The man who shot Donald Trump on July 13 left two men with life-altering injuries: James Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 57.
The shooter also killed firefighter Corey Comperatore.
Joseph Feldman, attorney at the Law Offices of Max C. Feldman, told Fox News that Copenhaver and Dutch want to hold those responsible for security accountable:
“I think we’re going to get to the bottom of that here at some point, whether that’s through the [congressional] task force, through these investigations or if we do have to file a lawsuit. We’ll definitely get answers through that process,” Joseph Feldman, attorney at the Law Offices of Max C. Feldman, told Fox News Digital Monday. His office is exploring “different avenues” to get accountability after the shooting that forever altered his clients’ lives.—Both victims have lingering questions about how gunman Thomas Crooks was able to get onto the roof of the nearby one-story, American Glass Research (AGR) building and shoot at Trump about 150 yards from the candidate’s podium. The building was located near the rally but technically not within the official perimeter.”[W]e’re the United States of America,” Feldman said. “We pump tons of money into security resources in this country, especially dealing with the federal government. And you go to a rally to provide political support for a politician … the security is provided by the federal government, and it fails.”
How could the shooter fly a drone close to the location of the rally on that same day and yet the government said agents couldn’t fly their drones due to connectivity problems?
No one shut down the airspace?
Why don’t we know anything about the shooter? What was on his phone? How about his computer? Where did he get his materials?
Rally attendees saw the shooter on the roof and tried to warn people but nothing happened.
Feldman added:
“Not everything you say to your leadership goes directly to the top. And even if you know something’s going on, sometimes you know you’re not allowed to do anything about it, or you don’t have those orders. So, I’m curious,” Feldman said. “I served in Afghanistan for just right around a year, and we … ran hundreds of thousands of miles of missions. And nobody ever got that close to you.”—“How do you get on a roof in an open field with people yelling that somebody’s getting on a roof, with snipers … adjacent to them. … And you don’t see him until he pops off his first round? That’s their job. That’s why they’re there. Secret Service isn’t there to listen to Donald Trump’s speech or his stats on immigration,” Feldman said.
Comperatore’s widow has retained a lawyer to find answers about the lack of security at the rally:
“I talk to him [Corey] anyway, and the only thing that ever comes out of my mouth is, ‘I’m sorry that this happened to you,’” Helen said. “But I know he would want me to get to the bottom of this. I know he would.”To get answers about what happened, Helen Comperatore has hired an attorney.“I want justice for my husband, and I’m going to get it,” she said.They specifically want answers from security at the rally.“I just want them to know that I really think my dad’s blood is on their hands, and I hope they wake up every day thinking about what they took from our family,” Kaylee said. “Because we have to wake up every day and see that image of our father in our head, and no child should ever have to see that.”
