Embattled Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle has revealed the fateful reason why her agency failed to position an agent on top of the building that a gunman used to carry out an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Cheatle, who is already facing calls to resign over what some lawmakers are calling a massive security failure, said Secret Service officials planning security for Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania considered the warehouse about 150 yards away from where Trump spoke to be a risky position for stationing an agent.
'That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,' she told ABC News in an interview Tuesday.
'And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.'
What transpired instead was a security nightmare: Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to scale the building and secure his own position, while law enforcement struggled to locate him even amid pressing warnings from members of the Trump crowd. But there wasn't sufficient time to act on the tips, she explalined.
'The shooter was actually identified as a potential person of suspicion,' Cheatle said. 'Unfortunately, with the rapid succession of how things unfolded, by the time that individual was eventually located, they were on the rooftop and were able to fire off at the former president.'

What is she talking about?
Explanation doesn’t hold water!
She is a DEI hire
D-umb
E-gotistical
I-diot
Or a normal Democrat
How many ways can we be told this was a False Flag, without actually telling us it was a False Flag?
She was ordered to deploy in such a fashion.
She didn't expect Trump would survive. They didn't have the contingency lies ready.
Then put an agent on the water tower! Are we to accept this stupid answer?
[’That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point.’]
Yeah, we noticed how the assassin just slid off like an omelette out of a non-stick frying pan.
You’ll have to craft better lies than that one.
How about ‘Global Warming’ or something??
No problem for the assassin kid.
Damned slopes.
Let us interview an agent who will confirm that this was too much a sloped roof for an agent.
You beat me to it. DEI
Didn’t

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has demonstrated that she needs to have a cognitive test for signs of dementia.
There are other buildings right next to the one in question belonging to the same company that appears to have a higher, flat roof.
The answer is total BS and she needs to go.
sounds like she, Biden and Obama planned
the murder. anyone in Congress care?
‘That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,’ she told ABC News in an interview Tuesday.
WTF?
So the police snipers are tougher than USSS snipers?
What an effin joke.
Snipers find themselves in all kinds of uncomfortable positions to accomplish their mission.
Why doesn’t she explain that “snipers are really very small men, Lilliputian types, and very afraid of heights. So, it’s not realistic to expect over watch protection”
So she thinks that having police inside keeps the shooter from scaling the building from the outside. Is this gal for real???? SS who would lay down their lives believe a slightly angled roof is dangerous? This gal should never have been hired by Jill.
where did the red ladder come from?
The Secret Service Counter Sniper Team was on a sloped roof. As a kid I walked around on sloped roofs all the time with complete ease. Either she thinks everyone is an idiot or SHE is an idiot!
