"US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN."
"The existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence agency — and the enhanced security for Trump — raises new questions about the security lapses at the Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania...

If that the case why was the Sec Service security team in place on Sat so absolutely F grade?
If they knew the treat, the level of criminal incompetence the Sec Service displayed suggest willing complicity
The more I learn about this the more I truly believe this was deliberately engineered incompetence in order to effect a “final solution” to the “Trump question.”
Color me suspicious.
CNN: Don’t blame our violent rhetoric. Blame them ‘Ranians!
CNN out front with their narrative and false ideas to fool the fools that watch them!~

I call bull manure on the regime’s Iranian narrative!
Did they TELL TRUMP???? If not, WHY NOT?
And the Iranian narrative will lead to Putin I suppose…..
Those who’ve lied to the American people for 12 years expect us to believe this?
They think we’re MORONS.
“Sounds like they are trying to claim there was enough security when there obviously wasn’t. “
There was enough. They had three snipers and other agents.
INSIDE the shooters building.
They observed him scoping out the position but were waiting for backup!!
That’s my President! A true national hero, taking bullets for the Secret Service.
One sniper inside spotted the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, according to the officer who spoke to CBS News. The sniper observed Crooks as he returned to the building, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the local snipers took a picture of Crooks.
Next, the local sniper observed Crooks looking through a rangefinder, an instrument routinely used by marksmen to determine the distance of a target, and he immediately radioed to the command post, according to the local law enforcement officer. The local sniper also attempted to send the photo of the gunman up the chain of command.
The command post, according to multiple law enforcement officials, served as a central hub to streamline communications between U.S. Secret Service and the local officers from nearby state and county police forces. It is unclear if the command post received the alert.
Officials then lost track of Crooks, who disappeared, but soon returned for a third time with a backpack. The local sniper team called for backup — alerting the command post that the gunman had a backpack and was walking toward the back of the building.
By the time other local officers responded to the backup request, the gunman had scaled the building, positioning himself above and behind the local snipers inside the building, according to the officer.
Ok, now the Iranians did it. I guess they figured the Russian’s did does not work anymore.
