I'm drafting articles of impeachment for US District Judge Paul Engelmayer, as I believe partisan judges pose a threat to democracy. The left has caused "irreparable harm," and President Trump and his team are working to address this. I see Judge Engelmayer's actions as judicial overreach, trying to prevent White House employees from accessing systems they oversee. I question where in the Constitution it states that a President and his team cannot address waste, fraud, and abuse.

🧵 I’m drafting articles of impeachment for US District Judge Paul Engelmayer. Partisan judges abusing their positions is a threat to democracy. The left has done “irreparable harm” to this country. President Trump and his team at @DOGE are trying to fix it.
@RepEliCrane - Rep. Eli Crane
This is obviously judicial overreach. Judge Engelmayer is attempting to stop White House employees from accessing the very systems they oversee. Where in the constitution does it say a President and his team cannot root out obvious waste, fraud and abuse?

After visiting the site in Butler, this is, AT THE VERY LEAST, one of the biggest security failures in U.S. history. Even though officials are stonewalling Congress, we will continue to conduct oversight and push for answers. Huge thanks to @charliekirk11 for having me on.

Eli Crane, a former SEAL and congressman, visited Butler, Pennsylvania to investigate the security failure during a rally. He found that snipers could have been positioned on a nearby water tower and a building overlooking the site. Law enforcement failed to respond to warnings of a shooter on the roof, leading to a potential cover-up. Questions remain about the sniper response, how the shooter accessed the roof, and the possibility of a conspiracy. The investigation is ongoing.

