TED CRUZ: I REFUSE TO CONTEMPLATE PURPOSEFUL COOPERATION

“Refuse to contemplate”

And then Cruz mentions a former Prez vs Prez Nominee type protection, when SS members say the Protection is based on the threat, not the position held. This is why the Pepe gets so much protection.

They’re telling us - it won’t even be considered in the 6 or 7 year “Investigation.”

They have known the Iranians were looking to assassinate him for over a month.

Not word one about the rifle. Did he hide the rifle on the roof the day before? These seem to be only local LE radio messages. I want to hear the Secret Service frequency.

Is he saying he won’t consider that the SS could have cooperated with the assassin? The language is unclear.

This reminded me of the scene in the movie Serpico in which Al Pacino plays an honest cop, much to the anger of his colleagues. While on a drug raid, the dishonest cops on his detail turn their heads when the drug dealer attacls him. I’ll be generous, and assume this was just total incompetence on the part of poorly trained people who should never have been hired in the first place. Trump needs private security guards to be provided by a professional like Erik Prince.

Another IMPT note—

We STILL don’t have a clue who was in charge of watching that building the shooter was sitting atop!

I’m told Senators tried to ask questions but weren’t called on.

a political decision not to provide adequate resources “

You could say that if they had not spotted him but they did spot him. They let 20 minutes pass after they saw a man with a rifle on roof with clear line of sight and they let him shoot. That is not a case of inadequate resources it is something much worse.

It’s not incompetence. It was planned.

Yep, definitely looking like that now. The shooter was spotted well before he ever got up on the roof - there is video of him casing the joint. There is no excuse for Crooks not being detained/arrested before Trump ever hit the stage.

While standing in line to enter an event at the RNC today, I was assaulted by what appeared to be a member of the pro-Hamas group CODEPINK. A nearby police officer witnessed this assault and I understand they have been arrested.

This appears to be an incident of political violence and I will never tolerate this. Regardless of the severity of the violence, political violence is political violence.

Republicans have been intimidated and targeted for years including the attempted assassination of President Trump and we will no longer standby and allow lawlessness.

There is no place for political violence in this country and I have repeatedly called for people who choose this path to be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law.

Nothing will change until these people are held accountable.

Start with everyone on the ground what, where, when, and who. Who ordered you not to cover that building and why no shot.

After putting their sights on him, having just apparently killed President Trump, why 15 additional seconds to put a bullet in his head?

Because the opportunity to get Trump was gone, his body now under a pile of agents. Snipers gave Crooks plenty of opportunity before then. Setup, pre-planned, Biden's (puppeteer's) fault.

Yes Ted Cruz alluded to this. A SS stand down is equivalent to murder

Maybe it’s time some pressure was put on the local district attorney. I’m sure criminal negligence is a local crime.

The USSS will claim "Sovereign Immunity."

The term does have a certain ring to it, doesn't it?

Someone around here posted a close-up blowup pic of Trump and his detail, and they focused on the lapel pins of those personal detail ‘agents’.

They stated it resembled the US Marshal pin, not SS..

I don’t have a familiarity with either pin, but if Trump’s closest personal detail are wearing US Marshal pins, that’s a tell that SS may be extremely compromised..

And let Trump take the stage anyway.

I’m 9/10ths the way to firing squad on this.

“5:30 p.m. Crooks was spotted with a rangefinder
5:52 p.m. Crooks was spotted on the roof by Secret Service
6:02 p.m. Trump takes the stage
6:12 p.m. Crooks fires first shots


What time did the sniper see him on the ground with a backpack and called for backup?
