Oops.

Rumor is that the director of the USSS will announce her resignation on Monday.

What a cluster...

Has anyone noticed that there's been no press conference, etc? Just some FB and X releases.

Did you notice the flock of Senators chasing her down the hallway at the RNC?

She wasn't supposed to be there. Rumor is ...She had a private meeting with Trump.

It will always be impossible to imagine Crooks being part of any conspiracy.

Too many incidents to be coincidence?

It's the government. Never attribute to malice...

And the hits just keep on coming...

Is that the shooter? Or someone else?

Possible it was someone else.

But...

It was the right location, at the right time.

If not, maybe they'll get their chance.

Trump is going back to Butler...

[jon-nyc]

Smart move. It’ll put the assassination attempt back on the spotlight for a while.

[Mik]

I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, honestly it seems to be as simple as this.

The secret service picked their secure zone, told local law enforcement to patrol outside the zone. The secret service made sure folks were screened, didn't have weapons, had bomb sniffing dogs, had the car ready to go, and even counter snipers (who eventually saw Crooks but likely didn't have the green light to take the first shot).

The secret service has to lock down a Trump event like once a day, sometimes twice a day, in a different location each time... eventually it becomes a bit routine and they rely on local law enforcement to protect "outside the zone". And to that end, law enforcement were there but weren't on their toes looking for someone to do something as brazen as climbing onto a roof with a gun with counter snipers all around.

Just my take, anyway.
