NEW: Per federal law enforcement source w/ knowledge of the security planning for Trump’s Butler, PA rally, the event was staffed by 22 Secret Service agents, including advance, assault, and sniper teams, 16 HSI agents, and it is believed there was no SS drone in the air.

Per source, Secret Service did not request any tactical support from HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) beforehand, including the HSI elite Special Response team. HSI agents were assigned to “post standing” security duties at the street entrance and the media area, and were not responsible for the close proximity around Trump, or the buildings on the exterior of the area where the shooter was.

The entire operational security plan was created and carried out by Secret Service, which told HSI and local law enforcement where they needed bodies, and was responsible for the advance planning.

Per source, allegations that HSI agents were untrained or unprepared to provide security at this event are way off base - adding that HSI are highly trained federal law enforcement who routinely run complex investigations, often at the border. Source added that HSI had roughly 400 agents providing security at the RNC in Milwaukee, and they know what threats to look for, adding that HSI agents working perimeter surveillance at the RNC were involved in spotting and arresting a suspicious man on Monday who approached the secure RNC area with a bag that had a AK47 pistol, a full magazine, and a Scream mask in it.

A lot of finger pointing going on as a result of the security failure on Saturday, which was centimeters away from resulting in the assassination of former President Trump, live on national television.

These people are delusional or they think we are
Probably a little of both

NEVER a single admission they did anything wrong or, even that they could have done ANYTHING better
I don’t no any organization that believes that. There is ALWAYS something that could have done better.

This was a government hit. 9 shots were recorded from different calibre guns including the counter sniper.

Mayorkas’ SS (er, HSI) can field over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers - almost as many soldiers as a full Army Division. Many more in administrative and office details.

Most certainly a gov’t hit. There were hit teams following Kennedy . Chicago, Tampa as well as other cities. Dallas was where it all came together. In each city, the Powers That Be had a patsy in place to take the fall.

This kid Crooks was the patsy.

Trump needs to be extremely careful, as the desperate Deep State is in a bind, they will try again

"This was a government hit. 9 shots were recorded from different calibre guns including the counter sniper."

Not to mention the fact that the would-be assassin wasn't taken out until after Trump and three others were hit.

Maybe because the conspirators need to make that person “go away” before they name them? You know, tragic car accident or maybe a “sudden death” from unknown causes. Then they can say, “the USSS agent in charge of the site was [insert name here]. But tragically, he/she/xhe passed away unexpectedly.”


If’n I was that person and part of the plot, I’d be hiding due to the reasons you give. If I wasn’t part of the plot but followed orders I disagreed with I’d be whistle blowing.

Mayorkas’ HSI has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll? Complete With perks privileges bonuses and pensions.

That sounds alarmingly suspicious——like the age-old scam of putting phantom names on the payroll and the attendant financial windfall that brings complete with several govt pensions for whoever’s cashing in.

Let’s get Congress to check it out.

“He failed at the attempt. “

On the other hand, if this was planned they should have been better prepared for the aftermath. We’d be raising the same issues if the attempt had been successful. They should have been ready for this and they don’t seem to be.

Trump47 needs to make sure the entire DIE secret service agents are deployed exclusively to Bidet and Obama. They implemented this and they should be reap the results. They have both also championed guns with fingerprint safeties. Those two details should be the proving grounds for that technology.

Exactly. Letting a President take the stage after they had spotted the threat on the roof for at least 10 minutes prior makes it obvious they were going to let the guy take the shot. At the very least, this is criminal negligence.

“They should have been ready for this and they don’t seem to be.”

You are raising a very good point but it does not mean what you think it means.

What it means is that the “they” who planned the assassination are not the same “they” who were “not ready for this”.

My read is that the plotters (like the JFK plotters) were not high profile public figures you think are “they”.

The real plotters remain out of the limelight running free—so “they” are doing just fine.

What border? There is no border.

That is a striking reality, an existential scam, one intended to bankrupt our institutions, our culture and the American taxpayer. It is second on the list of "Mother of all Lies", right below "There was no Stolen Election".

It appears instead of a border, there is essentially a thinly veiled "Dem Welcome Center" that arranges bus trips for entrants to various U.S. interior locations.

That Center reportedly hands out gift cards along with other packages of benefits and has the migrant sign a National Voting Act form under oath that he/she/it is a citizen.

The migrant may have little else to do in the process; state political authorities, however, are advised of the number of new, very transient "voters' their state may expect to vote by mail-in ballots.

“These videos will be used in training security details for years to come as to how NOT to protect your principal!“

Not necessary. Anything these videos could show anyone was well known at the very least since November 22, 1963.

I wonder if Pres Trump is involved at all with this investigation? ie does he ask about progress of investigation; details of investigation?

I think the way some went after the use of HSI agents gave the deep staters an out . Except, I think, for FBI, all federal agents receive the bulk of their training at FLETC. Additional specialized training comes after. So these HSI weren’t desk jockey staffers. Now the deepers can say all the agents assigned were trained agents. Those assigned directly to Trump were obviously USSS by the way they threw themselves around him. Even the female agents did so, though ineffectively due to their stature. But none of this explains the uncovered roof and failure to act on evidence that someone was where he shouldn’t have been.

They just don’t care that we know. They will keep trying I think as well.

We’re in crazy times.

“none of this explains the uncovered roof and failure to act on evidence that someone was where he shouldn’t have been”
...or failure to notify the SS agents on stage that there was a clear and present danger and they needed to get President Trump on the ground and then remove President Trump from the stage.
