The greatest threat to Donald Trump

How on Earth does this woman still have her job? It’s no longer incompetence. What happened was literally dereliction of duty.

Thomas Crooks posted an ominous warning prior to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump

Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks wrote a chilling online message that hinted at sinister plans for the day he shot up the former president’s Butler, Pa., rally over the weekend.

“July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” the 20-year-old gunman allegedly wrote on Steam, a popular online platform where gamers communicate, Fox News reported.

The foreshadowing was revealed to US senators during a briefing by top law enforcement officials Wednesday.

This has happened before but it’s hard to say someone should have connected it to what transpired. Other issues were not so problematic.

Crooks was spotted at least 50 minutes before the shooting.

The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and the FBI told lawmakers Wednesday that former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin was identified well before shots rang out at the Pennsylvania rally, according to sources familiar with the briefing.

Federal law enforcement held the briefing with lawmakers to go over specifics of the shooting that nearly killed Trump on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. During the call, USSS and FBI officials stated that the gunman, later identified as Thomas Crooks, was noticed about an hour before the shooting, or approximately 50 minutes before Trump took the stage to address the crowd, according to two sources familiar with the briefing.

He was roaming around freely on his bike:
Would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks rode his bicycle around the former president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — and ditched it in full view of cops and a crowd before he climbed on top of a roof and opened fire, law enforcement sources and witnesses confirmed to The Post.

Exclusive photos showed the gunman’s bike parked beneath a tree just yards away from the building where he fired up to eight shots, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a hero firefighter and wounding two other supporters.

A witness first noticed the bike at 5:30 p.m. — when Crooks was busy scoping out the perfect spot and more than 40 minutes before he fired gunshots.

The “slope” being an excuse not to station an agent on the neighboring roof is plain stupid. But this is absolutely unforgivable:

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says all 100 U.S. senators joined in on a call with Secret Service and FBI officials to discuss protocols surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Trump.

According to the Republican, the officials spent a majority of the call “filibustering.”

“It was a 45-minute briefing and they spent 30 minutes just filibustering, walking through all the things they did that day; walking through a detailed timeline of every other factor of what they did in the field, what they did on the stage, what they did backstage — everything except how they didn’t stop a man with a rifle from shooting the former president,” Cruz said on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

He added: “That detail they just omitted.”

Cruz also called for the head of the U.S. Secret Service, Director Kimberly Cheatle, to resign. He also said President Biden should fire her “yesterday.”

“How on Earth does this woman still have her job? It’s no longer incompetence. What happened was literally dereliction of duty.”

I think her involvement is far more nefarious than dereliction of duty.

She is an affirmative action hire, like the racist SCOTUS judge BeijingBiden put there. She is also a personal choice of the fake doctor in the WHouse.

DEI was implemented. This is the result. Always.

You’re right and in my experience, you also qualify if you have dirt under your fingenails, hardware on your face, purple hair, and the IQ of your average tree slug,....etc.

What must freak agents is this guy randomly picked a spot, just like the assasin of Archduke Ferdinand, random event that jusy popped up.

All that NSA evesdropping stuff was useless here.
Guys on the ground ready to go.

Cost of freedom. Worth it. If only we’d pushed our God-given right to free speech and assembly these last 24 years, people would not be thinking this way. Patriot act...obama....covid...biden. we did it.

I may be new to this forum, but even a blind man can see the assassination attempt was not due to a lack of oversight, coordination, manpower, or foresight. It was planned, approved and endorsed by the Deep State and the elitists. However, now those very same people and entities are muddying the waters with countless idiotic ideas about what could have happened.

Bullocks! It was a planned and coordinated assassination plot and it failed, but nothing will come of it and nobody will be held accountable.

It’s really unbelievable she has not already resigned. People , or maimed and injured and Trump almost got his head blown off. And she is still on the job?
