Secret Service blames local police, says it was tasked with securing properties surrounding Trump’s Pa. rally

The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside of the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting.

Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according the New York Times.

The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and secure the area outside of the rally.

Yes, the SS’s only job is to keep their client alive and well.
Only a DEI SS boss would say like they did, “Not our job.”

The way this Administration operates it is not their job to secure the venues?????

I have been so upset that I could not even add a post about how I felt.

Now, I want those bastids to find nothing but destruction by way of the BALLOT BOX.
Let’s get rid of the unAmerican members of Congress and the Masses

Send them back to their respective countries of origin.

I have doubts. Seems that once a SWAT sniper alerts SS, it ought to be in every one of their earpieces.

“How did the shooter know the roof was not secured?”

That’s the question, isn’t it?

Most roofs have parapets. How would he know there was nobody on that particular roof? Did he fly his own recon drone? Apparently the SS and Police had no ISR drones deployed.

Shooter was local SWAT, I believe, not SS.

If Mayorkas was involved it's virtually de facto confirmation of an official Biden Admin conspiracy to assassinate Trump.

This guy is brazen enough and there is nothing I would out past him.

After 60 years in office Jo Jo has his tells.

Since the Trump shooting, Biden has done three national addresses. This is a Classic Biden tell that he got caught doing something really bad.

I saw someone who was a regular, long hair, Maga hat on, who, claimed that when the “secret service” agents moving AWAY FROM THE CRIME SCENE, HE TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO GO ....TOWARD THE GUN SHOTS.

CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE??? THE SECRET SERVICE DOESN’T HAVE THE BRAINS TO GO TOWARD THE PROBLEM....

NO, NO, “LET’S LEAVE THAT JOB TO SOMEONE ELSE.”

WILL OUR COUNTRY EVER AGAIN HAVE REAL, TRUE, DIDICATED PATRIOTS WITH THE LEFT IN CHARGE.

A RESOUNDING NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,

THEY ARE A WORTHLESS BUNCH OF COWARDS

Imagine being an employee or owner of AGR International Inc. Horrible.

The snipers (SS or local SWAT?) may not have been aware at the moment when the shot wounded Trump. Crooks was hidden by part of the roof until he popped up.

This is so lame it’s utterly unbelievable.

solipsism: the female mind focus on what solely advances her, and her only, the most.

Nothing else makes sense.

If it wasn’t planned the multiple failures would be unheard of. (And unbelievable)

*****************************************

For the UNIFORMED Secret Service, if you look carefully, you’ll see their uniforms have “Police” annotated in large, very visible letters. In smaller, less observable letters their uniforms are marked “Secret Service”.

The snipers were, in fact, Secret Service.

I’ve been screaming this question the past two days. Thanks for asking this key question. What are the odds that the shooter, dragging around a rifle, can find the only building without security with tens of thousands of people and dozens of security personnel wondering the fairgrounds?

The one building that law enforcement would ignore even after bystanders point out the gunman.

“It just cries out for an answer!”
Looks like the regime tried to assassinate Trump.
