Secret Service DID have a Surveillance drone in the air, and it went operational at 5:20 pm.

Did it fire at the shooter? Why didn't it spot the kid on the roof?

[Kudsman]

It’s so grimey that sound exactly like what happened.

[Theophilus]

Amen!

[Marcell]

“Ronald Rowe Jr, the acting Secret Service director, said it never utilized the technological tools that could have spotted the shooter beforehand.”

[mbrfl]

Hmmm. So why did the Secret Service spend the last 2 months claiming no drones were deployed?

[null and void]

My spidey sense tells me CROOKS HAD AN EARPIECE and the purpose of the drone was to let Crooks know WHEN THE COAST WAS CLEAR for him to head up onto the roof.

Makes sense, right? Why else would the SS initially deny they had a drone in use?

Or maybe it was there to count coup?

Somebody wanted an overview perspective of exploding blood and brains for their private collection...

The list of possible somebodies is left to the reader as an exercise...

[fuzzylogic]

That this has only just come out is disgraceful. Clearly, they must have been attempting to hide this. So, there’s no excuse, they MUST have known there was somebody on the roof...and no way would I believe they wouldn’t be able to see the weapon.

Pretty much a smoking gun...beyond incompetence.

“Why didn’t it spot the kid on the roof?”

############

I’m sure it did, and made sure he was in the right place.

[EVO X]

I don’t believe anything that comes from John Cullen.

I've never heard of the guy until the Trump assassination attempt. He had about a hundred hits on his youtube page a week after the attempt. The only reason I know of him is some Frepper was spamming the threads with a link to his videos. It looks like the spamming effort was somewhat successful according to the X stats...

[cgbg]

I have been unable to verify the Cullen info in this particular case.

Grassley’s X page just has lots of stuff about corn and Iowa football.

If Cullen is correct about the Grassley info Cullen deserves the credit.

If Cullen is wrong he deserves the heat.

We will know soon enough.

[Harpotoo]

A threat to kamalatoe!

[The Louiswu]

The Ukes can drop a grenade into the hatch of a tank from 50-100 feet up and our clods can’t spot a grown man on a roof in broad daylight?!

[Texas Fossil]

I think he is hired noise. To retard getting the truth. Nothing I have seen from him makes any sense. Except he tries to tell everyone he understands it all.

[milagro]

Is your neighbor named HOUSTIN?

[philman_36]

Didn’t they deny that to Congress?

Wray said, and I paraphrase...I can speak about Crooks' drone...
I commented he could talk about the shooter's drone but he couldn't talk about any government drones.

I commented on it at the time because it indicated to me an attempt to cover things up.

[philman_36]

They were very clear in their testimony—the SS had no drone.

See reply 35. It becomes clearer.

I'll show you his, but I won't show you mine.

[cgbg]

Interesting—thanks for the clarification.

[mware]

The acting head of USSS was asked if they had drones in the air. He denied it.

[philman_36]

My pleasure, as always.

[philman_36]

This is actually old news.

Iowa’s Chuck Grassley calls for answers on ‘communication breakdown’ at Trump rally shooting Jul. 30, 2024

“According to the Secret Service, the drone system was supposed to be operational at 3 p.m. that day,” Grassley said during his questioning of Rowe. “However, we’ve been told by Secret Service that because of cellular bandwidth problems, it wasn’t operational until about 5:20 (p.m.) on that day. If the system was operational, Secret Service would’ve had the ability to detect the shooter and his own drone use. Why is the Secret Service dependent upon local cellular networks? Does Secret Service have back up plans in place?” Video @ 2:42
