As more and more information comes out about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, new-and ever-more concerning information-is being revealed that shines a harsh light on the Secret Service.
You don't have to be an expert to wonder, why was that rooftop not secured? But the news gets worse: turns out the Secret Service knew it was a vulnerability-yet inexplicably left it unprotected.
The rooftop where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally was identified by the Secret Service as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event, two sources familiar with the agency's operations told NBC News.
The Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with it, the sources said.
"Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof," said one of the sources, a former senior Secret Service agent who was familiar with the planning.
The Secret Service had designated that rooftop as being under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement, a common practice in securing outdoor rallies, Guglielmi said.
As my colleague Ward Clark writes, "The Biden-appointed Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly A. Cheatle, has made Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion a priority of the Service rather than just hiring the best, toughest, most dedicated, and, yes, best shots." Guess what, though-nobody cared what race or gender identity anyone was when the shots rang out.
