4. From what I remember of the original video, Trump wasn't moved until

Secret Service audibly called "clear," which happened after the shooter was killed. In this new video it looks to me as if the photographers were allowed into the space after that happened. And of course they were going to want access to that space -- they're news photographers. It's not every day you get to photograph an assassination attempt on the president.

It looked like even though they had called "clear" the guy behind the photographers was trying to shield them while they got their shots.

And let's be honest, if they hadn't been allowed to take those pictures, the conspiracy theory would be, "This is a presidential campaign event, how come nobody got any pictures, hmm? Why were photographers prevented from taking pictures?"
