Here a bit late, but how is "texting and sniping" even a thing?
Is SGT Nichol’s wife open to being interviewed regarding her professional experience with the deceased? IYKYK
The news used to criticize layered government negligence.
Now it protects it, dismissing it as simply "hard to grasp."
It could not look worse ?
CNN ABC and the rest of left wing media caused this WAKE UP
CNN fault your bias lies about TRUMP has to stop….this what happens
Don’t even act like you guys care at CNN FAKE NEWS your fault for being so democratic biased attacking TRUMP non stop
Do I have this correct? Greg Nicols is one of the local Butler County counter snipers posted on the second floor overlooking the AGR building. Nicols spots Crooks (another Butler County local) using a Rangefinder and text pictures of him to his security team and then does the unthinkable and abandons his post? He follows Crooks from window to window as Crooks walks around the outside of building until Nicols loses him. Why didn't he just radio the ground crew to follow Crooks? Nicols text his team stating that he has lost him and the last he saw Crooks was walking in the direction of the Sheetz store. This is misleading as although Crooks was walking around the Building in the direction of the Sheetz store his object destination is that hidden air conditioning cubby to climb up its line and access the roof unspotted and the Sheetz store is about a half mile away off the grounds of the rally leading ground security to believe Crooks has left the premesis. Was that intentional? In persuit of Crooks Nicols goes down stairs exiting the building in the direction of Crooks but in the process locks himself out of the Building as he somehow failed to bring his card key? Was that intentional? He then calls the other Sniper at the other window of the second floor asking him to come down stairs to let him back in. Was that intentional? In doing so now no counter sniper has view of the AGR Roof from the second floor because they both have left thier post. Was that the plan? This just happens to be the time Crooks climbs up the air conditionig line onto the roof of an adjacent building and unpacks his AR from his back pack and assembles his rifle. He then get into position on the other side of the building and right after Nicols walks by him from below were Crooks can see him Crooks begins his mad dash running accross two roof tops and is spotted by the cops until he get to the roof of the AGR building. A cop is hoisted up by another cop above the wall and Crooks spots him and points his AR at him and the cop immediately jumps down. Crooks hurridly crawls up the roof till he gets near the peak rest his rifle on the peak and hurridly fires 8 rounds at President Trump. He is a tired and shaken, No woNder he misses. By the time Nicols and his co countersniper get back into the building and go upstairs and around the building to their positions the shooting has already uninhibited taken place and they see Crooks dead on the roof from thier countersniper window positions. Nicols later is videoed exiting the building looking and walking cool as a cucumber as if nothing just happend? You would think he would have been very disturbed and nervous after seeing Crooks head blown off on the roof and all the blood but mosty do to the guilt and embarrasment of knowing he had broken counter sniper rule 101 by abandonig his post and allowed the sniper to cary out his plan and possibly killed innocent people? He is purposly acting calm. Did Crooks Know Nicols? Did they practice at that same local range together were Crooks did? Did they conspire? Was Nicols exiting of the building and walking below Crooks the all clear sign for Crooks to make a mad dash to his sniper location on the AGR building and attempt to kill President Trump? The Republicans in Congress and Dan Bongino are barking up the wrong tree! Put Nicols and the other 2nd floor counter snipers up for questioning! If they would not have left their post Cory Competore would still be alive with his Family and 3 other Americans one of which was President Trump would not have been wounded. How is it possible they have not done that yet? Not just these agency heads who know nothing and answer nothing anyway.These hearing are a complete charade and Im so pissed off they are playing us all as completely stupid!
Clown News Network
Back in the days, police used the ladders and equipment on the Civil Defense trucks to interdict roof top trespassers, line guns used to drag a tarp over one young gunman.
Nice to have their faces now you know who they are..
Donald Trump handled this terrible event gracefully.
Nichol contradicted himself. He said "I assumed someone would speak with this individual" Yet, in a different interview he said that he took it upon himself to abandon his post, a critical post, to "keep eyes on him". Oddly, instead of exiting the building through the door nearest him and Crooks, he travelled through two buildings to come out on the opposite side of the entire complex.
