US authorities were warned about a potential assassination plot against former President Donald Trump by Iran weeks before the deadly shooting at Saturday’s rally — underscoring concerns about the level of protection that the presidential candidate was given, according to a report.

Although there is no known connection between Thomas Matthew Crooks and the Iranian republic — considered a rogue state by the US government — advance knowledge of such a threat appears wildly out of alignment with Trump’s level of protection at the Butler, Pa., rally.

The Trump campaign declined to address the outlet’s inquiry whether it was aware of the threat, but the Secret Service has “added protective resources and capabilities to the former President’s security detail,” agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.

The Secret Service even went so far as to repeatedly warn the Trump campaign not to hold outdoor rallies, the sources said, due to the difficulties of controlling access.

That’s probably about the time they stopped checking nearby rooftops with good shooting advantages

Given other reports that say Trump's detail asked for more and was ignored, I somehow suspect this assertion is garbage.

As a result of the foreign threat, they added the ponytail girls for extra protection.

I believe Iran will definitely make an effort —thanks to Joe’s open border.

Revenge for Assan Soleimani...

“They’re trying to get President Trump to stop hosting rallies.”

Guess they’ll have to say, “Drat! Foiled again!” when they hear about the rally on Saturday. Too bad. So sad.

Just heard it reported. Wonder if the Pa shooter, in conjunction with the Secret Service, is involved.

In which case the Keystone Kops security set up at the Trump rally by the Sec Service is criminal complicity
