Dan Bongino has a scoop info— there were very few actual Secret Service agents there at the rally to protect Trump. The bulk of the team there were.... DHS “security” people— not trained or anywhere near the standards of the Secret Service. This DECISION came from the head of Secret Service— a former Pepsi Security person (the Cheetos Division) Ms. Cheatle (whom Bongino says should be fired btw).
Ms. Cheatle works for Alejandro Mayorkas head of DHS. They have not been inside the Treasury Dept. which is where they should be right now since 2003 the “reorg” that GW Bush came up with idiotically to prevent security disasters by forming the “Homeland” Security. An equally stupid name taken from the UK notion of the “Home Guard” from WWII. Just... lame. No higher security clearance than the Secret Service under the Treasury Dept agency— wonder what it is now they are diminished by this added gift along with TSA from GW Bush. We ‘feel’ so much more secure.
Bongino tomorrow should be an high powered show.

Incredible as it may seem, it's beginning to look like the most rational and plausible explanation for this "security failure" is this was a Biden Administration DHS planned hit on President Trump and all the failures were intentional.
And the scary thing is, if Trump had been killed, they would have gotten away with it.
“The bulk of the team there were.... DHS “security” people”
This makes sense. If you watch the footage of security officers around the stage (not one it), there are a ton, many of whom are women, with their pistols drawn, fanning the crowd.
It’s a basic practice to hold a weapon at low ready until you identify a target. You don’t indiscriminately point your weapon into a large crowd of people while sauntering your fat ass around the venue looking for bad guys.

If she's really this incompetent (as opposed to being malicious), why did the SS keep her around for 27 years?
