| Bill Ackman tweets then deletes wild claim about Trump assassination | ||
| 2024-07-22 | ||
The investor shared a video arguing the narrative of Thomas Matthew Crooks being a 'lone gunman' is '100 percent provably false.' The clip was created by Dr Chris Martenson,
Martenson analyzed audio from the rally to suggest that a second shooter was operating alongside Crooks to assassinate Trump. The second shooter, he claims, was around 100ft away from Crooks' rooftop location. He presented audio clips which he claims show that in addition to the shots fired by Crooks and that fired by the sniper who killed Crooks, there were other shots with a distinct audio signature, indicating a third shooter. Ackman retweeted the clip, saying it 'makes a highly credible case that there were at least two shooters/assassins who attempted to kill' Donald Trump. The billionaire hedged his wild theory with the comment: 'I have no expertise in this field. None. I welcome further analysis and rebuttal.' He removed the post and moments later, he quickly shared another that included 'an extremely impressive rebuttal to the multiple shooter theory.' Martenson, who created the video which Ackman reposted, holds a PhD and defended his theory of a second shooter on X by saying: 'I am a gun nerd. 'I reload, have spent many hours at the range, gotten lots of gun training, and shot well over 250,000 rounds from pistols and many different caliber rifles over the course of the past 40 years. And I have common sense, which is the key.' The Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement have not made any mention of a second shooter since the assassination attempt on Saturday, July 13. But a CNN article published on July 15 reported there were as many as three weapons fired at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

| #3 Martenson Video My opinion after watching it is that I probably should watch it again, if I found the time. Martenson points out that it's only a preliminary analysis, especially when it comes to the second group of five or six shots, which he suspects involved two separate weapons - he says those would need expert analysis. Much of his work involves examining the precise delays between the supersonic shocks and the shot reports. One thing that I would like to know is how many shots the USSS fired. I think Mortenson is saying "one", at the end. If that's in fact the case, then it does appear there's a possibility there were two shooters involved. Watch for yourselves. |
