Why Was Trump’s Dedicated Secret Service Detail On Break During PA Rally?
https://amgreatness.com ^ | 7/14/2024 | By AG News Staff

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.

How fortunate for the assassin. Who ordered the job?

Why was JFK’s motorcade route that was published in advance changed?

Why did the Warren Commission enter into evidence a photocopy of a Dallas newspaper in which the original motorcade route published was blanked out?

Democrat mayor’s brother was General who was head of military intelligence when the Bay of Pigs fiasco went down and was fired by Kennedy.

The changes in Trump’s detail was NOT a mere coincidence.

As murder investigators often say there is NO coincidence in murder investigations.

This is a murder investigation although the victim was not the intended target.

Once again the Libs/Pedo Joe administration create a win win situation for them. If Trump dies, win…big win. If he doesn’t then there has to be a massive investigation taking focus off Trump and his campaign possibly even sideline it while SS people are investigated and interrogated, which will lead no where but will kill more time and for all intents and purposes be just more campaign interference.

They don’t have enough agents dedicated to Trump so they don’t have to work seven days a week for months? That is ridiculous.

Brandon’s DEI head of the SS should lose her head.

I watched FoxNews until dawn. Today feels like Nov 23, 1963. Not to the demonic left, of course. They are entitled to move elsewhere. The number of MAGA voters likely increased 60% today. Soon, media will be playing videos of Biden decrying MAGA supporters as proof of his dementia and mental decline.

The threat level against Trump was a million times higher than the threat level to FLOTUS. They should have kept their best agents with Trump at full force and sent the pathetics to cover FLOTUS.

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.)

I remember a news article that was posted a while ago (might have been on FR) that explained that once a major candidate is the presumptive nominee that the SS is supposed to automatically increase the level of protection for the nominee to a much higher level.

According to the news article, apparently this did not happen for Trump. I remember that in the news article that the Trump campaign had complained about it. Mayorkas then issued a snippy statement the DHS would not increase the level of SS protection until Trump was "officially nominated" at the RNC convention, and not before then.

The news article noted that this was highly unusual and went against traditional norms for protecting the presumptive nominee.

Does anyone remember the news article or have a link to it?

This weekend was the result of rotten dealings by The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate from at least the 1960s.

60+ years of Democrat Crime Families putting their accumulation of wealth ahead of their responsibilities to the citizens of The United States.

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.


Remarkably, under the circumstances, this may be the most rational and plausible explanation for. this epic failure. .

“Someone was in cahoots. Antifa has connections in ss.”
Exactly! Antifa is the Obama/Soros regime’s gestapo. Antifa has been involved in Palestinian protests and all anti-American riots not to mention anti-police riots.
They also like to travel in vans full of guns, explosives and IEDs. We saw them in Oregon. Why aren’t we hearing from the secret service and the same FBI that raided Trump’s home in Florida? They busy covering up the evidence.

The head of the SS needs to be fired and then tried for malfeasance in office. But, since she is a DEI hire, nothing will happen.

So..
A 20 year old who could not shoot straight eluded being seen, avoided being caught by law enforcement while still only to be seen and reported by good old boys and was able to carry his fathers assault rifle up on a rooftop only 133 yards away from the country’s first and only three term president then to get off three shots with 4 hits before being shot dead ,,,,too late???? And too hard to imagine. I don’t buy it.
I would question those in charge of perimeter security, investigate this but not with the corrupt government involved at all. Pull a democrat on them haul to our dc jails.

Can’t wait for it to be let out that Biden ordered it.

It wasn't Biden, it was his handlers Soros, Obama, Jarret, Rice, et al.

Fairly likely.
But I’m sure they have Biden listening to Harry Sisson and talking about sending people after Trump on tape.
