Reports: Secret Service Skipped Security Briefing, Wasn’t Even Planning To Send Snipers To Trump Rally
The Federalist ^ | 7/22/24 | SHAWN FLEETWOOD

Posted on 07/22/2024 6:31:06 AM PDT by LisaFab

Secret Service failed to undertake critical security measures and deprived Donald Trump of ample protection ahead of the attempted assassination against the former president, new information disclosed by congressional members shows.

According to preliminary findings published Sunday by the office of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the Secret Service declined to participate in a security briefing provided to local sniper and SWAT teams the morning of Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Led by the local emergency services division, the briefing reportedly “provided local law enforcement with images of the security perimeter at the rally — which did not include the American Glass Research (AGR) building where the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was located — the location of law enforcement agents, and a breakdown of security sectors on the farm show grounds.”

I believe Senator Johnson is worried about a cover-up from this statement: (page 4-5 on my browser)

Senator Ron Johnson’s preliminary findings:

https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/services/files/4E6577F1-8AD2-4CB9-9FC7-5896C27A9647


The findings and timeline released in this document are very preliminary, and barely scratch the surface of what a full investigation must reveal. We are releasing this document to provide the public with complete transparency and to ensure that all entities examining the assassination attempt are equipped with this information. We are also hoping it prompts others—both in law enforcement and the general public—to come forward. The information presented in this document raises many questions that Congress and law enforcement entities must answer. Senator Johnson’s office will continue to pursue the truth and in doing so, encourages anyone with relevant information on the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt or the alleged shooter to contact his office and email his whistleblower account:

(copy this entire line to contact Senator Johnson)
Whistleblower_PSIJohnson@hsgac.senate.gov.

In addition to connecting with his office, Senator Johnson also encourages individuals with relevant information to cooperate with federal, state, and local law enforcement. Anyone who attended the rally—including law enforcement—should carefully memorialize, document, back-up and save any and all potentially relevant information including, but not limited to, security records, video and audio from the rally, proof of attendance at the rally, and eye-witness testimony. It is crucial in the early days of this investigation that all potential evidence is preserved and secured.

Congress and law enforcement must investigate the attempted assassination of former President Trump thoroughly, truthfully, and transparently. The public deserves no less.

This story gets weirder and weirder. How could this guy have been the only shooter with such spparent limited expodure to shooting? What anout thesecond shooter? Was he amother set up Patsy while a second marksman shot Trump so he the Patsy would be the target? IS THAT WHY THAT WHITE ROOFED BUILDING WAS LEFT UNGUARDED? SO CROOKS WOULD STAND OUT WHILE A SKILLED DEEP STATE MARKSMAN WAS POSITIONED ELSEWHERE???? ?

There will be more attempts, including after the election if he gets that far.

Suggest people construct the scenarios based on these particular facts.

The July 13 rally was announced July 3. The campaign internally may have known about it only a few days before because, remember, the debate was June 27. So any preparations for a hit only had 2 weeks to prepare.

The guy lived in the area. Shipping in a more skilled guy would have been wise, but with only 2 weeks very difficult. This guy, living local, already knew the venue.

Hard for me to envision orchestration beyond a general understaffing of Secret Service personnel assigned. That could be purposeful and aimed at an attempt somewhere along the trail. But not this Pennsylvania event. There just wasn’t enough time.

Limited exposure?

His father owns 20 guns. Young Thomas was a confirmed member of a gun club, and one report said he practiced with a handgun as well.

The incompetence and short staffing talk is diversion. They had eyes on a shooter on a roof with line of sight on an Ex President for over half an hour.
1: they waited till he took the shots
2: they let Trump take the stage
MSM is going all out to keep the focus on incompetence and staffing to keep focus away from the real story here. I don’t see the GOP pushing back on it.

Correct and it is plural (probably 3 shooters including Crooks).

This is how the DeepStaters set up for an assassination when they can’t officially set up for an assassination.
