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:

Trump has done dozens and dozens of rallies with little to no media coverage, yet that day was the first and only time CNN was carrying a Trump rally live.

AND all the other major outlets were there, including the NY Times, NBC,CBS, hell, even NPR was on site.

Why were they all there?

Nothing makes sense about what happened that day if viewed through the lens of Securing the Former President. If viewed through the lens of NOT Securing the Former President then everything suddenly comes into focus. Let’s put on our detective caps and consider whether a suspect (let’s call the suspect DS) had the motive and the means to place the would-be victim (let’s call him PT) in grave danger by removing safeguards meant to keep him from harm.

Motive: It is well known that DS hates PT and believe he is a threat to their power. They (either directly or through allies) have accused PT of being a friend of Putin and even have called him a Hitler. They have tried to bankrupt him and imprison him for the rest of his life. Given how they have treated and talked about PT, it’s safe to say that few convicted killers have had stronger motives and many have had much weaker ones.

Means: They have essentially been putting a huge bullseye on him for years now, fomenting hate even while knowing that there are many psychos out there. A few years ago a psycho was motivated to attempt an assassination of a Supreme Court justice who wasn’t nearly as hated as PT is (thanks to DS fanning the flames of hatred for nearly a decade now). Moreover, for a long time there has been a parlor game where people are asked if you had a time machine and could go back and kill Hitler in his youth, would you? The expected answer is yes, you should kill him so as to prevent many other people getting killed. Therefore having your cohorts compare PT to Hitler is tantamount to calling for someone to assassinate him. Even if that someone isn’t political or doesn’t hate PT, just the thought of being hailed a hero by those who do could be enough to essentially create a hitman to carry out DS’s desire to eliminate their nemesis. A hitman with no tangible connections to DS and who would happily do it for free. So all that remains is creating a hole large enough in PT’s security that even an amateur could exploit it.

Suspicious activities (leading up to event): In weeks before the event a threat from a foreign adversary against PT became known to DS. Presumably his security would be increased and would be the best of the best. The opposite seems to be the case. Someone with a far lower risk level was apparently given better security that day and PT was given worse than usual security despite the elevated threat level against him.

Suspicious activities (day of event): A potential threat was spotted well in advance of the event that day. PT should have been kept in a secure location until this person was detained. This did not happen. Also a prime location for carring out an attack was left unguarded. Other security measures were oddly missing, such as drones surveiling the area. Local law enforcement tasked with traffic control got closer to the gunman than the people charged with protecting PT did.

Suspicious activities (after the event): DS has not been forthcoming. Instead DS seems to be actively stonewalling the investigation. In short DS has acted like a guilty party would. Even lying about the most important factor that nearly led to PT getting killed by claiming that the location in question wasn’t properly guarded because it was too dangerous to do so. This was either an outright lie or DS has very low IQ. While DS might not be Einsteins, they can’t be that dumb. A guilty party though might well try to act dumb and incompetent to make themselves appear unable to have orchestrated something of this nature.

Conclusion: Highly suspicious. DS appears to have their hands all over this. Whether they will ever be held responsible though is very unlikely unless someone talks.

Too many obvious signs. Imo, this was a setup and is starting to look like Jill was all in.

It would not surprise me if this was the case. After all, she’s pretty much the Acting President. We have to have continuity of government in the White House.
