A failure on purpose or accident?

Maybe I am no security expert, but it seems to me, if the Boy Scouts were in charge of security, they would have someone on the roof of every building within rifle range of Donald Trump.

I don’t believe the word “catastrophic” is strong enough.

Biden assigned Trump the Wish.com Secret Service team.

Quite honestly, what fair minded person can believe _anything_ the agencies (SS, FBI, CIA, NSA, et.al.) would have to say about anything regarding this assassination attempt?

If they said water was wet I’d have to check for myself.

I saw someone post on X saying he was the sniper that took him out. If it’s true then he said he had him in his sights for 3 minutes and was not allowed to engage. And took the shot after the burst to stop him and was told to not take that shot. He was arrested and questioned by FBI for over a hour. Almost lost his job. If this was true then something stinks. Not just an epic fail but even worse.

How did the assassin know the best sniper perch was unguarded?

Why was he allowed to shoot minutes after he was pointed out by spectators?

The government sniper on the opposite rooftop had a clear view through a telescopic lens and let the assassin get off several shots.

The Secret Service is not THAT incompetent.

The most logical answer is that the Secret Service let this happen.

The day after McCain became the official candidate in 2008 there was a rally in Cedarberg, WI. I was there, and there were guys on every roof top down the parade route.

Well I’ll be downtown Milwaukee tomorrow to see what’s going on.

BTW, I can’t figure out how to change my (CO2 aint a problem?) tag line. Must be a button somewhere.

I want it to say:

The Climate Crisis” is a text
book example of “The Big Lie.

Those cops and Secret Service agents who bungled the whole thing are going to get raises and promotions for doing such an intentionally crappy job.

The SS looked like an absolute clown show complete with female midgets that quite obviously had no weapons mastery. Go watch the videos of the attempt on President Reagan’s life to see how real professionals operate.

There was one guy at the presser yesterday says the perp was outside the perimiter????

Outside the perimeter? That perimeter is is anything within eyesight of The President and a bit beyond.

How in the Ho Lee Phuk is that possible?

I’ve been to Trump rallies and snipers are everywhere, including in the hills surrounding.

Security is actually visible for miles before you even get to a rally venue.

I felt safe, as well, unconcerned for The President’s safety

Moreover, there was a helicopter circling the event

So… a guy just decides to show up at a rally and take a potshot at PDJT… and he looks around for a spot that wasn’t covered by USSS and… well whadaya know! He’s in luck. A handy barn roof with no-one on it. And his rifle happens to be sighted in for the distance to the stage.

Now, let’s just see if he can get up there with a rifle without being spotted. Well whaddaya know! Another lucky break! Wait… he was spotted and pointed out to security, Well whaddaya know! Three times lucky! Security blew it off.

Oops. His luck ran out. He was shot deader’n a doornail. Tsk, tsk. Too bad. Can’t question him now.

Gonna be lots of stuff out there

Fact is “it should have never happened “

That it did is inexplicable and no answer will be acceptable

Snipers have an Area of Operation

In that AO are Squares that they are responsible for scanning hostiles and intelligence

Each Square also has math notes for distance, elevation, declination, etc

This was not a slipup

Another take on this incident:

Bingo has contacts in the Secret Service.

*** And YES, there are some patriotic Trump supporting Fed’s. ***

The PPD and supporting agents from local offices are probably being sequestered and under orders that if they anything, to anyone, they’ll be fried chicken. Lose job. Lose benefits. Lose pension. Indicted….. that’s how they keep people quiet.

Whether it for incompetent personnel, understaffing or hatred of Pres Trump, they won’t let that cat out of the bag.

There is one thing that they will allow. If they can determine or fabricate that the Agent In Charge is loyal to President Trump they will pin the failure on that person and there’s nothing that person can do or say to defend themself. They’ll be allowed to retire, pension, benefits as long as they take it on the chin and keep their mouth shut.

I listened to Bongino's comments a little while ago. He pulled no punches. Meanwhile, our President....

The person in charge of this detail needs to be relieved of his her duties.

I recall participating in 6 Nuclear Surety Inspections at a nearby Nike Hercules battery, as an augmentee. The out briefing was always attended by the entire chain of command, to include the Deputy CG of 32nd AADCOM.

Should the battery fail, he was there to relieve the chain of command up to and including the Group Commander. I’ve never experienced pucker factor like that.

“This is an obviously catastrophic failure and NO excuses should be made, or even attempted,” Bongino posted


This reminded me of the bank closings in the late 80’s. Old retired bankers from out of the area were called in to clean up the mess and make tough decisions.

This guy might be one of Trumps “old retired bankers”.

NO excuses should be made, or even attempted.

Bet the feds will have many excuses like we didn’t see that building due to the heat waves yeah that’s the ticket.

Dan’s right. The secret service had one job. They failed to do it.

they let it happen or orchestrated it...

it seems when they graze the president its a bit much to think that Trump had anything to do with it.....just too risky....
