I wonder if that includes the fat chick who froze and was last seen on Vance’s detail.

Immediately I wonder if these are the last good ones, who they’ve spent the last four weeks meticulously framing.

Acting Arsewipe trying to deflect and make it look like he’s not just as inept.

“The Secret Service’s internal affairs division is continuing to investigate how a 20-year-old gunman was able to fire eight rounds from a rooftop near where Trump was speaking in Butler, “

They knew their attempt on Trumps life would necessarily trash their rep as “the premier security agency in the world” but they considered elimination of Trump enough upside. Then Trump spoiled their patsy’s shot by turning his head. Shows you how desperate the DeepState is. Now Secret Service’ reputation is utterly gone and Trump is still in it.

The Secret Service should provide grants for presidential candidates to pay for private security so they can hire former Blackwater guards.

Erik Prince is the best in business, he should be hired to do the job. But he will probably reject the offer. Too much politics involved. Plus he can get paid more to protect Sheikhs in the Middle East and the job is easier.

..including one shot that grazed the Republican presidential nominee's ear.

"Grazed? " It blew a hole right through his ear.

F'in CBS commies.

I am a rifle shooter and pretty adept at long range. I kill nothing but paper targets today. I lost the joy of killing deer and game but have no problem with ethical hunters.

We were very lucky that the shooter was not adept. That was a dead easy shot. I could have done it with accuracy and sure kill shot with open sights and not even a scope. What amazed me is when surveilling the area via google earth the shooter was in the ideal position for killing Trump and that position had no agents on it nor monitored via drones or eyes on from the next door building. No surveillance was on the water tower that could see all. What the hell.

On Google Earth I identified numerous other shooting positions that would be superior but at 500 yards or slightly greater. The reason it is superior is the more distance and area the Secret Service must defend the lesser is the chance of detection. I can do 500 yards with my superior weapons and scope. This shooter was able to move into a sure kill distance. A excellent sniper with very superior weapons that cost many thousands of dollars could have easily made a 1000 yard shot with the right weapon.
