NEW: Secret Service Identified Rooftop Next to Trump Pennsylvania Event as Security Vulnerability Days Before Rally – But Still Didn’t Secure It
The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 14, 2024 | Cristina Laila

The Secret Service identified the rooftop next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania event as a security vulnerability days before the rally according to a new report by NBC News.

The agents failed to secure the building so a man with a rifle was able to climb up to the roof, position his scope, and fire several shots at President Trump.

A bullet grazed Trump’s right ear. Two rally attendees were wounded. One Trump supporter was fatally shot.

President Trump told former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson that a last millisecond head tilt saved his life after a gunman opened fire on him from an elevated position at his Pennsylvania rally.

I know if it was a ladder going straight up to a roof, 24 feet from the ground, I would not want to climb it.

What does Occam’s Razor suggest?

Occam’s razor suggests they didn’t identify it as a vulnerability; they identified it as an opportunity.

It was a coup. Why is everyone afraid to say it? The White House and SS will spin this so hard and fast it will make our heads spin.

This wouldn’t have happened if we had a woman in charge of the SS and more women SS agents on Trump’s protection detail. /s

I saw on a British YouTube analysis that the ss considered it out side the security zone and it was the locals problem.

The number of coincidences needed for it to be negligence makes that unlikely.

The building was identified days in advance as a security vulnerability, but:

Coincidence #1: No man (even local law enforcement) was assigned to be stationed on it.

Coincidence #2: Snipers are assigned areas to constantly sweep visually, but this building was conveniently omitted from areas being visually swept.

Coincidence #3: The one "vulnerable" building that was neither manned nor visually swept happened to be the building that the "untrained" shooter selected.

On the surface, the odds favor a carefully orchestrated event. "Orchestration" would point to a traitor inside the Secret Service (since they had ultimate responsibility for planning and coordination with local/state leos). Such a traitor would have to have the power/authority to exclude the vulnerable building from being manned and/or observed.

The reason that wouldn't make sense is that ultimate responsibility for the security of the former president rests with the Secret Service. And this building was line-of-sight and within 120-150 yards (i.e., an easy shot).

Secret Service might have utilized local/state snipers to cover that building, but even then the responsibility to pick the most reliable local/state snipers and coordinate them with the overall plan still rests with the Secret Service.

lol… there’s literally one rooftop to secure that would pose a threat. I’m 100% convinced this was our government setting this up—-then they act like it’s time to be civil. That time has passed “we the people are done complying with this leftist experiment “.

“A failed conspiracy is what happened. The government tried to kill President Trump just like they killed Kennedy.”

Let’s go to the audiotape between ops and the government shooter. That will tell us what happened.
