#Trump #Politics #BreakingNews
A guy with AR on a visible rooftop within 150 yds of president is a cartoonish disgrace.
I can't condone the act, but it is, as you described it.... fitting.
absurd
ROE. Stick to keyboard typing.
Ex President
What is worse is that all guy got was a glaze at ear.
So a 20 year old outsmarted the SS with over a 100 years of experience. Interesting
agreed!!!
Another programmed handy tool disposed of . This is like a loop repeating itself. Different zombies. Same outcome.
dude wasn’t dumb. He had a plan, graduated high school w/ some kind of merit award, & he had an AR15.
Well, it was security hand picked by Trump himself 😂
Did they silence the 20yr old to keep him from talking??
People in the audience saw the man on the roof, they told the police who did nothing.
Back the blue until it happens to you. Trup and his supporters just got a first hand view of police incompetence.
Maybe those cops were part of Biden's party..
Nah ..
Maybe they didn't say their line at the right time.. they jumped the gun 😂
There were people in the building who saw him and did nothing. Then they saw him again with a range finder and called it in and again did nothing. Then saw him again with a napsack and called it in and did nothing. They were watching him from inside the building thru the window?
We don't need an expert but common sense. It was a disaster 🙄🙄🙄
There’s no excuse for that rooftop being ignored
I agree
According to a former Secret Service officer, they blueprint perimeters and rooftops *in conjunction with local law enforcement*, who are responsible for that portion of security.
@LivingInAnInverseRealityTrump is pure evil.
@@LizInTheB That's truly frightening.
Rooftops for generally staffed by secret service, atf, or local law enforcement. A person on a rooftop would look like security and not a risk
Common people saw it unfold; professionals didn't.
These "professionals" and especially those who put them there, see common people as stupid, blind and insignificant.
Thank you!
you said it best
@@Juiced10111who was the woman just behind and to DJT left who used her phone! The; looked like she smiled. And, what was the receiver beside the shooter?
No excuses!!!!!!
Leave it to NBC to make all the excuses!
Mainstream media lies and gaslights.
Biden and Soros are paying them good money to do so
Shes so wordy but says nothing.
Civilians saw him.
She got her moment on the TV.
BUNCH of gibberish
She said nothing. Her makeup and hair and outfit are impeccable
i thought the same thing. womansplaining absolutely nothing
They all sound the same, where were the drones it would have told them 💯 there was someone there so over this crap
She’s an expert? lol
@@leeallen-w1x …she has been a secret agent for Bill Clinton, George Bush, Obama and Trump….so yes she does have experience.
There's many witnesses on camera saying they told police that there was a man with a gun on the roof. Why not interview them instead since they were actually there?
they are no longer wanting to do interviews, initially they did because the heat of the moment. 3 family members of witnesses have said they do not want to be publicly involved in media frenzy.
intentional
They told police and secret service. One guy was shouting at secret service agents that a man with a rifle is on the roof, but they just looked at him.
@@jackspring7709 A higher up told them to stand down, even after they had the shooter in their sights.
@@jackspring7709
She's a secret service puppet...
She has great dance moves... but it's all the skill of the operator.
Absolutely. She's younger, prettier, and more likeable than the director. She's zero percent more convincing to anyone with any critical thinking skills. Unfortunately the same people that believe the anti-Trump propaganda will eat this up.
You know absolutely nothing.
Muppet?
Obviously she has to be careful of what she says. 🙄
shes lying through her teeth.
What beautiful teeth though. I'll believe anything she says 🤤
Secret Service is full of DEI hires now..every one of them should be ashamed of putting their egos and self interest before the protectees, endangering their teams and embarrassing America by taking the places of more merited and more competent men..
@@MystiqWisdom teeth paid by taxpayers
@@peterwilliam4044😂😅😂
How would you know.
She sounds pretty smart on it all. She’s not excusing them. But she’s got several interviews out there that show she knows what she’s talking about. But most these people weren’t even secret service
I don't want to hear nothing about a lack of funding. The secret service is a mult-billion dollar agency with the most advanced technology
She meant the local police.
That doesn’t mean they won’t pull funding anyway
4:12 here starts the dumbest excuse ever, like as if an official can't prioritise a civilian that's trying to tell something important
She is really trying to tell us that not putting a single police officer (that is employed by the respective city already anyways) on that roof for a couple of hours is a budget issue.
