If the rifle was on the floor when the first shot rang out the agent would have had to react instantly, pick it up, take the safety off, STAND UP, (otherwise he shoots the windshield out of his own car) and fire the gun in the opposite direction of where he should have been looking.
Sorry. The bullshit is too deep with that one and has been noted, no one saw anything...even the other Secret Service Agents in or on the car. If you fire a rifle that close to someone's ears they will hear it.
I can attest to this. Anyone without hearing protection forward of the plane perpendicular to the muzzle is going to know it. Not only that, but there will be forensic evidence to gather - most notably but not limited to, an empty shell casing.
Yet, there is no forensic evidence, or any remotely conclusive testimony that I am aware of that says that *anyone* in the Secret Service detail fired a shot that day. Just some dude with questionable credentials and an opinion.
It takes a lot more than than to get me interested in wasting two hours of my life.
