The Secret Service secrets surface and boy are there secrets

What is slowly becoming more obvious is that the US Secret Service (USSS) isn't as competent as a small Pennsylvania PD with fewer than 20 cops after what we are seeing post-Trump assassination attempt. [Oh, by the way, Google has put Trump on the list of assassination attempts on US Presidents, but it took the public outcry to get them to do it. All you would get at first was Truman and a bunch of others, but not Trump.]

USSS's new Director keeps slowly leaking more details at the speed of molasses strained through a coffee filter. And the so called 'news' coverage is a joke. The details we get, however, seems to paint the Secret Service as a less innocent player in the event.

In their traditional "bury the news" strategy, Interim Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, along with his bizarre buzzcut, held a late Friday news conference. He said "we accept full responsibility" but really took no responsibility and told us little of what the $3 billion agency did at Trump's rally to protect him and other high-value targets.

We learned, however, that the Secret Service had NO RADIO COMMUNICATION with local POLICE and NO RADIO COMMUNICATION with the ANTI-SNIPERS. The vital communications were made via texts over an overloaded cell phone network.

There were NO SECRET SERVICE recordings of communications but THERE ARE OF THE LOCAL POLICE.

The responsibilities of the local snipers was made up by the USSS and if it weren't for the locals, we would know much less.

The Secret Service COMMAND CENTER was NOT CO-LOCATED with the local POLICE.

The investigators have YET to talk to the local police who were assisting the USSS, including the snipers (after three weeks!)

Butler, PA was the VERY FIRST TIME that the USSS PROVIDED SNIPERS FOR a TRUMP rally this election cycle.

The normal complement of Secret Service intelligence officers had been pulled from the rally!

If this is not the definition of a clusterfrack [misspelled on purpose] I don't know what is. They weren't even attempting to work with local law enforcement.

At a news conference Friday, acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe Jr. acknowledged that there were separate communications hubs that did not effectively share information in vital moments. “There might have been radio traffic that we missed. We have to be better on that,” he said.

No kidding, Sherlock.

Rowe repeatedly emphasized that the rally shooting was a failure by the Secret Service, not local law enforcement. “If the large majority of our partners are in a unified command post or in a different location, we need to probably be there, too,” Captain Obvious said.

“We’re certainly going to examine the communication aspect very closely,” Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said in response to questions from The New York Post.

At the time of the attempted assassination on the former President's life, Rowe was the deputy director in charge of ensuring that the protection resources and plans were in place to ensure this didn't happen. He was appointed to replace the execrable Kimberly Cheatle as the director by the indescribably corrupt Secretary of Homeland Security, who has been on an anti-Trump crusade for years.


It's not just the media who are memory-holing the assassination attempt, it is the Secret Service as well.

Let's not forget, the shooter was able to get off EIGHT SHOTS before they got him. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. 

Bang.
