Lone Assassin Story Debunked By Audio Files?

- 4 Replies
The FBI is claiming there are no audio recordings from the LEOs on the ground which is ridiculous however, there were thousands of cell phones recording the speech at the time of the shooting which prove this was NOT a lone shooter scenario but a badly executed operation. While the guy is not a gifted speaker, it is clear that the lone shooter story is pure bullcrap. Audio recordings don't lie. You snipers will understand better than most.

Secret Service Wants New Sniper Rifles
The new modular rifles will be able to quickly switch among four different cartridges and will feature a two-to-three-pound trigger pull.

I would like to discuss/hear opinions on the technical aspects of the USSS Request for Proposals for a new rifle.
Not politics or anything that belongs in The Pit
I personally found the chamberings interesting, the possibility of a carbon wrapped barrel, required folding stock, and the requirement of a Tbac can should make people here feel warm and fuzzy
Quick TLDR is ...
-Commercially available in serial production
-Must be quick change barrel (no barrel vice)
- Camberings and barrels for 300WM 26", 300PRC 27", 300NM 27", and .308 24"
-*Offered* as Left or right hand
-No heavier than 16lbs empty with no accessories
-Stainless steel barrels, but carbon wrapped stainless is acceptable
-Single-stage trigger that needs to “be free of both perceptible creep, as well as perceptible over-travel” and a “trigger pull [that] shall not measure less than 2.0 pounds, nor more than 3.0 pounds.”
-Whatever ‘chassis’ the barrel and the rest of the action sits in needs to have a folding buttstock that can also be extended or collapsed, and that comes with an adjustable cheekpiece for comb adjustment. It also needs to have a mixture of Picatinny-standard and RRS-Lock (also known as R-Lock) accessory rails for attaching scopes and other accessories
-“The rifle shall be supplied with a Thunder Beast Arms Magnus-SR 30 caliber Suppressor, with secondary retention non-timed brake (SR NTB),” the contracting document says. “If the rifle fails utilizing the requested suppressor a Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 9 shall be installed and tested. If the rifle fails with the Ultra 9 then the submission will be eliminated.”

Since the SS can't do it- how about we start drafting a timeline here?

Here's what we know as absolute facts.
13 JUL 2024- Former President Donald Trump was attending a rally during the Campaign trail for this years election in Butler, PA. While on stage- a 'would be' assassin fired several shots towards Mr. Trump, one of which hit his ear and narrowly missed his skull.
21 JUL 2024- Current President, Mr. Joseph Biden announces via Twitter/X that he is withdrawing from the election. As of this posting, no address has been made to the nation publicly other than a 'tweet' and the 'paperwork' being filed, on a Sunday of all days which is well known to be a busy day for government employees.
22 JUL 2024- Ms. Kimberly Cheatle testifies under subpoena from Congress to answer questions regarding the Secret Service's performance on 13JUL. Breaking from the usual decorum of said Congressional hearings, she is subjected to multiple representatives of the committee using profane language and demanding her resignation if not calling for being formally dismissed from the position. Ms. Cheatle also deliberately and obviously obfuscated answering questions from the committee.
23 JUL 2024- Ms. Kimberly Cheatle resigns her position after being questioned by Congress absolving her from personal liability moving forward apparently.
Help me fill in the blanks for the timeline here... from what I can tell we have the following-
*The excuse that SS agents weren't deployed on the roof of the 'almost' assassin, because it was 'sloped'. Furthermore, it was determined later that the counter snipers were deployed on other roofs with a steeper grade in slope.
*It came out shortly afterwards that bystanders not only reported the 'almost' assassin being on said roof, reported it to police, filmed it, and came out later that it occurred for more than 2 minutes. Also the counter sniper SS folks had the person observed at some point during this exchange.
*We're being told that the security detail that was supposed to be patrolling that building (at least as of today) decided to 'beat the heat' and stay inside instead'.
*AOC of all people, I'm guessing on Monday, even asked why the security perimeter didn't exceed the range of such a common rifle as was used in the assassination attempt.
*Somewhere prior to 13JUL and the previous disastrous debate that was televised, standing POTUS, Mr. Joseph Biden, he was swept away from the public eye due to coming down with COVID. Between this timeframe, numerous celebrities that have been longtime Democrat supporters called for Mr. Biden to bow out of the campaign.
*We had a moment of 'back and forth' of who the shooter was and (a comment I was previously going to share) after about 48 hours we finally got the name shared to include the Middle name. There was also a blip of associations with the shooter and BlackRock but think that's been quieted down since this weekend.
*Almost overnight, the standing VP, Ms. Kamala Harris, secured the Democrat nomination without any primary elections or due process AND broke all records raising over $81 Million dollars seemingly overnight shattering all previous records despite being one of the most UNpopular politicians in recent history.
I'm sure I missed plenty but seeing if the Hide has anything to add to bring some more polish to this most recent timeline I'd appreciate it. I know there's several threads already discussing these topics but was hoping to converge them into a single timeline. If you don't care to participate, fair enough, I get it I'll just leave you with this then-
