On Tuesday night, Fox News’ Jesse Watters reported on shocking new revelations about the handling of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. These revelations raise serious concerns about the transparency of the Secret Service and FBI.
According to Watters, “Every couple of weeks, the FBI and Secret Service give us, you know, drip, drip, drip. Little info on the Trump shooting, but it never amounts to anything. The real investigative work is being done by Congress.”
He cited a new report from Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) that has uncovered crucial details about the incident. Higgins' findings reveal that a local Butler, Pa., SWAT team operator was the first to engage Thomas Crooks, damaging his rifle and effectively ending his shooting spree before the Secret Service could fully neutralize the threat.
"I didn't know that," Watters remarked. This critical piece of information contrasts sharply with the testimony of acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr., who failed to mention the local officer's role and took credit on behalf of the agency for neutralizing the threat.
"New images released by the FBI show Crooks's rifle with apparently a damaged stock from the local officer's shot. But when the acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe testified, he made no mention of this local officer, gave his agency total credit for bringing down Crooks."
Here's what Rowe said in his testimony:
I am extremely proud of these actions and those taken by the countersniper team to neutralize the threat that prevented further loss of life, and I applaud the actions of our tactical teams that responded so quickly. The Secret Service counter sniper neutralized the assailant within seconds after the assailant fired his weapon.

After the SS counter snipers first spotted Crooks on the roof, is it true that they were ordered to “Stand Down”?
Those SS b*st*rds stood him up right after the shooting, presumably to offer the shooter another shot. There is no way that was normal procedure. The Secret Service tried to assassinate Trump. There. I said it. I can see no other explanation, and they are not even attempting to provide a plausible alternative.
We knew it was Butler PD that disabled Crook’s rifle 2 weeks ago.
We who live there knew it from the beginning.
Someone needs to link the “wild conspiracy theories later proven to be true” over the last five years meme, and add a new column for this one with a question mark placeholder.
When Trump gets elected, all those associated with this “investigation” by the Secret Service and Homeland Security, whether field agents or people with oversight responsibility, should be fired. They are either incompetent or corrupt and thus, should not be allowed continuing employment.
I used to live up in Hermitage - been to that location many times in the past. SS were ABSOLUTELY complicit.
If I was the local LE agent that took out the shooter Ithink I would prefer to remain anonymous.
Also need to be Charged with Treason, Tried, Convicted, Sentenced to Death by hanging on live TV, on every channel. Fixed it !!!
let me see if i understand this...
the local SWAY guy destroyed Crooks’ gun, thereby nuetralizing the threat.
THEN the ss came in and shot him??
WHY wouldn’t they take him into custody for interrogation?
well, we all know why. i’m just throwing it out there...
Them, their wives/girlfriends, children, dogs, cats, fish, etc. and their houses.
Shawn Ryan is a former U.S. Navy SEAL, CIA Contractor, and Founder of Vigilance Elite.
Every assassin in my lifetime supposedly acted alone.
The only one who actually acted alone was John Hinckley Jr..
We know this because he’s still alive.
What is the “why?” Don’t be so coy.
You make an excellent point. I hadn’t considered that before your comment.
Maybe Sirhan Sirhan acted alone. He’s also still alive.
