We are still waiting to get that information. I’ve seen some speculation that he was able to stash it near an air conditioning unit at the adjacent building. I am very interested in that question.
One year former President Ford visited practice. I remember there were Secret Service guys on the hill about 300 yards away, on the railroad bridge about 400 yards away, on top of the field house… The distance from that rooftop to the podium was about the same as a football field + end zones: 120 yards. Another year Dick Cheney visited on game day and it was even more locked down. Super Bowls you literally couldn’t take a piss without someone being right there. So this just seems mighty frickin’ peculiar.
Thanks Gerald. Question: despite the security breaches, the SS agents who dived on President Trump had at least 3-4 shots fired directly over the top of them? I assume the shooter could have hit them given his position?
Thank Gerald for your expertise!
Seconded. Great analysis. The timeline and coms don't add up. None of it.
The lack of public updates is simply ridiculous.
Great interview
Excellent analysis Gerald!
Mr. Posner, how and when did he manage to get a long gun up to the roof?

How was he accessing these rooftops?

So investigators suspect the shooter was accessing *multiple* rooftops?
Do investigators have any hypotheses how he was able to access the building(s) roof(s)?
Where/how was the shooter stowing his gear? I noticed in the pics where he’s in the background that he appears to have no gear with him.
Good interview, but you need a better microphone setup.
Good catch - I had trouble with my standard microphone, so had to go with a fast replacement
We all need back-up!

Yes, their reaction was the heroic behavior that is required for Secret Service agents. They did that well.
It only occurred to me after watching this model of the shot sequence. Not sure how accurate it is: https://x.com/backthebluecool/status/1814489451051049093?s=46&t=FnruuNJl20TFqjQVrM9wYg
Breach ? When its intentional its not a breach. Lack of security was by design .. This is worse than Afganistán debacle. Both intentional .
Trump was shot at. But was he indeed shot? I ask because some suggest that flying glass from a shattered teleprompter might have injured Trump.
