Did Jill Biden get the Secret Service's 'A' team, leaving President Trump with just its farm team?

A letter from Sen. Josh Hawley, citing whistleblowers inside the Service, suggests just that.

President Trump was subject to an assassination attempt the Secret Service should have protected him from.

Congress has been asking questions all week, and met with mostly stonewalling from the agencies involved.

Now Sen. Josh Hawley is hearing from Secret Service whistleblowers, about yet another problem.

According to the Daily Wire:

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said on Friday that most of the security personnel at former President Donald Trump’s Saturday campaign rally had been “unprepared and inexperienced” DHS personnel rather than actual members of the U.S. Secret Service.

Hawley shared a letter he was sending to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, demanding answers for a series of apparent lapses in security that ultimately allowed a gunman to attain access to an elevated position less than 200 yards from the rally stage where Trump was speaking. Secret Service is part of DHS.

“Whistleblowers tell me that MOST of Trump’s security detail working the event last Saturday were not even Secret Service. DHS assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel,” Hawley said.

The letter is at the bottom of investigative reporter Susan Crabtree's tweet with added observations of her own:

Does Dr. Jill strike again? She seems to be “acting President”. I heard rumors that she gave the orders for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout.

Let’s be perfectly clear, Trump did not get the B team, he didn’t get the C team. Trump got a made up force from Homeland security dregs…..

I wrote this elsewhere.

There are a LOT of facts and unanswered element in the assassination attempt that are…well…curious.

Many people have jumped to a Particular Conclusion based chiefly on the profound Secret Service failures. That is, there is no way this guy could have gotten off rounds that close unless he had…erm…”help.”

Or, there is this alternative explanation, the the A-team was elsewhere. Maybe.

It’s easy to understand these comforting responses.

However, consider the alternative, less jazzy but more realistic explanation:

The Secret Service is NOT some “elite” governmental organization. They are, bluntly, no better or worse than your local Department of Motor Vehicles, or the Post Office, or the TSA workers who lose your luggage.

Ther very fact that the Director is not self-immolating, is evidence of the rot in government.

The DMV issues drivers licenses to all sorts of terrible drivers. Why should anyone be surprised that their cousins, the incompetent Secret Service, did everything except stop a 20-year old loner from grazing Trump’s ear?

This is the government. Not the private sector.

The longer they can hide the real evidence and information of the assassination
attempt the more convoluted the media, and conspiracy theorist's misinformation becomes.

At some point we (the American public)will believe anything.

And it is mighty coincidental that it was at this event that had an assassin with a plan.

If that was the A Team the SS is completely worthless.

FOX reported late last night the Secret Service had no drones up, but the shooter did. No idea if true or not...

So President Trump’s protection was less than optimal after a number of calls for assassination, veiled and otherwise, including Biden’s suggestion that a bullseye be placed on him?????
