump.

KEEP IN MIND THAT SECRET SERVICE AGENTS MAY RECEIVE REAL-TIME INFORMATION, BY WAY OF HIDDEN EARPHONES.

WHAT WAS BEING REPORTED TO THOSE AGENTS, IN REAL TIME??