From what I heard a week ago, the Mayor was still trying to get Trump to pay for the previous costs of security from 2020! You get what you pay for?
I am a Marine Corps veteran....
I don't trust the secret service
We citizens will NEVER be told the entire truth. I'm guessing they will "self investigate" and find NO wrong doing.
Semper Fi. Neither do I.
The secret service probably don't trust the marine corps. Paranoia runs deep over there.
She protects the secret service when there is hard evidence it was an inside job.
Ask JFK
All that verbal diarrhea only proves that something very rotten in the kingdom of secrets .
Her analogy of the conductor for an orchestra only works for a few hours. Until the facts come out. Local law enforcement says they told the Secret Service they couldn’t protect the building.
So in the Conductor analogy, the violin players didn’t show up up. They told the conductor they weren’t going to show up 2 days before. And then the conductor performs the whole concert without violins, and they act surprised that there were no violins. But first they say that there weren’t any violin players because the chairs in the violin section weren’t safe to sit in.
Sorry, this analogy falls apart. I’m the analogy master. A bad analogy only misleads if it faces no scrutiny. Which is what I expect from Today. I assume the final analysis is that this super-sleuth 20 year old nobody knows anything about just got lucky.
When will someone ask the FBI if they had contact with the shooter, under oath?
Secret Service is full of DEI hires now..every one of them should be ashamed of putting their egos and self interest before the protectees, endangering their teams and embarrassing America by taking the places of more merited and more competent men..
the sheer amount of incompetence is absolutely staggering
There are only two reasons for why this happened. Either the Secret Service is completely incompetent OR they allowed it to occur. In both cases, it is clear that the Secret Service needs to be HEAVILY investigated and held accountable. We need details of EVERY part of this.
Also, the excuse that it occurred after Trump began to speak or that he had clothing that made him difficult to see is completely irrelevant. It did not matter when it happened, at no point should he have been able to get on that roof with a rifle visible and the Secret Service did NOTHING. Stop excusing a failure that left a man dead and others severely injured.
One more reason mentioned - not enough resources! They had two local law enforcement policeman on top of one building near the stage. The Secret Service had two more people on the other building. The local police were also involved with the Secret Service to secure the ground and run the metal detectors to enter. Bulter, PA has a total of 13 policemen. That is it. There were not enough people locally and in the Secret Service protecting Trump to cover that building as well, and the risk was regarded low enough to let it go. The Trump campaign asked for more resources for the Secret Service and it was denied. Not enough resources were available, plain and simple, and this happened.
This administration is incompetent.
Why would their SS be any different?
He is not THE president but a former president. He's also a candidate for president. The Secret Service detail is not as large as it would be for the current commander in chief, so they have to work hand and hand with local law enforcement. The immediate perimeter is controlled by SS, while the outside perimeter is law enforcement. The failure here is that the local police did not have the training, say the NYC or LA police department have in potential threats. From the eye witness accounts, it sounded like the local police, after being alerted of the threat, had a "What do I do? What do I do?" mentality. The Secret Service sniper had his rifle trained on the suspect but probably was not getting the "go" through his com. "Is it a threat? Is it a gun or telescope or? What am I looking at? Do I shoot?" You will notice his response as soon as it was evident the suspect had a gun was a split second after the first shot.
My brother is in secret service, it us called SPG (Special Protection Group) in India and had been appointed 16 months for Prime Minister Security in India . Let me share with 100% confidence, in my brother opinion, Trump security service is definitely compromised and involved in the failed assanination of the former President Trump.
1. My brother, as SPG in India have been part of joint excercises with US secret service and he have high regard for the competence of US secret service. Hence the incompetence in this case is out of the window.
2. The Secret Service have 2 books: Blue book and Yellow book. These 2 books contains detailed protocols to be followed for the safety of the protected Individual.
3. The Blue book contains security protocols for President, Prime Minister and family members residing with them. List micro and macro steps to be taken to protect them and protocols for exigencies.
