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 just found this tag at Breitbart’s: https://www.breitbart.com/tag/assassination-attempt/
I call ca-ca on this - it only takes two minutes to look up and see a building within 400 feet of the stage.This should have set bells ringing in someone's head.
“So, Trump’s regular SS team didn’t get rested up during a three week trial where his travel was very limited?”
Or have a rotational schedule where only one or two are off at a time? No employer I’ve ever worked for would give the entire staff days off at the same time and use temps to cover for them all.
We would be idiots to believe all these coincidences.
This “event “ was intentional.
All others were temps. Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her, the source said. Also - the advance work only occurred one-day beforehand bc of a lack of resources.Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle says to her staff, "but how can we take all of the usual Trump detail away from him?" They brainstorm and decide that Jill Biden will go for a visit to Pittsburgh which would mean that President Trump's detail had to be sent to Pittsburgh.Where were the resources?
The Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her.
“That is f—-ing unbelievable to me,” the source remarked.
Everything was just so convenient. 🤔
Lincoln wanted Maj. Thomas Eckert to go with him to Ford’s Theater, but Stanton, who opposed Lincoln’s less vindictive Reconstruction plans, ordered the major not to go.
Remember the FBI was authorized to use deadly force in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
BINGO!! Plus the LITTLE BUN GIRL!!
Thinking the SAME thing!! Are they going to SHADOW TRUMP’S RALLIES to DRAIN the SS coverage?
The SS Deployed its SS DEI Team to “protect” Trump.
Do we know when they planned the Jill Biden visit? Was it after Trump's team planned the Butler rally?
I think it’s worse than that. I suspect old Joe had an executive order ready to ban firearms when his opponent was gone, that his administration was prepared to use to chaos to push through gun control.
Antifa is more like the Brownshirts, I’m thinking.
