The Secret Service Story is Starting to Stink

It's beginning to look as if I was far too quick to give thanks that "The Secret Service is, apparently, not as corrupt as the FBI." We're now learning, among other things, that Trump's Secret Service detail was made up of second- and third-stringers, with more experienced agents having been pulled away to protect "Dr." Jill Biden, and that even the Secret Service director is a "DEI" hire, put in place under a doctrine that amounts to "Affirmative Action on steroids," replacing meritocracy with "Qualifications" based on identity politics.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, interviewed amid calls for her resignation, appears to be in full "CYA" mode in justifying her agency's failures.

Lots of information is now surfacing that points to negligence on the part of the Secret Service.

We are being told that a local Butler, PA, police officer confronted the sniper on the roof "Just seconds before" the sniper opened fire on President Trump.

We are being told that the sniper pointed his rifle at the officer, who "Retreated and fell," whereupon the sniper aimed his rifle back at the podium and began firing.

The UK's Daily Mail provides more details about just how long the authorities were aware of the gunman on the roof and about the rooftop confrontation with the local LEO. Meanwhile, a report tells how the Fraternal Order of Police is bristling over the Secret Service apparently blaming local police for the agency's own shortcomings.

We're being told that, even once the Secret Service snipers saw the gunman on the roof, they had to determine if he was a threat before deciding to open fire.
