The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside of the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting.
Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according the New York Times.
The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and secure the area outside of the rally.

WHAT? Of all of the lamest copouts, of all of the most cowardly, simpering redirections, of all of the basest failures to take responsibility in modern times, this has to rank near the top. I know how these guys come in, “Oh, yeah, we’re the pros from the federal government, we have the rules of engagement, the tactical command, the complete control over the situation on the ground, and you will follow our direction.” And now it’s “Oh, the principal got shot? Not our fault.” Bullshit.
The Secret Service needs to pull up their big boy (girl) pants and take responsibility for this SNAFU. It is on THEM. They had ONE job and they royally screwed up.
The locals are not experts on security.
They’re in “cya” mode.
Exactly.
It’s “almost like he was given detailed information on where to be”.
And he screwed up.
Heck, he got spotted and highlighted by people, and the cops went Mr Magoo over it.
This effort to pass the buck is already covered in their failed efforts to prote4ct Trump and it is written in Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3056.
I won’t try to poach regs from the entry, but here is the entire law:

You might pay attention to start with section A, 10 and (b)1, A, B, and C. The only major difference between a sitting president and a past is that the past can waive the protection. If the past doesn’t waive, and for the sitting POTUS it is required and they are in total control of the area up to 1000 yards from the targeted individual. They can’t blame local authority.

That is because "Mayberry's Barney" is more competent than the current SS..."Barney" had a bead on the shooter for minutes but was waiting on clearance to shoot from the SS:
Thanks!
That was a big WTF question I had too. My guess was the SS team was purposely selected to offer an illusion of protection (facade), and the SS shooter was directed not to fire until Trump’s sniper fired 1st.
Impossible to believe the SS/locals didn’t have joint commo
Remember, all Intel/LEO and probably most non-LEO agencies have probably been purged of oath defenders. Why, that’s what commies do
I’ve heard that those rooftop guys were local SWAT. They were the ones awaiting a go sign to engage.
Wow. Not their job.
Trump needs to fire SS and get his own security.
This is a rank admission that the SS set up Trump for assassination. They KNEW.
That explains why they knew there was only one shooter and moved wounded Trump out when the radio called “Shooter Down”. Otherwise, how would they know, only one shooter? It was a set up. A trap.
This was a deep state fedgov assassination. No doubt about it.
I have seen the same...also that he was arrested and questioned by FBI. Then quit his job. True or not do not know.

DJT had a bare-bones SS detail. The good ones were called away to some spaghetti feed to cover Jill Biden, I believe.
I wonder why no one was manned atop the water tower, maybe 100 yards away???
That is the highest view/vantage point in the area, not counting building’s to the west
I mean it effin looks right over the was/were perch

This is inexplicable and not forgivable for anything other than this was planned
I’m really beginning to think they let this happen.
It’s shocking that the SS is looking like the damn keystones cops. No pun intended. It would have been better for them to have said nothing at all!
I suppose this is the best those DEI hires can muster
Does any sane person feel good about SS being under Cheatle, Mayorkas, and the Biden gang? Under the category of “sane,” diversity zealots do not come to mind.

Did the SS people around Trump even know?

To find the masterminds behind the attempt to murder Trump, one only needs do special interrogation of all security personnel starting with those on the scene and going up all the way to the White House.
