The Secret Service held its first press conference since a recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, revealing it was the first time counter sniper teams were deployed for his campaign event. Previously, there were no counter snipers during Trump's court appearances in Manhattan, raising concerns about his safety. After the attempt on his life, the Secret Service claimed it was due to an Iranian threat, despite no new intelligence. Communication failures were highlighted, as counter snipers relied on text messages instead of radios, leading to delays in responding to threats. Local law enforcement reported a lack of communication with the Secret Service before and during the rally. The director acknowledged the need for improved coordination, but no accountability has been established for the security lapses. Concerns remain about the effectiveness of the Secret Service's response and the safety of Trump moving forward.

The acting director of the Secret Service denied cutting resources from Trump's detail, but a whistleblower claims otherwise. Secret Service agents who do threat assessments at events were allegedly cut by the director, Ronald Roe, before Trump's Butler rally. These agents had warned about security issues leading up to the event. Despite this, the Secret Service did not call local law enforcement who were providing backup that day. The lack of communication raises concerns of a cover-up in the investigation into an attempted assassination.

An individual from the Pittsburgh office, who may have failed training exams and was not a top agent, was inexplicably placed in charge of the president's entire trip from arrival to departure. Sources close to the Secret Service's internal investigation claim the Department of Homeland Security is pressuring the Secret Service to withhold documents requested by Congress. The speaker insists the American people deserve the truth.

At 12:53, the speaker called the Washington DC Police Department for assistance. They requested additional resources on Constitution Avenue to prevent an attack. At 12:58, the speaker called the sergeant in arms for help and a declaration of emergency. They were told to wait for authorization from higher-ups. Over the next 71 minutes, the speaker made 32 calls to various agencies, including the Secret Service. Despite not having official approval, they requested assistance to protect their team. Finally, at 2:09, 71 minutes later, the speaker received approval and immediately informed their colleague. They were frustrated by the delay and marked the time as 2:10.

An individual claims that local law enforcement did not leave their posts to search for a potential shooter, contradicting what someone else said to Congress. They state that the officers remained at their assigned locations but couldn't see the shooter from their vantage point. The speaker clarifies that local law enforcement volunteered their time and performed the duties assigned to them by the Secret Service. They were assigned to specific locations, including a building in the area where the shooting occurred. The two officers in question were stationed on the second floor of a building, looking out a window, and did not leave their post. The speaker doesn't know why the officers weren't positioned on the roof, but asserts they were where they were instructed to be. They clarify that local law enforcement wasn't in charge of the building, but were there to observe a specific area. The Secret Service was in charge of the entire location.

Every precaution was taken, yet a catastrophic failure occurred during a presidential event. Questions arose regarding the Secret Service's response, specifically the lack of sufficient personnel and communication breakdowns. Whistleblowers reported that the Secret Service denied requests for additional resources, and that crucial information about the shooter was not relayed to the protective detail. The shooter was observed for an extended period before firing. Concerns were raised about the size and location of the security perimeter, which excluded a building within rifle range of the stage. The Secret Service's response is being heavily scrutinized, with questions raised about decisions made regarding resource allocation, communication protocols, and response times. An investigation is underway.

The Secret Service is facing criticism for a security lapse during a recent event. Sources claim a counter sniper post was missing, leading to blame shifting and cover-ups. The White House and DHS are reportedly pressuring the Secret Service director to stay silent on the issue. This has led to public defense of the director by DHS Secretary Mayorkas.

A congressional task force surveyed the site where Trump was almost assassinated, while another group held a forum in DC investigating the shooting. A neighbor of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, said his family is an enigma and she doesn't think he acted alone. Crooks' father hired top criminal lawyers, raising questions about how he could afford them and why they were needed if he was unaware of his son's actions. Crooks was cremated days after the shooting. Congressman Corey Mills says the Secret Service and FBI are stalling the investigation, delivering heavily redacted documents. A whistleblower told Senator Josh Hawley that Secret Service headquarters told agents not to request extra manpower for the rally. Five Secret Service agents were placed on leave after the shooting. Local police set aside radios for the Secret Service, but they were never picked up. Congressman Mike Walt finds it hard to believe Crooks acted alone, questioning how he learned to build IEDs and install remote detonators. The FBI cracked two of Crooks' three encrypted apps but won't reveal the contents. Some social media messages may have been written by an older family member. Congressman Mills said that the Secret Service refused offers of communication platforms and a surveillance drone. He believes the Secret Service is setting things up for failure by not utilizing available assets and resources. He says it's either criminal gross negligence or purposeful intent, and that the Secret Service has a culture issue.

I'm on the building where the sniper supposedly shot from. It's not steep. Secret Service should've been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. There were questions in Butler about why they didn't act. We'll investigate to ensure it doesn't happen again.

We were supposed to have a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers, but that never occurred. This lack of communication made me realize something was wrong. There was no contact with the Secret Service at all that Saturday, only after the shooting, which was too late.

The shooter was on a vulnerable roof identified the day before. Two counter sniper teams were present, with one not needing approval to shoot. NBC News reported that previous protocols were not followed. Translation: The shooter was on a vulnerable roof that was identified the day before. Two counter sniper teams were present, with one not needing approval to shoot. NBC News reported that previous protocols were not followed.

