Trumps “body women” wear “sensible shoes” (Michael Savage voice).

Definitely a false flag.

Whether black hats (deep state cabal) or white hats, still to be determined

Yes, the stories coming out are truly “Soviet style lying”. The message is, “we are in charge, and you must accept out blatant lies and you can do nothing about it”.

I hope that Biden’s dementia causes him to admit the truth on the lack of coherent security at this Trump event.

Thanks for the correction. Didn’t know she had been with SS, but bringing someone back as the head of the SS who’d been on Jill’s team for a time, then left after Trump was elected, sure doesn’t inspire any confidence in her commitment to do the job professionally no matter who the protected might be.

That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point.

The walk back in the works: "I said 'At its highest point.' There was a ridge line that was very very steep. A tripping hazard. Very dangerous at its highest point. That's what I meant."

There were shooters on the barn near the podium. That roof is even more sloped. Dolt lying dyke.

Wish they’d hired the LA Korean snipers. Trump would have been much safer.

What exactly was the function of the cops inside the sniper access building?

“””The walk back in the works: “I said ‘At its highest point.’ There was a ridge line that was very very steep. A tripping hazard. Very dangerous at its highest point. That’s what I meant.””””


I hope the SS Director is not reading FR right now and says to herself: “Wow!!! That is exactly what I need to say to clarify my utterly stupid statement to ABC. And what karma. I got this from a Conservative Website.”

A Presidential candidate was almost assassinated and another person was killed. She must resign or be fired. Plus the agent in charge at the scene.

Her other snipers were also on a sloped roof.

What is she talking about?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

‘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,’

What she is saying is that her guirl agents would not ne comfortable with that roof, so she wasn’t going to put them there. She would rather have them posing for the cameras
and running arpoound like keystone cops to look like they even CAN do something.

_______

Watching the side of the crowd through the windows so no one could sneak up. The gap between building and stage.

They got sneaked up on from their back side.

There were lots of people just wandering about in that area

I would think, all audience would be sat down before president-level protectee steps forth. No wanderers. More poor security

Hospital beds have more of a slope.

No way these cops are this incompetent. I realize it’s the Keystone State. Were they Keystone cops?

I would say no security would be what we saw. Why didn’t they leave one cop inside or, and have two patrol the building perimeter? Air conditioned inside? Not a legitimate reason.

Best way to get rid of them. No tell-all books, because there’s nothing to tell. No security breaches, because security does not depend on them. They just get to hang around the likes of Obama and occasionally give him a feel-up or whatever.

For those not aware - there were three Policemen on station inside the building Crooks was shooting from. Not sure if they were local Cops, or part of the Secret Service who wear Police style uniforms.

One other interesting fact...

All the aerial photos that show the line of fire were taken AFTER the spectators left.

The shooter had to fire OVER a ten foot section of grand stand that jutted out on Trump's right side.

From the aerial photos, it is not possible to judge what kind of elevation advantage the shooter had - if any.

It is possible the shooter had to wait several minutes for some of the people to sit down, before he could see Trump.

The roof had a very low slope so her non-sense shows that she is not even familiar with the crime scene.

It’s more likely that the roof was brutally hot, and the officers thought being inside in the shade was much better for themselves. The event commander should have had the sense to put video cameras on the construction cranes and/or the water tower, bringing the whole area under continuous surveillance. I would respect the SS Director if she said, “We screwed up and will be doing extensive training on securing sites properly and working with local police effectively. This shall not be happening again”. Making a very lame excuse = not what a leader does.
