Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHmm, curious here. There is some screaming from the reichwing hysterics
that the incident on Sat. was FLOTUS' fault. According to the hysteria, the SS refused to allocate additional (don't forget, he HAS SS protection as a former occupant of the People's House) resources to TRAITOR** because Dr. Biden was also in PA.
Now, my question is, WHY did they suddenly feel the need for extra resources? What were they hearing? And, if they were, in fact, hearing things to cause them to feel the need for extra resources, why not cancel or reschedule? And, of course, if there WAS nothing being heard, then they are just creating bs out of thin air again.

(130,826 posts)Nobody is reassigned away from that detail to cover other events or protectees, as FLOTUS also has her own assigned detail. Local law enforcement handles security outside the perimeter of the rally area, and it's quite possible that it was their oversight, not the SecServ's, that made it possible for the shooter to reach the roof of the building - or poor communication between the two agencies, not a shortage of personnel.

I saw a brief news blurb from Sky News
Rooftop was identified as security concern in days before Trump rally - sources
By Sarah Fitzpatrick, Julia Ainsley, Mike Hixenbaugh, Andrea Mitchell and Jon Schuppe at NBC News
The rooftop used by a gunman to shoot at Donald Trump was identified as a potential security vulnerability in the days before the former president spoke at a rally, Sky's partner network NBC News is reporting.
Two sources have told NBC the rooftop was spotted as a potential weak point by the Secret Service, which protects American presidents and former presidents.
The building, owned by a glass research company, is adjacent to the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue in Butler, Pennsylvania.

(12,349 posts)Sorry about the source....
The U.S. Secret Service has denied diverting resources away from protecting former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally where he was the target of an assassination attempt, in order to protect first lady Jill Biden.
Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics reported on social media that unnamed sources told her resources were diverted away from Trump to protect the first lady, who was also campaigning in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
snip....
Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, responded to Crabtree's post, saying it was false.
"We did not divert resources from FPOTUS Trump & protection models don't work that way," Guglielmi wrote.

The ss snipers were looking at structures well beyond that zone, knowing Leo's had it covered
So what was butler pd's excuse?

(196,824 posts)There were plenty of resources at Trumps event. It was a cluster just like everything else associated with him. It was also their culture almost killing their hero.
