RealClearPolitics White House and National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree dropped an important report on the failure of the Secret Service to protect President Donald J. Trump and those around him during last week’s Pennsylvania rally.
According to Crabtree, the potential lack of drones and the “DEI” protocols at the Secret Service contributed to the failure, but the biggest reason Trump’s life was put in danger is because rules of engagement prohibit snipers from engaging until the assassin shoots first.

Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?
Not a failure, a plan
He looks back at the person — presumably his boss — who's ordering him away, puts his hands out to either side in a "what the hell?" gesture, and backs away from his position.
Maybe this explains why Bidog holds so few rallies. /S
Pure lunacy........
But in Mar-a-Lago, they had full authority to use deadly force.
Bongino just said on his radio show that this is Bullsh*t!
This can’t be true. Right????
Makes sense! You can’t just kill any old person for assassination if he doesn’t “assassinate” anyone!? What’s wrong with you people?!!
(Should have put sarcasm tag)
I don't believe this is true.
Are they saying if one (not me!) walked up to a president and pulled a gun they would not engage me? Till I fired first?
Or does this policy only extend to ex-presidents named Trump?
If true (and that is a big if) someone on the inside set this up.
In other words, don’t fire until Trump is dead.
F them.
Internet rumors are that the counter-sniper had the perp sighted but was denied permission to shoot. Then the SS man was immediately fired for making this info public. Need source.
Horrifying if true.
So the SS gives the Prez LESS protection, than the average person defending themselves or somebody else?
The standard of “immanent threat to life” replaced by “they get ONE free shot”?
If you are in that job, you presumably qualify as a good shot. The shooter can be disabled
I was going to say the same thing, at some point, all these “failures” and allegations of incompetence at some point turn into planned results and activities.
The idea of not returning fire until an assassin takes the first shot is insane, a competent assassin on Saturday and Trump would be dead, which I contend is what the desired result is.
If so, they’re doing a bang-up job of making it believable. That Keystone Kops routine near the limo yesterday was epic. The three girls had no idea where they were or what they were supposed to do. On the other hand, though, leaving that rooftop completely unguarded just couldn’t have been an oversight. Even a group of mall cops tasked with creating a security plan would have figured that one out.
But in Mar-a-Lago, they had full authority to use deadly force.
Why do you think they ordered all security cameras turned off when they arrived?
