The sniper had a clear shot for 3 minutes he said. Per eyewitness that's the time Crooks was on the roof. Sniper can't take a shot without approval which did not come. That's because nobody had taken a shot at a presidential candidate in a long time. And, think about it. It's a Trump rally. Shooting the guy without a shot fired would have handed Dems raw meat.

Normally snipers take 2-6 seconds to pull a trigger. From these basic facts, we know that the sniper had Crooks targeted and had pulled his trigger part way.
