Unconfirmed reports indicate the SS sniper had the assassin in his sights for at least 3 minutes . Secret Service leadership refused to give the order to take out the perpetrator.

This is now getting walked back. Secret Service says no permission was needed to shoot.

I bet that is because leadership DID withhold the permission. A recording of the conversation between the SS sniper and his leadership would be most interesting (and damning). But if they can sell the idea that "no permission was needed" then it become easier to say "no conversation happened" and "we don't have the recording you're looking for".
