If you believed that getting more information may reveal less of the security information that was responsible for the former president’s shooting on Saturday, your expectations are too high.

U. S. Senators, in a mobile presentation by FBI Director Chris Wray and Secret Service commander Kimberly Cheatle, found that Trump’s would-be criminal, who murdered a person and critically wounded two others, had been under view by security personnel , for more than an hour , before he took the devastating shots from a roof outside the painful security perimeter.
Lawmakers told him the murderer had been spotted and in the scope of guns for up to 20 days before he fired, according to a writer for Punchbowl News, and they still allowed the previous leader of the free world to take the stage.  ,
He fired the shots that roughly almost nearly killed Trump 62 days after he was identified as suspicious and 20 days after he was picked up by hero groups.  ,
Additionally, a few days before the protest, Thomas Crooks, 20, was revealed to lawmakers that he had cased the location.  ,

When he arrived at the march, Crooks was let in and went through a magnet where they discovered he had a rangefinder.  ,
NEWS — Senate lecture on Trump protest shooting only concluded. Major lines, per 2 lawmakers on the phone:
—The gunman spent a few days looking at the march site.
Between the moment the gunman was spotted as suspicious and the time he fired, 62 minutes passed.— Andrew Desiderio ( @AndrewDesiderio ) July 17, 2024
The Secret Service captain, who is under a barrage of criticism for her poor management of this invasion, “barely spoke” in the phone. More galling, writer Andrew Desiderio said that U. S. lawmakers were “allowed” to ask just four issues of his majesty St. Chris of the FBI.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican in Alaska, questioned whether there were any foreign criminals involved, which the FBI director claimed were n’t.
Sen. Dan Sullivan cited recent reports about an Egyptian death plot against Trump as the source of the inquiry into a foreign connection. On the telephone, USSS Director Cheatle admitted that just four inquiries were permitted, and that he rarely spoke.
But hang on, because things get worse. According to CNN, Crooks entered the firing scene through the security guards and was later discovered to be carrying a prism. And they allowed him in.  ,
By 3 p. m. on Saturday, around three hours before the shooting, Crooks was at the safety monitoring area for the rally. According to a top law enforcement official who was given a briefing on the analysis, he initially sparked fear when he passed through the magnetometers carrying a prism, which looks similar to a modest pair of binoculars and is used by hunters and specific shooters to calculate distances when setting up a long-range shot.
Crooks would not have been able to pass the safety monitoring level thanks to the prism, but it did catch the attention of security personnel who continued to monitor him until he left the protected area.
As everyone is aware, as the shooter pressed the trigger on his AR15 rifle, Trump moved only a fraction of an inch. That action saved his life. Trump was given a pasture instead of being killed.  ,
TRUMP DODGED PERFECTLY AIMED SHOT NEW FOOTAGE SHOWS
Close-up footage reveals Thomas Crooks ‘ shot was perfectly centered on Trump’s head.
Trump was saved by leaning into the microphone and using a “head tilt” to look at a screen graphic.

The killer requested Saturday off from work and said he would be back on Sunday after being shot by a Secret Service sniper after being shot by the president.

Before the shootings, Crooks ‘ parents called the police to report his suspicious behavior and the disappearance of their son and their AR15 rifle.  ,
Neighbors claim that Crooks ‘ parents had Trump signs in their front yard but that they had to have them removed in the days leading up to the rally.  ,
Police say Crooks was n’t on social media but did use encrypted messaging, as many people do. A cell phone, which the FBI has been exploiting, and a transmitter were found next to his body. What purpose did the transmitter serve? The Senators might have been able to obtain that answer using one of their four questions. It’s possible that he may have wanted to use it as a detonator.  ,
According to The New York Times, Crooks reportedly had two radio-controlled homemade explosives in his car. It’s possible that he was going to set off the bombs as a distraction.  ,
Notably, the devices in Mr. Crooks’s car used a type of radio-control system for initiating fireworks displays, in which a single hand-held transmitter can broadcast a signal to multiple small receivers. A wire with a pyrotechnic compound on one end produces a small flame that ignites the firework, which in turn sends current to one of these.
The two devices in Mr. Crooks’s car were composed of ammunition cans — one metal, and one made of plastic — that each had a cardboard tube inside, filled with the gray powder recovered by police bomb technicians. A radio receiver unit was connected to each cardboard tube, which contained the head of an electric match.

So, let’s go to the tote board of shame:  ,
- Suspicious character.
- On-scenes images of the suspect character.  ,
- possessed a rangefinder and was entered.  ,
- Was in sites of snipers for 20 minutes before shooting.
- No one was watching the roof from which he shot the shots.  ,
- According to Dan Bongino, local police were supposed to be keeping watch over that structure. All of it.  ,
- Mom and Dad called to report son’s suspicious activities.
- And after all this, they let Trump go out on stage.  ,
- DHS Inspector General now investigating, which could take months or years.
Many people, in my opinion, need to lose their jobs. From beginning to end, this is a cluster.  ,
