@HealthRanger It took quite a few "experts" to figure out that Crooks was the lone shooter, according to you, because of the rifle and the placement of its optics. If that is true, and I don't think it is, where does a 20 year old with no military background get the expertise to figure out that he would have to sight his target in the prone position with a 90 angle optic, shoot off three rounds, take a couple of seconds to reposition himself, and then shoot in a normal prone position the remaining five rounds?

One thing puzzles me is that before the first agent that got on the roof, a helicopter video showed the prone corps of Crooks and his blood running down that "dangerously sloped roof" with the rifle about 7+ feet to his left. I don't believe that anyone took the gun from the body of Crooks and placed it 7 feet away. How did the rifle get placed in that position?

How did he know enough to get all the right gear for the optics and attach them on the gun of a rifle that was bought by his dad, off the shelf, only a few months before unless he was coached?

I believe that he had a handler maybe from Blackrock, the FBI, CIA, etc. Remember, according to Christopher Wray, Crooks' cell phone history, he was visited by someone unknown (device) at his home and then in Washington, DC. The device in DC was near the FBI Headquarters, which is currently shuttered. So the FBI had to find another building to operate from, which could be the building where the device was traced to.
