USSS said they would 'take care of' slanted roof building Crooks used to shoot Trump

According to an investigation by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Secret Service agents assured Butler County, PA law enforcement that they would secure the AGR building with the scary slanted roof that would-be assassin Thomas Crooks used to shoot former President Donald Trump and others on July 13, Fox News reported.

"Butler County law enforcement officials stated that at separate times during the walkthrough, when they reiterated their concerns to the agents and counter sniper about securing the AGR complex buildings, the agents responded: ‘we will take care of it,’" Grassley's office revealed in a Tuesday letter to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe.

So who's lying? Butler County PD or the Secret Service whose job it is to protect the President, presidential candidates and others and who ultimately has the responsibility to that end in spite of having assistance from outside agencies?

Trump came within millimeters of being struck in the head during the outdoor rally, and three others in the massive crowd were struck and critically injured, one of whom, Corey Comperatore, was killed by the gunman who was perched merely 130 yards from the Republican presidential nominee.

The shooter was known to law enforcement and he was observed ahead of the event with a range finder but did not call attention to himself because his shirt was not labeled 'Assassin.'

Grassley questioned Rowe whether the Butler County law enforcement officials' claim is true and, if so, what the Secret Service did to secure the area with the AGR complex buildings. He also noted weeks prior to the first assassination attempt that Rowe told his fellow senators during a hearing that "what was communicated is that the locals had a plan and that they had been there before," regarding the roof the AGR building.

Sen. Grassley's staff interviewed law enforcement officials and said that this was disputed by them.

During a walkthrough on July 11, while preparing for the rally, Secret Service agents allegedly promised to secure the AGR complex area. The law enforcement officials said they had already warned the agents about their safety concerns several times during the visit.

The Republican again mentioned his many requests for information to the Secret Service, and noted that at least two of his requests resulted in claims "that it would not provide responses to my requests due to other ongoing investigations and reviews."

"That’s unacceptable and fails to take into consideration Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct independent oversight. It also flies in the face of your congressional testimony about responding to Congress," Grassley charged.

Senator Grassley's ongoing independent investigation is delving into several critical incidents, such as the assassination attempt on July 13. Additionally, he is examining the recently uncovered plot by Asif Merchant, an alleged Iranian agent, who intended to assassinate a politician or a U.S. official, potentially former President Trump. Another focus of Grassley's probe is the second assassination attempt on Trump, which occurred in Florida on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Biden and Harris are supposedly running the country.
