'Disturbing pattern' of Secret Service 'failures' exposed in new report on Trump's Butler assassination attempt

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] One year after President Donald Trump

...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
narrowly missed getting struck by a bullet at a campaign rally, a damning new report faults the Secret Service for a 'disturbing pattern of communication failures and negligence that culminated in a preventable tragedy.'

Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, on Sunday released the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee's final report from its investigation into the attempt on Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania.

It outlines what Paul called 'stunning failures by the United States Secret Service that allowed then-former President Donald J. Trump to be shot on July 13, 2024.

'The truth is, President Trump and the nation was fortunate,' Paul wrote of the shooting that took the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore and left two others maimed before a government sniper killed the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. 'The once-again president survived despite being shot in the head.

'Since that day, there has been another attempt on his life and further threats to do him harm, including most recently, a renewed threat from Iran.'

Paul added that the actions of the Secret Service that day were 'inexcusable and the consequences imposed for the failures do not reflect the severity of the situation' despite six agents being temporarily suspended.

Yet the report offers few new details about the liquidation attempt and largely echoes a preliminary report on the investigation put forward by then-committee chairman Sen. Gary Peters in September 2024.

Instead, it focuses on 10 different instances leading up to the Butler rally in which the Secret Service denied or left unfulfilled requests for additional resources to support the Trump campaign, including an enhanced counter-drone system, counter-assault personnel and counter snipers.

Let's see all the numerous "oversights".

Shooter arrives carrying weapons to a Political gathering.

Attendees see the shooter.

Shooter climbs on the roof.

Police are informed and finally respond after something like 10+ minutes.

Police radio channel monitored by the SS Command is lit up about a possible Roof shooter.

Responding police sneak a peep of a ARMED person and leave for safety.

More minutes pass (30+ mins) and the shooter, is now setup on the roof aiming in the podium direction.

The shooter, a 20 y/o Liberal Democrat, then shoots, kills or wounds people including the very near miss on Trump.

ONLY after the shooter has done his deed, was the sniper finally taken out by the SS Counter Sniper team.

BTW: Did they ever explain the $$$k the 20 y/o had in OFF SHORE Funds?

OBTW: Then there are those serious Kool-Aid drinkers (LSD's) reaching for anything to shift blame and trying to sell this as a Trump staged shooting.

#3 ...I don't doubt the courage and loyalty of individual agents...but as an agency, USSS has been hopelessly politicized for decades.

^#3 Agreed.
I knew a few of the Peanut Brigade back in the 80's.
They were Honest and dedicated.

But like you said, too many Fed Employees are too politically align, and not focused on their hired & assigned job duties.
