I'll have to go over this again more carefully, but I wanted to say that I think Dan Bongino might have just misspoken when he said 400 yards. The people in chat, at the time, were questioning yards and saying feet because of the obvious difference that would make.
This is totally irrelevant but my one laugh-till-I-cried moment of the week was when I heard the "Fanfare for the First Lady". It was that "boop-boop-boop-boop" opening. It made me think of a polka-dotted clown car at the circus with all the clowns piling out of it with flashing red noses and long feet and slap-sticks doing the run-around-the-car fire drill. Ya had to be there...
"Dan Bongino. At 11:00 minutes in, he talks about the shot that killed the assassin. He confirms that the shot that took out the assassin was indeed fired by a Secret Service team.”
. . .
Chris Martenson claims that his analysis of the bullet audio suggests that shots #3 & #6 of the 2nd burst of fire were from a “second shooter/.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LouUbMYb7Bc
PERHAPS the ESU officer's shots wounded Crooks, who possibly then rolled away to his right (leaving his rifle behind) leaving the concealment of a tree, then became visible to the Secret Service sniper team #2, who then fired the final, fatal shot. Otherwise, why would the ESU officer stop shooting at Crooks for 10 seconds until the kill shot? I recall hearing a bystander filming Crooks on the roof, saying “He's moving this way!” before the final shot.
I look forward to reading your review, I haven't looked at this aspect in any detail. Several days ago, my first thought on hearing the shots was that the shot at the end of the 2nd burst sounded different. I thought that shot put down shooter, and the one 10 seconds later was the kill shot.
Here's a quote I took a few days ago from CNN: "The first three shots were consistent with alleged weapon A, the next five were consistent with alleged weapon B, and the final “acoustic impulse” was emitted by a possible weapon C, per audio analysis by Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate at the same institution." https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-rally-shooting-07-14-24#h_e3b77ce122987eb5d2059a2dff21a270
I think it’s fitting (though I don’t think it means anything spiritual) as an eagle, because it’s the symbol of America. Not a big deal, but a nice detail to have noticed
Unlike the 4.5 hours of testimony by Kimberly Cheatle on Monday, July 22, a total waste of time (I watched it all) except for the dubious pleasure of seeing Congresspeople coming together in a common cause, the Department of Homeland Security is conducting hearings/investigation with witnesses who actually gave us some new facts on Tues, July 23. The Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police is especially engaging.
I look forward to more hearings from this committee, especially when they get the local law enforcement people involved. BTW Cheatle, who by then had resigned, was a no-show.
Thanks for this. Yes, at first I was so impressed by the Congressmen coming together to ask seemingly hard questions, I thought maybe this wasn’t theatre for a change. But they never ask the relevant questions, like who was actually in charge there on the day?

It is the First Lady....
That might support the fact of a somewhat less than "crack" assassination team.
That made me laugh out loud!

I think Chris may be correct, but not in the way he thinks. Local news reported that "County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said a Beaver County Emergency Services Unit officer fired a shot that "appeared to cause a reaction from Crooks" https://www.wtae.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-investigation-homeland-security-crooks/61629040
Those ESU officers were in the 2nd floor of the building behind Crooks. That probably explains shots #3 & #6 (of the 2nd burst of fire) from "the second shooter." https://www.eugyppius.com/p/cock-ups-conspiracies-and-the-failed?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=268621&post_id=146745801&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=105v9&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email IF so, there was a “2nd shooter,” but not in the water tower and not shooting at Trump.

I saw Martenson's video, but there are some serious problems in it..
Working on a review of his claims.

I don't understand the fuss about the tangled flag. Because it looks like an angel? Really??
I thought it was implied it was an eagle
Somewhere else they're claiming it looks like an angel. Either way, I remain unimpressed.

My memory is that several of them did ask, but didn't get satisfactory answers.
