* Biden gives RFK Jr. Secret Service protection after Trump rally shooting! - UPI.com



* A released photo shows a cellphone and a transmitter found next to the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks - WPXI.



Authorities believe that the remote was linked to an explosive device inside Crooks’ car. It never detonated.



Law enforcement is currently investigating whether the device was meant to cause more damage at the site or to create a distraction during his assassination attempt.



* The outlet also reported that local officers took pictures of Crooks almost 30 minutes before the incident.



* He first gained attention after passing through security several hours before Trump took the stage. Crooks had a rangefinder on him, CNN reported.



The device is often used by target shooters and hunters for gauging the distance of long-range targets, similar to binoculars.



* A local officer also encountered Crooks around 5:45 p.m., took a picture of him, and went to notify other officers.



* According to CNN, Crooks was able to access the roof by climbing onto an air-conditioning unit. He told his boss at the Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center that he would not be able to work that day because he had “something to do.”



* Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said that it was local law enforcement’s responsibility to secure the roof. She also claimed that the roof’s angle was a hindrance, stating that its slope was unsafe for agents. Her critics have pointed out that the “sloped” roof did not deter Crooks from shooting Trump and other victims.



* DEI must end now!



* Kim Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, must resign now!



* Joe Biden July 8, 2024: "We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."



* The FBI will lead the investigation into the attempted assassination, while state agencies will have domain over the killing of the bystander and the critical wounding of two others.



* Please be persistent and ask members of Congress in your state: Why they continue to support the war machine that is the US empire today?
