FBI Director Wray has made it clear, and now we know why the snipers could not soot the assassin before he shot Trump. It is so obvious; why did we not understand this? The sniper was aiming at an area that is outside the Security Zone, but he was not allowed to fire until the shooter fired. Obviously, Tom Crooks might have just been duck hunting on the roof.
What if they had killed an innocent duck hunter? He may have paid the $25 for the permit. A possible innocent duck hunter. OMG. It all makes sense now, just like the cartoon about police protection in New York City. How stupid are we all? Obviously, he could have just been using the scope to look at Trump from a distance.
