Law enforcement officials admitted it was “surprising” how the gunman was able to get so many shots off in the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump before he was taken out by Secret Service snipers.
During a press conference early Sunday, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police deferred several questions about security to the Secret Service — who were notably absent.
When asked if he was surprised at the number of shots the gunman was able to take at a former president, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said: “It is surprising but, to get all the details of that will come out later in the investigation.”
“The Secret Service really needs to answer that question,” he added, noting that they are in charge of securing the scene and the FBI were just there to support them.
Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens attempted to offer a defense for the Secret Service over the security lapse that nearly caused Trump his life.
“In their defense, what I would want to say is it is incredibly difficult to have a venue open to the public and secure that against any possible threat against a determined attacker, that’s a huge lift to try and do it,” Bidens told reporters.

Hope those witnesses that alerted the cops about the guy on the roof will be called before any enquiry....or will it be a Warren Commission event?
Yup…it was my first and continuing thought about all this!
The dirtbag Biden was trying to blame Trump for what happened because his crowds are so large.
or more importantly the treasonous law weaponizer Judge
The KILLER WAS ON A ROOFTOP CLOSEST TO TRUMP!!! CORRUPT SS AGENTS!!!
“Hope those witnesses that alerted the cops about the guy on the roof will be called before any enquiry.”
Last night, MTG said they definitely will.
Unexpected!
Yeah it was pretty clear from the get go that the shooter didn’t miss , the target moved.
Bongino’s “emergency” post assassination show which I found by searching Rumble for Bongino, covered this. That show was done very quick, Dan hadn’t then learned from where the shots came. But he said protocol for any attempted presidential or former presidential assassination is that FBI rather than SS investigate. Have consider SS could be guilty and covering it up.
The “election” of Trump was not helped one iota from this assassination attempt unless the voting is fair which many believe still is not. The only difference now is to make more Trump votes disappear and manufacture more for Biden (or whomever they put in his place) by ballot stuffing, Dominion or by whatever means necessary.

About 50 years ago RR spoke at the center of downtown. Our office had a view of the podium. Our senior partner had an old western saddle rifle on his wall on a plaque possible visible trough the glass and across his office. About 5 minutes before RR took the stage the SS barged in and commandeered the office. Inside and up 14 floors. Until the great one was finished.
That’s how it used to be.
“What really bugged me too is how long the SS kept Trump in the killzone and standing upright with the smallest agent (the chick) to his front in the huddle.”
Yes, very good point, but all that was needed, evidently, was for the little female SS agent to reach way up to shield Trump’s head with her little hand. Yes, that is superb protection.
You are CORRECT.
4,5,6 shots,pause, louder,single shot.
Shooter is down.
SECONDS between shooters quick shots and sniper kill shot means spotter/sniper already zeroed in on shooter.
According to a witness, SS was aware of them pointing to the man on the roof with a rifle. Did nothing until AFTER shooter got off several rounds.
It isnt a case of perfection being possible. It’s a question of was what happened easily foreseeable and preventable? And it was. Easily. Deepstate. So many people predicted this beforehand it’s ridiculous.
Also, why did no one spot the prepositioned ladder ... he didn’t flap his arms and land on the roof.
“Yeah. FBI IS surprised snipers let him get a few more shots in. They thought, he would get the one in then, the deep state would end it after that first shot.”
The shooter was most likely an FBI asset. The secret service cannot be so incompetent as to allow unfettered access to a rooftop only 130 yards away.
Last night the camera shots we had led me to believe that the roof had the peak on one side, it appears from this that the roof the shooter was on has obstructions that the shooter could have been crawling behind.
When I went to google earth I could “drive” down the main road in front of the farm. When I got to Whitestown Road to turn and go over to that building the images jump to a different date when the road was closed.
One Stinking Drone...
My thoughts Exactly.
“FBI surprised how Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks fired off many shots before Secret Service killed him at rally”
I can see Babylon Bee’s counter-headline: “FBI surprised that they allowed to shooter to have so many shots at Trump and he could barely hit him”.
