Secret Service blames local police, says it was tasked with securing properties surrounding Trump’s Pa. rally

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.

Bull-ogna. Another sappy “whatifism” to deflect from what we all know, or that is, any reasoning, deducing American. This was an inside job. Period.

C’mon People. This was so blatant that Helen Keller could determine what the heck was going on here. These IDIOTIC “after the fact” explanations are banal and without any merit. This was an inside job. The only error? That little Assassin MISSED. Time to DEMAND Mike Johnson and “Team Mitch” get on the scene and find out who was in charge of this assassination plot.

1. DEI
2. Highers wanted Donald J. Trump killed.

Not “either/or”, it’s both.

Did you hear that a lady on the ground recognized Crooks, and said, “Crooks, what are you doing up there? Come down!”

Not surprising since he went to high school in the area.

Who helped him in the planning? Will the feds cover this up?

Let the Blame Shifting begin.

It better be the SS’s job. They know how to do it much better. Or they SHOULD know how to do it much better.

There’s a graphic from 4chan that includes the statement from the officer that held fire. It’s here on FR.

Oh, hell no. Yes; they failed; but no, it was the Secret Service’s responsiblity to train them and check their work.

Biden doesn’t appear in public that much. What all times are there video from last week? I’ve been asking everybody about this, and nobody can remember exactly when it was.

rdcbn1: You posted the scary summary of what happened!

What is unreally of unreality is the fact that the SS had the shooter armed with a high power rifle in their sights for at least 3 minutes while Trump was on stage and watched the assassin set up to shoot Trump.

All the SS guys on stage had to do was step up to the stage , surround Trump and escort him off stage to safety and nobody would have been hurt.

First time in history that an armed assassin has been watched by body guards move into position, set up a rifle to shoot person, they are protecting and take a shot before taking any action.

If these stories are true, and they certainly seem to be true since we have several minutes of video of the shooter, the person in charge of the SS security team literally stood by and watched and waited for Donald Trump to be shot.

“I saw someone who was a regular, long hair, Maga hat on, who, claimed that when the “secret service” agents moving AWAY FROM THE CRIME SCENE, HE TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO GO ....TOWARD THE GUN SHOTS.

He was/is probably a First Responder for the local cops.

Good First Responders protect the innocent and take out or neutralize the bad guys.

I believe it was when he was in Detroit. I found videos of his whole “speech” but I saw a clip of just that statement and wanted to re-find that. Spent way too much time looking for it and came up empty.

At the 14:15 mark

Not when you’re running against a pathological liar. Not when he hadn’t been challenged in a way that he’s about to be challenged,” Biden said with a sinister look on his face.

I wonder if it’s been scrubbed already. Did you listen to the whole speech, trying to find just that part?

If you didn’t listen to the whole speech trying to find it, could you post the link to the whole speech? I really struggle to be able to listen to him at all because lies make me really angry; it’s like I’m allergic to them. But if doing so would help us find that quote I’d be willing to give it a go, flex my spiritual self-control muscles (if I have any left. lol)

Thank you!

That’s it, that’s the statement, and yes it was a sinister look. I got a bad vibe on it when I first heard it and that was days before the assassination attempt.

Wish I could find the clip that isolates those remarks. Makes it a lot easier to get people here and on X to take the time to see it.

Straight up lie

Sec Service owns any event site it guards. No matter what assets they use, local, country, state, federal the Sec Service is in overall command of securing the site. They left it uncovered. That is wholly their failure.
