Interesting of articles. #1 Obviously the SS was in charge of security... so it's absurd to blame local LEOs, #2 Dallas Alexander is far more trained and experienced than most and I agree with him 100%. The 20 year old loser didn't make the security for the event stand down. He had help.philip964 wrote: Mon Jul 15, 2024 7:20 am https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/s ... -pa-rally/

9 Dem House members who attempted to remove Trumps SS protection.
“Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,” one of the sources, a former senior Secret Service agent who was familiar with the planning, told NBC News.
We'll see who takes blame for thisBoth the former senior Secret Service official and Goldinger said Secret Service is ultimately responsible for securing areas outside the venue.
A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building that Thomas Crooks crawled on top of to fire at and nearly kill former President Donald Trump
According to the outlet, an officer from the Butler Township Police had climbed on a fellow officer’s shoulders to check out the roof of the building moments before the shooting, but backed away after Crooks pointed the rifle at him.
A Butler City Police Department dispatcher told the Washington Post that the Pennsylvania State Police was in charge of securing the building, but the state police did not respond to a request by the newspaper for comment.
The source also suggested a “guy with a weapons case” was reported to local police, but it is not clear whether that is Crooks, and who had reported him. The source also alleged the Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks did not take the shot immediately at Crooks because he knew the local sniper team was supposed to be on that roof, and he had to “deconflict.”
“Complete _______ show and failure,” the source wrote in the text.
Another shocking report from local news station WPIX Channel 11 News said law enforcement spotted Crooks on the roof nearly 30 minutes before he fired at Trump
But the SS counter sniper team that shot the assassin was on a sloped roof that day. Her statement clearly conflicts with reality. Kim Cheatle just established herself as a prime suspect in the murder of Mr. Corey D. Comperatore and the attempt on President Trump.Secret Service director Kim Cheatle, good friend of Jill Biden ... didn't post snipers on the roof where Trump was shot at because it was a sloped roof and she was afraid someone might slip and fall... and so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building from the inside
She needs to step down immediately or else be fired for incompetence. If the buck stops with her, this she should no longer have a job.Paladin wrote: Tue Jul 16, 2024 10:40 am https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1813226153219441070

I have 100 percent confidence in the United States Secret Service. And what you saw on stage on Saturday, with respect to individuals putting their own lives at risk for the protection of another, is exactly what the American public should see every single day. It is what I indeed do [see].
Cheatle was appointed by President Joe Biden in August 2022, but her agency is part of Mayorkas’s vast department.