4. The Yellow book contains security categorisation and arrangement protocols for protected individuals, and responsibilities of security agencies and the local police. The federal goverment, in coordination with different intelligence agencies, issues guidelines from time to time
5. Typically the venue is surveyed in advance (2 weeks in advance) and first basic thing is to identify and secure all high vantage point in line of sight of the individual path of movement.
6. 2 secret service personnel are planted on all high vantage point (with no exception). One will focus on the individual and nearby while other will focus on other vantage point and nearby.
7. Drone surveillance is contantly done by the secret service to have a top down security details.
8. Local police work in direction & command and in coordination with the secret service. Each nearby building and area will be secured and each ingress & egress are manned by local police till the event last. This is done for all 3 perimeter marked. Local police alongwith secret service are responsible for 2 out perimeter and closest 3rd perimeter are entirely under CPT(close protection team). The CPT act as a human shield for the protected individual.
9. In my brother opinion based on experience, there is more than 7-8 protocol failure in the Trump incident and it can't be incompetence of secret service. Few mole in secret service must be colluding with assassin for this lapse to have happened.
answer is B.. Biden's government allowed this and the kid was affiliated with Black Rock
How did a 20 year old kid that lived an hour away from the location, show up to the rally, move around the outside of the event with an AR rifle and not be noticed? Then he knew what building and roof top to set up on and how to access that roof top without being seen moving toward the location. Then get Into a firing position and be 140 yards away from Trump within 6 minutes of the rally start and fire his weapon? Several people noticed the shooter getting into position minutes before he started shooting, yelling to police about the man on the roof with a rifle. No action taken?
That doesn't seem possible.
Exactly! The whole situation reeks of incompetence *or* corruption.
Your absolute right!!! It doesn't make sense
💯
Planted
He lived 30 minutes from this location. I realized this because my son is visiting the area right now. He had been at this exact same place a couple days before. He is staying within a few houses of where this pos lived.
She’s an apologist for the agency.
She is a clown not a secrete service agent .She is incompetently trying to make excuses .
I thought she was Lady Gaga at first.
Imagine that. They send a woman to display more incompetence from the SS.
U better Google her, Evy Poumpouras, she served 4 presidents.. she is the real deal. None of this would have happened if people of her level was in service that day, I can assure you that
@@EllieBCN101She's a DEI hire. A dwarf with downs could have served out terms, too, with her bit of luck over that course. She also would have failed that fateful day. She does not belong in her position, period. The obfuscation of an explanation she gave here shows that to be true.
It’s the government’s way. Fail miserably make excuses and blame others.
Yes we'll said
AND COVER UP ETC.
No that's the republican way.
A complete failure of Secret Service and security
Secret Service people do not need a stupid black glass.can't see anything..number 2 where is the umbrella
@@mglmori Wrong, the black sunglasses are there to block the sun from their eyes so they can see better and also to hide their eyes from the crown so they can't tell what the agents are looking at.
What security?
How so?
wow this now easy secret service is so secret more like sloppy service!!!!
This was a weak assessment. They knew the risk was high 30min in advance
This woman is not capable of admiting that the secret service dropped the ball. No ifs or buts.
Oh my gosh.
She's an amazing woman and has a record of excellence serving this country.
Remember : due to the ongoing investigations it's too early to come to final conclusions and results. That's what she is saying
That's what they all say when they want to cover it up.@@beatewagner7.2934

What is she on about?🤣
The shooter was literally seen with a WEAPON before he started CLIMBING. He spoke with a police officer, was EASILY visible to the public way before it happened AND there were call ins about a man being on top of a roof with a gun right next to the snipers who were pointed RIGHT at him. It can not and does not get more obvious people...
@yegor6763 not to mention the fact the building he was on was the command centre for the SS and local

@@yegor6763 did you check the date? This was before additional details were released.
They’re asking her these questions 2 days ago. She isn’t going to speculate. It doesn’t help anyone. She’s answering their questions with the information she had at the time based on her prior experience.
She's either another paid actor, posing as a "former secret service" agent, in order to give the usual "expert opinion". Or, she's just looking for her 15mins of fame. I mean...she does look good after all....
Thanks Lady Gaga for your analysis
fits her, Gaga means crazy or stupid in my country of origin.
😂
Who refused to give permission to fire?
Who gave the standdown order?
Who failed (or decided) to take Trump off the stage ?
