Trump says Secret Service did not warn him about gunman


I've just read this:

Trump says Secret Service did not warn him about gunman
Donald Trump said he was not warned about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks by the Secret Service, despite reports from rally-goers an hour before he got on stage. The Republican presidential candidate told Fox News host Jesse Watters: “Nobody mentioned it. Nobody said it was a problem. “[They] could've said, "Let's wait for 15, 20 minutes, 5 minutes. “Nobody said…I think that was a mistake.”


I'm very confused what "reports from rally-goers an hour before" entails?
Does anyone know?
Was the guy walking round with his rifle asking to borrow a ladder??

Still no world on when that drone footage was taken?

You know, by the drone he left in his car.

That he probably used on the day of.

It's the little things.

all very good questions my Trump hating movie chat friend. I would assume there is an internal investigation going on and one would assume the DOJ would also be investigating. but we both know nothing will happen until Trump is President again next year. but Trump might not care by then as he will have tons of stuff to do to make America great again.

but we do know the local police and secret service was aware of the shooter. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist and say it was a inside job.

They had reports from well over an hour that Crooks was a possible threat and they did nothing about it and warned no one.

And yes, there's footage of Crooks walking around alone scoping the area and looking upwards towards elevated positions.

Crooks was seen by local police with his range finder about an hour before the shooting and identified as a suspicious person.

Later he was seen using the rangefinder by counter snipers who were inside one of the buildings (not on top because they had those dangerous slopes, lol). Crooks was near the building he shot from at that time. Local police knew someone was on the roof at least 2-3 minutes before the shooting and were in contact with the Secret Service.

This is according to stories I've seen in the news.
