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.”

One thing many are missing is that the SS on-site leadership knew there was a potential shooter on the roof 10 minutes before Trump went onstage and did not warn Trump nor did they prevent him from taking the stage. The counter snipers even took pics of Crooks. This is much more than incompetence and is criminal negligence. In other words, they let the guy take 7-8 shots before deleting the threat.
Your post is 100% spot on:
“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.”
This is much more than incompetence. The on-site SS leadership could not pass up a “golden” opportunity to let the guy murder President Trump.

Agree but he’ll have the option of more guards with more power and the deep state is being hunted this time.

‘Cuz the obverse side of the Uniparty coin doesn’t like the non-establishment Trump either.
But you know the talk around here, “Lesser of 2 evils...Holding my nose...” *rolls eyes*
I see no evidence that anyone shot before him. The forensics I saw, from unaltered audio recording of the scene (NOT anything from Alphabet agencies) showed 3 first shots with fairly light report and close spacing of shot and sound wave delay were typical for .223. The next 6 rounds were totally different in distance delay and sound, there was echo not in the first 3 shots.
The 6 rounds were almost all identical in appearance, but distance timing had 2 irregularities. So it is likely that it was either 2 weapons, with different loads or barrel length. Both of them had echo’s.
The NYT article is a cover up attempt. They said all 9 rounds were similar. They were NOT.
I think the 6 rounds were from a larger caliber. And conclusion was that it was from a 2nd story window in one of the buildings.
Now, the real test, sharing info from wounds and the amount of damage. If .308 or .338 the damage would be very bad.
The rate of fire of the 6 rounds was much faster, indicating less time targeting. The 6 rounds might have been a chaos creation, to cover the 2 other shooter exit.
The FBI, DOJ, DHS and SS will all attempt to sell the single shooter story line. It is clearly false.
There is a woman who was near President with her children at the time of the attack. She swears there were at least 2 different shooters. From different shooting points.
Sounds like there was 3 shooters and one very likely on the water tower. The other shooter was inside one of the buildings shooting through a window.
My thought too.
My thought too.
The story I have heard is one shot from water tower. And it was thought to have been Crooks kill shot. Longer range heavier bullet.
Of course there is a time line and it gets confusing after the first 3 shots.
What is important, this was not a long wolf assassination.
Now who will put the tail on the donkies who were there. There will be no records from DHS, FBI, or DOJ. CIA? not mentioned.
I’m certain he did.

That lady needs to upload her video to the site Sen Johnson set up.
According to one guy doing the audio analysis said the high velocity gun came towards Trump.
Original site for rally was the same place as the other rally, at airport. That site had some sort of car show planned for airport and the second site was chosen. I believe they had 5 days to set up the new site.
That further reduces the conspiracy scenario. Just no time to put it together.
We do not know exactly what any of the weapons that were analyzed were. There are some indications of Crooks weapon being an AR type, most common would be .223 and 55gr FMJ bullet.
There is speculation about the SS sniper rifles (.308, .338, and mention of 300 Win Mag). High velocity means speed, not speed related to weight.
The FBI has the evidence and has turned congressmen away from the site. Told them to leave.
The FBI will determine it was a single shooter event. I am confident of that, but I don’t believe that is true for a moment.
I’m sure she has. She posted it on X (aka Twitter) and it is being repeated.