Who refused or failed to allocate the proper resources?
Who subverted/sabotaged the SS?
ALL OF THESE ALTERNATIVES WARRANT MANSLAUGHTER/ CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE CHARGES...
She was the agent in charge of tactical makeup and hair...
Aren't they ashamed of taking the places of more competent men?
No accountability due to female privilege...just excuses
We can do everything men can do , better"
Then when its time for accountability: "buhooo, Im just a poor woman" or "misogyny"
My question is how did the gunman KNOW that the building wasn’t secured?
how do you know it wasnt secured? It was, but he found a breach in the building. And he was noticed quite quickly. So security is there.
But to stop him, is another thing. He started shooting in a short time, right after confronted police officer, so there was no time report to SS
True.
Depends, he could've just known where it would take place & risked it in order to carry out the plan
Great question
@@WorldPolitica-gm9is everyone knows it wasn't secured because he got up there with a ladder no problem with a rifle in his hands.
So a 20 year old climbed up a building that housed the police? The building was being used as a staging area for cops. Just think about that!
The pizza and wings had just arrived…
@@paulkersey7458😂😂😂Are you serious?
Well ya know the A-frame blocked their view 😏
That was a lie. They weren't using that building for anything.
I think everyone should be posting these questions;
( Who put the latter against the building that allowed access to the most prime sniper position?
Why wasn't there an Overwatch Detail at that prime sniper position?
Why wasn't President Trump taken off the stage when the Secret Service was alerted 3 minutes before the first shot was fired? ) Copy/Paste EVERYWHERE!
This was a failed Coup d'Etat!!!!
I noticed that he seemed to be wearing beige or light gray pants and a darker Tee: at the same distance, the cops standing on the roof had a similar color scheme.
Its crazy to think that a kid just outsmart the security of one of the most protected personality in the world
Im honestly so disappointed. How can our secret service fail to stop a kid? It wasn’t like he was a part of some organized group, he was a kid chilling on a visible rooftop 150 yards away with an AR. We have all this intel, technology, manpower, and we can’t stop a 20 year old kiddo. This is absolutely a disgrace
I disagree that he wasn't part of a group. His group was the Secret Service.
This is so bad, stop blaming the local police, this is the Secret Services job not theirs!
Secret service is to walk the entire area long before tha rally, and they do work with local law inforcement. They dropped the ball, but an officer should naturally through training not need to be told to be alert and ready for the worse case senario.
Making Excuses..... Secret Service and Local Police should of had ever area covered..... From President 🎩 Trump to Reagan to Kennedy to Mckinley and Garfield and Lincoln... Security should of been Tight for all of them ... When a Tragedy happens everyone puts the Blame on someone else
Yes the local police are still at fault.
They could have stopped that man from ever getting on that roof.
Period.
EXACTLY
@@dogsaregreat3870 should have could have, and they might have taken him for a secret service sniper since actually, a secret service sniper would have been way more likely to be on that roof that day than just some random shooter. Just as almost everybody on this thread is saying.
She was reluctant to state the facts that they left that roof unsecured.
She is just trying to tell how the secret service is supposed to do things, and it seems like she is trying to figure how it could have even been a possibility, her pride for the organization that she worked for has taken a serious blow and I’m sure it’s hard for her to come to terms with that.
@@Bountiful_Events finally, an Adult speaking.
@@Bountiful_Events Yep and they failed... Pretty SIMPLE IF YOU GET AS MUCH MONEY AS SECRET SERVICE AND IS THE HIGHEST MILITARY CAPICATY OF THE WORLD - TO SECURE ANOTHER HOUSE ROOF. LOOOOOOL
She called him President Trump repeatedly. MSNBC is rotting before our eyes.
@@Bountiful_Eventsif this is what you really think, then you don’t know Evy very well.
The Secret Service Director needs to be criminally charged with negligent homicide and attempted murder. Because of her gross negligence one person was killed and a Former President was almost murdered.
I love how they are no longer calling him the Former President,and now just calling him,,The President!😆
Local police were in that area. Talk to the witness who noticed a man scaling the roof and alerted police. Both local police and secret service were absolutely incompetent. No room for a margin of error in these situations. This was an absolute disgrace and cost an innocent man his life.
