Maybe I’m wrong but I believe we’re almost as bad as circa 1975 USSR..

The Butler police had delivered special frequency phones for all the secret service to pick up at the command post so they could all communicate with each other. The secret service didn’t do it even after being notified two days ahead of the rally.

When you’re into doing a hit on a former president you want as few eyes and ears on the scene as possible - just enough to try and make the numbers seem half way plausible.

The reason the SS “failed” in Butler is because Trump wasn’t killed. They would appear to be enemy, at least at the higher levels.

Trump needs to win the election and then have everyone polygraphed per their terms of employment. Those that fail go straight to Gitmo. The rest will resign.

That’s called draining the swamp.

Somewhere, a conversation like this took place between senior personnel in the Secret Service and some shady character(s), probably also in government.

SS: No, I’m sorry we can’t do that. Our oath is to protect. But what I can do is make sure that we don’t have all the high ground covered, that we make sure to have our communications and local law enforcement communications on separate channels, and that we’ll have inexperienced agents on the ground. What you do with that information is none of my business.

Freee-dame ~ I don't think that the Secret Service did the shooting, but they clearly left open the opportunity for an unbalanced person.

TalBlack ~ That's a distinction without a difference.

Is it? If you were planning an assassination, would you go through all the reductions in coverage, "confusion" in responsibilities, the careful neglect of the prime sniper location, and so on, and so on...

...only to leave it to chance that a random unbalanced person would find the gaping hole in the security and just happen to have a ladder to the top of the air-conditioner, and a rifle he's just sighted in at the same range DHS and the local cops used.

They said they did not deny requests for additional manpower.

There were no requests, because agents were ordered to not make any.

Typical bureaucratic game.

Secret Service was probably following orders from higher up. Mayorkas had rejected additional protection for Trump on the grounds that he was not yet officially the nominee. Probably Biden made the call.

actually they could have covered the rooftop or arranged for the Butler police to cover it. They could have established communication with the local cops. None of this would have needed more people.

Some of these people are scapegoats (not the one who was in charge and duh didn't do basic protection). And the investigation was done by an anti Trumpster...

Americans assume those in charge have our best interests in mind. They do not. I would love to see Kennedy support Trump and become CIA Director.

Secret Service is part of Dept of Homeland Security now headed by Alejandro Mayorkas, a Biden appointee.

So the order could have come from Biden. Jill, Kamala. They are all filthy.

My guess is the SS Pittsburg field office agents were throttled by higher ups and are now getting thrown under the bus.

With the election coming on and the far-left turd rollers becoming more desperate thinking about the presidential nominee and banana salesman impressing only the “media” and the elitist liberal woodies, I wouldn’t allow my children to go to public schools until they school grounds are covered with armed guards. The libs are getting desperate and they will do whatever it takes to win.

Yes, this is almost certainly how it was done.

The lead Secret Service agent in charge of planning the security deployments is absolutely culpable, along with every person in the chain of command above him.

Every one of them should be dismissed immediately at a minimum.

More appropriately, every one of them should be taken to Gitmo and waterboarded until they tell everything they know. Afterwards, they should be executed.

"Innocent until proven guilty?" That restraint on government power and abuse has long faded into a golden past time of myth and legend. The Deep State does not play by those rules. Neither should we.
