The U.S. Secret Service (USSS), established as a personal bodyguard for U.S. presidents, is playing an increasingly dangerous role in U.S. politics. Assassination attempts on the life of former president Donald Trump, by Ryan Routh on September 18 and Thomas Crooks at Butler, Pennsylvania, raise the disturbing possibility of designed convergences of security lapses that give assassins the opportunity to kill.
Trump’s protective detail was purposefully stretched thin
Details are still missing regarding Routh’s attempt, but he apparently camped out for approximately 12 hours waiting for Trump to appear at hole 6 of the Trump International Golf Club. Trump was headed that way, teeing off at hole 5 when a Secret Service agent saw a rifle sticking through some shrubbery and flushed Routh out with a few shots. There was no prior sweep done of the golf course.
Newly consolidated details on Trump’s Butler rally reveal a more sophisticated plot. Jill Biden spontaneously decided to speak in Pittsburgh on July 13 at a small event, announced only a week prior. Kamala Harris similarly joined a small event in Philadelphia the same day, confirmed as a speaker on July 10. These last-minute additions to “The Schedule” diverted most of Trump’s regular protective detail and breached longstanding White House and USSS security protocols.
Trump’s tall, male USSS regulars were replaced by substantially shorter agents, many of whom were women, borrowed from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and whose training consisted of only a two-hour webinar. One of these women cowered behind Trump as he was shot at by Crooks, positioned merely 130 yards away on the roof of building 6 (AGR 6) of the nearby AGR multi-building complex.
Butler security was a wreck. The usual canine teams were missing, improper people were accessing backstage areas, and DHS officials failed...

Just incompetence.
Who said, “In crime, there are no coincidences”?
They tried to defeat him politically. Failed.
They tried to destroy him in the courts. Failed.
They tried to kill him, twice. Failed again.
When he gets back into office there will be hell to pay.
Whole sale firings.
Do like Clinton and fire every federal prosecutor.
Rain hell down on these people.
One approach they haven’t tried, apparently, is to put a professional assassin place. Routh was close enough for an easy shot, and would have gotten away if not for a concerned citizen. He’d have gotten the shot off if he hadn’t given away his presence.
A pro won’t take the job if he’s likely to be caught. Therefore, large crowds are out. They’ve tried Trump’s and Vance’s planes already.
Interesting that no paparazzi went to the 6th hole and bothered Routh. Surprised they didn’t work as spotters. Maybe SS kept them away.
I really hope you’re right.
Cheers coming form Edith Wilsons box.
Jill just another back up plan if Harris is rigged in Jill will be in her troop.
