I agree. There was no excuse for them not keeping Trump away from the podium.
If the SS internal comms were deliberately sabotaged it would make it easy to prove this was not just mind-bogglingly-impossible incompetence, which is what they’re going to try to use as an excuse.
The point in all of this is how to prove that it was deliberate and not just incompetence. Communications sabotage would be one way to prove that, if that could be documented.
If it is true that the snipers requested and were denied permission that would be another way to prove that the assassination attempt was deliberately allowed.

Comm sabotage of some sort is actually easy to prove.
1. Question to any of the SS on stage: “Were you notified there was a potential shooter and that you needed to get the President off stage?”
2. Question to all of the SS off stage: “Did you use to Comm to notify any other agents there was a potential shooter on site?”
No on one.
Yes on any two.
Conspiracy proved.
That said—if I were doing the conspiracy I would jam the radios.
Under that scenario nobody in the Secret Service or local law enforcement would know what was happening during critical moments.
