Oh my word, if this is true, this is a major failure in the Secret Service protocol.........you don't let the bad guy with a gun shot the President first - you take the threat out BEFORE they shot the President.

I’ll call BS on the story about an assassin must fire first. That breaks all the rules of stupidity.

Ok, the person with a rifle and scope crawls on the roof, lays in a prone manner and sites through the scope. If that person does not fire, would they still be arrested and charged with attempted assassination? Maybe they were just using the scope to get a better view because if the SS did not fire they must not of thought the person was an assassin.

Wouldnt Trump’s personal security team have known this was the protocol.

A policy of "Let the assassin take the first shot" is absurdly at odds with the core Secret Service mission of protecting the VIP. It begs the question: Who gave this order, and when? Is the same policy in force for Biden, for example?

1. Reports that the SS deliberately let the assassin shoot at Trump. 2. Despite ample forewarning and the gunman being in plain sight to many people, who were alerting LEO, there was no response to rush the stage and shield Trump or move him to a safe position. 3. No drones. 4. No LEO securing of the roof despite many experienced commenters saying it was an obvious threat zone that should have been secured.

I don't as a rule indulge in conspiracy theories. But facts are facts. This stinks to high heaven. I hope the congressional calls for "investigation" get truly to the bottom of this stench, and it results in more than a "sternly worded letter."

Whether rank DEI incompetence or what amounts to a conspiracy to allow the first rando with a gun to assassinate Trump, America needs to massively reject and disempower the ruling elites who have created this situation.

Someone posted on Patriots.win that it was important that Trump made sure he let us know he was able to get up and speak. Because if they had shuffled him away to the car without any of us knowing his status, who knows what they would have done to him... “Oh, he didn’t make it, he succumbed to his wounds in the car on the way to the hospital.”

And they could have gotten away with it.

Dan Bongino says that is utter BS. Every law enforcement official in the country is allowed to take out an imminent threat before they kill somebody.

I am so sick of people lying. The only way we know what is true is by getting actual documents and sworn testimony, BEFORE it can all be doctored up and destroyed by the FBI or any other of Merrick Garland’s henchmen.

We should be having sworn Congressional public hearings TODAY.

Got to be fair and give the shooter a chance. If he kills Trump and SS kills the shooter then the score is even and SS guys and gals can go home satisfied.

One thing everyone should remember is this: Rules of Engagement are written by lawyers whose objective is to limit legal consequences not the protection of individuals.

The SS never gave an order to shoot.

If this is true it’s the retard death rule that completely contradicts their entire purpose.

Why not? Same democrat ROE that prevented a Marine sniper from taking out the bomber at the Kabul airport.

The Obama Thugocracy shot & murdered a young black woman who backed into the White House gate years ago.

Once was told by a government official ….. Holding power means we get to make it up as we go along holding power.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some secret service agents were told if they see something suspicious to look the other way and just let it take its course. I hope the good Lord takes Trump under his wings.

Their protocol makes sense to me! Because after all it COULD be just an innocent guy or gal (or tranny) lying on his/her tummy innocently pointing his/her rifle at the president, all with the best of intentions. You wanna be sure before you take out an innocent!

No. Didn’t happen. No law enforcement officer of any agency allows a mulligan. Show lethal threat, get shot. Orders on engagement come after that.
