“So much so it appears to be a setup to eliminate Trump.”

Are you surprised that after all else has failed, they would resort to killing him? I am not.

nickcarraway @2: "What’s the point of identifying security vulnerabilities, if you ignore them?"

Unless ignoring them was part of the plan.

This is bad! Everyone from the Secret Service director on down should be fired for this failure.

Only the Grace of God and that angel he sent to have Trump turn his head a bit at that exact time stopped us from having a very different nation when waking up today.

the actual shooter picture is plastered all over the place in news stories.

Here is the guy you posted saying you got the wrong guy. Unclear how much of this was him trolling. Supposedly he is contacting lawyers.

Are you kidding. This is not the first attempt on Trumps life. A person was recently sentenced to 20+ years for sending a Ricin, a bio weapon to Trump.

"The article sort of implies it was mis communication or something Between the police and SS as to who had that covered"

Yeah. That's the ticket

If you are going to plan to get your protectee killed, would you do it in a way that makes you look incompetent?

“””The Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with it, the sources said.”””


I guess according to government policy, being aware is grounds for pay raises or promotions.

Does he usually go to Mass on Saturday? And Jill was in Pennsylvania that day too, meaning they took some of Trump’s SS team to guard Jill, leaving Trump at the mercy of substitute agents and local LE from other towns and agencies. A real clusterf*** that almost seems planned by TPTB.

Normally metal buildings don’t need a ladder to the roof unless there’s HVAC equipment.

I don’t see any in the photo.

Everyone knew it...except the government.
They knew. It is clear, the government as staffed is an existential threat to the security of the nation, American values, and the people. This is by design: we have 8 years of a "community organizer" in the highest office of the land. This is intentional. When Trump takes office, everything must be gutted, dismantled, and that which is absolutely necessary must be redesigned and rebuilt, to be completely politically neutral through force of law.

ah, so the blame game begins - ss says local, local says ss

forget interviewing the heads - go to the onsite troops and question them one by one. Should take about a week and save a year’s worth of congressional ‘investigations’

Pretty much have had to watch a western to under this one.

Or Star Wars (“anikan, I have the high ground.”)

12 year old kids could have secured the site better.

Duh, so you can call the local ANTIFA chapter and see if they have any loonies ready to be a patsy. You tell him when and where to go.

Then you tell the counter sniper to hold up.

Understanding how the gunman got onto the roof — despite those concerns — is now a central question....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What caught my attention with the aerial view in Post 25 are the two slender evergreens on the one corner of the building. When I went to a map, it turns out there is a streetview from the parking lot and here are those two slender but bushy trees’. My guess is that there was a short extension ladder planted in between these two trees... he pulls it, extends it and he is on the roof in less than 30 seconds.
