A gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.

Still think they didn't let this happen??

[nickcarraway]

Did it have a sign with his plans for that day?

It seems like this guy did everything possible to get caught.

"Still think they didn't let this happen??"

There's no doubt in my mind this was planned and executed. They just didn't get the desired result. You can't have that many breaches of security occur within what was supposed to be a controlled area, in such a short period of time, and not realize it was deliberate.

I have no security experience.

And even I would have had a guy on that roof. I mean from what I’ve seen there were only a few roofs within easy range of him.

Just inept bunch of diversity hires….or maybe something more sinister even???

Of course it was all planned. The fact that a week ago Biden didnt seem concerned at all about polls and all of a sudden after the shooting you have Dem ever Dem calling for him to drop out..its like “Damn, he moved, our plan failed” this is why they want Cheatle to keep her flap shut because she will reveal EVERYTHING..how Biden and his crew knew of the threat to Trump, didnt tell him squat, didnt give him more SS agents, just said “Heck with it, if someone kills him, good we will just blame it on Iran”

stunning security lapses

Uh-huh.

One senator suggested today that Trump’s replacement SS agents weren’t actually SS agents but loaners from some other agency. Whistleblowers told him he said.

[Chgogal]

Sheesh, who the heck is running the SS? A kindergarten teacher? Its an absolute clown show.

[Apparatchik]

They trained this guy. I am reflexively skeptical of conspiracy theories, but this is starting to stink.

[EasySt]

The very likely engineered escalating incompetence of our public “servants”
needs to come to an abrupt end, with a good half of them out of government,
forever.

Whistleblowers claim Trump’s security detail was mostly ‘unfamiliar’ DHS agents, not Secret Service, Sen. Hawley reveals

[dragnet2]

Maybe you saw it, but there is video out there showing Cheatle running from Senators questions as they chased her through the Convention center..It was unbelievable.

[clashfan]

Not only did they not give him more SS agents, they pulled most of his regular ones to go to Jill’s appearance in Pittsburgh the same day at 5:00 pm, then sent in untrained DEA agents to cover Trump. Therefore they significantly decreased his level of protection.

[Leep]

She’s got the look

[God luvs America]

I am also skeptical of conspiracy theories but i was at the Trump rally in the south Bronx and there were drones and helicopters buzzing over our heads more than 2 hours before the rally began and long past its ending...

Yet they couldn’t find this guy on an open roof??

[popdonnelly]

This isn’t some sophisticated international plot, this was a 20 year old kid that did this. We have to do better.

Either that or the Secret Service has set op a concierge service for assassins and terrorists.

Thankfully the Progressive Left Democrats and the Biden Administration peeps are too incompetent and feckless to execute a proper conspiracy.
