"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...

“Wait, so the shooting occurred with extra protection?”

Oh my! I wonder what the protection looked like before Saturday? It could not be worse than we saw on Saturday or could it?

If they had linked this to Russia my drink would have come spewing out of my mouth but whatever the level of security when Trump was shot shows they are trying to distract us with this stuff.

Let’s not miss the elephant in the room here. This “Iranian plot” is being put out here now with impeccable timing by the Biden Admin propaganda machine. They want to stop Trump from doing any future rallies because they are so effective; they show up Biden and his minions as the losers they are (they can hardly get 10 people to go to any of their events). Therefore they want to shut the rallies down, and/or inadequately (by intention) protect the rallies from attacks, including any future ones.

The Biden machine and the Deep State want Trump put out of business, one way or the other. Trump must use his own security, along with the Secret Service and/or any security provided by the gov’t, because our current leadership controls these agencies, and the corrupt Biden Admin is the enemy of all of us.

Trump must be behind protective glass when on stage, drones must fly overhead for surveillance, and all gov’t provided security must be viewed with utmost suspicion; however the rallies must go on. They are incredibly effective and therefore that is why the Biden Admin wants to shut them down. Don’t fall for this “Iranian” ruse folks. To our Commie Admin this “Iran leak” is merely a means to an end, ... to stop Trump from effectively campaigning from this point on.

I thought I heard a report that regular rally goers thought it was less security than usual. I may be mistaken.

“I thought I heard a report that regular rally goers thought it was less security than usual. I may be mistaken.”

The report I saw was a guy who had gone to another Trump rally in 2020 and he saw SS sniper teams on every high point surronding the rally. That was before the current DEI Secret Service Director was hired.

“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 First Lady, Dr Jill Biden for a engagement on Saturday, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.”

Correction made.

Oh now they try to blame the Iranians?

COUGH COUGH COUGH bullshit COUGH COUGH COUGH

Thomas Crooks is NOT an Iranian name! Thomas Crooks was not even trying to convert to Islam.

In fact my first thought and look it up..I wondered if he was a Tranny! He still might be one and they are hiding that!

“Iran has wanted revenge on Trump ever since Soleimani, so why would they bother now makes zero sense”

Because the Iranians fear Trump.

He eliminates their top generals and stops the pallets of cash in the night gravy train they have enjoyed over the last four years.
