I am confused...

I am not able to pull up the above article link on my antique iPad...

So maybe one of you way better sleuthers than I am can clarify...

I have in my notes (no confirmation) that Kevin Rojek is/was actually the FBI Special Agent in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office...
And that there is/was a separate female SECRET SERVICE Agent also in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office...

Two separate organizations...
at same location...

All... JMO...

This is a great question. Who exactly does Kevin Rojek work for - the FBI or the SS? He's touted as the "new man in charge at Pittsburgh FBI's office on the South Side" in this article on May 29, 2024. Can the SS place FBI guys on desk duty?

My name is Kevin Rojek, and I’m the special agent in charge of the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office.

From Google…

US Secret Service
112 Washington Pl, Pittsburgh, PA 15219

FBI
3311 E Carson St, Pittsburgh, PA 15203

I think the link is broken.
ETA.. the above link seems to be working now

Wow, I'm shocked to see you posting on here.
So why is Kevin Rojek listed as one of the agents placed on administrative duty by the SS?

Kevin equals lead agent of FBI Pittsburgh Field Office...

Soooo
WHO IS THE LEAD AGENT AT THE SECRET SERVICE FIELD OFFICE...
Whose name has been... and seems to continue to be...
PROTECTED/WITHHELD?

P.S. My capitalization does not mean I am yelling at any of you fine sleuthers...
I am just frustrated with lack of transparency on part of media AND some of our government agency officials.

Standing over the gunman’s dead body minutes later, a local police officer who responded to the initial warning expressed frustration that his own radio calls about a man on the roof seemed to go unheeded by the other officers.

“That’s what I was *advertiser censored*king calling out bro, *advertiser censored*king ‘On top of the roof,’” the officer said, according to body camera footage. “We’re not – we on the same frequency?”

Here's the YT of the frequency discussion. He's speaking to Washington County SWAT (police-like uniform) and Beaver County SWATs (military-like uniforms). Secret Service hasn't climbed the roof yet.

FWIW the two local snipers, one of whom the local DA claims is only yards away inside one of the second floor windows (sorry, nobody believes that any more) has yet to be heard from over the radio here (=10 minutes after the crime) and yes the two were both wearing radios!

Kevin equals lead agent of FBI Pittsburgh Field Office...

And apparently something of an expert in cyber crime. I suppose the event was extra-safe from hacking, just not shooting. Feels like more scapegoating to me, like the local LE's.

Most of you above wanting to tar-and-feather Rojek got the wrong man.

CORRECTION: (Aug. 23, 2024 11:38 a.m.) A previous version of this article misstated the federal agency Kevin Rojek works for. He is head of the FBI’s field office in Pittsburgh, not the Secret Service’s. He has not been placed on leave and the reference to him has been deleted.

Some Secret Service officials have been placed on leave in response to Trump assassination attempt

Those on leave include the head of the Pittsburgh field office, whose office was responsible for coordinating the security plan in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

Personally... i do not know what to think of FBI agent Rojek at this time...

But... I DO continue to ask who is the lead SECRET SERVICE agent at the secret service Pittsburgh field office.

Moo... I think this news site is confusing the FBI and SS. Poor research skills
SS does not list any employee names or job titles for the field offices.