These are the Deputies that Trained with Crooks, at Clairton Sportsman's Club !
That fucker Greg Nicol has a lot of questions to answer!
SATAN IS UNLEASED AS DEMONIC Democrats have PLANNED👹‼️‼️

The shooter was part of CNN, trained employee, the giveaways were easy, heres a mound of evidence. :
doesnt shoot straight either, inaccurate on bothsides, hurts innocent civilians. when theres a target its missed, hed to deep state connections, conspired against the U.S.A.
has foreign interests, dont say anything important, no social life, not mentioned on social media. not liked by anyone, is a dork, depressed, out of touch, manipulated the government with trickery, has a failed diabolic agenda, low ratings, inefficient, public enemy #1. , no sign of christ in that life. FAKED OUT EVERYONE, suffers from TDS. Manipulated crimes against our government and people, angry at Republican message. Dirty money tied, left wing propaganda, blackrock ties, fbi influenced. Crawls on belly, needs better vision, sloppy, careless, anti democratic, ,unch hour by self,
Whats amazing is that the Trump shooter was all those things and also did all that in 1 show.
Exact same as CNN….
AND WHERE DID WE HIM 1ST . CNN,
How many Trump shootings were there…just 1 and you both were there, doing the said list above.
Just like all the other tv shows you did.
How many Trump ralleys did CNN have on TV. Oh just the 1 he got shot at.
So you only been to 1 and thats the 1 he gets shot at….and its by your employee?
CNN, You and Mr.Crooks sure are alot alike.
Youre both better then you were just a few short years ago. When you were a public hummiliation for your inaccuracy, and though the last few weeks have been exciting, both have been dead since.
When you go after Trump you get murdered and he gets more powerful and popular.
CNN and the shooter, way to similar to be differant
Is a layered collective of systemic incompetence a possibility?
It’s about time CNN finally shares this, as we’ve known it for almost a month now!
the crowd and local cops saw the assassin an hour before he fired, but our awesome, high tech, on the ball, razor sharp, covering all the bases secret service had no clue he was there. Baloney.
"stand down".
I can’t even believe that this is free of some type of spin or bias bc it’s CNN. I look at these people and unfortunately I feel like there is a motive behind this..
I remember when I was young and watching any news channel and never feeling like there is a narrative or motive behind the journalist. Not so anymore! I believe there is always a behind the scenes corruption, conspiracy, collusion between news agencies and government agencies to undermine anything, anyone that isn’t aligned with their narrative or motives.
Did you ask them why they weren’t on the roof, and why they were in the window instead? Because it was too hot !!!!
They are liars…so if the USSS was so bad, then why were the locals not on the roof? Secret Service didn’t make them leave the roof and say, “by the way, the guy had a range finder.” Uhhh, what leadership do they need to be on a roof that Everybody sees that they should be on? So gross that the locals are lazy and still blaming USSS.
Because this was a complot to kill Trump these agemts were paid to kill Trump the elite madonic font want Trump alive because he is against the satanic agenda 2030 Soros and orjers are behind this plot to kill Yrump they wabt him dead and the secret service and the FBI, CIA and police were all brought by the elite but thank God their plan of assasination FAILED this was a complot to kill Trump 🙏🙏🙏➕️➕️➕️
my research, indicates Thomas Crooks, was very intelligent, and liked by his teachers and closest friends. Other than the fbi, no other person has mentioned any depression. There are NO DOCTORS , NO MEDICINE for depression. In my opinion depression is a DISTRACTION ! Let's talk about MOTIVE. I read Crooks had $1.5 millon dollars in 3 offshore accounts . Has CNN investigated that report ?
The guy is running on the roof right in front of the second story window that is open btw and they didn't see him. My asss!!😂 They weren't there at there post at that moment or they let it happen so which is it sniper Greg. Huh??
