Burke is the Special Agent in Charge (SAIC) of the Secret Service Pittsburgh field office, and has been in the role since at least 2016.

Shit rolls downhill. Will one of these people spill the beans about the jerks at the top, and the orders they actually received? Let’s hope so.

Yes, he probably will be the fall guy but I’ll bet that it is “paid-admin-leave,” and he still has a job. Just window dressing for the masses. No one will suffer the consequences.

All these people and the FBI were waiting for Trumps head to explode on live TV. Thank GOD that didn't happen.

No doubt that Mayorkas is part of the plot.

Correct.

Burke is the guy who could explain the entire plan from start to finish. He will be given a golden handshake and sinecure consulting contracts not to. Or a sudden heart attack, if they can’t be sure.

They have identified their fall guy.

They might have the right guy too. It is a good place to start looking.

If there was a conspiracy to enable the assassination attempt by having the Secret Service look the other way, the chief agent in charge would have necessarily been part of the plan.

I expect that he was part of the conspiracy. If he gets pushed hard enough, he may flip and identify the people who gave him the directions. But I could be wrong in that whole assessment. Maybe it would be best to hold back on the waterboard interrogations for now.

"Because we are better than that", or some such nonsense.

"Innocent until proven guilty"? Not during an investigation. Save that restraint for the trials.

The Government is not a monolithic organization. It is composed of factions in temporary alliance. Often the factions are in bitter conflict with each other and constantly working to gain some advantage. That percolates down into the bureaucracy of the FBI and the Secret Service.

One might expect that factions within the FBI already have plenty of incriminating evidence against persons in the Secret Service, and persons within the Biden administration. While they may be tasked with a cover-up by their sponsors, they are not going to discard information that will give them a huge bargaining edge for their factions.

I am guessing that the FBI already has a good outline of how the conspiracy was organized and who are the people who organized it. Not quite enough for indictments or trials yet. But good enough to make some pointed demands behind closed doors.

Ironically, the best deal the FBI could probably get with such information would be if President Trump is re-elected.

Because of the failure of the surgical strike a few peripheral personnel will have to be sacrificed, or at given have the appearance of having been “disciplined.”

When will a fall guy or someone else turn against the others and tell the truth about Hillary, Obama, Iran, Jan.6, Butler and all the rest?

Even Hannity isn’t saying his ridiculous “The rank and file of the FBI are good honest patriots” or at least I haven’t heard him say this since July 13th.

From the article:

“A man was arrested in Arizona after threatening to kill Trump at a rally in Cochise County near the southern border with Mexico. Ronald Syvrud, 66, was apprehended shortly before Trump was due to speak.”

-> the van with Arizona plates police investigated at the crime scene in Butler

This departmentalized government is RIDDLED with them. They’re in ALL of the agencies at the top levels. Save for Trump’s term, the deep state has had a total of 32 years of NWO Globalist Presidents who’ve facilitated the infestations.
