I'd assume they were able to recover bullets, and you could tell if it was his gun or not that fired them based on ballistics.. so planting casings makes no sense unless the the investigators are in on it.. in which case why even bother planting casings?
Crooks would have had to load his weapon with 3 (or whatever number) fewer rounds than capacity, AND used the same weapon and rounds as Nicol. Even then the ballistics research would show whether they were fired from Crooks’ weapon. The investigators would have to be in on it. Is that why they did it on the AGR building? Does Butler County get to pull rank over federal investigators?
You know George Webb has been reporting that Crooks practiced shooting at the same range as many LE? They could’ve easily grabbed a few casings from his spent ammo at the range and planted those on the roof to thwart investigators as well. Even then I assume local LE is covering up. Maybe that’s why SS is silent - they really have egg on their face. They are probably too trusting of other LE and it creates holes in security, like this. Then again there could be a few there totally in on it. Wouldn’t take that many.
On reconsidering, I guess it could makes sense. If government actors are in on it, it would be foolish to believe every single person there would be in on it. So surreptitiously planting casings would be a good idea so you don't get whistleblowers coming forward saying they saw no casings

Do ballistics work on hypersonic rifle rounds? They fragment and splatter into tiny shards...
The cases need to match the number of shots,or their is stone cold proof of another shooter.
And not a single investigator has come out and verified "Yes, the shells ALL came from Crooks' gun"
You know, kind of an important detail, in an assassination attempt!
