Wouldn't there be video footage of the building they can refer to? Every little thing is on security cams now? How can like the only other building in a field near the candidate not be under security? And, it is not like a ladder that size can be sneakily setup, this would be quite blatant. Not to mention the field is full of thousands of people recording everything on their cellular phones.

Looks like Republicans and Democrats are having a joint barbecue of Kimberly A. Cheatle, Secret Service director today. No surprise that there is a lot of self-interest in security issues, particularly of getting shot. Are they really doing it for the people? Umm,

Yes. I believe that they are. Both sides have a vested interest in the folks the USSS protects staying safe.

A week and a half later and no one seems to care about this anymore. The fake ear bandage has come off. We’ve moved on.

(Well, maybe Shrek is still crying in a corner somewhere).

I really do think it’s because the shooter was a white republican. Just took the wind out of MAGA’s sails.

i've heard about this, but this was a very hard image to find in spite of the notoriety

yes, the same agent who couldn't get her gun back in her holster ... is said to have declined to help protect Trump but instead ducked behind everybody else to save her own hide. If there is another explanation for this hard to find image, I don't have one

I suppose I am inclined to forgive the girl, I'd be scared too ... it's an instinctive reaction, but on the other hand training is supposed to kick in

No excuse. SS has all kinds of levels. To get to the level of watching a former POTUS and candidate that close you have to be the best of the best.

We have now seen what happens when DEI is used to hire agents instead of qualifications.
