Exactly. I don’t care if it was a vertical church steeple, you still have to secure it. “It was too hard” is NOT a valid response.

It is really, really ironic that the DEI hire at the top of the SS is putting incompetent women (temporary help which perhaps hadn’t even been trained?) in full view of everybody so she can try to pull the “incompetence” excuse for what is very, very obviously a planned assassination aided by a SS not allowed to do their job and orders for local LE to “stand down”.

This champion of women is using women as the means to try to hide the murder plan.

Exactly.

And the lies are only making it more and more obvious to anybody paying attention.

They’re counting on the masses not paying attention. My hope is that Congress explodes this murderous plot into the whole population’s awareness.

I think the real reason, which she probably does not even know, is that they did not want to interfere with the shooter.

“’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.’”

OSHA regs, you know. Take a bullet for POTUS, but no falling and getting booboos.

This was a f@#$ing set-up. They meant Crooks to off him.

She didn't expect Trump would survive. They didn't have the contingency lies ready.

I think you're correct.

Three snipers - two on the roof behind Trump and one on the water tower - knew for 26 minutes that there was an armed assassin on that roof and did nothing to eliminate that assassin or to warn Trump not to go to the podium.

Also, that building was assigned to the SS to guard; they did so by having 3 snipers inside the building at ground level looking out of the windows. They saw this guy with his depth-finder looking for a way to climb the building and reported it to everybody.

As for the local LEO’s, they were told - against the protests of the sheriff - to stand down and not bring extra personnel and SWAT teams.

This was a very obvious planned assassination, with the SS there just for appearances while making sure the assassin would get his shots taken with a clear shot to Trump.

this woman must be a completely clueless moron and should be fired for that “slope” statement alone:

1. the “slope” on the AGR International building roof is maybe 1:12, which is nearly no slope at all ..

2. the wannabe killer had no problem with the “slope”

3. the counter-snipers behind Trump were setup on a roof with a STEEPER slope than the AGR International building

4. since when did SS snipers become able to operate only on flat roofs?

5. and how do you protect the roof of a building from INSIDE it?

Yup.

That would be

This is beginning to look like a deliberate plan to remove Trump's ordinary security team to provide a dysfunctional, unsecured and nonpermissive environment to facilitate a successful assassination of President Trump right before the Republican Convention.

iPhone auto correct sucks.

My bad.

And he didn’t miss. I’ve read that the scope he would have had meant he could see the shooter’s eyeballs.

Cheaty is not even hiding her hidden agenda. If I were Trump, I’d hire a security firm he can trust and not tell the SS, other than in confidence to those who shielded him with their bodies. This stinks of swamp.

“My hope is that Congress explodes this murderous plot into the whole population’s awareness.”

It is not going to happen.

Republican Congressmen will be pushing the “oops, sorry, mistakes were made by incompetent people” narrative.

As Chuckie Schumer said—the Deep State has “six ways to Sunday to get back at you”.

I was in DC in the days of the Vince Foster murder. Most Republicans were neck deep in the coverup. Privately they would admit they were terrified they could be next.

If we had genuine leadership in the WH she would already be out of a job. As it is they can’t fire a woman because of identity politics. It’s utterly ridiculous and dangerous going forward. I wish the election were tomorrow because we can’t get rid of this horrid, stupid regime fast enough.

‘The shooter was actually identified as a potential person of suspicion,’ Cheatle said.

_____________________________________________________

So they had a suspicious person on their radar - yet they lost him.