That man's family probably needs to sue.
It seems that the immediate cause was a lousy coordination and communication between local police and the SS
the root cause is falling straight on the head of the Secret service , all of this was totally predictable .
@avalondreaming1433 absolutely
They were trying to get Trump removed.. they didnt expect the guy to miss
They knew he was there for 26 minutes.
All this lady is doing is making excuses for the Secret Service. The opposite of "scrutinizing" as the title says.
Maybe it's in the contract to not speak badly of them,??...
Listen to Savannah: 'everything is 20/20 I'm hindsight' - ridiculous. And still criticizing Trump for 'sticking his neck out'.
As a woman I’m mortified at all 3 of their actions. How can a 5’2” woman protect a 6’2” man. Then, she bends down to pick up his hate leaving him open for another shot ? Epic fail.
@@bobbicattEpic fail that you're mortified by 3 actions but name 2. Can Maga only count to 2?
And if Trump had been crouching as he was supposed to do, the 6 for man would have been fine (you don't count the lifts in his shoes).
It’s because she is also a DEI hire, her angle will be to deflect the DEI AGENDA WITHIN THE S.S.
All surrounding elevated spots not covered.
The outer perimeter left to state police was only 150 yards!!
Im a outdoorsman. 150 yds is point blank range for a rifle.
We “sight in” at this distance. Meaning 150 yards is where we START the process of getting the rifle to hit out to anywhere from 500-1000 yards!
The distance the gunman was is literally a chip shot! It’s literally putting range to the hole.
My wife and daughter can hit softballs out to 500 and we are not gun fanatics by any means.
Luckily the gunman was inexperienced with truly being accurate and that the president was moving his head, it seems the gunman was also hurried by the cop who found him but retreated and the screaming eye witnesses most likely put him under pressure for a hurried discharge.
The big question is how he was allowed to get there and why the defensive perimeter was so small and uncovered to begin with.
GOD bless all those involved in this tragedy and GOD bless America!
Pray unceasingly!
Former SS agent: "Before that , we see everything there is pefect.....now we know there is a security breach after that fail attempt." 😵💫😵💫
Did the secret service really scream Donald... Duck!!
Lolzzz
I’m glad this chick is a FORMER agent. Seems to be making a way too many excuses for agents getting outsmarted by a kid.
Scary that she got promoted to choose who to hire though.
She mentioned how that roof could have people on it, implying it doesn't need to rather than it should have. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out, especially with the training they must have had.
Excuses will not save VVIP despite being appointed as security.
Wom3n....
Wom3n...
150 yards were too hard to secure.
Who can believe a 20 year old with a ladder can pass all the security. More when civilians screamed for help, more than 2 minutes, and no one did anything. Honestly, it's very hard to believe. They really think people are stupid.
He was OUTSIDE THE VENUE. 🙄How many times….?! He lived half a mile up the road - this is his doorstep.
The Trump campaign chose a wholly indefensible venue: the stage had dozens of buildings overlooking it within 500 yards on three sides. A good few are private homes. Not-Yet-Presidential-Candidate Private Citizen Trump - or his campaign - had no right putting people on random people’s roofs, although with 125 million in their campaign fund, they could at least have put up a drone or two.
Neither is Citizen Trump’s event-security the responsibility of the taxpayer (local or federal) , at least not until he becomes an official candidate. Compared to that of other ex presidents, his personal security detail was already gargantuan. Why should they be further stretched to become venue/event security - and outside the event perimeter, too?
His campaign has been going for two full years. Literally hundreds of events. That’s his choice: why should the public cater to his delusions of grandeur as though he were still a president?
Haven't you seen those videos that a ladder can get you in anywhere?
A guy with a ladder and a rifle
where did he get the ladder lol ... sounds like stuff was preped for him?
no ladder was used. the a/c unit and its ducts are huge; he used them to start climbing to the rooftop.
I'm an Independent Latino. Secret Service should conceder to hire Evy Poumpouras, a former Secret Service agent to train directors and agents. Also, PBD and Vinny would be candidates. Because this current director just made a mockery to us women in the eyes of men and the world. 🙄
Secret Service is full of DEI hires now..every one of them should be ashamed of putting their egos and self interest before the protectees, endangering their teams and embarrassing America by taking the places of more merited and more competent men..
