Three weeks out, and we still don't know. Not even an answer to the question: "Is it standard to leave outside the security perimeter a rooftop with line of sight to protectee of less than 200 yards?"

Who dropped the ball in Bulter? Start there. She wasn’t there. Someone in charge was there.

I would say the female agent who couldn't figure out how to holster her weapon needs to be fired. Overdue, actually.
Not excusing her incompetence but thought she was actually a Homeland Security desk agent that was forced to step into help bc they didn’t have enough agents (lol)? If so, I’m much more interested in firing the person who made that decision than her. She’s probably some HS accounting clerk.

I’m looking forward to the first time local units hold a presser before a rally talking about the lack of working relationship and help they are getting from SS.

Good point.
Senator Johnson asked the Acting Director of SS, "Is it true that you denied sniper protection at events outside of driving range from DC?" Director Rowe emphatically denied it.
But Rowe did say today that the Butler rally was the first event for former President Trump that had Secret Service snipers. Would have been great to have a reporter ask, "Why was that?"

Well, the director resigned.
Who else do you think needs to be fired?
Lol, fricking everyone.

The new director just hasn't had enough time to evaluate this process.

Good one.

I shite you not, The woman that was seen crouching behind Trump and then unable to holster her gun was the site coordinating SS agent for that butler event.

That...or Tim Burke.

Multiple people in the Secret Service were part of the assassination plot.
Simple incompetence is not plausible,
Firing isn't enough. Need to be investigating SS to find who was and wasn't part of the plot. Any that were should be charged (I don't know what the right charge would be, conspiracy to commit treason?)

Is this a real logical question in YOUR mind?

At the Senate Hearing, Director Rowe said that the reason his snipers couldn't see Crooks before he started shooting was because Crooks was lying down below the peak of the roof.
At today's press conference, not ONE reporter asked, "So, now that the video of Crooks RUNNING around on the roof has come out, would you like to revisit the excuse?"

Local law enforcement have spoken out against the feds before and will do so again. In fact, Butler PD agents have already spoken out publicly against the SS saying exactly that.

Maybe the DEI hired woman that had no clue how to draw or holster her weapon on scene and at the hospital.

She was also a part of the site assessment team. I think she was in charge of it actually.
