Never-before-seen footage has just been released of Secret Service agents and cops talking about Trump’s would-be assassin while standing over his dead body.
The video was just released as part of an FOIA request and is making waves online.
In the 3 minute, 6 seconds long clip, Secret Service can be heard discussing the shooter riding his bicycle to the Trump rally.
They also talk about a sniper who saw Thomas Matthew Crooks and thought he seemed suspicious, but conveniently lost line of sight just after taking photos of him.
This seems to be the same sniper who took this photo of Crooks:

The New York Post had previously reported that Crooks used a bike to scout out the rally — in full view of cops and the gathered crowd:
Would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks rode his bicycle around the former president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — and ditched it in full view of cops and a crowd before he climbed on top of a roof and opened fire, law enforcement sources and witnesses confirmed to The Post.
Exclusive photos showed the gunman’s bike parked beneath a tree just yards away from the building where he fired up to eight shots, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a hero firefighter and wounding two other supporters.
A witness first noticed the bike at 5:30 p.m. — when Crooks was busy scoping out the perfect spot and more than 40 minutes before he fired gunshots.
It’s the latest damning piece of evidence that Crooks, who was deemed suspicious up to three hours before the shooting, was able to move freely around the supposedly secure area.
Law enforcement sources said that Crooks was identified as “suspicious” an hour before the shooting, and the Secret Service deemed him a “threat” 10 minutes prior to Trump going on stage, but let the GOP nominee take the podium anyway.
ABC News reported that he was spotted on the roof by Secret Service counter-sniper teams 20 minutes before he opened fire.
“I noticed it at 7 p.m. [nearly an hour after the shooting]. Still in the same area, still in the same position,” a witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said of the bike — which was left with a host of gear.
How is it that cops and Secret Service watched this very suspicious guy ride around the rally and not keep tabs on him?
Especially when he proceeded to pull out a ladder and climb up onto a roof then bear crawl across the roof with a rifle — all while people were pointing and shouting?
There’s only one answer…

It was all an inside job. Cheatle was the sacrificial lamb.
