Another leak!
The Secret Service denied repeated requests from worried agents on Trump’s security before a would-be assassin fired several shots at President Trump last Saturday during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally, according to a leak to The Washington Post.
Last Saturday President Trump was grazed in the ear after a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on a roof and took several shots at Trump and rallygoers in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Per WaPo:
“Top officials at the US Secret Service repeatedly denied requests for additional resources and personnel sought by Donald Trump’s security detail in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday, according to four people familiar with the requests.
Agents charged with protecting the former president requested magnetometers and more agents to screen attendees at sporting events and other large public gatherings Trump attended, as well as additional snipers and specialty teams at other outdoor events, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive security discussions. The requests, which have not been previously reported, were sometimes denied by senior officials at the agency, who cited various reasons, including a lack of resources at an agency that has long struggled with staffing shortages, they said.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi denied this.
Theres an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed. This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo

Sean Davis called Guglielmi a liar.
Guglielmi, the spokesman for a corrupt and incompetent agency that refused to secure the most obvious shooting perch at the event, is a liar.

After repeatedly denying the story was true, Guglielmi admitted to the Washington Post that Trump was indeed denied beefed up protection.
“After receiving detailed questions from The Washington Post, Guglielmi said the agency had learned new information indicating the agency’s headquarters may have in fact denied some requests for additional security from Trump’s detail and was reviewing documentation to understand the specific interactions better,” The Washington Post reported.

No shock there. Liars lie...that is what they. This guy should be waterboarded.
The last Democrat that even hinted at about ‘Buck Stops Here’ was Truman.
Lie, lie, lie until they get caught, then tell a half truth then lie, lie, lie some more.
There are obvious blue and red factions in the SS
This government (the Deep State infiltrators) has been lying regarding all things Trump since he came down the escalator back in 2015. Their goal has always been to stop him, and now they’re ramping up their efforts as they face a monumental loss in November. I don’t believe a word they say anymore. They, and the Marxist media, want Trump gone by any means possible.
We are living thru a horrific period in our history. Pray, pray, pray!
Kennedy took responsibility for the Bay of Pigs disaster but then a few months later….
Trump’s life is obviously not important to the regime. The regime sent $200,000,000,000 to Ukraine to protect its border, but could not find $3,000,000 extra to beef up security for the presumptive republican nominee.
i believe this was in the news before now and the reason was because he wasn’t the confirmed candidate yet...
Some interesting numbers are coming out of the Trump shooting debacle.
<><>Cheatle employs 7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Fore Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, bonuses, and pensions.
<><>Mayorkas heads the Biden Dept of Homeland Security which has more than 260,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector on the govt payroll as of Jun 11, 2024.
<><>Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With perks privileges bonuses and pensions.
Yet, Biden, Mayorkas and Cheatle denied Trump’s request for increased security.
The Biden regime sent $200,000,000,000 tax dollars to Ukraine to protect its people,
but could not find the tax dollars to beef up security for a presidential candidate.
