Witnesses are still looking for answers a year after Trump’s assassination attempt

Butler, Pennsylvania – A year after the almost man’s attempt at an assassin on President Donald Trump, many of those who have witnessed the shooting say they are deeply dissatisfied with official surveys, which, according to them, have not provided significant answers.

“I am very dissatisfied with the lack of preparation,” said representative Dan Meuser, R-P-P., Who was seated in the front row during the rally. “The failures were almost incredible,” he told Fox News Digital, echoing a generalized opinion according to which the violation is the result of preventable not for the application of the laws.

Despite the probes of several federal agencies and an official congress survey, local residents and legislators say they are still wondering what went wrong.

“The working group was bipartite. And frankly, I do not think to date, they have obtained all the answers,” said Meuser.

The shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by the police on the scene. Since then, the secret services have undergone a series of high -level reshuffles.

A restricted committee of the congress found in its report a “lack of planning and coordination between the secret services and its partners to apply the law”, adding that the agency had been alerted from the suspicious movements of Crooks for more than 10 minutes before shooting.

But for those who were there, major questions remain:

What was Crooks’ motive? Why were the agents not parked on a nearby sloping roof? Why was the presence of Crooks above the AGR building was not acted earlier? How could he draw eight rounds before being neutralized by a counter-diagram of secret service?

In the absence of concrete responses, some participants made their own speculative conclusions.

“There have been certain stock market transactions that occurred just in advance,” said a rally lover.

“CNN has never broadcast Trump rallies. Why did they broadcast it?” Another asked. (CNN said he had broadcast Butler’s rally in anticipation of Trump announcing his choice of vice-president.)

“I don’t think it was (Crooks),” said another witness. “No one who went to school with him thinks he could have conceived this kind of event.”

Zach Scherer, a butler premises that worked on Trump’s three presidential campaigns, expressed in progress skepticism.

“We don’t know anything about this child from Bethel Park,” he said. “The Comperatore family needs answers. The rest of the community does it too. It affected each person who was here.”

“The investigations that have already been carried out are not very not very conclusive,” said Erin Autenreith, a GOP activist and participant in the Glenshaw rally in Pennsylvania. “There is so much technology now – these videos have such a resolution that they can really see the balls.”

“The American people, they do not trust the surveys,” she added. “No one believes it. So I don’t think it’s good.”

Jim Hulings, president of Butler’s County Gop, criticized Pennsylvania officials for what he called apathy to the case. He distinguished the prosecutor of the Republican district and attorney general of the State.

“The murder has never been investigated,” said Hulings. “We asked the district prosecutor to call a large jury. He wouldn’t. We have given him a letter and 8,000 signatures on a petition. He still wouldn’t do it.”

“The AG is not really careful,” added Hulings. “We were elected from Dave on Sunday, and he became Persona Non Grata.”

Some argue that the survey should be raised at the federal level, given its national implications.

But longtime rally lovers agreed on one thing: a little security presence was noticeable from the start of the day in Butler last year.

“All the other rallies that I went, there were secret services everywhere, so I supposed that they were going to be there. And they did not do it,” said Lucie Roth.

“There were no teams of visible elite shooters. There were no drones. There were no helicopters,” said Hulings. “Very few police officers.”

A number of factors have been blamed: technical problems with drones, high temperatures, which prompted the secret services to take refuge in air conditioning, a force that was widespread by long hours and unexpected overtime.

A Senate report revealed that key requests for resources have been refused, and some have not even been made: the secret services did not ask a surveillance team to help patrol the rally of 15,000 participants, while an event for the first Lady Jill Biden had an allocated 400 -one event.

Until a more complete image emerges, those who have experienced this painful day say that they will not stop putting pressure for responsibility – not only for Trump, but for Comperatore and a shaken community that is still looking for closure.
