Secret Service Skipped Security
Briefing, Wasn’t Even Planning To Send
Snipers To Trump Rally

Original Article

Secret Service failed to undertake critical security measures and deprived Donald Trump of ample protection ahead of the attempted assassination against the former president, new information disclosed by congressional members shows. (snip), the Secret Service declined to participate in a security briefing provided to local sniper and SWAT teams the morning of Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Led by the local emergency services division, the briefing reportedly “provided local law enforcement with images of the security perimeter at the rally — which did not include the American Glass Research (AGR) building where the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was located —

Reports keep saying that SS shooters took out Crooks, but their shirt backs were emlazoned POLICE.

I hope we can see a side-by-side comparison of Jill Biden's small dinner with "Italians" and President Trump's campaign event. It would be worth asking Kimberly Cheatle how much "threat" the First Lady of the USA is under from terrorists and bad actors, compared to the man who ordered the drone strike to kill Iranian terrorist Gen. Qassim Suleimani. Our Intel sources have heard Iran has ordered the assassination of PDJT, but not for Dr. Jill... so, I wonder why she got all the SS agents available?

"Post Standing" is a task for junior agents,,,someone else clears an area and the post "stander" is left to keep eyes on it, often a door, stairwell, corner or entrance/exit...or just the cars in the parking lot. Actual body protection, proximity to the Principle is with dedicated team of Personal Protection Professionals. (from a whistle blower) Jill had 30 agents and 4 sniper teams, for small 200 person gathering inside of an secured building,a casino. Augmented above and beyond post standers by State police, local police, sheriffs, marshals, as well as the large Casino security teams. Kamlalala was in Philly, for a "Town Hall" event with about 1200, also in a secure location, and apparently HER team was even larger. Even the Obama's and Clinton's(and one would suppose the Bushes)have LARGER SS Teams dedicated to them EVERY DAY, than Trump has received for appearances and rallys...even though none of them are running for anything, and most of their day is 100% personal/recreational. Part of the reason is...Large teams/motorcades makes a Big Splash, makes "News" gets coverage, ALL of Team Bidens events are for MEDIA COVERAGE, they meet with few actually people, give short canned stump speeches, tailor made for the News reports, and timed for the evening News Programs..in THIS instance, timed to overlap, displace from coverage Trumps appearance. Particularly ironic is Kamalas comment to the news people after her event..just before being told that Trump had been attacked ."Ms. Harris referenced ongoing concerns about Mr. Biden’s health, and doubled down on her support for his candidacy. “The past few days have been a reminder that running for president of the United States is never easy, nor should it be,” she said. “But one thing we know about our President Joe Biden, he is a fighter. And he is the first to say, when you get knocked down, you get right back up.”

I watched the hearing yesterday and Cheatle had the arrogance, dead eyes, detached manner and flat affect of a psychopath. Her preposterous answers included (I paraphrase); “I don’t know how my unsent email became public”, “I’ll have to research how many shell casings the FBI found on the roof and get back to you”, “There are several entities ultimately responsible for safety at such an event. The buck stops with all of them, not with anyone in particular”, “Nine days out I have drawn no conclusions on how the assassination attempt could have happened and no one has been reprimanded or punished” and “All SS bodyguards are highly trained and there is no relation between their size and how well they can protect their subject.” Cheatle was hand-picked by Jill Biden, D.Ed. At first it crossed my mind, yet seemed strained, that Jill Biden (who, by the way, holds a D. Ed.) could have tried to have Trump killed. After watching Cheatle I am more than a little suspicious.

I've been saying all along that those Snipers on top of the "barns" were Police SWAT, not USSS. The USSS was "leaning" on local police for the bulk of the protection, only granting Pres. Trump a few of his normal SS detail, plus a few "DEI interns" from the DHS cops. Essentially, the USSS offered up their "protectee" on a silver platter for Crooks, the Antifa trained sniper, to take out, thereby saving the world from an American nationalist and the super enemy of the WEF, China, and Russia. The big questions remain, who was Crook's "handler," and who was leaking information about the rally field arrangements? ------------------ It isn't enough to plan an "opportunity," unless that "opportunity" is communicated to an assailant. It isn't enough to plan a counter-sniper "blind-spot," unless that blind-spot location is also shared with an assailant. It isn't enough to keep local Police away from an building, unless the assailant knows which building. >> Other niggling details: - Communication Protocols changed, away from USSS managing all communications and off-loading them to a small town police force and local sheriff. - USSS not even attending the local Police Safety Pre-Briefing held that morning to ensure coordination. - Changing out the President's normal USSS detail with DHS diversity-hires untrained in USSS protective security procedures. - FLOTUS suddenly discovers her Italian roots and decides to book a small Italian-American Dinner, held only 40 miles away from the Trump rally. - The USSS suddenly shifts protection priority to FLOTUS to the severe detriment of the opposition party nominee at his large, open, campaign rally. - Adding to the above, our Intel Agencies pick up Iranian assassination threats against the former POTUS, yet the Italian-American FLOTUS was given higher priority by the USSS. - The protective detail near the building climbed by the sniper, were told to remain inside, only peering through the windows at the crowd. -------------------- Based on the above, it's easy to believe this to be an "inside" job. With a few more information "dots," we could probably connect those dots and determine the person(s) behind the event.

From #16…” It isn't enough to plan an "opportunity," unless that "opportunity" is communicated to an assailant.” I was asking on day one - how did Crooks know that that particular roof would be unguarded? It’s looking more and more like the SS told him.

