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.

Sounds like a Union kind of mentality. Not doing anything extra beyond what is expected of them. Same thing goes for many govt workers too.
Weak, what are you paid for?
Let the blame game begin.
This web page says the SS is responsible for securing sites where events of national special security events are conducted, such as The Inauguration, State of the Union Address, RNC and DNC Conventions. If I were President Trump, I'd ban them all from providing me any protection at the RNC, and hire my own security detail.
Still diontbknow if anyone gave the counter snipers a don’t shoot first order.
I’m pretty sure Dan Bongino would disagree with this.
“Does either organization have overall responsibility? This should not be a hard question to answer.”
The SS is tasked with the FEDERAL responsibility of protecting him.
I’ve seen a statement from the sniper that wasted the perp. Said he had him in the scope for three minutes, waiting fir permission to fire. I’ve also heard that local LE had ROEs that forbade firing until shots were fired.
Bastard Leadership.
Harrymwould disagree we’re ne alive…
Get the females out of the SS. The “A Few Good Men” speech comes to mind by Nicholson. It’s so retarded that there were 3 or 4 of women in yesterday’s detail they looked like shrimps.
So Trump has never really had proper security all along. Wow.
What a cheap shot. Passing the buck.
SS is almost as bad as the FIB.
SS is almost as bad as the FIB.
Because it took so long, you know they needed time fabricate otherwise the truth would have immediately rolled off the tongue.
Well after all, their boss is Mayorkas, the guy who doesn’t just refuse to accept any responsibility for the border crisis, but claims there isn’t one. I would expect nothing less from any department under his purview.
Exactly.
A lot of action movies involving the Feds always have the SAC showing up on the scene and ruling like a little god.
Great.
Fire them and find SS who will do their job.
