Warning signs about Secret Service emerged months before Trump assassination attempt

Driving Vice President-elect Kamala Harris by an undetected bomb. Refusing extra resources for a presidential candidate. Admitting an agent on a White House detail assaulted her supervisor. 

Long before the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday night such focused a harsh light on the Secret Service, the presidential security agency was already facing difficult questions about its capability, training, recruitment and emphasis on diversity.

Secret Service agents reportedly were even circulating a petition raising questions about their management a few weeks ago.

Those questions are now certain to receive intense new attention after video footage showed a gunman on was able to scale a building less than 200 yards from Trump, get to a shooting perch with a rifle and fire several rounds before being neutralized by a Secret Service sniper team at the event Saturday night in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Several witnesses said they started to yell the man had a gun before he started shooting. And several lawmakers say they are now investigating reports that the Trump campaign had requested additional security resources recently, and was turned down. 

“How could you have somebody on the rooftop?” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, himself a victim of political violence when he was seriously wounded at a congressional baseball practice. “There are reports that people watched him climb up the roof and even alerted authorities, and we're going to be looking into that.”

How could that happen with all the authorities around that they miss something so clear that the shooter was able to get that kind of line of sight just 150 yards away from the stage?”

“The paper shredding machines are working overtime in the Hussein/Biden Regime to cover up as much as possible.”
I agree. The REGIME is covering it’s tracks. They’re so busy that the Secret Service and the FBI have NOT held ONE press conference.
NOTHING but 🦗🦗🦗🦗crickets. We’ve only heard a few short jumbled speeches from the puppet whose probably afraid Hussein is going after him NEXT.

Biden is not of Italian descent. However, Jill Biden is of Italian ancestry on her father’s side.

Anyone else notice the many - ahem - ‘hips’ surrounding DJT’s armored SUV after he was herded in for transport?

Everything about the secret service was a disgrace pre & post attempted assassination.

Has the female running the Secret Service shown her face yet? Or is she still hiding?

If she had any sense of honor she would have already resigned.

The bar for USSS employment used to be very high. Now it’s all DEI hires.

The more I see actual video of the shooter climbing up the roof and the people screaming their lungs out at police to do something the more I am convinced that this was purposely done to keep the SS snipers to stand down. Whoever was in charge of the SS detail gave the stand down order to take out the sniper. They are already coming out defending their character. They were told to stand down for three minutes. This was orchestrated by the FBI CIA and DOJ they were hoping the sniper would take out Trump. This is unacceptable and I am infuriated! I want our freaking representatives to call in emergency meeting tomorrow And do something. Not next week not in two weeks ….tomorrow!

Yeah. One of the female ss agents was on the rag at Andrews AFB (joint base blah blah) and had to be subdued and put in restraints.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Worse, reports are the police officer observed the shooter for THREE MINUTES through his scope and was denied permission to take him out before he opened fire on Trump.

The photo of Trump just after he was shot shows the girl at least a foot shorter than Trump. She almost came up to his chin leaving his head completely exposed.
