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.
Moo
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.
