I don’t think they needed 25-30 in the know on site. I think the pivot point is the communications guy between the locals and the SS. All he has to do is NOT relay info, or to give phony orders. Tell the locals he will alert SS, then not do it. Tell the locals keep an eye on him but don’t do anything.
I hope the locals had their cameras on. Maybe we can learn what they were told. Congress should start any investigation with them, not Cheatle. We know she’ll lie.
Congress better hire their own independent forensics investigators and keep it out of the FBI, CIA, DS, etc. Even now those bastards are shutting down access to communication logs…probably wiping all evidence.
A thought just occurred to me. Maybe they sent in an expendable amateur shooter knowing the chances of killing Trump were not high. But the whole thing was intended to send a powerful message “Do not mess with us. Look what we can do.” If, by chance, the shooter succeeded, then that is good for the plotters.
