"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Bongino said last night, his sources told him that several of the "agents" working the Trump Rally were not Secret Service, but employees of another agency.
This dovetails with Crabtree's reporting.

I understand that former presidents get a lower, thinner, level of protection than the current POTUS. How does the former president's protection compare to the presumptive nominee's protection? Does the presumptive nominee's protection rise after the convention?

Don't know.
I do know Trump also uses private security to flesh out his Secret Service detail.

That’s gotta lead to some problems. Secret service gonna let a private security guy with a gun near the former president?

Secret Service sez...

The Secret Service canceled their press conference the other night.
And you have accusations from various sources about deficiencies of one kind or another.
Plus, Congress said they plan to hold hearings on the Secret Service and their role, responsibility and response in this assassination attempt.

@LuFins-Dad , consider the possibility that her holster may have been grabbed or nudged out off its usual place in the midst of chaos.

Link to videoThose are retention holsters. They require a specific draw and reholstering. If adrenaline is screwing up your fine motor skills, it's a difficult task. Plus, her vision is not on the holster.
So, it's a training issue. They say it takes 10,000 reps to permanently imprint muscle memory. I don't think there are any shortcuts for DEI hires.

Yeah that's not how muscle memory works.

In the video, there is a guy in the forefront (in a ball cap) giving the middle finger to someone. Not sure what that is about.

Some of the NBC personnel on site reported some animosity directed towards members of the media after the shooting. Apparently, some of the Trump supporters felt that many of the media had amplified the dangerous rhetoric about the fundamental threat to the nation that Trump represents…

The head of the Lincoln Project asserted that the only way to stop Trump was to put a bullet in him.
So, there's that....
