Multiple congressional committees have begun probing the 'security failures' leading to a gunman's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. ...Former Navy SEAL Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., says the shooter being able to access a 'nearby roof' to take aim at Trump is an 'absolute failure of security.' He has experience securing perimeters in combat zones and as a protectee for presidential events.''
...The House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told DailyMail.com in a statement that he plans to hold a hearing with the Secret Service Director...
The House Homeland Security Committee also released a statement indicating their desire to hold a hearing with the Secret Service. ...

If anyone can climb a roof with a rifle within 200 yards then the secret service is pathetic. Good thing the shooter wasn’t a deer hunter. 200 tards with a 30-06/.270/.243/.308 or he’ll even a 30-30. I hate to say this even a .22LR at 200 yards is sufficient. We really dodged a bullet in a real way. The failure of the SS is apparent. I could build an easy 150-200 yard mortar system if I wanted to do so. (I don’t want to do that). I am very curious if the effort of the SS is being politically influenced.
They are going to have to add another wing at Gitmo to accommodate all of the traitors for their military tribunals.
AGREED. This seemed very incompetent.
It will result in a strongly worded letter.
From your finger tips to God’s ears. I can dream can’t I?
Please explain to me how the SS could “forget” to secure the roof? And how could the officers who were notified by the red headed witness, not pass on the warning? Surely there must have been police chatter on the radio/SS comms chatter.
This appears so amateurish. I am not alleging a conspiracy, but give me a break!
GOD is in control.
Send somebody out for more toner cartridges.
Gonna be a lot of seriously stern letters written.
Lindsey Graham will come out with indignant outrage, and state what he is going to do, and when the fervor dies down, will do nothing.
Kevin Rojek, Fibbers special agent in press briefing going on now, says abt 2 hrs to id (so about 2am east coast time). Said no id on body
And if they didn’t know where the shooter was before the shooting, it took them only a couple of seconds to locate and kill him after shots were fired.
Very fishy...almost as though he was allowed to get them off prior to being ‘quieted’.
And other Republicans thanked the SS for their great work.
This one will be a two page letter.
We will find out. In spite of the system. Too many voices are demanding answers.
Either total and complete incompetence or the SS was complicit. Either way, there will never be any accountability.
