Radio host, conservative commentator, and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino condemned the lax tactics of Donald Trump's Secret Service security detail after an assassination attempt Saturday afternoon and the murder of a rally attendee. Bongino laid particular blame at the feet of United States Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle.
...
I want to repeat, and can absolutely confirm, the USSS Director Kim Cheatle has repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump. Despite knowing the threat level is catastrophic. Resign tonight.
At the time Bongino made these allegations they had not been corroborated by anyone else, but Bongino is not known for talking out the side of his neck or making blanket accusations in order to incite his followers or garner clicks. Bongino used to be a secret service agent. So, if he alludes to an inside source supplying him with information, it is well worth paying attention to.
...
Actively communicating with a number of former colleagues from the Secret Service about the assassination attempt. This is an obviously catastrophic failure and NO excuses should be made, or even attempted. The failures are profound and questions must be answered about ground surveillance, air surveillance, post-stander support, and counter-sniper advance work and response. We have ONE job, and we came within inches of a deadly failure today. An uneventful failure is NOT a success.
Not long after Bongino issued his posts, The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis corroborated. Davis' sources also stated that the requests from the Trump campaign to beef up his Secret Service detail had been rebuffed, more than once.
...
A source familiar with Trump’s security detail tells @FDRLST that the former and future president’s detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but has been rebuffed time and again by Biden’s DHS.
DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail “wasn’t responsive to those requests” for more resources, the source said.
Was Biden’s regime behind the attack, or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen?
Developing…
On a special edition of his podcast, Bongino blasted Cheatle for her political posturing and demanded that she resign immediately.
...
"It is time right now for Kim Cheatle to get her head out of her ass and do the right thing. I could tell you stories for days about her putting politics ahead of presidential protection."
Just last Sunday Cheatle sat down with ABC News This Week with George Stephanopoulos and confidently claimed that there's "nothing specific and nothing credible," in terms of threats.
...
Others are echoing Bongino's call for Cheatle to resign.
...
Republican members of Congress have already been calling for independent investigations of the security failures leading to the assassination attempt, and the House Oversight Committee has invited Cheatle to testify on Monday, July 22.

And they indicted Trump for Jan. 6th? How about indicting these pigs for almost getting a Presidential candidate almost killed?
Could very well be.
The CORRUPT SS spokesman just posted that it;s a LIE that Trump requested more SS protection!!
Just doing what Biden does: lie
I suspected months ago that something like this would happen. The Democrats thought they had a fool proof plan to keep Trump out of office but everything they tried failed. They only had one option left.
Let loose the baying hounds from hell all talking from the same talking point that Trump was Hitler, Trump was a threat to our “democracy”, Trump if he should win would never allow another election and so on. Then they cut his SS protection (and from the look at the crew protecting him assigned the C team!
Did the Democrats hire a hit man? Doubtful, but they did everything in their power to make it easy for unstable person to take a shot at him (and regardless of what I have read the person taking the shot was not a bad shot, he was aiming for his head and it was only the last second movement of Trump that the bullet hit his ear and not in his forehead).
I did not expect a public assassination, I was thinking there plan was to take him into custody and have him “commit suicide”.
Our Federal Government has grown too large, the bureaucracy has grown too large, they are out of control. When the head of the FBI refuses to turn over documents you have to wonder just who is in charge, Congress or the bureaucrats.
The S/S DEI hires’ were embarrassing......they were totally unprepared......not trained at all.
Short Bun girl......ridiculous....Fat SS TOTALLY INEPT CHICK couldn't get her service revolver into the holster 3 times!!!
NEVER HAVE A CHICK IN CHARGE!!!
Blush......y/v/w.
BINGO!!! LIES!!! TOTALLY CORRUPT SS and TOTALLY INEPT!!
Sorry Dan, I can no longer tolerate your happy horsesh*t. I believe the attempt was a concerted effort between the CIA and the Secret Service. There are too many questions about the events.
and of course it is disgraceful that they have repeatedly denied Bobby Kennedy Jr. SS protection despite numerous requests.
They even gave protection to Nicki Haley early on before she reqistered hardly any support.

“It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”
Joe Biden
Pennsylvania authorities should try to get an arrest warrant for Joe Biden.
They can serve it on inauguration day.
She needs to go into hiding. She is our mortal enemy who permitted the failed assassination.
There was no security oversight failure. There was purposeful inattention to kill Donald Trump
Her days should be numbered
Not about numbers.
It’s about wantto.
Wantto was lacking.
The lacking wantto was by design.
NBC reporter interviewed an OBY/GEN sitting very close to the deceased spectator.
He said, “I told a friend upon arrival that the venue looked open to him.”
That building gave a perfect shot to the shooter.
So easy, even a twenty year old could almost do it if not for the Grace of God.
We will never get an answer from the FBI. The government press will lie as told. The foreign “enemy” press is our best bet for honesty in reporting about Trump.
From Sputnik
“Trump’s life was saved by a miracle, not by his security’ — Russian Spetsnaz veteran
It appears that the people responsible for Trump’s safety dropped the ball judging by the circumstances of the recent assassination attempt, Alexey Filatov, retired lieutenant colonel of the Russian Federal Security Service and veteran counterterrorism specialist, told Sputnik.
While Trump’s security at the rally was provided by three groups – his bodyguards, local police and the Secret Service – it appears that there was no proper communication between them, Filatov, who previously interacted US security services personnel, notes.
Meanwhile, the perpetrator managed to somehow get on a rooftop only about 150 yards (137 meters) away from Trump, a distance where it is “fairly easy” to hit a target the size of a human head using “not even a sniper rifle but a usual automatic rifle with good sights,” Filatov remarks.
“It would be safe to say that the security performed extremely poorly,” he says, noting that for some reason, law enforcement and security personnel did not bother to secure all nearby rooftops in the vicinity.
“You could say that this terrorist act or, shall we say, assassination attempt, it was successful. Donald Trump’s life was saved by a miracle rather than by his security,” Filatov adds.
“The lacking wantto was by design.”
Yep. Ya gotta wanna.
BTTT
Biden camp hitting back saying this isn’t true . Dude saying it may be DHS. People asking him if trump did get extra protection then how did the shooter get on an unmanned building.
Funny tweet said they didn’t secret service AND CIA on the roof
Yep.
