If they were there why would they not be deployed? Sounds like BS, it isn't like that spot hadn't been identified as a potential danger and if they were there and getting paid, why not just do their job?
Every sniper I saw was wearing black. The shooter was wearing gray.
Also, no sniper would be using an AR-15 and I'm sure those guys know what one looks like.
ETA: OK, they had snipers in the building and a cop that saw the shooter that either climbed down a ladder or jumped off his partner's shoulders. Meanwhile people outside were taking videos of the shooter seeming sus.

You mean you'll only accept the story that resonates with your echo chamber?
One of the snipers stationed inside the building reportedly first saw Crooks outside and looking up to the roof of the building before the suspect left the scene. Crooks later came back and sat down while looking at his phone near the building. CBS News reported that a sniper took a photo of the suspect when he returned.
Crooks then took out a rangefinder and the sniper who spotted him "radioed to the command post" about the suspect's actions. Crooks then disappeared again and returned to the building with a backpack. Secret Service snipers again alerted their command post about Crooks' actions.
According to the source who spoke with CBS News, Crooks had already climbed to the top of the building in question by the time additional officers arrived at the scene for backup. The suspect also positioned himself "above and behind the snipers inside the building."
ABC host George Stephanopoulos said Sunday on “This Week” that Donald Trump and his supporters have contributed to “violent rhetoric” while discussing yesterday’s assassination attempt on the former president. Stephanopoulos said, “Of course, President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well.”

Speaking of Jill's "sudden need to campaign" near Trump's rally, why did she schedule a campaign at the last minute? Wtf position is she running for?
That ☝️ is the real question that needs attention.
