Secret Service Director Admits Police Were in Building from Which Would-Be Assassin Fired
Breitbart ^ | 07/16/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 07/16/2024 9:16:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle noted in a July 15 interview with ABC News that police were in the building from the top of which the would-be assassin fired at Donald Trump.

Cheatle told ABC News that the building on which the would-be assassin took his position was supposed to be secured by local law enforcement officers who were working with Secret Service for perimeter control.

ABC News reported “local authorities were tasked with securing the building where the alleged shooter fired the shots before being taken out by a Secret Service sniper.”

Cheatle also indicated that police were inside the building from which the would-be assassin fired at Donald Trump.

She said:

In this particular instance, we did share support for that particular site and that the Secret Service was responsible for the inner perimeter. And then we sought assistance from our local counterparts for the outer perimeter. There was local police in that building — there was local police in the area that were responsible for the outer perimeter of the building.

Do we even know who the onsite SS person in charge was?

Great question.....listening to Dan Bongino...he hasn’t mentioned it yet.....

But the Chief Operating Officer for the agency is Cynthia Sjoberg Radway

“”I’ve just recently heard that the SS guy that shot Crooks has been fired.. Anyone know anything about this.??””

Good luck getting an answer to that. It was tried all day yesterday but anyone who said it happened didn’t want to respond to FReeper’s questions as to “source.” Total silence when asked for more info. A lot of dabbing in rumors. Amazing how quiet it gets.....

She should tell the truth that they never had a ladder so they had to stay inside but they did use Crook’s ladder afterwards

A very good question. And who was at the Command post "handling" reports coming in about a suspicious person near and around the AKG building.

The woman in charge can’t even get the smallest technical details right. And she has “no intention of leaving”. Perhaps she should be helped.

"I’ve just recently heard that the SS guy that shot Crooks has been fired.. Anyone know anything about this.??"

I don't know anything about it, but I posted this yesterday and got no response. The entry at Brave search has changed today.

Someone in a different thread suggested the following story he found on The Charlie Ward Show. I know nothing of Charlie Ward or 4chan but it's a bombshell if true. What I posted was from a Brave browser search on his name.

Jonathan Willis is a former US Navy veteran and a Fire Lieutenant/Paramedic who has been involved in various fields, including real estate and firearms training. He has gained attention recently due to a widely circulated post on 4chan, where he claimed to be the sniper who was assigned to protect Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to the post, Jonathan Willis had the assassin in his sights for at least 3 minutes but was prevented from taking the shot by the head of the Secret Service. He stated that he did not follow the orders and returned fire despite strict instructions not to engage.

It is essential to note that the authenticity of the post has not been verified, and many have questioned its legitimacy. The Secret Service has not commented on the matter, and the incident remains under investigation.

I agree with intentional incompetence. They are busy constructing their fake defense. That’s why the only information we know is through local eye witnesses and a few anonymous sources.

Possibly the officer was hanging on to the roof with just his hands, had pulled his head up over to get a view but his feet were hanging down. Possibly overweight and had to drop back to the ground. To pull his weapon he would have had to hang on with one hand. 2 minutes, 1minute 30 seconds…
Fire shots in the air. The snipers will look toward the gunfire and see perp.
Trump will be tackled by SS.


FWIW, our much maligned Officer Doughnut peeking over the edge of the roof probably saved Trumps life.

Not by daring heroics perhaps and probably not even by intention, but he almost certainly did.

Like Woody Allen used to say - 80% of success in life is just showing up.

On that day, Woody's 80% solution for success carried the day and just showing up was just good enough. Barely - but enough

Just sayin’

I am beginning to have the opinion that we don’t the name of the Onsite SS person in charge is that that person was another female. If that is the case it just makes the whole DEI story a lot worse, from top to bottom with all those short pony tailed agents trying to cover up a 6 foot plus Trump, and failing.

She is a bureaucrat—former IG elsewhere.

It is highly unlikely she was involved in the assassination plot.

I would be looking at logistics and communications experts.

This DEI broad needed to be fired yesterday
_____________________________
I don’ know if this is true, but I heard she excused the decision for not putting someone up on the roof because the roof was not strong enough to hold a detail. A cheap nut job statement with no common sense behind it because the sheet metal/rafters were obviously nailed/screwed on by a crew who were up on the roof. Plus in a snow region, the roof specs must be higher than normal to support an anticipated snow load and the particular roof had a rather low pitch, which would increase the likely snow load. All factors that make her excuse nonsensical.

Like most criminals the Deep State is not very creative.

They use the same method of operation over and over and over again...

With that in mind we can use the JFK assassination plot as a template.

For logistics the CIA was used—with on site supervision the responsibility of E. Howard Hunt—a veteran of foreign field operations.

He was responsible for any logistical support needed—vehicles, weapons, clothes, locations, maps etc etc etc.

This is the resume to look for—probably involved in secret overseas military and/or intelligence operations—including assassination—before joining the Secret Service. They probably were very experienced in communications, including possibly hacking or disrupting enemy communications.

Burns (CIA): “Jesus Christ, we did everything right and that little prick missed a 130-yard shot, with 8 damn shots, for god’s sake!

Actually, with 30,000 people outside in the immediate area, firing into the ground would be a better choice.