According to the speaker, an individual from Homeland Security informed his office before the second assassination attempt that there were 5 known assassination teams in the United States: 3 inspired by foreign governments and 2 domestic. This individual was concerned that President Trump's force protection was insufficient. The speaker clarified that all 5 teams were targeting Trump. This raised questions about why security teams were being pulled from Trump's detail to be assigned to Joe Biden, John Bolton, and others, despite the threat level to Trump being substantially higher. The speaker also claimed that requests from the Trump detail and campaign for more security were being ignored.

Steve D'Antwono, the FBI director, received multiple emails warning about the violence expected at the Capitol before January 6th, but nothing was mentioned during a video call with him. The military had discussed locking down Washington DC and revoking permits on Capitol Hill due to concerns about violence. However, on January 4th, the acting secretary of defense issued a memo restricting the National Guard from carrying weapons or equipment for crowd control. This decision hindered the National Guard's response when assistance was desperately needed on January 6th. Governor Hogan even pleaded for help but was denied due to the memo. The situation doesn't make sense.

The shooter was identified as a potential suspect, but by the time they were located, they were on the rooftop and able to fire at the former president. The Secret Service director was allegedly instructed by the administration and the DHS secretary to keep quiet or risk losing her job. One speaker has heard from the Secret Service director, but not publicly. Another speaker states they would fire the Secret Service director for not being visible and transparent with the American people, regardless of the story. They believe the handling of the situation by briefing only Milwaukee was poorly executed.

Whistleblowers claim the security plan for the former president called for law enforcement on the roof and around the building, but there was no one except the shooter on the roof and no one around the perimeter. The excuse given was that it was too hot that day. Whistleblowers also say the lead site agent was not trusted or highly regarded by other Secret Service agents and didn't know what she was doing. The speaker questions why these individuals were running security for a former president and current major party nominee, calling it inexplicable and stating that the lack of answers is making the situation worse.

The slope of the roof caused a delay in the sniper teams' line of sight during a recent incident. Despite challenges, a Secret Service counter sniper team successfully took out the shooter with a difficult shot through a 9-inch window from 400 yards away, even with a tree obstructing their view. The details of this impressive shot have not been widely shared.

The speaker questions why snipers initially assigned to a second-story window with a clear view of the roof where the shooter stood and tried to kill President Trump were withdrawn before the shooting. The speaker emphasizes that these are basic questions the Secret Service should easily answer, especially given the seventeen days since the attack. The speaker expresses frustration that the response from the Secret Service has repeatedly been "we're looking into it," which they deem insufficient.

I asked colleagues to create a committee with subpoena power to investigate the lack of Secret Service protection for the president. The Secret Service director agreed to brief us, but it hasn't happened yet. I question why the president wasn't given more protection and who is responsible for that decision.

The Secret Service is refusing to cooperate, stonewalling efforts to uncover the facts. They have not testified or provided documents, which raises serious concerns. The director, Ron Rowe, should be removed for his inadequate response that endangered the president's life. This lack of transparency follows two assassination attempts and parallels the FBI's current stonewalling regarding drone incidents in New Jersey and elsewhere. It's time for accountability and a thorough overhaul of these agencies.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the gunman in the Trump rally shooting flew a drone over the site hours before the event, potentially multiple times, to research and scope it out. Senator Marsha Blackburn expressed frustration over the lack of transparency from the Secret Service director, who has not held a press conference. Blackburn stated that the Secret Service identified the shooter as a potential threat at 5:51 AM and alerted sharpshooters at 5:53 AM, yet cleared Trump to go on stage at 6:00 AM. Blackburn questioned why drones were not used for surveillance and why DHS security officials were with Trump instead of traditional Secret Service agents. Multiple investigations are underway, and the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing. Blackburn emphasized the need to put the Secret Service director under oath to determine what went wrong with the advance planning and coordination between agencies.

Every precaution was taken, yet President Kennedy's assassination nearly repeated itself on July 13th. Cascading failures allowed the shooter to outmaneuver security. Questions arose regarding the Secret Service's response to the threat, particularly the disparity in resource allocation between First Lady Jill Biden's and former President Trump's events. Whistleblowers revealed unchecked IDs, obstructed lines of sight, and insufficient personnel at Trump's rally. Concerns emerged about communication breakdowns, delayed responses, and the possibility of a stand-down order. The lack of recorded communications and the absence of a vulnerability assessment further compounded the issues. Investigations are underway, but questions remain about the failures leading to the attempted assassination.

We were supposed to have a briefing with Secret Service snipers, but it never happened. This made me realize something was wrong. We had no communication with them until after the shooting, which was too late. Translation: We were supposed to have a meeting with Secret Service snipers, but it never occurred. This made me realize something was amiss. We didn't communicate with them until after the shooting, which was too late.

Three unsuppressed shots were heard. A counter sniper with a tripod was on his optic. He popped his head up, then back down, and the rifle tilted down, then up, and he backed up. Another person who was prone hunkered their head down. The counter snipers thought they were being engaged because they could hear the sonic crack of rounds passing by them. They thought they were being shot at, not Trump.

I showed Tucker evidence that a police post was supposed to be at a certain location, but it wasn't there. The media is spreading a false story about the roof's pitch causing the absence. The Secret Service director was warned to stay quiet by the administration and DHS secretary. Negligence in checking police logs could have led to a dangerous situation.

We were supposed to have a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers, but it never happened. There was no communication with the Secret Service until after the shooting, which was too late.
