TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: Eyewitness accounts from people who saw the shooter on the rooftop and reported it

 Big question they point out here is the ladder going to the roof?  How did this Scumbag know it's there?

Yet the Secret Service did NOTHING! Probably because of the violence that the Trump-hating Democrats and their media useful idiots have been advocating for, especially in the past few months.

THIS JUST IN: Local police actually confronted assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks before he shot Trump, saw that he was armed, but didn’t do anything about it

According to the New York Post, local police encountered attempted-assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks just moments before he tried to kill former president Donald Trump — but failed to stop the gunman despite the clear threat, according to a report.

After rallygoers spotted Crooks on the roof of a manufacturing plant just 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, police were notified and one officer climbed a ladder to investigate, law enforcement officials said on the condition of anonymity.

There the officer encountered Crooks, who pointed his AR-style rifle at them. The officer then backed down the ladder, and Crooks immediately took aim and loosed eight shots at the former president – grazing him in the ear, killing one bystander in the rally crowd, and gravely wounding two others.

Officials also told AP that bomb-making materials were found inside Crooks’ vehicle, and bomb-making materials were found at his home.

MORE from the NY Post: A local cop spotted attempted-assassin Thomas Crooks just moments before he tried to kill former president Donald Trump — but failed to stop the gunman despite the clear threat, according to a report. The officer – whose department had been enlisted by the Secret Service to help with security — encountered Crooks, who pointed his AR-style rifle at them.

Despite the Secret Service’s quick response taking out the shooter, the agency tasked with protecting former and current presidents’ lives is facing harsh scrutiny for allowing a gunman to establish an open position so close to Trump’s rally.

“This was a catastrophic failure. It should never have been a remote possibility,” former House Oversight Committee chair Jason Chaffet, who lead an extensive 2015 investigation into the shortcomings of the Secret Service in 2015, told the Washington Post.

“We did all these investigations and did an extensive report so this would never happen again. It’s as if they paid no attention to the bipartisan recommendations,” said Chaffet, whose report focused on ways the Secret Service had been spread too thin.

The Secret Service confirmed after the shooting that it relied heavily on local police to help support its security efforts at the rally, including at least six officers from Butler County tactical units supporting the counter assault team that covered Trump’s evacuation – which only included two officers from the Secret Service, according to the Washington Post.

Current House Oversight Committee Chairman Hames Comer (R-Ky) announced plans to call Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle for a July 22 hearing to investigate the assassination attempt, as some – including Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) — have claimed Trump’s team repeatedly requested but was denied additional Secret Service support long before the shooting.
