Inexperienced Secret Service agent called tech support hotline for help piloting drone ahead of Trump rally shooting: bombshell report

Among the key failures, an agent inexperienced with drone equipment called a toll-free tech support hotline for help after a request ahead of time for additional unmanned assets was denied, according to a preliminary summary of findings made public Wednesday. According to the committee, he had just an hour of informal training with the device.

Amazing. Looks to me like the informal training happened the day before when the SS agent took the drone out of the box to play with it. Some higher up SS agents told the locals to stuff their drones...

Yeah, but I'll bet he can name every 'gender' and knows all the damn 'pronouns' that'll give him a spot at the commie table. What a jerk.

If you look at it from a common sense stand point, the whole thing is a sham.

I’ve come to believe that much of what the government does is choreographed. Take the never ending shooting events in the U.S. I no longer buy into the government’s disingenous narrative that accompanies these events. No, most, if not all are choreographed productions, created behind the scene in such a way that the government producers can claim cover for the horrific event as nothing more than oversight mistakes. It’s all a ‘win, win’ game for the choregraphers because the pols only wind up throwing more money their way. No one gets tagged, no one is held accountable. Take the Butler shooting, they would have us believe that it was just shortsightedness, not enough personnel, failed postings, funding deficiencies, bad coms, technical glitches with drones, and on and on it goes. What they are really doing by tossing out these distracting shiny objects is drawing the public’s attention away from their horrific sinister underlying machinations, which in Butler was directing and producing an event that sought the assassination of Trump. The apparatchiks production crews are laughing and celebrating over beers, priding themselves on being too slick to be found out, too cute by half over their ‘deplorable charges.’ They fully believe they can hide in the shadows by claiming their horrific handiwork is nothing more than individuals who unfortunately made mistakes on the job.

“...who unfortunately made mistakes on the job.”

I have friends that did a lot of the pre-inspection work when ever a protected person or group is moved. He was the proud owner of a bomb sniffing dog.

The checklist to provide the safety of the individual is very extensive and covers days before and day after operation orders that cover about everything you can dream up. One mistake could be a disaster, but this partcular failure was filled with them. And that lack of effort to do the job right is evident and someone has to be in charge of these people. It was no mistake, it was a concerted effort to leave the door open for the loss of lives and the followup creation of lame excuses that couldn’t possibly happen without an effort. I share your thoughts.

There are highly trained drone operators out there, many prior military. Problem is liberals decided to hire DEI instead of prior military.

If SS had a dedicated drone specialty division they could have far better coverage. Instead they had former soda pop security.
