Dissension, ‘Toxicity’ Plagued Trump’s Secret Service Detail Before Assassination Attempt
Real Clear Politics ^ | 8/22/24 | Susan Crabtree

Posted on 08/12/2024 9:12:56 PM PDT by CaptainK

"Over the last two weeks, the Secret Service inspections department, which investigates employee misconduct, is homing in on allegations against an agent on the Trump detail who played a key role during the Butler rally and is partially responsible for developing the security plan, which contained egregious mistakes that left an opening for shooter Thomas Crooks.°

"The allegations against the site agent are a separate matter.The agent is now under the microscope not only for her role in devising the security plan for the rally. She’s also facing internal scrutiny for posting videos and photos from her protective assignments to social media. The Secret Service discourages the practice, especially while standing watch on protective duty because it can pinpoint to would-be assailants exactly where the Secret Service positions its assets, risking the protectee and fellow law enforcement agents and officers, according to several sources within the Secret Service community."

Was she the agent who intentionally cleared the path for Crooks to bring a ladder and a rifle? How did Crooks KNOW that this roof would be available to him on rally day?

That opening sure was useful for the FIB's patsy.

That’s the agent and she still has a SS job.

A good question may be, why weren’t the Top Shelf people assigned to Trump?

There were many things ridiculously wrong that day, any competent person working that day would’ve changed the trajectory.

The Nazis had their SS and we have ours, it seems.

”The Secret Service discourages the practice, especially while standing watch on protective duty…”

Gosh, why? Seems overly restrictive. Followers need their updates and stuff.

If we had a non partisan FBI why would get to the bottom of this quickly and arrests would be made.

Everyone knows this was a set up.

“Those encountering the sleeping individuals should have simply held the team members accountable by waking them up with a nudge, he said.”


Giant Red Flag. Nudging someone is not holding them accountable, and command were likely undermining those sounding the alarm on work behavior and close calls.


I’ve worked in those conditions and the people sleeping in mission critical jobs did it night after night, and planned their daytime activities around sleeping at their posts.



Epstein’s guards were sleeping.

“She”

There’s going to be lots more about her coming out, soon, I’ll bet.

I’m surprised there are leaks in the SS. Maybe the good agents want the bad seed DEIs gone?

“She” most likely was an unqualified DEI hire.

Anyone who watched the major media news in March to June 1998 would know what a big deal this is for a SS agent info to be publicized so much. Back then the question was about any SS agent telling Ken Starr or a Grand Jury about the proximity of an Intern being near the President while the President was at the White House.

According to article the agents assigned to the Trump event might have been the best Secret Service agents available, some of the incidents listed in the article make the Secret Service agents all appear to be Barney Fife

The one incident where a guy walked into the Miami Field office, watched a. Little porn, took a shower, and found a bed to sleep in overnight, asked for and received coffee the next morning before being confronted doesn’t give you a sense of a professional law enforcement organization

Her well known incompetance is exactly why she was intentionally placed on that detail as part of the overall J13 plan.

"How did Crooks KNOW that this roof would be available to him on rally day?"

You mean available to him in the 90 minutes or so of PDJT's speech. Crooks sent up a reconnaissance drone at ~4pm, that's part of it.

Crooks knew or surmised there would be a CS team (Hercules 1, on the north barn) facing toward PDJT's 3 o'clock, his desired general location, given the security perimeter's proximity to the protectee--again, an inside factoid that was convenient to know.

The team on the south barn would reasonably face toward PDJT's 9 o'clock. (They did so until 80 seconds before Crooks started shooting, when they repositioned to face almost directly toward Crooks, and unobscured by any tree--oops, too late for a new plan.) Crooks picked the (dangerously steep) hidden ridge spot on the AGR building that was 90 degrees to PDJT's right (head positioned flat-on as he would be facing forward). Secondly, Crooks would adjust slightly eastward to be hidden from the north CS team's view, still hindered by the tree that was in the way, just exactly at that spot.

Hiding so subtly from the north CS team suggests inside information. (Is that Crooks FBI and/or a firmer-than-a-video BlackRock connection real?) If Crooks had known there would be a CS team that could see him and would be authorized to shoot a sniper like him as soon as he spotted a rifle, Crooks--a supposedly smart kid--would have abandoned his dead-ending errand without knowing a path had been cleared for him.

Check all bank accounts of the lookout (and all his recent contacts and family) that deserted his post, supposedly due to the heat!   (Crooks had $1.5M in foreign bank accounts, it's rumored?!?!?)   And...

"How was the secret service supposed to know the local law enforcement stationed on that roof were going to abandon their post." ?

Because the ultimate responsibility for VERIFYING every part of the USSS plan's execution lay not with local LEs but the USSS, of course. How dare Rowe try to pretend otherwise! (Why is this guy--Acting Director of a group with a $3B budget--thrashing his reputation by lying? Beyond WEIRD, eh?   A cover-up indicates a crime has been committed!)

If a USSS person had been keeping abreast of the half-hour-old (plus!) issue active at PDJT's 3 o'clock, counter surveillance would have successfully challenged Crooks within the first several minutes of him being identified as a suspicious person. Challenging him would have included looking through his backpack and arresting him for what would have been found therein.

This last point and Rowe's disregard for it is so egregious that it tends to strengthen the likelihood of having been part of a cabal's plan to put "[PDJT] in the bulls-eye."
