How many SS and HSI agents does it take to **** up a protection detail?

This reads like a CYA piece.

Well, we know there were a few on a rooftop, but not all rooftops, and not the right rooftop. Maybe if more of them had gotten out of their SUVs or not been sheltering inside buildings they might have preventing the shooting.

Mayorkas is in charge of DHS and ultimately the Secret Service. He did about as good a job with Trump security as he’s done with border security, which is to say he’s incompetent and sucks.

if they’re afraid to cover a (slightly) sloping roof that has an obvious straight unobstructed line of sight to the speaker.....**

it would not have mattered if they’d had 3000 agents on site

two local roofs are being replaced all day here by the usual illegal alien work gangs... who have ZERO fear of being up top at elevation 10 feet

I don't have an issue with some HSI agents performing some duties like crowd control, monitoring transit points, etc.. But that's not the the issue, though. The issue is how/why a sniper was able to get to that position and begin shooting. It's now a week later, and we still don't have a clear answer for that. And the thing is, we know that they know the answer by now. They likely knew it within a couple of hours. And they just haven't told us.

Our eyes will not lie to us as to what we saw in broad daylight and possibly recorded on hundreds of cell phones and other audiovisual devices. These videos will be used in training security details for years to come as to how NOT to protect your principal!

Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas who is in overdrive mode to destroy the Republic would have loved to see the MAGA Republicans in tears. He is in charge of securing the border and oversees the Secret Service. When are people going to catch on? We can’t get to November fast enough. Once the Democrats nominate Kamala and her running mate we are going to the next level for the destruction of the Republic. We are in for one ride in the next couple months!

I read the assassin visited the rally site at least twice and may have flown a drone over the site the day prior. Did nobody notice? Didn't the sniper team do a walk-thru the day before? Was the site locked down the day before? the NY Post reports that assassin had tracked ex-prez’s appearances for months. Was this rally the first he reserved tickets for? Did he apply for tickets to other rallies? Has anybody looked it up?

to add some tidbits Law and Crime youtube video: at mark 18:40ish, ABC news reported the shooter had obtained tickets to the rally about a week prior, and, at 23:40ish, father called local pd hours before the rally to report his son missing.

That’s even worse. That means the DEI incompetents were rank-and-file SS agents.

“ adding that HSI are highly trained federal law enforcement who routinely run complex investigations,”

Well they weren’t there to conduct investigations. And no amount of “highly trained” can’ can make up for incompetence.

No advance SS drone request to HQ? Were they counting on borrowing the shooter’s drone when he wasn’t using it?

A witness there is saying the cop never went to the roof. Also, the snipers were watching him shoot. They did nothing.

"The entire operational security plan was created and carried out by Secret Service, which told HSI and local law enforcement where they needed bodies...

When I was a young lieutenant we got a new battalion sergeant major who made a lasting impression on me and my peers and taught the whole battalion a valuable lesson in the power of words. In army parlance at the time, and I would assume so even now, soldiers were generically referred to as "bodies," i.e., "First sergeant needs two bodies from each platoon for a grass cutting detail."

Our battalion sergeant major did everything in his power and influence to purge that usage, arguing that soldiers earned the right to be called soldiers, and leaders should be proud to lead soldiers, not mere bodies. He would say that if somebody wanted to work with bodies they should have gone to mortician school. Of course he was right, and powerfully so, and as he changed the language of the battalion, he changed attitudes.

So when I read the above passage in the article, I read it in that context. The SS shouldn't have been telling local police and HSI where they needed, "bodies," as that's what they got. They should have been telling them where they needed officers and security professionals.

adding that HSI are highly trained federal law enforcement who routinely run complex investigations, often at the border. 

The border? At our intentional cluster foxtrot where laws are ignored and national sovereignty is surrendered for the political benefit of the left? You might as well have bragged about guarding Hunter Biden's chastity and sobriety.

You could put the 82nd Airborne in Butler and simply not placing anybody on that roof nor overhead reconnaissance to stop a sniper changed everything.

I accept full responsibility (to pose heroically for the photographer).
