Secret Service Prep Before Trump Shooting Shows It Was a Clown Show

To express yourself, you can use great thoughts and inside abbreviations. However, the Secret Service monitoring of the Butler, Pa., page of Donald Trump’s near-assassination may best be summed up in these three basic words: a villain show. If you had n’t figured that out by now, it was unwittingly confirmed during a news conference ( see below ) Friday. &nbsp,

The Secret Service brass’s incredible tales, which have been circulating for about a decade, have come to believe that they have since been overstepping their duties and holding things up with zip relationships and duct tape. I base this on journalist reports, Dan Bongino’s tirades, and evidence, but I also base the assessment on a surprising entrance made by the acting commander of this dress in his briefing on Friday. &nbsp,

Now, I first want you to put yourself in the place of a Burger King shift manager, tech CEO, 7-11 night clerk, person planning a vacation, a guy on a sales call with a purchasing manager, platoon commander planning a mission, fashion show coordinator, or, I do n’t know, perhaps the guy in charge of operations and his site manager of the Secret Service, who are supposed to know that details matter. &nbsp,

” ]I ] t’s a failure to challenge our assumptions, meaning the assumption that, hey, that’s going to be addressed or that’s going to be covered by state and local”, Secret Service Acting Director Ronald&nbsp, Rowe told reporters when they asked him what happened. &nbsp,

They asked, inevitably, what adjustments were being made. Rowe, ever the company man, told them,” I convened a call with all of our special agents in charge of all of our field offices” .&nbsp,

Nice. Get on. &nbsp,

I expressed to them, hear, we need our state and local counterparts, but we also have to be extremely strong, very clear about what our expectations are about what we need from them, &nbsp, whether it’s a special asset, whether it’s certain numbers of personnel, we need to be very apparent so that they have an understanding of exactly what we need from them.

That is that’s on us. We must be more effective speakers and clearly state what we need to do to address any issues, concerns, or issues raised by the advance process. &nbsp,

]M] oving ahead now, we’re not going to have this notion that, oh, we think that they have it. No, we’re going to we’re going to work along. We’re going to include fruitful, difficult, and passionate discussions about what we’re going to do before going out and making these locations secure. &nbsp,

Excuse me, but people who hold life and limb in their hands —including those of a former president—do n’t thoroughly explain what is expected of their local counterparts? That they&nbsp, assume&nbsp, they know? How is this possible? This may reveal why, if not wholly, no one was covering the roof from which the bullets came. There are many, many queries about that. &nbsp,

Secret Service had plenty of primary, secondary, and primary strategies to obtain Trump surrounded, exfiltrated, and taken to a doctor, but who was supposed to do the spade work of getting the visitors to know and understand the goal and all the situations, such as how not to get the senator killed? &nbsp,

How did that young woman completely ruin the assignment? That’s right, we’ve now got two lawmakers who have revealed the person in charge was a woman who is” still on mission” and “working cases” and has n’t been put in front of a whiteboard to write Corey Comperatore’s name 152 times. A Secret Service counter-sniper turned Thomas Crooks ‘ head into a moonscape, and he received four victims for the number of victims the killer had hit, one hundred forty for the number of yards the shooter was from a president, and eight for the number of shots the radical leftist received before a local police officer started shooting.

It looks like the gunslingers knew what to do when word&nbsp, finally&nbsp, got to them, another critical error. &nbsp,

In Tuesday’s Senate testimony, Rowe admitted that communication between local law enforcement—tasked with helping keep Donald Trump alive—was non-existent. One local guy was “embedded” with agents but could n’t get word out of the Thomas Crooks on the roof before the shooting started. See my accounts of the total failures:

I’m glad Rowe saw fit to hold a presser. I’m hoping he does more. Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-Fla. ) rebuke of the acting director for not holding press conferences appears to have been heard and taken into account. &nbsp,

There are many other things the Secret Service needs to address behind the scenes. In my forthcoming VIPs column, I’ll cover that more. &nbsp,
