Leave it to NBC to make such an idiotic statement. Who do they think shot them? Do they think the Secret Service turned and started firing into the crowd?
What? NBC’s finally admitting it wasn’t firecrackers?
There’s something fishy about this assignation attempt on Pres. Trump’s life. The way the Secret Service snipers on the roof were able to take the sniper out with one shot to the head so quickly. Now they are saying they were surprised at how many shots he got off before they took him out. It wouldn’t be the first time government Intel agents had pre-knowledge of an impending assignation attempt and took advantage of the situation to solve the Trump problem. Except this time, the perp missed.
“Somebody can be out in the distance and really engage your target from a long range, and there are weapons out there that allow you to do this,” said Poumpouras, who protected multiple presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, during her 12 years with the Secret Service.
This is a fundamentally stupid woman.
Rifles capable of engaging from 150 yards have been around for over 150 years. And she’s all surprised that we allow such weapons. Like a deer rifle from the 1870s. Idjit.
The perimeter was deliberately too tiny.
That is the frightening and unanswered question facing the country — and security officials — after Donald Trump said he suffered a graze wound on his right ear while he was speaking in a field in Butler, Pennsylvania, and left the stage with a bloodied head.

Trump ‘said’ he was shot.
It happened because Deep State powers wanted it to happen.
There was only one elevated position, there’s no way this was not intentional
What’s this? Did someone at NBC do some actual reporting? If true, I’m not going to get used to it.
It's not yet known whether security gap was a "grave lapse" or part of an intentional plan.
“It is incredibly difficult to have a venue open to the public and to secure that against any possible threat against a very determined attacker,” Bivens said. “That’s a huge lift.”

Please, no b.s.
“Last month, as the presidential campaign heated up, the Secret Service said it was increasing the size of the detail assigned to Trump. The protection was bulked up “to ensure the highest level of security for not only the event sites but the travel in between events,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said at the time.”
That’s a lie.
Trump was repeatedly denied bulked up security and never given a presidential package.
A bill was introduced by a democrat to strip Trump of his secret service protection.
I’m waiting for the media to essentially say the following:
“The reason Europe (until just recently) didn’t have any political violence to speak of is because Europe ran candidates who weren’t ‘divisive’.”
To put it another way, the shooting of Trump was a message to the Republicans to ONLY run candidates that are acceptable to the Democrats and the Media.
“particularly with ‘long-range weapons’ and outdoor events.”
The idiocy has started.
I wonder if it was a deliberate failure?
“Someone who is that driven to do something like this will find a way to try and get the job done,” she added.
Like Obama, Brennen, Clapper, Comey, et. al.
Former Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras said it is impossible to eliminate every potential threat in a situation like Saturday’s.

It would be VERY NICE if the media would start pointing out at least some of the calls for VIOLENCE against Trump and other Republicans, instead of focusing everything on SS, which clearly failed* at their job.
*I would hope the term “failed” accurately describes the SS in this shooting, but I’m not sure about that.
>>How does a gunman, in plain view of some spectators, manage to open fire on a former president at a campaign rally protected by federal and local law enforcement?That is the frightening and unanswered question facing the country — and security officials —<<
In my opinion, it was an inside job. Reminds me of the Dallas assassination of John F. Kennedy. Trump missed being killed by inches. Whoever set this up—CIA, NSA, FBI, DNC, Secret Service, they were foolish enough to have Thomas Matthew Crooks register as a Republican. How stupid do they think we are? Hopefully Trump will be elected and clean house in these dangerous alphabet agencies.
The alleged shooter was from Bethel Park, which is a suburb of Pittsburgh. Butler is about an hour and a half to a two- hour drive north of Pittsburgh.
I’m thinking we could be waking up this morning to reports of Trump in Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh with a serious or even fatal wound. Only by the grace of God did he escape the fate of the other victims who were shot.
The Biden administration is denying protection for Robert Kennedy, Jr. What protection have they denied Trump?
