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.

I don’t think the shooter is the 20 year old guy. The picture of the 30 year old matches the picture of the dead guy.
How does an Antifa thug manage access a near-by roof top, no cops nor Secret service paying attention, in plain view of spectators who warned the cops and Secret service, then to open fire on President Trump at a campaign rally protected by federal and local law enforcement?
Is it confirmed he was antifa? I have been waiting for information other than a name to tell us who/what he really is.
And Martin Luther King. These are communists that have infiltrated our government and own the Democrat party.
UP TO A POINT——THEN NOT
There so many Dem idiots.....its hard to tell...../s.
Pass it on.
It’s more than likely that particular clown

The operative sentence in this article and the only one you need to concentrate on is: “was the Biden regime behind the attack, or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen?”
True. The leftists live and die by the polls (sometimes literally).
Bobby Kennedy was denied secret service protection, as well.
Lee Harvey Oswald took the fall for JFK and IIRC Sirhan Sirhan is still in jail for RFK's assassination.
