The hilarious thing is: no one ever even claimed that this wasn’t some kind of intelligence operation. Immediately, the question was: “how is the CIA this incompetent?”
Of course, the Daily Stormer has forwarded the theory that it was a staged assassination hoax, and some intelligence agency faked it, presumably in order to increase support for Donald Trump.
Regardless: even of those who believed the CIA was so incompetent that they sent a patsy to do the job of a second and third shooter, no one believed that the Secret Service just accidentally left a hole for the shooter, because the roof was too slanted.
Whistleblowers are now confirming this.
Secret Service top brass encouraged agents not to request additional security for Donald Trump’s Butler, Pa. rally last month where a would-be assassin nearly killed the former president, according to a whistleblower.
The whistleblower allegations were revealed in a Friday letter from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe, in which the lawmaker demanded answers to Rowe’s “apparent contradiction” that no security assets were denied for the event.
“You must explain this apparent contradiction immediately,” the senator wrote.
The whistleblower claimed that the officials at Secret Service headquarters told agents in charge of the Butler campaign event to forgo asking for any additional security via a formal manpower request — which are typically made by lead advance agents ahead of trips and submitted to the local field office, in this case, Pittsburgh.
The request, which includes the number of personnel and other security assets, is submitted to the Secret Service’s Office of Protective Operations – Manpower for final review.
By allegedly informing agents not to ask for extra security in the formal request, the Secret Service was “effectively denying these assets through informal means,” Hawley (R-Mo.) claimed in the letter to Rowe.
Yeah, that checks out.
The Secret Service was clearly in on it.
Someone had to tell the snipers they were not allowed on that roof.
Even the local cops were telling them to cover that roof, and they refused.
