What the heck?

So the local SWAT team was in a different building, right next to the actual shooting building?

That means nothing.

And the claim about boosting the SS team numbers was BS too. If there were more SS then one of them would have been on top one of these buildings.

We are unlikely to get the truth on this. Too many people in self-protection mode.

The “too steep “ comment makes me believe that the Cheeto Security Lady must not have a man in her life ir a man on her staff. Any guy would have advised her to yank the “too steep” as it is utter BS and confirms that she is full of it.

Amazingly, it's looking like somebody is getting caught in a massive lie.

It's beginning to look like the reason it was so hard to believe the story about three police counter sniper teams inside the building the shooter used is because it's not true.

The story coming out is that the security plan for the event called for a number of local police counter sniper teams to be on that roof and possibly a few other obvious locations like the water tower.

Those local police teams never showed up for some reason as yet unknown.

So the Secret Service people just lied and said that the security teams called for in the site plan were inside the building which makes total sense.

What did not not make sense was that there were police inside the building. There were no police openly posted and for these events visible over watch snipers are considered an important deterrent factor.

There were no open windows for police teams hidden inside the building to shoot through.

And what police SWAT team would sit by and allow a potential assassin to scale a wall with a back pack. The whole story made no sense.

The story that the police team never showed makes sense.

At this point the only thing we can be certain of something went very wrong and we are being gas lighted and lied to to such a degree that we can believe nothing we hear from the Biden Administration.

It's obvious that something went very wrong.

Now, the big question is what went wrong

From the Biden Admin perspective, was the failure that the SS was not able to protect President Trump.

Or was the failure that President Trump miraculously survived the attempt on his life.

Yeah, this is part of the deep state tactic of “muddying the waters” with so many stories that it becomes impossible to discover the whole truth. The Feds are feeding us lie upon lie with the hope the people will give up the search for the truth, and it will be difficult to hold anyone responsible.

a plot by Iran to kill him Yeah….. right…

Well the Kooky Keystone Kops showed the world that the DC Swamp is in charge.

Fwiw, if say Iran or anyone else had carried out a attack such as when Egypt’s Anwar Sadat was killed…… it would have been a blood bath.

This article seems to give a few more details: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-rally-local-police-gunman-113402176.html

Maybe the rest of you can make sense of it.

It says local police were in an "adjacent building."

It also says:

The gunman used the roof of the one-story building closest to the stage from which to fire his AR-15-type weapon. But agencies are offering different accounts about which building local law enforcement used as a staging area and a perch for the three local officers called counter snipers. These officers were watching over the crowd as it gathered in the secure zone, a local law enforcement official, who was not authorized to give public statements, said in an interview with the Times. It was the two-floor building, the one behind the warehouse used by the gunman, where those snipers were stationed by the windows, the official said.

“Hard to know what to believe.”

And that’s why they keep changing the story.

we are in a different time and space. I am not sure their old tactics are going to work as well as in the past.

Look at how the roof slope went over -relentlessly mocked.

Dan B getting the inside scoop versus their public excuse combined with Twitter power of relentless mocking spearheaded by Musk.

We will probably never learn the truth but Cheeto has to go or be reassigned. I dont see how she escapes this disaster.

“BREAKING: Dan Bongino says there was supposed to be a tactical team on the roof where Thomas Crooks shot from but they chose to post up in a 2nd-floor window instead.”

Air conditioning. It might be that simple.
I hope not...

Reports are that DHS Secretary Mayorkas is blocking Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle from testifying at a previously agreed-up phone briefing to Congress.

You mean it was so hot and they preferred air conditioning instead of being on a hot metal scalding roof? So then Cheeto concocts the ridiculous slope excuse.

Okay, so let’s say it was too hot despite another sniper team on a hot roof.

Why not then use a drone?

Ms. Cheatle is a “managerial class” act.

Probably since it has been pointed out that nobody in a building like that could miss the sounds of someone on the metal roof.

ALL THESE ELECTRONIC DEVICES & CAMERAS ON PHONES ARE GOING TO DISMANTLE THE LIES BY THE SS.

CHEATLE IS DIGGING HERSELF IN DEEPER.
