The kid in question was a competition shooter -- varsity rifle team. I have no trouble believing that Crooks could hit a man-sized target accurately at 150yds, but a sniper he was not. A sniper would have done the smart thing and aimed for center-mass, or else would have accounted for wind factor before taking the first shot.
I don't believe there was a second shooter -- I believe that the Deep State fully intended on killing the would-be assassin whether he made the shot or missed, but had no direct contact with the kid. Supposedly Crooks posted a video about planning to shoot Trump, but afaiaa the post was deleted, presumably to scrub the evidence of premeditation, and depending on when the video was made would have given the Deep State an opportunity to create a security gap by ensuring Trump's security detail was understaffed and reliant on the Police Department to cover the only fucking building where a competent shooter would go to make an attempt on Trump's life.

It limits the appearance of culpability. The top brass of the SS can say "oh well we needed everyone and their dog to protect Jill Biden at her event and couldn't spare any more agents" and then hide behind the distinction between a former president and a member of the first family when it comes to the agency's priorities.
Quietly leaving a gap in the security for the shooter to take advantage of is easier than having to position a backup plan, and opens the door to blame local law enforcement.

How do you come to me this belief?
