The first thing I wondered about was what happened to the the lucite panels that used to be set up around the podium when a high profile target is in the open?

Cavanaugh added: “Having been on Secret Service details, it’s amazing to me that somebody was on an elevated position that they didn’t know about.”

I'm just going to come out and say that they DID know about it. We're maybe even complicit. I will believe this unless proof is presented otherwise.

I don’t believe this was accidental. It’s to obvious for anyone with experience with high security event planning training.

DELIBERATE SETUP

This was not a security failure. A layman on the street would know to put a Secret Service asset on that roof. This was clearly a Deep State assassination attempt.

“Security experts said it was difficult, and perhaps impossible, to eliminate every threat, particularly with long-range weapons and outdoor events.”

That’s true, but to NOT have men stationed on every roof within 200 yards of where the president will be speaking is gross and utterly ridiculous negligence. Every rooftop should have been secured, locked down, and guarded for the two days in advance of the president’s arrival up to his departure.

“Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, said at a news conference that law enforcement was not aware of the man’s presence on the rooftop until he started firing.”

The counter-sniper had the perp in his sights when the shooting started. According to the video, the counter-sniper flinched for a second and then returned fire without sighting in on the perp. They knew he was there.

It will make you angry to see the video posted (until the FBI takes it down) on theconservativetreehouse.com, and realize the SS/police snipers had already targeted the shooter for several minutes, and then let him get off 4 shots before they decided to take him out.

This should be the biggest story of the year. This is disgusting. No excuses.

Surely the SS were communicating on their radios, and allowed the kill shot on President Trump. They were willing to let the shooter takes shots before they did anything. Their inaction also allowed 3 innocent bystanders to either be killed or injured, in addition to the fact Trump would have been killed had he not turned his head as the bullet was coming towards his head.

Here is some wild speculation.

1) After checking the various rooftops, the SS delegated controlling building/roof access to them to local police. The shooter ran up to Gomer and Wally and said something like, “Deputies, Help, they’re looting the Food King”, and Bob’s your uncle.

2) Whoever was supposed to control the perimeter was in league with the shooter.

One wonders why the SS would not have set up surveillance cameras at all suspect locations, and maybe an overhead drone (drone question was raised by Lazamataz yesterday), feeding a bank of monitors overseen by a responsible person. See guy wth a rifle; radio SS sniper with location and alert the whole team to go into protection mode. Situation over.

How do you not have somebody on that roof, or at the very least, send someone to that roof IMMEDIATELY when someone is spotted moving around on it? People in the crowd were telling the police and nothing was done. There’s video of somebody in the crowd yelling “he’s got a gun” BEFORE the first shots ring out.

It’s sad that the absolute *best* outcome of this is gross incompetence and the worst hardly bears thinking about.

“The police are down there running around on the ground."

Why the heck were a couple of them not stationed on the roof?

I lean much more toward incompetence than conspiracy, but this is pretty incredible incompetence. It is typical of this Administration, though.

The number of agents on-site would be determined by higher ups, not the agent in charge at the scene. The agent in charge at the scene would have to work with what he was given. We know Trump requested more security, but was turned down.

There are pics of two Secret Service agents on a roof with sniper rifles. If those two snipers were all that were available to work the rooftops, then there was no way to cover the venue out to reasonable perimeter. There probably should have been 2 or 3 times the number of agents assigned to a big venue like that.

The bureaucrats will try to blame the agent in charge at the scene, but the fault lies in D.C. where there was no concern with protecting Trump.

False flag(s).

Expect fireworks.

JUSTICE.

You take an overhead photo or a diagram of where the podium will be and you place a clear overlay on it with a dot and circles around that dot showing the maximum effective range of common weapons.

Then, you make sure nobody can get a weapon inside those circles.

They basically left one flank unguarded.

If there were police on the ground there, they should have had police on that roof.

I would expect any Sergeant in the Army to know how to prepare for this.

It’s just too obvious.

You decide whether they intentionally left it unguarded.

He said a high-powered rifle like an AR-15 can hit targets 200 yards away.
The AR-15 isn't a high-powered rifle, and it can hit man-sized targets from 600 yards away, given a competent shooter.

“’A fundamental security failure’: How did a gunman open fire on a Trump rally?”

not a “failure”, but deliberate ... based on all the audio and video evidence there is no way this could have happened the way it did without some kind of assistance from the secret service ... period ...

and believe me, i am not a conspiracy theorist as my posting record here would prove ... it seems like i spend half my time here debunking nonsensical conspiracy theories ... this assassination attempt is not one of those ...

> Former Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras said it is impossible to eliminate every potential threat in a situation like Saturday’s.

It was ONE roof.

There is no excuse for them. the one place a shooter could take up a position was that roof top. no other buildings around. none.

The ONLY failure they see is that their assassination plot didn’t kill Trump.

They let him on the roof and let him take his shots before the killed him to bury their tracks.
