Please Tell Me the Secret Service Is Really Not This Incompetent

 7/17/24 Yahoo News:

Law enforcement officials investigating the assassination attempt on Donald Trump told lawmakers Wednesday that 20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on a rooftop and the time shots were fired at the former president, according to several law enforcement officials and lawmakers briefed on the matter.

Officials said the snipers spotted the suspect, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, on the roof of a building outside the security zone at the rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, at 5:52 p.m. ET. The shooting happened at 6:12 p.m. ET, 20 minutes later, the sources said.

In the days since the shooting, the Secret Service has come under scrutiny for its response to the assassination attempt and the agency's director, Kimberly Cheatle, has been subpoenaed to testify before Congress. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said she "welcomes the opportunity to testify."

"Gee, I see a guy with a rifle over there.  Is he hunting?"

"Who knows?"

"Should we tell Trump not to go on the stage?"

"That's a hard decision."

  1. The Secret Service isn't.

    The people they sent to guard Trump were.

  3. It's almost as if the (demonrat controlled) SS WANTED Trump to be murdered. But that's obviously just a conspiracy only 'magatards' believe.
