Five questions for Secret Service after Trump shooting
BBC ^ | July 15, 2024 | Tessa Wong and James FitzGerald

Posted on 07/15/2024 1:08:49 PM PDT by The_Media_never_lie

Several major questions have emerged for the US Secret Service to answer in the aftermath of the shooting of Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The FBI has taken on the role of lead investigator into the incident, during which one person was killed and two others critically injured - while Trump was wounded in the ear.

As the US demands answers, the Secret Service says it is working to discover "what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again".

Its chief, Kimberly Cheatle, has been summoned to testify before a committee of the US House of Representatives on 22 July.

Just an FYI on Secret Service operations:

VP Mike Pence came to the Marshall Space Flight Center back in 2019 or so. Keep in mind that every contractor and NASA employee has to complete an HSPD-12. This is a 22 page security background check for anyone working on base.

When Pence was due to arrive, they closed roads for 2 city blocks around the building he was visiting. They had helicopters in the air. The base was locked down tighter than a drum.

For the Vice-President.

So any talk about “insufficient resources available” for a former president and leading candidate to regain the presidency is a joke. If the SS had insufficient resources, which they have admitted by claiming the local LEOs had that building, it is by design from the Biden Administration.

Period.

If the ss had done what they always do no one would be wounded or dead. DeepState needed Trump dead so they pulled ss back long enough to get a kill shot in. God has other plans. Et tu secret service.

I always thought the best way to take out an entire building was to just go up on the roof and dump about ten gallons of gasoline into the air handler on the rooftop, moving 200,000 cubic feet per minute of air flow and toss in a road flair.

Not long after my thoughts, it became an ISO 9000 audit compliance requirement to have no unauthorized AND UNSUPERVISED roof access to ANYONE. So it's pretty universal now.

There were two snipers on the red barn building who already zeroed in on the shooter but failed to do anything about him until too late.

Trying to do a good job doesn’t always equate with doing an excellent job. The SS are supposed to be the elite of the elite. There are jobs that men can do and there are jobs that women can do. Little short women can’t possibly protect a 6’2” man with a girth. Especially when bending down to knee level to pick up a hat. Holstering a gun should be muscle memory not trying a few times and then having to take your eye off the situation to get it in the holster. Possibly having a 6’4” Annie Oakley could work but don’t let her pick up pretty curiosities on the way to the van.

Mz. Cheetos, aka head of SS, has a goal of having 30% women. Hope Trump fires her first.

“The SS was following the law.“

That’s nothing but a fake phony excuse and if anything it argues for ss involvement in a plot to kill Trump . Problem: No one can have a a gun inside the security perimeter. Answer: Move the perimeter in excluding a perfect nest for an assassin and giving a straight line of sight easy shot at Trump. Security experts across America and Europe are baffled not to mention stunned at the multiple inexplicable to them security failures involved here.

And oh. they could have moved trump off stage and investigated this guy as easily as I am typing this.

Another video shows two snippers on the red barn roof who had already had a bead on him but didn’t do a thing until after he’d shot Trump, injured two supporters and killed another.

There is a video showing them sighting him in before proving they did know he was there but failed to do their job.

Not thrilled the FBI is investigating this. Might just get dusted under the carpet.

Many very good questions here, but with all do respect to all my fellow creepers, but we’re missing, what I humbly think would be the most revealing are the question:

Why did this twenty year old (who, by all accounts has nothing in his profile to indicate he was capable of this) drive approximately ninety minutes with a rifle and ammunition to a Presidential rally that by all normal security standards he would have had absolutely no possible chance to get into, only to find a near perfect, unguarded location from which he was able to fire eight rounds before he was neutralized?

I am afraid that we aren’t going to want to know the answer . . .

It’s now 2 days after the attempted assassination...
No one has been disciplined...
No one has been suspended...
No one has been fired....
No one has resigned in disgrace...
This is the current state of our country.

My issue is not how the perp was handled.

My issue is that the people on the stage should have received a timely warning that there was a potential threat.

Get the people off the stage first—then deal with the potential perp.

Funny that we know NOTHING ABOUT THE PARENTS OF THIS KILLER!!!! PROBABLY LEFTIES!

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

Almost certain. If they were conservative the media would have made a big deal of it. They have to be screaming Lefties.

Its chief, Kimberly Cheatle, has been summoned to testify before a committee of the US House of Representatives on 22 July.

Lets hope someone brings the security plan for that venue from the last time a Trump rally was there and asks this girl-boss to explain why it was changed.

I agree but I still see many that are open and accessible due to laziness.

So true. Everything you said.

We’re of the generation that has seen this movie many times.

JFK, RFK, MLK, The attempt on Reagan.

Always the same.

Always the guilty get away.

This stinks to High Heaven. This was a set up that failed.

By the Grace of God.

Perp apparently known to have bought 5’ ladder Friday. Just walked in, no perimeter and parked it as DM piece showed. Might have walked in gun same time place, don’t know that. Than Sat put on his MAGA clothes and joined the beyond perimeter crowd.

Yup—the failure of the assassination plot falls into the “miracle” category.

We need a few more miracles.

It will take that to identify the guilty and hold them accountable.

The Deep State has fully mobilized coverup operations.
