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.

Biden did make the “won’t know what hit him” and “time to put Trump in the bullseye” statements, I think.
Means, motive and opportunity
I do not think the SS of days gone by would’ve said this. The buck stops with them and they know it. The SS, like other American institutions, is rotting away.
He used to be the spokesman for Baltimore Police. I always thought that he was halfway competent.
Guess that’s one more thing I’m wrong about
I doubt that statement is legit. No way they would allow him to speak this early or to throw the SS Director under the bus
I’m waiting for a show, maybe Blue Bloods, to have a FEEB show up at a crime scene and start barking orders only to have an NYPD cop tell him “ I don’t work for you!!”
Finger pointing, it is what incompetent government workers do, I’m not at all surprised. case closed.
This is the easiest way for incompetent government officials to make this go away. Don't expect even a scintilla of accountability.
That’s my thought too. There’s no way that dozens of people heard the SWAT sniper asking for permission to fire and absolutely none of them reacted as a patriot.
“...but where did you did you find the “1000 yards” citation?”
Past experience as DPST for the military and it was mentioned day before yesterday by a 14 year CIA agent on a FOX news interview, Dan Bongina. His info is probably more current than mine as I left my DOD position 12 years ago. And the info he mentioned was also in effect when this old dinosaur was there. And if they did their sweeps right, the bomb dogs were probably brought in the morning of, it was checked for residual radiation with ANPDR’s and Pacs, and spots overlooked earlier for possible barriers were taken out or blocked off. They also had drones in the air and boots on the ground. This is SOP for security for a current or past president at an event, minimum.
Here’s some reading that might help:

. The SS and FBI told him. I don't know but that is the Question.
If the SS tasked the local police with that part of it, the SS should have confirmed what the local police did to make sure it was handled. This excuse sounds like a highschooler. Pathetic.
Difficult to do, but their answer only makes them look worse.
Dear Lord, thank You for Your protection of President Trump.

They had three minutes. Nobody issued orders to sweep Trump off the stage or shield his body. Nobody issued permission to shoot.
That's proof of responsibility. I'm wondering if those radio communications are recorded.
“””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.”””
I saw this headlined this morning on CFP and said to myself—”The Secret Service is digging their hole deeper”
However, at this point it really doesn’t matter how deep the hole is.
The American Public has been hit on the side of their head with the latest example of how corrupt the US Government has become.
“””Was that stupid kid recruited? Was he a patsy?”””
We have all read stories about pedophiles ‘grooming’ kids on the internet for sexual pleasures.
Well, it would not be out of the question to read about ‘anarchists’ or ‘deep state actors’ who are ‘grooming’ kids to be assassins.
If I may… SS can delegate TASKS, but they cannot pass responsibility or blame.

I dunno. Also heard the FBI cuffed and questioned him, and he quit his job, so who knows?