I, too, noticed what OP noticed. The countersnipers wore "police" on their uniforms. Were they USSS? Whoever they were, that last delayed (it sounded suppressed) shot happened, apparently, when after about eight to ten seconds Crooks peeked over the shallowly sloped roof to see the damage he had wrought. He took a round of (probably) .308 Winchester, or 7.62 x 51 mm, under his left eye. The bullet came out under his right ear, evacuating the lower part of his cranial area. Crooks, too belatedly a corse, knew nothing further. It was a very good shot, within an inch of exactly where the shot was aimed. If the countersnipers, whoever they were, hadn't been there, who's to say Crooks couldn't have emptied the magazine (30 rounds) and reloaded twice, completely peppering the area where Trump was speaking? No rooftop security recommended for Trump? Sure sounds as if some powerful people wanted PDJT dead. We need to know who they are, and make a sad example of them.

Yesterday I saw a video of the entire area, including clear views of the rooftop from where the shooter shot. Had police or USSS had security in the second floor of an adjacent building, Crooks never could have gotten onto the roof, let alone take eight clear shots. If security had been where they belonged, Crooks never could have reached his sniping position. With a completely clear view of the back of the roof where Crooks was crawling around (half visible to people on the ground), they'd have shot him before he could take aim at Trump, 135 yards away. Where was security? In the building's first floor, probably playing pocket pool with both hands, while Crooks shot from the roof above. Unbelievable. In FJB's world the guilty never pay while the innocent are accused of 93 felonies by kangaroo courts. America is one more stolen election from not being a First World nation anymore.

When you live by the DEI hires, you DIE by them. Trump almost did. This wasn't just a clusterfark, this was a deliberate dumbing down of the Secret Service due to racist, sexist hiring. Now who is going to have faith in them unless they (a) fire Cheadle's arse, (b) dump all DEI hires, and (c) re-recruit for skill, strength, and merit?

I just read a footnote from Hosea 4:8 in the Old Testament. The footnote says this, "The priests were glad when the people sinned. Every time a person brought a sin offering, the priest received a portion of it. The more the people sinned, the more the priests received. Because they couldn't eat all of the offerings themselves, they sold some and gave some to their relatives. The priests profited from the continuation of sin, it gave them power and position in the community. So instead of trying to lead the people out of sin, they encouraged sin to increase their profits." Why am I quoting this? The more chaos the Democrats create, the more profits they will receive. I firmly believe that Donald Trump is NOT supposed to be alive today. The Democrats, especially when you find out more and more about that day and the shooter, wanted chaos for the Republicans except it backfired. Their party is now in chaos. Look at a comment from her: "We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f ing door down," Harris said to a large audience, sparking cheers. "Excuse my language," she added." This is a person that doesn't mind violence and the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration knew exactly what they were doing. . .

the butler pa site is now looking like the most terrible, most vulnerable, most dangerous choice in real estate history. what trump rep set that up as the best venue in pa for his safety?? here's what we've heard: the only true security came from the rally-goers themselves, screaming at officials to act! there were no security dogs, no security drones , no exclusions to block entrance to the stage or slope-roofed building, allegedly owned by blasdkrock and/or fizer. there was someone on the water tower above the site. the shooter flew a drone over the site; ''security'' did not. a female with a black MAGA hat was positioned close to the stage filming PDT with her camera; she is alleged to be undercover FBI. as for staffing, seems it's worse than you think: josh hawley reported info from whistleblowers ...MOST of Trump’s security detail were not even Secret Service. DHS assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel, 're-uniformed as secret service.' as you all know at this point, most likely, director cheetoz used to guard crispy snacks-until she was DIE hired by ''doctor'' jill. she doesn't want to step down, it appears, because she wants more $$ in retirement benefits.

In an obvious effort to protect impeached Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle pretended to testify Monday before the House Oversight Committee about the shooting of former President Donald Trump. Her obvious assignment was to stonewall, hide behind “ongoing investigations,” and simply refuse to answer questions she had the answers to. One question that was answered is a total bombshell.

Kamala Harris will likely be the next president of the United States – and that’s overall good news if you care about democracy, justice and equality. Joe Biden’s decision on Sunday to bow out of the presidential race clears the path for the country to elect its first woman and first woman of color as president. Even though the electoral fundamentals for this year’s election have always favored the Democrats – despite what numerous misleading polls have been showing (and with most of the news media reacting purely off those polls) – Harris’s selection will largely shore up the weaknesses that were dragging down Biden’s poll numbers.

The controversy over Biden’s dementia and ability to perform the duties of president appears to be over, although the nagging and quite large issue remains of whether he is able to perform the duties of president for the next seven months. And yet almost immediately, questions about the way Biden withdrew began to swirl,

"It seems to have been a superficial wound to the ear, and that’s all. . . I don’t think there is much more to it I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage." That was Dr. Anthony Fauci last week on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Dr. Fauci changed his diagnosis from Trump’s “wound” to “injured,” as though Trump had been involved in an accident. In reality, Dr. Fauci never wanted to treat gunshot wounds, and that’s why he became a

The push to dump the nation’s first black vice president was posted just after President Joe Biden announced he would not run in the 2024 election — and it could threaten Democratic turnout in November. The board first provided some throat-clearing praise for Biden: By agreeing to step down when his term ends in January, he is greatly increasing the chance that his party is able to protect the nation from the dangers of returning Donald Trump to the presidency.
