More extensive audio analysis reveals a clear difference between the weapon firing shots #1 through #3 and the other weapons and shots. This disparity needs to be addressed by “official” investigators. I put that in quotes because so far this “investigation” has been nothing short of being completely inadequate.
From washing down the roof, to releasing helmet cam ‘evidence’ that has been misleadingly edited, to failing to provide even the most basic accounting of the shots taken and the bullet paths, the official investigation would be a stretch even to a script involving the Keystone Cops of old.
But now many of the mysteries of the audio files have been resolved. Nick and I debated and reworked and challenged ourselves as thoroughly as we could–and then, finally, the clouds (mostly) parted.
By analyzing and cross-comparing multiple audio files, including Trump’s mic feed, we can definitively say that shot #9 must have come from a PA LEO asset of some sort, probably an ESU agent – if the statement by the Butler County DA Richard Goldinger is correct.
Which raises many questions, some of them troubling.
First, that the 9th shot came a full 10.1 seconds before the Secret Service sniper’s shot. So what exactly was that ESU agent doing while awaiting that inbound round? Was their shot a “kill shot” as we suspect due to the fact that there wasn’t a second or a third or other follow-on shots?
Second, where exactly did they take that shot from? Was it the second floor of the adjacent building?
If so, why didn’t they shoot earlier? Can we see the spent brass from that shot? What sort of weapon did they use? Where’s the bullet now?
Third, if this shot came roughly a second after the five-shot series (shots 4-8), how did they manage to get into position so quickly if they weren’t already in the room watching things unfold?
Alternatively, we now know that the ESU was in that room on the second floor, overseeing Crook’s position both before the shooting began and then there again to take that kill shot 9.4 seconds after the very first shot was fired. So if the ESU was in there before and 9.4 seconds after the shooting began, were they in there observing Crookks but doing nothing during the shooting? If so, how can this be explained?
Who else exactly was in that building before and during the shooting? Can anybody account for the whereabouts of the grey-suited man before the shooting began?
Finally, the investigation rolls on. It’s taking a huge amount of effort, but it’s certainly worth it because everything is on the line.
Conclusions:
- Shots 1-3 are inconsistent with shots 4–8.
- Shot 9 is 100% distinct and is, all probability, the ESU sniper.
- Shot 10 is clear and unequivocally the Secret Service Sniper on roof #2.
- Therefore, we remain seriously concerned that the “investigation” is not being conducted properly.
The Requests:
- We need any and all additional footage with audio from anywhere, but especially to the side of the AGR complex.
- Help identifying Trump’s mic make/model and explaining the ‘gating’ we hear.
- Any help with professional audio analysis that can help resolve echoes to determine if we can determine how many of shots 1-8 came from different locations.
- Any video or photos of the AGR buildings immediately before the shootings began so we can determine the open/closed status of the windows.
