Secret Service under fire

It does not seem likely that that kid would become involved in a serious conspiracy to do serious things in this world. It is more likely that, in fact, he learned how to build that bomb by himself on the internet, and that he “snuck past” our crack secret service to take his shots at Trump.

According to an attorney who specializes in self-defense, there's no excuse for the delay in taking out the alleged assassin.
"The law allows for them to use deadly force in the defense of the President or any other innocent person the moment they reasonably perceive an imminent deadly force threat to that innocent person. That means they don't have to wait for a shot to be fired by the bad guy first, they don't have to be certain he's a bad guy. It could be wrong, it just has to be reasonably perceived as a deadly threat."

You know, I kinda suspect that the secret service saw this geeky little kid, acting as incompetent as hell, trying to get through security with a range finder, crawling on the ground, and all the other shit, and thought it was a joke or thought the kid couldn’t pose a real threat.

I don’t know about you, but I’d see a guy with a rifle trying to get to a place to fire as an imminent threat.

It might have been a miracle that DJT turned his head when and how he did, but there was a veritable witches brew of errors and mistakes for the attempt to have gotten as far as it did.

Bongino said right after the assassination attempt, that his sources in the department told him they had to borrow agents from other agencies.
I would guess that desk-riders are pretty much interchangeable.
Field agents, not so much.
