"Is it acceptable that you have still not heard... from the Secret Service director?"
"Oh, I've heard from him!"
The Secret Service director is a woman.
I used to work in military intelligence. My take on the Trump assassination attempt today:
The guilty parties are definitely (1) the counter-sniper(s) and spotter(s) assigned to cover these specific rooftops and (2) the team leader responsible for all event pre-planning and assigning lines of sight
There is a 0% chance that a standard sniper-spotter team tasked with covering such a critical direct LOS rooftop did not spot a man crawling for over two minutes on an exposed rooftop with a rifle. The shooter's approach was amateurish; it wouldn't even pass basic training. He was fully exposed, easily visible to the public, on a critical rooftop, and extremely slow
Drone surveillance is also standard procedure. Added to this, you have members of the public pointing out the shooter. The only reason not to spot this shooter is that it was willfully ignored by the assigned counter-sniper/spotter, or a portion of the total area to be covered was deliberately excluded by the event team leader, or sniper/spotters were misdirected
Wilful allowance is much more likely. From the video footage and the audible gunfire, it also appears that the designated counter-sniper had the shooter in his LOS but specifically waited until the first few shots were fired before neutralizing him. It was sheer luck that the shooter missed. Civilian incompetence is always the risk when passive facilitation is chosen
TLDR: The shooter was allowed to do it. Inside job
They’re saying on Newsmax that Trump may have been hit by shrapnel from the Teleprompter. But re-watching the video, looks like the Teleprompters on both sides don’t appear to be hit.
DEVELOPING…Shooter found dead on rooftop with vantage point to stage.
Secret Service tasks counter assault teams to cover ALL vantage points — rooftops most obvious.
Counter assault teams are outsourced professionals. Unlikely they make these mistakes, even “B” team tasked to cover Trump.
Glaring error or intentional overlook. Confirmed with former CA team organizer and trainer.
While massive errors are possible, plausible intentional overlook of rooftop is more likely with CA team assignments given by SS. Who makes those possible? Deep State Intel Community?

BREAKING: Arizona Republican Party chair Jeff DeWit caught on secret recording trying to bribe Kari Lake not to run for the Senate.
Holy s***!
"There are very powerful people who want to keep you out," he said.
At one point during the secret recording, Lake was asked to name her "number."
DeWit: "Just say, is there a number at which..."
Lake: "I can be bought? That's what it's about."
DeWit: "You can take a pause for a couple of years. You can go right back to what you're doing."
Lake: "This is not about money, it's about our country."
WOW. 🔥
@MattWallace888@bennyjohnson How about just not include video at all if there is no video of the actual incident instead of some lame side note that this isn’t the actual video?! Ridiculous 🙄
