He went through security with rangefinder! And they let him in.

“By 3 p.m. on Saturday, roughly three hours before the shooting, Crooks was at the security screening area for the rally. He first aroused suspicion when he passed through the magnetometers carrying a rangefinder, which looks similar to a small pair of binoculars and is used by hunters and target shooters to measure distances when setting up a long-range shot, according to a senior law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.”

The peripheral evidence of an abandoned narrative/unexpected outcome is most compelling to me:

1. Nikki Haley invitation to the RNC announced ½ hour before assassination attempt. Afterward, a media deluge of reports that she was "invited by Trump". A Sikh prayer is featured there two days later. Haley reiterates clearly during her address, that she was personally invited by Trump.

2. Media is unusually non-committal amongst other subdued oddities, like live coverage of a relatively minor rally by major outlets, and the presence of BBC reporters at the scene. A MSM memo is leaked that confirms coordination in downplaying the attempt and limiting reporting or commentary on it

3. Two patsies are presented through unknown channels, one Antifa, one not. FBI eventually confirms the non-antifa individual while information on the Antifa suspect is scrubbed.

4. Trump Media shorted sharply in the week leading up to the event, causing some to speculate foreknowledge.

This suggests not only that the outcome was unplanned, but that it was planned with unusual haste.
