Expert: “Shooter Had Help From Somewhere Within an Agency, an Organization, or the Government”

A veteran of the sniper team with the world’s longest confirmed kill refuses to believe untrained gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was so easily able to shoot former President Donald Trump — saying even “a seventh-grader” would know the rooftop he climbed onto was “the most f–king obvious” place to check.

“I’m very familiar with the layout of these types of things and what the job should be,” retired sniper Dallas Alexander said in an Instagram post Sunday of the previous day’s attempted assassination at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa.

“And yesterday what happened, I have no doubts in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency, an organization, or the government,” Alexander stated firmly. . .

“You could be like a seventh-grader — like ‘What do we have to do for security?’ Well, let’s look at these rooftops that are almost within zeroing range of a rifle,” he said incredulously.

Alexander continued: “Something happened. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone, it’s just too obvious that this guy had help getting there. Whether someone turned a blind eye or it was strategically planned. Events like that, security like that … it’s not a small thing and that is the most obvious place to be.” (Read more from “Expert: “Shooter Had Help From Somewhere Within an Agency, an Organization, or the Government” HERE)