This sole purpose of this interview was to blame the local police and to take the heat off the secret service
What about the witnesses yelling at law enforcement about the guy at the roof…??????????????????
🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
YES YES YES THAT IS RIGHT. the lady is not well informed or maybe she forgot it is scary who do we trust
Law enf failed or neglected
She’s avoiding saying that SS blew it or planted it. It’s not funds ffs… billions sent to Ukraine. There’s money.
Let the witnesses come out telling the truths!
Those people were yelling that there was a guy on the roof with a gun. It wasn't just one person trying to get the attention of law enforcement.
Precisely
For around 3 minutes per the statement of the one guy the BBC interviewed
Yeah it was a whole group of people.

People at the rally were yelling and pointing to police that there was a guy on a roof with a RIFLE!!!
I see that also and the man who was telling the cops a man with a gun on the roof said the cops did nothing!

This woman can talk logistics all she wants, but the fact remains.. 150 yards away a building was not secure!! HOW???
Get this, in the last few hours it’s come out that the building was a literal staging area for tactical police units and they were inside the building. How did these cops inside the building not notice this kid approaching the building let alone getting on the roof?

exactly as i say, all the mainstream media bs experts bare nopn of that, they are diversity hired, not expert they have no merit
They call her a expert but all I hear is someone making excuses for the government issued security service.

" Two man team" she says? How bout NO MAN team...."Resources" she says..

They have 1000 criminally negligent "mistakes" made and they try to find fault with Trump,?! His acttions were PERFECT and its not like they didn't just prove themselves to be less than competent...That's when a man a leader SHOULD TAKE OVER...assert dominance/ assume command
America is turning into a joke.
Should this woman be allowed to speak about something she was not involved in. Former agent? What does this say? This is too serious for people not involved.
dude, just Google her😂 Evy Poumpuras, 12 years in secret service, served 3 presidents, Clinton, Bush and Obama, first responder on 911 and a USSS Valor award..
Either this was staged or this was a government hit. As an Army Infantry veteran, I can tell you there is no way that a man should be able to scale a building 130 yards from the President of the United States of America while some of the best snipers in the entire world are watching. The Secret Service goes ahead of time to check the entire area and all of possible sniper locations and they have closed people in the crowd. There were witnesses who were literally screaming to law enforcement that a man with a gun was laying there, and they did nothing.
Trump isn’t the President, he’s a former President. Trump is notorious for not paying for the venues he does his speeches at, nor does he pay for the police that are obligated to provide security at his rallies. On the other hand, what we see is either the height of incompetence and/or collusion. The only question I have is how did the SS agent we hear in the open mic know that all threats had been neutralized only seconds after the shooting stopped? He couldn’t, he had to be incompetent or in collusion because we see no one securing the perimeter and clearing the area while looking for other threats. The audience is milling around. Trump has time to be theatrical without the people charged with protecting him actually protecting him. Incompetence and/or collusion.
I totally agree
I think you're right!
This was not the President of the US. So it explains the lax security seen here.
As a former Army sniper... I called BS on this from the first seconds after hearing "thier response."
Now we know we can't trust the Secret Service for protection
Anyone’s loyalty can be bought, and anyone can be gotten to, so says Hollywood movies.
Downsize the incompetent us military
We as Americans shouldn't trust anyone from DOJ FBI IRS and the SS they are all in the club we aren't..... They protect and serve those who pay them more simple as that and we see it daily
*Why the Trump Campaign Won't Pay Police Bills*
June 13, 2019
In all, city governments say Trump's campaign owes them at least $841,219.
Must Trump pay?
At least nine other city governments - from Mesa, Arizona, to Erie, Pennsylvania - are still waiting for Trump to pay public safety-related invoices they've sent his presidential campaign committee in connection with his political rallies, according to interviews with local officials and municipal records obtained by the Center for Public Integrity.
Some invoices are three years old.
just ask JFK !
Deflect & keep trying to cover your rear ends! I saw that the agents did not jump immediately to Trumps aid, and I was shaking my head in disbelief! Too many balls were dropped & I'm happy & relieved that he is alive and well!
