One thing everyone is missing here:
Why did they change the Campo-hero narrative?
Maybe because of Campo.
Maybe Campo didn't want to carry the lie. He might have threatened to come clean.
Or!
They changed the Campo--hero narrative when and if the hotel refused to backup the FBI timeline. If they refused to capitulate to the FBI's timeline, the FBI had no choice but to change the story.

Good freakin Lord... How much more can they botch this damn story! Campos, or whoever is pictured, most definitely has an injured left leg. So unless he is toughing it out and putting his weight on his bad leg then this definitely muddies the water more.
Yeah it's so weird that Hickey would specifically identify the right leg as being injured -- and he is clearly in contact with Campos, with the SPFPA 'representing' him PR-wise -- when it was actually his left leg.
Just another thing to give off the whiff of utter BS.
Kind of thinking Campos is just holding the cane in that hand in order to hold the award with his dominant hand. You can tell he is putting his weight on the cane and left leg in the pic so as to lean and keep weight off the right.

Having injured my ankles over the years playing sports I was wishing I was good playing, one has to hold the cane on the opposite side from the hurt leg. You do this to provide support to the hurt leg at the same time the other one moves. If you stand on the bad leg without help, it can be hurt worse.

This makes a lot of sense when considered with my (developing) theory:
Paddock was a small-time arms dealer, specializing in semi-legal and modified weaponry. His accounting and other positions were simply a cover; he made his money dealing arms. The Mandalay Bay was one of his meeting sites; he used the Las Vegas hotels for meeting with customers, and laundered money through the casinos. As an accountant, he would be intimately familiar with the process. His extravagance was how he gave the hotels their 'cut' of the profits, in return for their apathy.
On the night of the Las Vegas shooting, Stephen Paddock was meeting with a customer in the adjoining room to his suite. He had meticulously carried samples of the various weaponry he had access to into his room. Unbeknownst to him, his customers were not who they seemed that night. As the meeting began, Paddock had his goods on display and both parties unbolted the connecting door between the suites. During the deal, Paddock's customers at some point overpowered Paddock. Campos unfortunately showed up in the wrong pace at the wrong time, and was shot at not by Paddock, but by his customers. The management of the Mandalay Bay initially thought the shots were misfires and hesitated before calling in authorities.
Once shots had been fired, however, Paddock's customers were committed. They shot Paddock, making it look like a suicide, then broke out two windows and took aim at the crowd below: their intended mission. Taking turns, one at each window, they routinely sprayed the crowd. The cameras were there to detect anyone arriving early; they knew how long they had before the police arrived. When the police did arrive, they had already slipped out of the meeting rooms and back to other rooms already rented in the hotel. Suddenly, they became scared bystanders needing to be rescued.
Upon arrival, the police probably followed standard procedure for an active shooter. They breached the door, possibly but not definitely announcing their entry verbally, amid a hail of gunfire intended to neutralize an active armed shooter who would surely be firing back. They entered and saw Paddock, freshly dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The assumption was that, like so many other shooters, Paddock had committed suicide.
Campos is the single wild card in the story. He can make statements that will blow holes in the present version of the official story. That could open up more investigations into the story itself, and there are already a lot of conspiracy theories, like admittedly the one above, circulating.
The scary part of all this is the end result and the question of who, then, were Paddock's customers? I believe the truth is that this was a false flag operation, possibly in conjunction with foreign terrorists, designed to do exactly what it did: instill enough terror in Americans, specifically right-wing-leaning Americans such as were targeted, to re-start the gun control debate after the devastating loss in the 2016 elections.
Trump is staunchly pro-2nd amendment, and no gun control was going to get though his office without a major change in the attitude of his supporters. Attempts have been made for almost a year now to discredit Trump, demonize Trump, sabotage Trump, and destroy Trump... all to no avail. The court challenges have only delayed implementation of a new type of administration that has the ability (and desire) to use the deep state's own propaganda weaponry against them. The firing of James Comey was a more important story than even most of the ATS membership realizes; Comey was the lynch-pin in the FBI, which has not changed in its mission since the days of J. Edgar Hoover. All that information is now in the hands of the Trump administration.
This all tells me the following:
- The FBI is not clean. The corruption ran much deeper than the head offices of the department, and even access to Comey's 'private' data has not been sufficient to quickly end the corruption.
- The deep state is becoming more and more anxious and scared by the day.
- Trump's popularity is, as I suspected, growing among the population, despite what the MSM would like us to believe.
- The operation was not carried out against the US... it was carried out BY the US against its own population. If foreign terrorists were involved, it was at the invitatiuon of the deep state.
- It is appearing more and more that the deep state is not fighting ISIS and similar groups, but acually conspiring with them behind the cover of propaganda.
- We are all in danger from our own government.
I suspect Campos is either hiding because he has been informed to some degree of why he is to keep his trap shut, or he is hiding from those who masterminded the operation. He may be dead... suicide would be the best cover story, although an accident would also work.
There are dark days ahead of us.
