Local Officer Radioed About Armed Shooter on Roof 30 Seconds Before Trump Was Shot, But Message Never Reached Command Post — Internet Cell Service Was Down 25 Minutes Before Shooting (VIDEO)

It has come to light that the Secret Service’s handling of urgent security information on the day of the attack on President Donald Trump was disastrously inadequate.

According to The Washington Post, crucial messages about the imminent threat posed by Crooks were not properly relayed to the Secret Service, leading to a deadly game of telephone tag that ultimately failed to prevent the attack.

On her show, Laura Ingraham highlighted the chaotic communication breakdowns that occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania. Local commanders were forced to use cell phones to call state troopers, who then relayed messages to the Secret Service, resulting in critical delays.

This ineffective chain of communication happened three times that fateful afternoon, including a crucial moment at 5:42 PM when a local counter-sniper radioed about a young white male lurking near the AGR building, only to lose sight of him shortly after…

It was planned. Some of the Secret Service was in on it.

25 minutes. Plenty of time to delay Trump taking the stage.

I just don’t buy this “comms were down” story. There was plenty of time to walk to the stage and inform the SS agents there was an active threat. Radios don’t work in 100 yards range? Just not believable. Mirror to flash agents by sunlight would have worked. Time for smoke signals, sure. Anyone in the SS ever heard of a “radio check”?

The reports were are getting are so much b.s. Someone needs to be prosecuted for criminal malfeasance. A man was murdered because of this stupidity, and the FBI is creating another Trump hoax? The SS is stonewalling!

Simple reason for this, The secret service had a SEPARATE COMMAND CENTER on the other side of the grounds. Unbelievable, they (local and state and SS) were not ALL in the same room where communications could have been shared in seconds with no confusion.

Once is happenstance
Twice is coincidence
Three times is enemy action

It’s almost as if some big wigs in the Chomo Joe administration wanted Trump eliminated.

In addition the Secret Service has had thousands of details over the years.

They must have experienced almost every problem, including communication problems—that could be imagined.

The notion that there were not workarounds is absurd on its face.

Ok Causality of internet outage in that are for 25 minutes needs to be FULLY ascertained. This is 35 miles north of a major metropolitan area— Pittsburgh, and just DOES NOT HAPPEN.

Some shutdown was made to happen— who could do that, provably?

That may have been the assassination command center.

The arrangement totally violates routine Secret Service procedure.

Some reports are the SS snipers were using commercial text messaging, which understandably could be slow or down when you put this many devices in a small town without the infrastructure to support them.

But why? Post 9-11 there was a major push to get state and local public services comms to be “interoperable”. Many millions have been spent to do so - whether it works or not.

Now we’re told the most elite protective force in the country can’t friggin’ talk over 100 yards? A pair of $20 FRS radios will do that FFS!

When you get 40,000 people in a small area, cells are not designed for that volume of traffic. Cell phones rarely can get a call through.

Cell service can be spotty in rural PA, that’s for sure. But the “failure” there was probably in not having backup in case the patsy somehow missed.
The list of improbables in that whole episode is far too long.
Then the subsequent testimonies, and lack thereof, and nobody getting fired.
Then the coverup, i.e., investigations aplenty, so no one can answer anything (ongoing investigation gambit), not to mention the investigators are rats and rinos.
How is anyone to conclude it was not a setup?

How often does internet cell service go down? How often has it gone down at that location? Has any effort been made to determine why it went down, or who was responsible for keeping it up?

Why did the SS not install their own portable, encrypted cellular service?
Surely they knew of the risk of local cell service becoming overloaded…

Say it ain’t so. 🤔

Someone needs to audit the SS books.
Did they not have the funding required ?
Did they have the funding but did not spend it updating their technical equipment?
If request for funding denied? Who? When?
What committee overseas the SS?
When was the last hearing before the assassination attempt?

Maybe we will get answers a few years down the road, when the Comperatore family brings a civil suit, like the Goldmans after the OJ trial.
I expect nothing from the Congress.

35 miles is forever in cellular terms, large LTE cells radius is 1 to 3km and small cells from .3 to 1km. Butler has a population of 13,000 and those two cellular towers you see on the Farm Show grounds are AT&T and Verizon that serve that area. That’s it. No wonder they were saturated during an event where thousands of phones were in use.
