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.

Right, Snidely.
Someone was helping him.
Seems unlikely that this basket case would be able to build his bomb and detonator (without looking on the web), recon the site, and roll up with an AR and a freaking ladder and get in position all by his lonesome.
But not buying the Iranian connection, myself.
That one is indoors.
Dang, I had my money on Putin.
That one is indoors.
Yeah, we witnessed their deliberate lack of competence in the Butler County Trump Rally assassination.
Impeach Mayorkas and Biden!
Then, this moron of a kid showed up and revealed the serious holes in the Secret Service security. Sadly, we lost what appears to be a very solid husband, father and neighbor as a result. It could have been far worse.
Oh, I see. Joe’s people are establishing this whole “Iran” thing so if anything (God forbid!) happens to Trump, they can cry, “It wasn’t us! It was the Iranians!”
uh, this makes it worse! If you had heightened awareness the Iranians were going to assassinate Trump how the hell do you they let a 20 yr get on an elevated building with line of site to Trump? I’m not buying it. Thank god it was this kid and not a real sniper!
I categorically reject the negligence argument.
The Secret Service has many issues for sure—but I believe they are being set up as the patsy here.
My view is that their comms were jammed by other Deep State actors and a couple of moles in the Secret Service (who actually worked for FBI or CIA or whoever) plotted to assassinate President Trump.
Keeping investigators focused on the idiotic Secret Service leadership and policies will help protect the guilty.

Good..that makes me feel better

“Right, Snidely.”
LOL! I have the theme music from “Dudley Do Right” as the ringtone for my husband. When it goes off in Walmart, people crack up.
Nations hostile to, and competitive with, The United States have learned to attack the weakest point of our country.
They have been doing it for decades.
They attack the weak minded through the Democrat party.
If that be true, shouldn’t Secret Service protection have been maximized?
Total CYA bullshat. I have never read a bigger bunch of lying bullshat than what is in this NYP gaslighting article.
..... Is it possible that since Trump survived the attack that the incriminating social media accounts that were meant to be planted, painting Crooks as an Iranian Sympathizer were necessarily scrubbed and thus the lack of Social Media presence??
... Heck ..... All that is remaining about this turd is his measly voter registration and a few bucks donated to crappy causes .... He's basically a blank page waiting to be written and fleshed out
.
Load of cr*p. The liars are now going “Iran. Iran. Iran.” just like they did “Russia. Russia. Russia.”
Yep. Be sure to let them know that you know so that they can go back to planning.
Just proves that a lot of people hate Trump. Some within the United States, some outside.
I am worried for him, the United States, and the world if they are successful.