Speaker 0: Joining us now is Eli Crane. He is a SEAL, and he knows what he's talking about. Congressman Eli Crane joins us now. Congressman, you are a sniper. You know what you're talking about here.
You also visited Butler, Pennsylvania. What did you learn?
Speaker 1: Hey, Charlie. Thanks for having me on. Yeah. I was, grateful that, Chairman Green hosted a trip to, Butler, Pennsylvania for several members of the Homeland Security Committee this last Monday. It was a bipartisan trip.
Starting with getting out of the SUV, Charlie, stepping foot in the parking lot, doing a quick assessment of where we're at in the, the grounds. And I noticed immediately that there was a massive towering water tower, located near the buildings that we were set to walk over to and overlooking the grounds. And as I walked through the fields, walked over to the buildings, got up on the roof where the shooter was, I couldn't help but notice that this, water tower kept getting closer and had a 360 degree view over almost the entire property. And, when we I I brought a laser rangefinder with me, lays the water tower. I think it was about a 160, yards from the roof where the shooter took his shots, you know, supposedly.
And then, I also noticed in getting up on that roof and several other members getting up on that roof as well, one of them, a 70 year old man from Florida named, mister Jimenez, who walked right up that roof no problem. And, you know, it, easily debunks, the director of a homeland or excuse me, Secret Service. Her entire narrative the week before that they couldn't put snipers up on that route because it was too sloped. And so then we went into the, building behind it, the 2 story building, which many of us saw on, the Internet, and we're wondering if that had coverage over that roof. And, the owner of that building let us in there.
We walked up. He showed us where he believed that the law enforcement officers had set up, because of the air conditioning in those offices. And many of us took a video out out the window. And sure enough, those offices had perfect 100% coverage of that roof. And so it made many of us question if these, you know, law enforcement secret service had access to that building, that second story roof, and they had officers in there at one point.
We believe that's where they took the picture of the shooter with his rangefinder. Why weren't they able to dispatch the shooter once, rally goers, people that weren't in charge of security, people that weren't supposed to be looking for threats to the president were yelling and screaming, hey. There's a shooter on the roof. Young man with no camouflage on a white roof, sticking out clear as day. Why weren't they able to spot this individual, and why weren't they able to dispatch him?
And so we still have a lot of questions, Charlie, but I can tell you after visiting the site that this is, at the very least, one of the biggest colossal security failures in, US history.
Speaker 0: Well, it's it's hard for me to grasp part of this because sequence of failures is almost too good to be true. It's like a 1 in 5,000,000,000 chance that you don't have the building guarded. You don't have drone support. You don't have helicopter. So you're let's just 0 in on the sniper aspect of this.
So Yep. Crooks is able to fire off a couple rounds, and then he is shot almost immediately. When did the sniper team actually see him, get him into scope, and why did they allow Donald Trump to take the stage?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Charlie, we don't have those, answers yet. Myself and, congressman Biggs from Arizona, we put forth a resolution this week to turn over communications, documents from the Department of Homeland Security. So our investigation continues. And as you saw earlier this week with the Director of Secret Service, obviously, there's a lot of questions that they don't even claim to have answers to, or they're trying to stonewall congress, which is pretty typical up here. So I think it's gonna take a lot to get to the bottom of it.
I know that speaker Johnson is forming, you know, a task force. I'm hoping that, you know, that task force, actually does something, but, you know, we'll we'll we'll see. We'll we'll have to wait and see on that.
Speaker 0: So so okay. Then we don't know the sniper response. It just doesn't make any sense to me that the snipers how are they able to get a shot off so quickly to neutralize him, but they weren't able to do that 10 seconds before? That makes no sense to me at all. Secondly, how did Crooks get on the roof?
Speaker 1: Yeah. So when we were there, we were told by the individual who owned the building. He showed us, where he was told that the individual made access to the roof, and it looked like he crawled up. You know, if you look at that building on a topographical or aerial map, what you'll see is that building is it's it's got multiple buildings connected to it and several buildings behind it that were all connected. There were a couple air conditioners and a very low roof, and that's where many law enforcement individuals believe that he actually climbed up on those air conditioning units and then used some piping on the side of the building and not a ladder.
And I do believe that director Ray, confirmed, that that's their belief at this time. And I do know, Charlie, that the owner of that building did tell us, hey. They they removed the top of that air conditioning unit over there and showed it to us, and took it to look at forensics to see if maybe they could get a footprint or a bootprint
Speaker 0: or something like that. So let me get this straight. He climbs on an air conditioning unit, gets on the roof with a rifle, and nobody notices it?
Speaker 1: Well, that's what, we're we're expected to believe at this time, Charlie.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I just again, I'm I'm a layman. You're you're you're an expert here. Lots of people noticed and they were screaming. And what did law enforcement do between the MAGA faithful screaming and him army crawling uninterrupted?
Why why did the police not intervene?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, like I said, we don't have any definitives yet, Charlie, but we did have a colonel lieutenant colonel of, the Pennsylvania State Police before the Homeland Security Committee yesterday. He was asked a very similar question in regards to the law enforcement individuals in that building behind the shooter's roof that had the second story. And he what what he passed along to us was his understanding was, that as soon as they, the call came over the radio about this suspicious suspect, the individuals from that second story left their post and went down and looked for this individual. And so if that's true, we need to find out who gave the order for them to leave their post, you know, why did they leave their post instead of sending rovers?
We were told that there were rovers, law enforcement individuals that rove around and can do tasks like that. And so we we have a lot of, answers that we need, and, unfortunately, at this time, we don't have them.
Speaker 0: So do you believe that there's an active cover up to prevent you guys from getting the information that you need?
Speaker 1: I believe, at the very least, based on what I've seen so far and then gone and investigated for myself that, there is an attempt to gaslight the American people. And, I mean, you need look no further than the director of the Secret Service saying that we couldn't put snipers on that roof because it was too sloped. I found that to be a complete lie, And like I said, many of us walked right up on top of that roof. No problem. And so, like I said, at the very least, Charlie, this was a, you know, massive security failure that we haven't seen in decades, but I don't think many of us would be surprised to start peeling back the layers of it and see if see that there was actually more to it than just a 20 year old kid with no military experience who flew a drone for 60 to 70 minutes to do a site, you know, survey, got up within 150 yards, 140 yards of the President with an AR-fifteen with you know, 0 camouflage when the individuals in charge with security, didn't even assume the most obvious counter sniper positions.
Speaker 0: Well, yeah, in the middle of the day, the day too, a 130 yards away, and you still let Trump take the stage? Yeah. Look. I I hope it's incompetence, but my instinct tells me that it's something else. I'll just be honest.
My instinct says that there's something potentially darker here. Let me read this here. So Chuck Grassley's been doing a good job. He got new body cam footage from local law enforcement. And according to this body cam footage, quote, Beaver County snipers saw him and sent the pictures out.
This is him. They were not surprised, congressman, that when they went up to him, like, oh, yeah. This is the guy. So they identified him as a potential threat. They knew that he was a potential threat.
They allowed the rally to go on. They ignored the clamoring of the Trump faithful that saw a shooter on the roof. And Donald Trump got shot. An innocent person was killed because of this. Ana Paulina Luna said that she, received a briefing where she no longer believes that he acted alone.
Can you give us some insight into that?
Speaker 1: You know, Ana Paulina Luna is on, different committees than I am. I did not receive a briefing that so far has led me to conclude the same thing. So I, you know, I can't I can't speak to that, but I did when questioning the lieutenant colonel of the Pennsylvania State Police yesterday, I did ask him if he understood that many Americans believe that, you know, this was more than just a lone wolf shooter, and there was a conspiracy going on here. And he said he couldn't comment on what, you know, the American people think. And then I went through that list as to why the American people have a tough time believing that so many things could have gone wrong in addition to the fact that you know, the Democrat party has and, you know, even this administration has weaponized the DOJ, tried to bankrupt the president, tried to put him in jail for 750 years.
No. They can't beat him fair and square. And we're we're seeing that across the board with things that they're doing in elections right now. And so, you know, we're not gonna we can't ignore that, you know, information, Charlie, that that we know. I mean, I know I've talked to you before.
I know you probably didn't believe that the Democrat party with the lineup that they have running the platform that they have running against the president that can, you know, galvanize, you know, record numbers of people all over the country that they could beat in fair and square. And so many of us have been saying for a long time, many, many, many months that the president better have a solid secret security detail because there's the next the next step in this escalation is an assassination attempt. And if you know many of the people up here in Washington DC, unfortunately, the one thing that they care about more than anything, Charlie, is power. And there is a guy that stands in the way of, you know, them having that right now, and nobody stands in the way of the swamp and what the establishment That's right. Cartel would call it than president Donald Trump.
Speaker 0: They missed Trump, so they took out Biden. Eli Crane, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Charlie.

