Butler Police, District Attorney Release Shooter Photos, Police Trump
Rally Security Preparations

[[link removed]]
We received four pages of documents
[[link removed]]
from the district attorney’s office in Butler County, Pennsylvania,
detailing the extensive preparation of local police for the rally at
which former President Trump was shot.

Local Pennsylvania law enforcement has been more transparent about the
Trump assassination attempt than the Biden-Harris administration,
which is in full cover-up mode.

The preparation by local officials included sniper teams,
counter-assault teams, and a quick response force.

On August 9, in response to a separate open records request, we also
obtained
[[link removed]]
bodycam footage of the July 13 assassination events from the Butler
Township Police Department.

We received today’s records in response to July 26, 2024,
Pennsylvania Right To Know Request for:

All records and documents related to President Donald Trump’s
presidential campaign rally that was held in Butler, PA, on July 13,
2024, including but not limited to:

1) site security plans, risk or threat assessments, designation of
security perimeters, plans for responding to suspicious activity or an
active threat or attack, memoranda of understanding, or other
documents establishing roles and responsibilities of federal agencies
and state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement
partner agencies, and associated chains of command.

2) All audio/video/photographic recordings captured on body-worn
cameras or other electronic devices in your possession.
Please provide records from July 1, 2024, to present.
Included with the documents were two photographs

of
Matthew Crooks, the shooter, who was killed by law enforcement
snipers.

On July 9th, at 10:17 p.m., Sgt. Edward Lenz, Adams Township Police
Department, Mars, PA, emails
[[link removed]]
Richard Goldinger, with a “cc” To William Mayhugh, with the
subject: “Butler ESU Deployment” Request/ Presidential Rally 7
/13/24”. The email states:


Good evening Rich!

I just want to ensure you have the information and details regarding
the request for Butler ESU to assist this Saturday at the presidential
candidate rally:

Butler Twp PD and the US Secret Service have requested our assistance
at the rally. I have had several discussions with the USSS, and as of
today they are requesting assistance from us with providing sniper/
overwatch support, counterassault teams, and a quick reaction force.
Our current plan is to provide 2 sniper elements, 2 mobile
counterassault teams, and a quick reaction force.

* The sniper elements would provide overwatch for the rally and
would work in conjunction with the secret service counter-sniper unit
* The counterassault teams would be dedicated teams that would
respond to and address an attack directed at the presidential
candidate inside of the venue, whether it be a coordinated attack with
multiple assailants, or a single attacker.
* The quick response force would be dedicated to respond to and
address any high-risk incidents occurring outside of the venue. They
would not respond to civil disturbances – this would be handled by
uniformed members of PSP. The QRF would assist PSP at the request of
incident commander, and upon the approval of the ESU commander.

This will be manpower intensive, and Beaver County ESU and Washington
County SWAT have agreed to supplement with manpower – Beaver ESU is
going to send their armor with 6-8 operators, and Washington County
SWAT is going to send a sniper element along with 3-4 operators. The
request for assistance will be officially made through Region 13.Our
current plan is to rally at 0900 for a briefing, and to be operational
by 1100. As long as the timeline doesn’t shift, we should be
releasing the assisting agencies by 1830, but I expect Butler ESU to
remain operational until a majority of the farm snow grounds has been
cleared.

We have a law enforcement walkthrough at the farm show Thursday at
1000 , and Bill is coming to that as well I believe.

As always, if you have any questions let me know, and I will follow up
with more information should anything in our plan change!

Stay safe!

On July 9th, 2014, at 1:18 p.m., Lenz sends an email
[[link removed]]
to Steven Bicehouse, with a “cc” to Kevin Mikulan, with the
subject: “Region 13 Tactical Support Request”. The email
states:


Good evening Sir!

Butler ESU has been requested to assist Butler Township Police and the
US Secret Service at the presidential rally this Saturday, July 13
2024. Throughout my discussions with the USSS, they have requested we
provide sniper teams and counterassault teams, as well as an
additional element available outside of the venue. This will be
manpower intensive, and I spoke with Pat Young from Beaver County ESU
and Guy Kuzak from Washington County SWAT to ask for some assistance.
Both offered to send a squad of guys with equipment to assist but
asked that an official request be submitted for Region 13 assets.

I have never submitted a request for a pre-scheduled detail, and I’m
not exactly sure what information you would need:

Date: 7/13/2024
Tactical Team Deployment Type: Dignitary Protection w/ counterassault
and sniper deployments Event Details: Presidential Candidate Rally
Event Location : Butler Farm Show Grounds
Staging Location: 121 Sparks Ave, Butler PA 16001, Butler Township FD
Arrival Time: 0900
Expected End Time: 1830 (Region assets will be released as soon as it
is operationally feasible, Butler ESU assets will expect to remain
later)

Beaver County: Butler County ESU is requesting assistance from Beaver
County ESU, specifically their armor asset, manpower, and tactical
equipment as determined by operational needs.

Washington County: Butler County ESU is requesting assistance from
Washington County SWAT, specifically with manpower and tactical
equipment as determined by operational needs.

If you do need further information just let me know, and I will get
whatever you need! Thank you!
We have more than 25 FOIA and open records currently pending on the
shooting of Trump with the Biden administration and local and state
officials and agencies in Pennsylvania.

Expect several FOIA lawsuits soon (see below!)

FBI REFUSES TO RELEASE TRUMP ASSASSINATION RECORDS

The FBI withheld information
[[link removed]]
in our FOIA request about its coordination with the Secret Service
regarding the July 13 Butler, Pennsylvania, rally at which former
President Trump was shot.

In denying our FOIA request, the FBI cites FOIA exemption 7(A)
[[link removed]],
which applies to information
that “could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement
proceedings”

Our request on July 26 asked for:

All records of the FBI, including emails, email chains, email
attachments, text messages, video or audio recordings, photographs,
drawings, outlook calendars, meeting minutes, finished intelligence
products, bulletins, raw intelligence, threat products,
correspondence, statements, letters, memoranda, reports, briefings,
presentations, notes, summaries, or other form of record, regarding
preparation and coordination with the USSS for former President Donald
Trump’s presidential campaign rally that was held in Butler, PA, on
July 13, 2024. Please provide records from June 15, 2024, to
present.
We are pursuing the next steps in preparation for litigation.

Were there others involved in the assassination attempt on Trump? If
not, then why would the FBI use the excuse of protecting someone’s
right to a fair trial to hide records on the FBI’s and Secret
Service’s inexcusable failures to protect Trump from being nearly
assassinated. The Biden-Harris administration is running a major
league cover-up on the near assassination of former President Trump.

The Secret Service also recently refused
[[link removed]]
to honor
FOIA requests for information on the shooting.

(In July we filed a FOIA lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against the Department of Homeland Security for records relating to an
incident at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in which a Secret Service
agent assigned to protect Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly got
into a scuffle with colleagues.

In June we received 116 pages
[[link removed]]
of Secret Service records from the Department of Homeland Security
that reveal the details about several incidents in which Secret
Service personnel were bitten by President Biden’s dog Commander,
sometimes requiring medical attention.

In October 2022 we sued
[[link removed]]
the Department of
Homeland Security for all communications of the U.S. Secret Service
internally and with the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding the
raid on President Trump’s home and for any video or audio recordings
made during the raid on August 8, 2022.)

SOROS SPENDS $117 MILLION TO ELECT, CONTROL LEFTIST COUNTY PROSECUTORS

One reason our streets aren’t safe is the soft-on-crime prosecutors
supported by George Soros. Our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog reports
