Acting Secret Service Chief Played Key Role in Limiting Resources for Trump
Real Clear Politics ^ | 07/30/2024 | Susan Crabtree

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was directly involved in denying additional security resources and personnel, including counter snipers, to former President Trump’s rallies and events – despite repeated requests by the agents assigned to Trump’s detail in the two years leading up to his July 13 attempted assassination, according to several sources familiar with the decision-making.

Rowe succeeded former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned last week after bipartisan calls following her widely panned testimony before the House Oversight Committee. But both Rowe and Cheatle were directly involved in decisions denying requests for more magnetometers, additional agents, and other resources to help screen rallygoers at large, outdoor Trump campaign gatherings.

It was Rowe’s decision alone to deny counter sniper teams to any Trump event outside of driving distance from D.C., these sources asserted.

Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate are set to appear Tuesday before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security and Government Affairs committees.

This is not negligence. This is trying to make it easier for what they want to happen. Or worse, orchestration.

Good luck finding anyone sympathetic with conservatives within the Federal government.

Rowe says all the SS decisions come from the war room, so it’s a room that needs to be fired.

Did he vehemently criticize himself for being Deep State-complicit by squeezing the resources to protect Trump?

When the fbi raided his FL home. They had intentions to shoot.. If he objected,... and they would make sure he objected. He was not home.

Trump says they are after all of us.. He is standing in the way. Truth!!

On a side note.. 2 attempts.. God protected Trump.

It is like the prison guards paid to turn around and not notice ones brutally beating or stabbing the victim.

Secret Service prefers the Dems and is just as biased as the MSNBC or CNN types who present only the biased news items that help their personal choice for winning an election.

Used to be considered wrong but after the 1980s or so the young people coming up thought they could take the privilege of just giving their editorial opinions as “news.”

But as a Christian radio person said three days ago: “All that would be needed is one agent paid off or blackmailed into killing a President.” Chilling.

Right after Trump was hit, RAV showed a video of an attendee trying to get security to see there was a man on that roof.. The security didn’t seem bothered.. More than one tried to get security to get that person on the roof.

They did not even try..

I saw a Dan Bongino video a couple of days ago where he said Ronald Rowe is probably worse than Cheatle.

Yes-— which is why the smart police people of Beaver County got videos directly to Senator Grassley for the very committee that will be chatting with these clowns.. in Senate hearings tomorrow.

Locals were being dumped on as “causes” and thus do not and did not trust Secret Service and certainly not the DHS “security” team substituted for the regular protective detail on July 13th in Butler,PA. Why? it’s now known that the Secret Service did not attend/participate in the event security final briefing on Sat. 13 July morning! The Chief Agent in charge was not there and no one else from SS. Imagine that!

So when Rowe said, after looking over the assassination scene, that he was embarrassed, he meant he was embarrassed it failed.

So Rowe made a decision that cost a man his life. Wonder if he sleeps at night?

"The feds tried to kill president Trump period!"

The Acting SS Director used his testimony and flim-flam responses in a continuing attempt to drape as much incompetence over the deliberate actions of the security team which aided the assassin in his attempt to kill Trump, and ending up wounding Trump and two others, and murdering a Trump supporter.

Some DeepState stooge will need to take the fall for this. I suspect the DeepStaters right now are isolating that person from being able to implicate anyone higher up. Things are probably really tense now at the SS HQ.
