Whoever the Secret Service agent in charge was left the roof unguarded, somehow failed to align the communication line between the state, local, and SS, and for some reason ignored a guy walking around with a rangefinder and acting strange for over an hour. Who was the agent in charge? I don’t think we have been told.
SS not revealing the info to give him/her due process in whatever investigation is taking place
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.
