New details about the assassination attempt on President Trump are coming fast.
Earlier this morning former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino gave his opinion about the Secret Service almost unfathomable drop in security protocol that allowed a gunman with a rifle to climb atop a building a mere 130 yards away from President Trump. Having some very specific insight into protection detail protocol, Bongino gives a unique perspective on what might have gone wrong.

The article (along with many others) states that the SS sniper killed the gunman. From the photo in the article, the snipers on the roof had the word POLICE on their shirts. That being said, has the woke director of the SS come out of hiding yet?

Those are some pretty large mags on the police sniper rifles, certainly not .223. Are they just .308 cal.? They look a bit large even to be .308, but I can't imagine that they'd be using .338s. Can anybody identify the rifles being used here?

I didn't think that further coverage would make the situation seem worse... but there it is... a cop approached him, had a gun pointed at him, and no whistle was blown/nothing immediately done.

Had there been a second shooter, Trump would be dead. They kept his head exposed for an easy shot.

I want to see a photo of the ladder leaning against the building. Crooks didn't fly or jump to access the roof so let's see the ladder he used. It should still be there, right? How it got there is a bigger problem.
And great catch, #5. They want us to believe that Crooks packed his car with explosives, a rifle, and a ladder. Then he parked ½ mile away from where Trump would be speaking, He carried his ladder and rifle ½ mile to a random building near where Trump would be. And he just coincidentally KNEW which roof would provide a clear shot??? Then he set up his ladder and carried his rifle up to the perfect spot? Uh uh. Nope. No way.

Bongino puts it out there in the video. Security failures at multiple levels. Intentional failures? Trump wasn't supposed to survive. Look for biden the cheater and the federal agencies and congress to go to Plan B which is to slow-walk their investigation and get this attempt on Trump's life out of the news cycle until after the election.

I have no doubt that there was a conspiracy among many to create
an opportunity to assassinate Trump. Consider that If Trump had been
sentenced on July11 then he most likely would not have been in PA or any campaign event.
But we all know that sentencing was postponed without reason.

Sundance is starting to run down his own rabbit hole, a departure from his past careful analytical looking at events. Much of what he is writing now is just overwrought and unproven conjecture and he is feeding his own conspiracy theories, not looking for facts.
And many "reporters" are filling in the blanks in their stories with ....what is just lies. Like the "and the officer ducked back down on the ladder".....reports are that there WAS NO LADDER and the officer climbed on another officer's shoulders, and when he had the gun pointed at him, and ducked (well duh!) he slipped and fell off the steep, slick metal roof. Misreporting and idiot "reporters" who "fill in the blanks" with conjecture....well, the cop climbed up to the roof, so he must have used a ladder, right? Or NOT.
Too much BS being slung around as fact and too much eagerness to assume malfeasance when mere error and incompetence can easily explain what has happened.
Remember there are 10,000 people who are making errors and incompetent for every genuinely malevolent person.

#2, I have read that the SS sniper were using 50 cal rifles, but can't find the reference.
#8, I'd propose that the Administration would like to keep the assassination attempt in the news only because it takes the focus off of Biden's dementia and other issues.

Re: #2 - I've seen Steyr and McMillan used by federal counter snipers, and the old government go-to rifle, the modified Remington 700, chambered in .300 Win Mag. The .308 (7.62 x 51 NATO) is the standard for civilian law enforcement.
