“It’s Officially a Cover-Up!” – Secret Service Rejects FOIA Requests For Trump Assassination Records
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 31, 2024 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 07/31/2024 10:00:08 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

The Secret Service rejected FOIA requests for records related to the attempted assassination against President Trump.

Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, 20, managed to evade state, local and federal law enforcement officers, climb on a roof and take 8 shots at President Trump during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13.

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed three FOIA requests seeking records related to the assassination attempt and the agency refused to produce and documents.

Judicial Watch said it is preparing for litigation.

Judicial Watch reported:

[Judicial Watch announced today that the United States Secret Service completely denied multiple Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents about the assassination attempt on former President Trump.

On July 16, 2024, Judicial Watch filed three comprehensive FOIA requests seeking emails, videos, and advance survey security assessments, among other documents related to the assassination attempt on Trump

The Secret Service refused to produce not one record in response:

At this time, pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(B)(7)(A), any potentially responsive records, if they exist, are exempt as disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. The citation of the above exemption is not to be construed as the only exemption which may be available under the FOIA.]

“The Biden Secret Service is in cover-up mode on its inexcusable and epic failure to protect former President Trump and other innocents. said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “For Secret Service leaders to promise transparency to Congress while hiding every possible FOIA record from the American people is yet another indictment of this corrupt and failing agency.”

...could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.

Proceedings against who? The gun man is dead so, is the SS admitting that there are other people? Other charges?

"We have seen this before- get ready for the announcement they lost all evidence and emails…..disband the FBI."

Yep. It's their standard game play. They've deliberately lost so much evidence over the years, one should wonder why they keep getting funded by both sides of the aisle.

“It wasn’t a failure to protect president Trump, it was a failure to Murder him!”

I think many if not most have come to this conclusion. A DoJ, FBI and SS plot that was signed off by the child molester’s administration.

They just happened to short Truth Social Stock the day before and the senile child molester just happened to twice signal that something bad was going to happen to Trump.

The very same senile child molester has since threated Mike Johnson.

I think this is the worst coverup of their since the most recent of the last 55 of them. /S

I was in high school during November, 22, 1963 and the later hearings.

Let us not forget that a man was killed and others injured.

I’m just reporting what Prather offered. He thought it was common for the FBI to make that up and that that was probably the case here.

My guess is the Zona plates would fit with the Yearick theory, which Prather was generally open to or leaning toward:

What enforcement?

If Crooks did it, he’s dead, so case closed.

I have recently just found this out.

Just before the OKC bombing all the investigation
documents to charge HRC with crimes from the Whitewater scandal were in that building. Current US AG Garland was in charge of all of that.

Does anyone found it odd that the puny Sandyhook shooter, the Las Vegas massacre shooter and now this slender build Trump shooter were able to haul and move around with more than enough guns, explosives and ammo without ever being detected? Of course they hsd help.

Its appears to me that our own Govt is responsible for these events and killing innocent people

Also there is video of a USSS officer in tactical gear in the building below the Trump shooter. He was not assigned to be there. So why was he there?

Dont let this events facts and the the others get shitcanned into history and forgotten.

I have yet to see one reporter asking the questions that should be asked

There's also an 'already previewed' checkbox.
