It shows the immediate aftermath of the shooting, with Crooks’ dead body lying on the roof and several officers surrounding him, along with a federal agent.
In addition to the previously discussed comments of the officers, the footage also shows them expressing concerns about potential explosive devices, three of which were later found in Crooks’ car and home.
The officers can be heard urging the FBI to expedite their response.
In a press release, Grassley pointed to two core concerns raised by the footage.
- A fragmented and delayed chain of communication between local and federal law enforcement.
- A seemingly delayed response in identifying and disabling a potential detonator device, including a potential device located next to the deceased shooter.
“The video footage additionally records law enforcement discussing the need to use a drone to inspect and secure the water tower on site,” Grassley notes.
He adds “Records obtained by my office corroborate that USSS had assigned an Unmanned Aerial System drone operator to the event.”
BOTTOM LINE: Secret Service/DHS/FBI hv a responsibility to EXPLAIN 2 the American ppl what went wrong on July 13 + how they plan 2 fix it
If fed govt isnt willing 2 give u the facts then I WILL

As we previously highlighted, Crooks was able to fly his own drone over the rally site just hours prior to Trump taking the stage.
