Whistleblower reveals why Trump rally officer assigned to shooter’s perch moved
Fox News ^ | 7.24.24 | Audrey Conklin

BUTLER, Pa. – Whistleblowers have told Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley that a law enforcement officer who was assigned to monitor the roof of a building that would-be former President Trump assassin Thomas Crooks fired from on July 13 left their post because it was "too hot."

"…He or she was too hot and just thought it was unnecessary to be out there."

— Josh Hawley

The same whistleblower told Hawley that multiple law enforcement personnel were also assigned to patrol the perimeter of the building "to make sure that somebody couldn't just jump up" onto the roof, possibly from one of the air-conditioning units jutting out from the windows of the building, the senator said.

"All of these whistleblowers who've now come forward to my office, saying things like: law enforcement was assigned to be on the roof, and they weren't. They were assigned to be patrolling the perimeter of that building, and they weren't. They were supposed to be communicating over a common radio frequency, and they weren't," Hawley said. "I have to say, none of that surprises me because it is just astounding with those kind of failures and errors that this 20-year-old was able to get up on in plain view of everybody onto that low-slung roof and take multiple shots at the [former] president."

I hope the family of Corey Comperatore, the two seriously wounded victims and President Trump sues the bleep out of the Secret Service, Cheatle, local leo, Mayorkas, Comey, Biden and others.

Too hot? I sure hope none of the female agents broke their nails during the ruckus.

Does ANYONE think for one minute the U.S. could ever again storm the beaches of Normandy and win?

We are truly a FAILED nation and the DemonRats have PURPOSELY made this happen on behalf of the globalists. Commie-La Harris is the FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN.

IFF this is true ...

He or she was too hot and just thought it was unnecessary to be out there."

This person has a name. And a face. And a rank. And an organizational affiliation.

Or ... it could be a complete lie and fabrication.

It was about 85 degrees or so at the time with 50% relative humidity.

It wasn’t too hot.

Obviously the ladder leaning against the building did not warrant any investigation.

Yes.

What I DO NOT believe is this ridiculous fairy-tale of the unnamed individual abandoning "his or her" post because "it was too hot".

Didn’t seem to bother the other guys on the roof. They are telling us lies. They are lying.

LOL!

Don Knotts, in his current condition, would have done a better job of securing the site than the evil clowns who were tasked with it.

The Secret Service was neither incompetent nor negligent. They were complicitous.

Crooks must have been a psychic to know in advance that the agent would leave his or her post.

More proof of a government hit on Trump.

Has that officer who abandoned his post been found in the river yet? Maybe check all wood chippers in a 50 mile radius.

This much I can tell you. In almost every facet of life, I see an awful lot of incompetence these days. From cashiers who can’t count change, to people who can’t tell time on an analog clock, to spelling and grammar errors in most every publication, to law enforcement who have no duty to protect anyone but themselves. We’re either lazy or stupid, or both. Generally speaking, of course. Incompetence surrounds us.

We couldn’t storm Normandy or put a man on the moon again. JMHO.

It’s why we need Donald Trump in the White House again.

Too hot.
Too sloped.

What’s next? Too slippery from the big rainstorm that afternoon?

The worst of it is the MSM has successfully used incompetence and staffing to move focus off of the real story.
The staff that was there had eyes on a shooter for over half an hour.
1: they let him get the shots off
2: they let Trump take the stage
This is the story and it’s pretty much buried.
