Let's cut to the chase - the US Secret Service: In on it? Or just totally crap?
Well, I've thought the Secret Service were rubbish not just since we learned of the Cartagena hookers but for at least another decade before that. And increasingly, when it comes to American officialdom - from Kabul to Uvalde - to modify Henry Ford, you can get it in any colour as long as it's bloated, lavishly over-funded and entirely dysfunctional.
And yet and yet... it's hard to believe even these guys (plus their bevy of five-foot-two-eyes-of-blue Keystone chorus girls) could be this crap. Assuming for the purposes of argument that the body on the roof is actually that of the perp, a goofball barely out of high school hatched a plan to have Donald Trump's head explode in close-up on live TV - and, wittingly or otherwise, the world's most flush money-no-object security state did their best to help him pull it off.
In any accountable "public service", the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secret Service gal would already be gone. By this point after the Argentine invasion of the Falklands, Lord Carrington (Foreign Secretary), Sir Humphrey Atkins (Lord Privy Seal) and Richard Luce (Minister for Latin-American Affairs) had already resigned: see my column of September 17th 2001 expressing in my naïve Canadian way mystification as to why, six days later, all the 9/11 flopperoos had not been similarly dispatched.
Because that's how it goes in the Republic of Non-Accountability, and, if he's harbouring any doubts about his fitness for the job, Mayorkas figures it can wait till someone takes out RFK Jr. This is a depraved political culture.

Just Wow, Mark Steyn. This is the best assessment yet.
Pass it around!
Th3y could be which is why ss, guards, and cops need to coordinate and knwo exactly where their men and women are. And again, president Trump should have been secured immediately while the situation was playing out. The ss screwed up big time.
If this indeed was the Deep State behind it, it just illustrates how brazen they’ve become; that they can do virtually anything and get away with it.
Somewhere there is video from Saturday evening of cops dragging a very alive person out of that crowd after it happened. Who was that?
There was also talk of more than one attacker.
Since then, it hasn’t been mentioned.
If you are not showing arms they will not shoot.
____
One, you are likely to get shot setting off explosives. The SS just proved they are very fallible in a shoot/don’t shoot scenario.
Two, you aren’t getting if you show up with firecrackers.
Three, that kind of thinking takes preparation and training.
Exactly- folks did think at first it was firecracker went off, but even if it was, in a different scenario with no actual shooter i mean, the response of the ss near him should have been swift to get him to safety until it could be determined what made the noise. A warning shot by ss before perp was at the edge and set up would have set in motion protection, and Investigation of the perp
Totally agree. The cop didn’t have a radio? I thought ALL cops had them in this day and age.
> it’s possible they were both present. Multiple shooters are preferred for these types of operations, to eliminate a single point of failure. For whatever reason, Crooks has been the designated fall guy, or patsy.
I think this is true. Yearick was the shooter, Crooks the spotter. They look somewhat similar but the scar on the ear tells a lot as it’s not just a blood splotch but had depth. Yearick was involved with antifa for a long time, so if he was revealed to be the shooter, it would enrage a lot of people. Best to put a bullied 20 year old that was somehow angry at trump while the kid was in middle school during the trump years.
Also, yearick was arrested multiple times and had the impetus. Crooks was 20!and probably thought he would survive the ordeal. There was probably extensive training involved as well.
The truth will come out.
Good article - Steyn is right on the money here.
The pictures of the dead perp’s head are revealing from the police photos. The perp had two bumps on the rim of his right ear that is a primary identifier. A narrow nose and other indicators suggest it wasn’t Crooks.
There are other photos of Maxwell Yearick with those bumps on his right ear, narrow nose, darker hair, etc. That’s where all this conspiracy begins actually, trying to place this dead perp as Crooks. Was Crooks involved, more than likely. Was this an attempt to protect ANTIFA from being declared a terrorist organization.
Strange that the perp would have a wierd right ear considering Trump was shot in his right ear.
“If you were too busy trying to point out the guy on the roof to the Secret Service telephonist at 1-800-KILL-SHOT”
Steyn is a World Treasure.
Winner winner, chicken dinner! 👍
Scathingly witty and on point!
Steyn’s is the most cutting summation I’ve seen.
p
Normal MAGA people with zero training in security spotted the shooter on the rooftop, but dozens of SS agents on the ground didn't?
SS Agents and other LEO couldn't get their main job done.
But they were busy pushing people around afterward (see video of Trump supporters telling media bank that this was their fault and LE swooping in to protect the newsies).
I wonder if the assassin was told beforehand that the rooftop overlooking Trump would be empty and there would be a latter to get to it waiting?
