Also there’s the angle of all the people who called out the shooter to the police, who did nothing.
.
If you’re figuring out Friend or Foe after the shooting starts, your Target is Dead.
Trump turned his head or he’d be Dead.
Excuses
The Secret Service Agent in charge who failed to use his own personnel or local law enforcement to secure those buildings, which were in the risk assessment identified as problematic, will have to answer under oath before Congress for his actions.
and, if SS were diverted to Dr. Jill, there’s this:

I wonder why no one was manned atop the water tower, maybe 100 yards away???
That is the highest view/vantage point in the area, not counting building’s to the west
I mean it effin looks right over the was/were perch

This is inexplicable and not forgivable for anything other than this was planned
Not knowing if the sniper was a friend or foe, i.e. could have been a local officer placed on the roof

Dang, that is one compelling reason to secure the rooftop in the first place!
And so the paper over job begins.
I have a good friend who was an FBI field agent many years ago. He thinks it is incompetence, primarily lack of communication between the SS and the local police. He also doesn’t think the DEI trend has done the SS any good. Besides the three short ladies, he wasn’t too impressed with the stocky older guy who looked like they were running in circles trying to look busy.
Okay but the sources are former CIA and FBI so I personally don’t trust them:
“Larry C. Johnson is a veteran of the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism. He is the founder and managing partner of BERG Associates, which was established in 1998. Larry provided training to the US Military’s Special Operations community for 24 years. He has been vilified by the right and the left, which means he must be doing something right.”
Trump did not have his usual Secret Service security detail. For this particular event, they were replaced by the Secret Service office with agents many of whom were temp Homeland Security agents.

The rules of engagement at the rally were to wait until the president is fired upon to return fire. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/07/14/gop_was_investigating_secret_service_before_assassination_attempt__151261.html
And somehow, the assassin knew that the best sniper perch was not secured.
“o Delay in communicating information provided by crowd to the snipers via multiple lines of communication”
This is going to be the key in the entire investigation. Shooter would have told supervisor he has shooter in his sights and can he engage. The supervisors response will tell the entire story.
