A new poll out Thursday found an overwhelming majority of Americans say the Secret Service bears some responsibility for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump last month.

According to the Associated Press survey, 7 in 10 Americans believe “the Secret Service bears at least a moderate amount of responsibility for the assassination attempt” with 4 in 10 believing the agency “bears a high level of responsibility.”

They were clearly complicit in the assassination attempt.

Sad and disappointing numbers in my view. They should be much higher.

Crooks was too unstable and unprofessional to trust with the job.

I think that's mostly true depending on what you mean by "trust". And involvement from a Secret Service agent need not be part of a large conspiracy, the conspiracy could be fairly small.

But IF there's Secret Service involvement, it almost has to involve the on-site supervisor. That's why I'd like to see/hear all communications to and from this person, (who has not yet been relieved of duties).

Imagine a possibly small group wanting to kill Trump and the on-site supervisor is one of them. The leader of the group might say to the on-site supervisor, "We've found a patsy willing to do the job. We've shown him that he might be able to get on the roof of a nearby building and we've told him we won't cover that building and so go ahead and try. So, don't cover THAT building, and don't approve a kill shot until the patsy has taken at least one shot. Maybe we'll get lucky."

I still believe th Deep State didn’t plan it but when they became aware of the plan they let it happen.

If Merchan sentences Trump to jail, Trump can not depend on the Secret Service to protect him there.

Would they risk all the negatives surrounding an attempt, if they weren’t fairly confident it would be successful?
