1. Gross incompetence by SS command 2. SS command willfully standing down
No. 1 is scary No. 2 is terrifying
I'm voting for #2, and if revealed, AND convicted, the excuse will be "I was only following orders".

I heard a Radio Report out from a PA Affiliate.
Incredibly, they said the following came directly from sources inside the Investigation.
There were 3 Secret Service Snipers positioned inside the Bldg that Crooks scaled and used as a platform.
Secret Service Snipers inside the building first saw Crooks looking up at the roof and acting suspiciously.
Crooks then left.
Crooks returned and was looking at his phone. One Sniper (inside the Building) was observing Crooks looking at his phone and then he saw Crooks using a rangefinder. The Sniper took a picture of him at this point, and forwarded it to the Secret Service Command Post as well as radioing them and telling them of his suspicious behavior.
Crooks then disappeared and later returned with a backpack.
The Secret Service snipers (inside the building) again radioed their command post and alerted them that Crooks' was back, acting suspiciously, and now had a backpack.
Some time elapsed and people in the crowd started yelling to PA Officers that there was someone on the roof with a gun.
Sounds like a BS story thrown out there to further infer that the shooter was a lone wolf.
We are being fed selective info.
The shooter had no accomplices.
His phone was checked out and cleared.
No internet footprint.
Was there a scope on his rifle, or not?
Could this be TRUE????
I once attended a ballet at National atheater in Washington DC. Sat in the balcony. President Clinton and Hilary came in and sat three rows in front of me. During intermission I went to the bathroom. Before I could return to my seat, the SS thoroughly searched me.+
stop and search?
I’m weary of the left flooding the zone with 5 foot ladders and backpacks and unreported encounters.
My focus in on operational failure points and who was responsible.
Who are the coconspirators?
Mayorkas looked totally guilty during his ican’tanswerthat.
yes
No. 1 is scary No. 2 is terrifying

What would SS snipers be doing INSIDE that building?
—
its been reported that the area was used for police/SS staging. Why they were inside and not on the roof is another question. Were they on donut/coffee break?
bet officers were female...discussing which place to go to for drinks after... or having dyke fight
Wow. This just keeps getting worse. Why 3 snipers in the building. Why not one on top of building. How did they see him 3 times looking suspicious and reported and nobody even approached him. Seeing him looking at the roof and coming back with a range finder should have had him followed. Or watched by the snipers. I think the snipers could see him on the roof and were not allowed to shoot.
Truthful post. Excellent.
No. 1 is scary
No. 2 is terrifying"
No. 2 total betrayal/treason and who investigates to determine what happened? The FIB. ☹
There is so much obnoxious BS going around.
I even saw a poster on a thread saying Dan Bongino is a clown and a deliberate liar.
Really.
It is one thing to be wrong, and another to be a “liar”, and this jackass appears to conflate the two things in his analysis.
But to call him a clown, especially when Bongino opines on Secret Service Presidential protection details and processes is the height of idiocy...someone who actually overseen that whole process and very obviously knows of what he speaks.
There is just so much stupid blather.
This person seemed like the same kind (yes, we do have them here on FR) who thought the Deep State plot against General Flynn was justified and he deserved it because he was “a liar and a traitor”, and there was no election fraud in 2020.
Jackasses. We got ‘em.
Someone authorized this assassination attempt.
There can be NO doubt any more about this being a deliberate course of action.
And it’s someone in our government for the orders to the SS to be what they were. How convenient.
Wait until the guy shoots and (for them hopefully) kill Trump, and then shoot the shooter to make yourselves to pretend you did something and look like the hero and <(most importantly) shut the guy up permanently.
The left’s disrespect for life is appalling. I wonder what they guy was being promised the whole while he was being lied to.
I don’t think he willingly went on a suicide mission. I’ll bet he was promised protection witness protection style protection, of getting a new identity, and disappearing with lots of money.
They used him to do what they themselves were too cowardly to do by their own hand and tossed away his life like a piece of trash. THAT’S what people mean to them. That is how much the left values human life.
#1 is a non-started because even if it was gross incompetence, WAY too much went wrong.
You see a suspicious looking guy who pulls out a range finder at a political rally and you don’t detain and question him? Really? This is beyond incompetence.
Based on that experience, I can tell you 100% for certain that what we happened Saturday is not normal Secret Service behavior.
Hysterical story in retrospect, but I can attest to the fact that they are VERY proactive when they feel they have a security threat to a President or a VP. And they were totally out of line in my case while this guy was about as legit a threat as they come.
A perfectly rational explanation for this is willful withholding of adequate security by the Biden Admin in hopes of an assassination combined with a passive aggressive "let it happen" mindset on the part of newly rotated in members of the security command team with Peter Strozk style TDS and "get Trump" mindset.
The security people did their jobs right up until they were either instructed to stand down and not to take action or they were left hanging with no instructions. .
I hope family of deceased and the injured sue the crap out of those whom allowed willful negligence here.
“One of the most ridiculous statements I have heard thrown around is that the SS cannot fire until suspect fired first.”
That does sound ridiculous, but security people don’t want to fire on another security person.
And the other question is, if they were inside the AGR building, why wouldn’t they be on the roof of that building? If they were in the building, it shows the SS were lying to the press by deflecting that the AGR building was outside their perimeter and want their responsibility but that of the local police. Something smells more rotten than Denmark
Is the the special Ed class of the secret service?
