PA - Assassination attempt, shooting injures former POTUS Donald Trump, leaves 1 spectator deceased two in critical condition, 13 July 2024 #4

[Simply Southern]

The real bombshell came from Senator Blackburn. She stated the committee had received a letter from a secret service sniper. The sniper has been with the agency over 20 years and was a former Marine. He discussed in detail the fractured agency. He stated since the event everyone was trying to cover their b utt.

The email was deleted off "the server" she did not define what server the Congressional server or the secret service server. She specifically asked and the committee approved her request for Rowe to disclose who deleted email from the server.

He was caught off guard. He did admit to knowing about the letter, the content and that it was deleted from a secured server.


She also stated there have been many whistleblower that have come forth to the committee.

There's clearly much more information the judicial and Homeland Security Congressional members have knowledge than publicly released.

Moo...

This article was just published by Washington Post. Basically it says local LE “shot at” Crooks first. Then the SS sniper neutralized him. Again this is from Washington Post

I am searching for credible audio now from the rally just to try to hear the shot described

I completely agree this needs to be investigated by unbiased party(s). There’s a lot of finger pointing and now use of “protocols” and word salads being tossed about by everyone involved. Someone did not do their job that day. Or more. And should be accountable. Period

“credible audio now from the rally just to try to hear the shot” : listen to Gray Hughes Investigates on You Tube. [BBM]

He would have been only 15 and 16 during that time! Yikes if true.
They still need verify.

I'm waiting on the verification, but 15, 16 is young enough to still be "trying on" personalities. Back in my day, you might have gotten busted in young adulthood for cringy adolescent choices if you never threw out that literature, record album, journal entry. Now, if a younger teen develops a web page then realizes they are not that person, it could live on.

It is sad, though, that he was exposed to that kind of hate such that he'd repeat it. If it was him.

MOO

I am astonished that they pulled agents from Trump to switch to Jill Biden. It has been reported that she had 12 agents assigned to her indoor speech, as opposed to 3 assigned to Trumps outdoor rally. Wow, that is really the proof of why the SS didn't care about Trump's security. MOO

The agents pulled were for her airport arrival. Im betting a significant number to cover her and her team getting off the plane with media present.

Yes, and whether we like it or not, an incumbent and family members of an incumbent are priority #1 and will receive the most security.

Therefore, IMO the problem was not that Trump was not prioritized over Jill Biden. The problems are what we already have learned….inadequate personnel for the type of venue, too small of a perimeter, and especially the faulty communications between SS and the local LE.

In 2024, communications should be flawless. We have so many ways to keep in contact that didn’t exist for earlier assassinations or attempts.


In a different situation, on 9/11, so many firefighters died needlessly in the WTC because their radio repeaters couldn’t connect that high up and they couldn’t hear their commanders’ calls to leave the towers.

This is not that situation, but I mention it because lessons from disasters often lead to improvements for “next time.” They didn’t need radio repeaters in this situation, but clear and faultless methods of contact should have been in place. All SS and LE should have known what to do and where to be at all times.

So this kid had a rangefinder for fishing. On a roof in a field. That should have rung the bells as suspicious just for being out of place.

Its unreal. It’s a dangerous thing to do when you are supposed to be premium protection for the candidate. It doesn’t end there though because every person who is attending the rally is also in danger.

How do you make a decision about who is going to be vulnerable that day? ‘Let’s do 12 over there, 12 in that location and 3 here’. That is unacceptable.

Is it anyone's opinion Trump should have a lawyer as witness in the interview?

Perhaps this should be done?

JMO

It would be routine for anyone with the means to bring an attorney, although I don't think this is at all a must-lawyer up situation. Trump was just the victim and the target.

Suuure. I don't believe one word coming from the FBI.

And why not?

The FBI is a reputable agency.

Another Wow! It seems like the SS will not disclose anything until someone else questions it, then they either admit or don't answer. If he knows about the letter, then he knows who deleted it or ordered it to be deleted. But why would it be deleted unless it's true? Who wants the truth to be hidden? This should be where the investigation continues. MOO

I just heard on radio news that the FBI has stated that they are only investigating the criminal aspect of the shooting at the President Trump rally, not the actions of the Secret Service regarding the planning and organization of the event.

If this is true, then it's a good thing that Congress is investigating, otherwise you have the SS investigating themselves.

I ask how is Congress investigating the actions of our Secret Service? To my knowledge Congress does not have an investigative branch of employees. Congress can request or even subpoenas SS employees to come before Congress and testify, but this does not replace the need for a true independent investigative team. That would require funding. IMO our federal agencies do not fear being investigated simply because they are the Feds, so therefore who is going to investigate us. If an independent commission is established to investigate this assassination attempt it will probably be similar to the Warren Commission or the 911 Commission. Both of which were very dependent on the FBI and other Federal investigators.
