RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree reported that the Secret Service agents “protecting” former President Donald Trump at yesterday’s rally in which he was shot were “temporary replacements from different field offices.
“New info from a source in the Secret Service community — Trump’s usual protective Secret Service detail was worked so hard (working 7 days a week with no days off) that many of agents assigned Saturday were temporary replacements from different field offices,” posted Crabtree on X. “This is not the usual protocol for sitting presidents and vice presidents but ‘typical’ for former presidents, (although no former presidents have run again in modern history.)”
“’Trump has a permanent detail, however it’s much smaller in the amount of bodies,’ the source said. ‘His detail has been worked so hard with all the travel that they’re working 7 days a week with shift changes. so HQ sends in temp agents to supplement – not a good scenario. Mission Failure, IMHO.'”

Crabtree said two sources from within the Secret Service told her that the “only permanent agent from Trump’s detail during the Pennsylvania rally was SAIC (Special Agent In Charge) Kern.”
Of the counter sniper team that killed the shooter only after he killed one rally attendee, shot the former President and injured two others, Crabtree posted:

Another Secret Service source says approval for the Counter Sniper Team was only granted the day before the rally - and that is not enough time for a two-man team to do their survey.

I find this new excuse very fishy.
Yeah, blame Trump’s schedule.
does anybody believe that this attempt wasn’t planned? anybody?
Crooks seemed to have impeccable timing...
Unreal, temps assigned, and, per the last sentence quoted below, Pittsburgh field office personnel pulled for Jill duty

& Daughters of America dinner when Trump’s shooting took place, yesterday.
Her presence required S/S detail and, as a result, diverted Secret Service in
Western PA from the Trump rally held in Butler, Pa, where the shooting took place.
I have read that Jill Biden was also in Pennsylvania and drew away some of Trump’s SS protection.
Why? Because it was an inside job.
BTTT.
Someone was in cahoots. Antifa has connections in ss.
Message: Subpoena these lawmakers. Taxpayers demand to know who organized this heinous assault on democracy-----exposing candidates to harm and assassination----and the number of tax dollars and tax-subsidized aides and office supplies that were used in this atrocity.
geee coincidence after coincidence pile up but people are somehow wrong for at least asking the question “could this be more than a lone wolf.’
At what point will people stop be blind sheep to the slaughter.
On Break???
That headline is a gross overstatement.
Why couldn’t those women SS agents be assigned to Jill. Especially the one who was too fat to holster her gun..
Trump has repeatedly asked that his SS detail be increased and has been repeatedly been turned down. Bet they find the resources now.

Sounds like scene from Godfather movie.
They were temporarily replaced by placeholders in order so that the would be assassin could do his thing.
Someone knew what was coming.
And they screwed up just a bit.
Fits with reports of the countersnipers being told to stand down.
