Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who oversees the Secret Service, on Monday slammed the security at Donald Trump’s rally and admitted the gunman never should have had a clear sight on him.
“A direct line of sight like that to the former president should not occur,” Mayorkas told ABC News’ “Good Morning America.”
Officials said Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was on a rooftop near Trump’s campaign event in Butler, Pa., on Saturday evening when he fired multiple rounds at the 78-year-old former president and spectators before he was ultimately killed by a Secret Service sniper.
The DHS chief backed President Biden’s call for an “independent review of the incident,” which left Trump injured after a bullet grazed his ear, a spectator killed and two others injured.

Thank you. Feckless Rinos need to go NOW!
And, when he pondered how to get up on that roof, he saw the conveniently placed ladder there! How nice of someone to prepare for him!
So who is getting fired?
L
At least on Jan 20, 2025 they will be fired. Frankly, they should be prosecuted.
Focus on command and control.
That is where they key to the conspiracy lies.
FBI asset?
Unless he fires the candy a$$ DEI hire in charge of the secret service I don’t care what he says.
Wonder how many of them were in on the plot.
You win the thread!
And they would have covered it up and dropped it faster than the LV shootings.
We can give a few examples to Mayorkas about direct line if sight ballistics.
Itg would be great to give him a field briefing out at 500 yards holding a target card.
I hope that communist goon’s eyebrows encounter his next cuban cigar.
Then fires himself.
Who will be the sacrificial lamb? Too obvious to not be part of a plan.
They all are trying to distance themselves because they are complicit.
Dumb ass can’t go infront of congress. But can go on network TV and spew his bullshit
I certainly have no insight into the tactical C&C of the presidential protection team. I doubt any conspiracy would be stupid enough to use the tactical comms to orchestrate an assassination attempt or that anymore than a single person on the team could keep a planned assassination attempt secret for long.
Additionally, if the SS protection team wanted to kill rather than protect Trump, that could be accomplished any time. Yet he has had a protection team for going on 4 years now, and maybe longer if the team has members from his POTUS days. I suspect they are loyal to their job, if not POTUS.
If you were some deep state actor, like a Brennan, and you set in motion a plan to assassinate trump, would you hire a 20 year old misfit gun nut or someone really versed in arms and could be relied upon to get the job done? Especially if it could get traced back to you, which at some point, it would?
This is why I dont believe that a specific act was orchestrated. But clearly the environment was prepped, through dangerous rhetoric, through allowance of lawlessness of groups like BLM and Antifa, through villainization of Trump. Then ‘they’ just sat back and waited for what was inevitable, that some nut would try to take out their ‘Hitler’.
This may have been facilitated by not providing sufficient protection resources. Rules of engagement has finally been discussed (whether accurately or not is TBD) but there seems to be an issue there as well. DEI policies certainly dont help either. Women on the team may have carried out their duties admirably to the best of their abilities, but as pointed out by many, a 5’4” person is probably not the best cover for a 6’4” package.
I see all of the above problems as the result of just the awful way the leftist administration does business, but again, not a specific plot.
” I doubt any conspiracy would be stupid enough to use the tactical comms to orchestrate an assassination attempt”
That is not what I am claiming.
Let me very specific—the Secret Service did not need to know anything about who was going to be the shooter. Other Deep State actors could recruit and train the shooter.
The Secret Service conspirators had to have control over communications (to keep President Trump’s stage detail from getting early warning) and to clear one specific location for the shooter.
That is it.
Then they can claim “oops” to any later investigators.
It is called compartmentalization—easy peasy for the Intelligence Community.
All they had to do was to fail to pass on an early warning to the folks on stage. Their silence was their “control over comms”.
They can truthfully say “we didn’t do anything” because they did nothing.
Intentionally.
With malice.
As part of the plot.