I’m on the roof of the building in Butler, PA where shots were fired in an attempt to assassinate President Trump. As a former Navy SEAL sniper, it was clear to me that many security measures were dropped making Pres. Trump extremely vulnerable. Many questions still remain. https://t.co/p2EhBTFg1M

I'm at the building where the supposed sniper took a shot. It's not steep, a 7-year-old could climb up easily. Secret Service should have been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. The president was speaking from the stage behind me. There are questions in Butler, but we will investigate to ensure it never happens again.
Translation: I am at the building where the alleged sniper shot from. It's not very steep, even a 7-year-old could climb up easily. Secret Service should have been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. The president was speaking from the stage behind me.

Speaker 0: Hi, guys. I'm up here on the building where the, suppose the sniper took a shot. It's not that steep at all. Just had a 7 year old man back here climb up on the, on the roof easily. See that water tower behind me?
Had secret service or anybody had sniper teams up there, this guy wouldn't have made it, 5 feet up this roof. He would have been taken out. Behind me, you see the windows that, Secret Service was supposedly in the 2nd floor of this building behind. Makes you wonder why they, weren't able to quickly dispatch the individual. And then behind me, back over here where those red roofs are, that's where the stage was set up.
That's where the president was giving a speech from. Lot of questions here in Butler. But we look forward to doing oversight and, getting to the bottom of it and making sure it never happened to