Savana is a joke. She needs to go cover a cute animal story 😂
This was a MASSIVE breach/lapse in security by SS
INTENTIONAL, PAID TO BETRAY USA🪃

If I'm not mistaken, officials brushed it off when one person from the rally crowd informed them that they saw a person with a gun. She can't say there wasn't enough resources for 360 degrees coverage. I am hearing excuses since their competency is being questioned.
It wasn’t just one person. There were multiple. And all of those people informed those near to them. I’m certain there were at least a dozen people trying to get security’s attention. Which makes it worse.

As a professional drone pilot for "a government agency" in a security and emergency response role, why in the heck didn't they have any drone assets in the air as an "early warning" system?
they had them; but used them after the fact.
No one will ever convince me the Secret Service wasn't grossly incompetent, or complicit
I mean they already pulled quite a number on another famously "protected" president
I bet Obama and Clinton get better protection.
So the courtesy personal-security detail given to ex-presidents to guard them in their private life as private citizens is now expected to be offsite event security for Private Citizen Trump’s perpetual grifting events?! Even when his $125 million campaign choose a ludicrously indefensible open air site, overlooked by dozens of private properties? TRUMP WAS NOT EVEN AN OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER YET. His sole entitlement to a security detail is a courtesy to an ex-president, one he has disgracefuly exploited and abused.
The SS bodyguard detail is gargantuan compared to that of other ex-presidents. Their job is not first-line Trump Inc event security - still less offsite.
And it’s not the responsibility or skillset of local rural cops either. They are trained and funded to serve their community's interests, they are not the flunkeys of visiting has-beens who have no official status.
The “expert” didn’t even answer the first “yes or no” question. Dodging much? Sounds like she’ll make 13 excuses for the failure to protect, including throwing blame on other agencies.
Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies
Sorry but there is no excuse. Several people saw the man come out of the woods, climb the building using a ladder next to it and then bear crawl up the roof. All of this without any law enforcement or SS seeing any of it. This is very suspect.
do you think he was allowed access to perform that task?
@@jimskeuh he was outside the protected area so not allowed in technically…but it’s strange that the protected perimeter excluded a direct open to Trump rooftop. There was also a ladder found next to the building. How did that happen? It’s all just not how the SS normally operate.
thank god trump has his SS officers with him
This lady was TERRIBLE. Gave away all the security protocols for the next attempt but evaded answering why the roof top wasn’t secured!
@@Weirddos18 he was the suspect yes

A 20-year-old with no training could not pull this off alone.
EXACTLY!!!
You should really study history. You'd be amazed what people have pulled off alone. Conspiracy theorists think our world functions like a Swiss watch, when in reality it's all just human beings doing the best they can.
@@schm147 sure there is about a 1 in 50,000 chance that he could have got extremely lucky on a first try without any experience, and with security on all sides and in clear view of the public and snipers....but I think those odds are small enough to pretty much dismiss this possibility.
He didn't pull off anything in the end.
they almost did, your incredulity notwithstanding
I am not a trump supporter but that made me emotional and angry!!! This is crazy and unacceptable!!!!!!!
I am a trump supporter. But you are correct. Whichever side this did or could have happened to is sickening. To take a persons life because of different views is sick. Red or blue we can all agree it’s not ok. If you believe it is ok, then you are the problem. I appreciate you! ❤
So, when you'll switch to the righteous side a d become a trump supporter. That legendary first picture is enough for you to emotionally understand that you're on the wrong side. Respectfully, your opinions and political views are yours and they're your rights and you are entitled to you political views and inclinations but I'm asking to think little bit more about what's best is for this country and what this country will change back and be loved not only hated and negatively viewed by the rest of the world.

she's being pretty transparent. its not shifting blame it's segregation of duty. Everyone's blaming SS for not doing a better job but people are also hypercritical on government spending.

@@magnusdunning6113 ok well make your case. what part is actually re-directing blame?
If your premise is that any fault is immediately SS fault then I can't argue with that logic. It's flawed because that's not how it works but ok I can understand why people would be emotionally driven to think that way.
Keep in mind I'm in no way saying the SS is faultless here only that "shifting blame" at this point in time appears to be an unfair statement with heavy bias against the SS. The police are at fault here too both teams fkt up.
