There’s more than one person who’s leaking this. Count on it.
No, I'm not shocked at all.
Trump needs to take up some of the offers for security he has gotten. The private detail is better vetted and tougher than breast feeding baby mommas and androgynous Pat's.
Are they threatening Trump so he either throws the “election” or else?
This shooter has DC Agency written all over him.
I've seen a couple of different articles on this. One suggestion is that Routh can't be charged with an assassination attempt because Trump is not a current federal official. The statute doesn't apply to former presidents either. That is why DeSantis jumped in to investigate attempted murder charges and other possible crimes committed by the suspect within Florida..
Put them all on administrative leave pending investigation. Hire a Mossad team for personal security.
Might I suggest using a law enforcement technique?
Identify a person(s) of interest, haul them in for questioning, hold them for as long as legally possible, in deplorable conditions, offer them immunity for ratting out their superiors.
Do it publicly, call CNN and haul them in @ 0430. Each suspect should be publicly humiliated.
Why is this all kept so secret? Expose them right now!
“Gentlemen, you’re exactly what we expect from years of Government training! Now on to the eye test.”
I read that where Routh was located is a well known spot that photographers used to take pictures of Trump when he was golfing.
Photographers have said that the SS have stopped by and asked for credentials.
Every time ? Always ? Sometimes ? Maybe ?
Trump needs to up the security on his own if need be.
Drones and dogs , between drones doing aerial views and a K-9 team walking the perimeter, either would have picked up Routh .
Cheap ,easy , immediately effective, what the hell is wrong here ?
Cheap and easy as Trump can afford it, easy as experts in these fields are readily available, and effective because they work.
Sad Sack Secret Service can’t fly drones, don’t have comms, fear the sloped roofs, had tummy aches that day , Pat the cafeteria lady on loan from GSA , they can not mange this.
They probably have millions budgeted for it though .
Trump has to do this on his own .
2 high powered bullets failed. One big IED will not.
USSS doesn’t follow time honored procedure of establishing a secure perimeter. No sentry, no CCTV, no patrols. They rely on an occasional (apparently) sweep of an area without maintaining a presence prior to and after the President’s passing and close in protection. Obviously, procedures need to be revamped and personnel added. Also, a quick examination reveals that few of the USSS supervisors have field experience. No experience, no opportunities for vertical advancement equals a bad work environment.
