partitioning disk error
when I get to the partitioning disk part of the bootcamp process, the blue bar which shows the progress of the partitioning goes full and does not change.

Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 10. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers. Please see thesample Q&A as an example. These steps can be repeated if you make a mistake before you get to Step 12, otherwise start from Step 1 for these steps. Step 6 has numbers which are typed with a space between the numbers. Please see the sample Q&A before you execute these steps.
Here is sample Q&A for this section. Please notice the Press Enter/Return.
Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y
Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): Press Enter/Return
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N
Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Press Enter/Return
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y
Post the output of
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
for validation.

... and if BCA was run after this cleanup, it would show higher disk space. Is BCA still partitioning?

In a previous post you mentioned macOS Catalina, which is 10.15.x, while macOS High Sierra is 10.13.x. macOS Mojave is 10.14.x.
and how do I make a FAT (or exFAT) partition

The TM UI says 'when disk is connected', which implies that it is an external disk.
Can you post the output of
sudo tmutil destinationinfo
The output should be similar to
sudo tmutil destinationinfo

I removed all the snapshots but bootcamp assistant is still unresponsive.
yes
the screenshot was just after I deleted the local snapshots and before I did the diskutil command.
