"Who was the agent in charge?"

As far as I know, they haven't named the Agent on the scene who was in charge of coordinating the event with local law enforcement. There had to be one...somebody supervising all the SS people. And as we know, some of those so-called "agents" weren't Secret Service, but on loan from TSA, which is totally unheard of. You don't mix law enforcement agencies within a department...i.e., you don't use State Police to fill empty slots at local police departments. It just isn't done, and is probably against the law.

Local police said they had no communication with the SS prior to the shooting. According to people here, Ronald Rowe, who was Assistant to Cheatle, but is now Acting Director of the SS, was in charge of scheduling coverage for the event. He testified in the Senate yesterday, and Senator Cruz tore him apart. He was asked multiple times how many SS Agents are used to cover current Presidents versus former Presidents at events, and he couldn't, more like wouldn't answer. He kept tap-dancing around, saying he would get those numbers for Cruz. He also said that the claim that SS Agents were pulled from Trump's event to be used elsewhere was a lie, but again, wouldn't provide evidence. Rowe obviously knew the answer but chose not to elaborate on it. Stall, obfuscate, and lie.

We still don’t know the onsite SS commander in charge of making decisions like holding the primary etc. DEI type I’ll bet.

In the video taken at 6:08 p.m. on July 13, the person appears on the roof of the building adjacent to where Trump is speaking and can be seen walking from the 1:00 second mark to about the 2:50 second mark.

Officials believe gunman Thomas Crooks, 20, began shooting with a collapsible AR-15-style rifle three minutes later, around 6:11 p.m. Counter snipers fatally shot Crooks shortly afterward, and law enforcement officials found eight shell casings near his body.

---------------------------------------------

To recap what they are asking people who have actually shot a rifle at a target 150 yards away and those that have not, they are claiming that in less than three minutes(I timed it) Crooks went from walking across a roof and then transitioning to a prone position on a hot roof and firing a perfect head shot that only missed by the grace of God when President Trump turned his head. All that with no scope and no sand bags.

Case closed. There was more than one shooter.

Yeah, and there are two roofs behind this was/were and no one who was in the building could see him? Were they preparing powdered donuts for the crime scene?

No effin way.

Everyone there knew something was up and all the way back to DC. If I had been there I would think it odd a building, particularly this one, didn’t have anyone on it or the buildings with higher elevation 20 feet behind and it would be stranger not to see anyone on the water tower.

If they were on the same level as Crooks, and could look across to where he was, and he was in their sight of vision, then they are lying through their teeth.

They were actually at a higher vantage point I think, so should have had an even better view of him than this video

Can’t put military on Trump. Biden is the supposed Commander In Chief. This would never happen.

I hate to tell ya, but the UPPER command infrastructure of the US military is as woke as they come. Just like the 3 letter organizations.

“Could victim’s family sue and force USSS and FBI to give all evidence in a court?”

They can sue, but the case would not survive a motion to dismiss because — like LEO — the SS owes no duty of care to the general public. (FYI: Negligence requires a breach of duty, and in the absence of a duty of care, there cannot be negligence even if the damages are horrific.)

The SS and the Biden Regime attempted to assassinate President Trump.

This is the most damning clip I have seen of this event. You can’t tell me all of the SS people at this event failed to see or respond to this guy running across the roof and getting into firing position, while they just let Trump keep talking.

Trump is in danger as we are.

Yep. Stop looking to the GOP for help, they are as worthless and corrupt as the Democrats.

Even more telling.
