Jeffrey Prather: Signs of "inside job" in July 2024 Trump shooting highlight government collusion and security failures

Jeffrey Prather, a former intelligence analyst, alleges that the July 2024 attack on President Donald Trump was an "inside job" orchestrated by U.S. government entities, citing intentional Secret Service failures like ignoring rooftop security protocols and rejecting drone surveillance despite prior warnings about drone reconnaissance by the suspect.
Key anomalies include a counter-sniper team's 16-second delay in responding to the shooter, inconsistencies in shot audio and physical evidence (e.g., Crooks' rifle found distant from his body), and poor agent performance claiming inadequate training. Body cam footage and missing bullet trajectories further cast doubt on the official narrative.
Prather questions Crooks' sole responsibility, noting his home showed forensic sterilization (e.g., missing silverware) and suggesting he may have been manipulated by handlers offering covert patriotic roles. The unproven claim of "improvised explosives" in his car is dismissed as a possible "terrorist" narrative ploy to bury the case.
Suspicions extend to international involvement, including a blurred figure near a water tower and timed global IT outages by CrowdStrike possibly obscuring the truth. Prather highlights overlapping sniper teams and buried satellite evidence, paralleling historical cover-ups like Waco to obscure government overreach.

Renowned intelligence analyst Jeffrey Prather has unveiled damning evidence suggesting the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump was an "inside job" orchestrated by entities within the U.S. government. Prather dissected the attack's inconsistencies during an appearance on the "Health Ranger Report" with the Health Ranger Mike Adams. The former analyst revealed systemic failures by the Secret Service and potential involvement of classified surveillance, all signaling a covert operation gone awry. Prather, who formerly worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Defense Intelligence Agency, emphasized that critical red flags point to intentional negligence rather than incompetence. The Secret Service failed to coordinate with local law enforcement, bypassing standard protocols such as aerial surveillance and drone oversight. A key oversight meeting with Butler, Pennsylvania, police the day of the event was reportedly ignored, a glaring breach that "no legitimate protection detail would overlook." Prather noted that Secret Service protocols require securing rooftops within a 300-yard radius, yet the suspect's vantage point on the American Glass Research building was left unsecured – raising suspicions of deliberate neglect.

Technical failures and suspicious responses

Prather highlighted the counter-sniper team's inexplicable 16-second delay in responding to the shooter on the roof — a time span he called "unforgivable" for trained personnel. Audio analysis detected eight shots, with the final round (likely from Secret Service) killing Thomas Matthew Crooks. However, the retired Special Operations soldier questioned why Crooks' rifle was found seven feet from his body, suggesting interference or a staged scene. Body cam footage and the absence of visible bullet trajectories from the alleged shooter’s location also cast doubt on the official narrative. Prather noted that the behavior of agents on the stage was bizarre, citing their reluctance to remove Trump despite the threat. Moreover, Prather lambasted Trump's understaffed detail – comprising agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) – as lacking the combat readiness of traditional Secret Service teams. "I've never even worked with an HSI 1811. They didn't exist in my day, really much, as far as I know," Prather told Adams, mentioning the code for special agent. "But their protection skills were really bad. They were really slow."

The suspect's mysterious role: Crooks an unwitting patsy?

Prather doubts Crooks acted alone, positing he may have been an unwitting "patsy." The suspect's home allegedly showed signs of forensic sterilization, including missing silverware — items crucial for fingerprinting. (Related: Trump shooter’s home scrubbed clean like “medical lab” – no silverware, trash anywhere to be found.) The author and former whistleblower speculated Crooks could have been manipulated by handlers promising covert patriotic duty. Prather stated that young men might be lured by the fantasy of intelligence work along with promises of national importance. The discovery of "improvised explosives" in Crooks' trunk – a claim unsubstantiated by visible evidence – was also dismissed as a probable cover to invoke a "terrorist" narrative, allowing the case to be classified and buried. A blurred figure spotted near a water tower and police queries regarding the structure's security raised concerns about a secondary shooter. Prather suggested overlapping sniper teams, possibly including international actors, designed to complicate the investigation. Additionally, the timing of CrowdStrike's global IT outage – occurring days post-incident – was deemed suspicious, possibly aimed at diverting attention from public outrage over Trump's survival and his defiant "fight" rallying cry. Prather likened the incident to historical manipulations like the 1993 Waco siege, where evidence was destroyed to avoid accountability. While official investigations may dismiss the attack as a lone-wolf act, Prather urged citizen analysts to continue scrutinizing details pointing out that the system learns from its past failures and will bury the truth unless public pressure can expose it. Prather's analysis underscores a transgressing intelligence community, where even minor security lapses can scale into catastrophic attempts to destabilize political rivals.
