Trump Assassination Attempt: Secret Service Never Held Briefing With Pennsylvania SWAT Before Rally

Trump Assassination Attempt: Secret Service Never Held Briefing With Pennsylvania SWAT Before Rally

The two sides didn’t talk until after the shooting.

More questions than answers!

Pennsylvania SWAT officers told ABC News that Secret Service never held a face-to-face briefing with them before former President Donald Trump’s rally.

You know, the rally where Thomas Crooks shot Trump, killed Corey Comperatore, and injured James Copenhaver and David Dutch.

The two sides never talked until after the shooting.

Insanity:

It was a critical part of the planning and communications failures that ended with a gunman killing one man, critically injuring two more and wounding Trump as he delivered a speech just days before accepting the Republican presidential nomination.

“We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service members whenever they arrived, and that never happened,” said Jason Woods, lead sharpshooter on the SWAT team in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

“So I think that was probably a pivotal point, where I started thinking things were wrong because it never happened,” Woods said. “We had no communication.”

Woods expected more communication between them and the Secret Service.

I mean, who wouldn’t?

“I believe our team did everything humanly possible that day,” said Beaver County Chief Detective Patrick Young. “We talk a lot on SWAT that we as individuals mean nothing until we come together as a team.”

Deliberate negligence, make no mistake. A critical part of the planning and communications just not done. Are you kidding me? Are they that incompetent?

Sounds like a calculated combination of nonfeasance and malfeasance.

    After President Trump wins the election- he’s got to clean house top to bottom! He didn’t do that the last time and he paid dearly for that omission. He’s got to eliminate entire departments starting with Education. He’s got to eviscerate the DOJ, DOD, Homeland Security, the Secret Service and the FBI. If he doesn’t we will have four more years of the Clown Show.

      Starting on day one. A Herculean, Augean Stables-type cleansing/purge. Start with Christopher Wray at FBI, Gina Haspel at CIA, and probably 75% of the top brass at FBI, CIA, DoD and State Department — the miscreants who believe that their primary job is to engage in subversive, pro-Dhimmi-crat, anti-GOP/conservative, anti-U.S., pro-Hamas agitprop. Send them packing.

Just further evidence of the nation’s decline.

Because we’re the Pros from Dover, and we don’t bother with Town Clowns.

What the “local” SWAT team has learned, is that they need to deal with issues within their sphere of operations and not assume the US Secret Service gives a shit if there’s a young man walking around with a rangefinder, scoping out the stage and surrounding buildings.

Feds don’t play nice with local agencies. They tend to be arrogant and dismissive. Locals only exist so they’ll have someone to throw under the bus if things go bad.

I suspected strat away that day it wasn’t all USSS personal and they had to have Pa State or County help. Probably was the Feds looked down at Pa state and local law enforcement.
But we are seeing what became of that.

I suspect this is not an isolated incident. If you go back to previous Trump outdoor rallies held in the last few months and interview the officers *privately* without the big bosses looking over their shoulder, I would bet similar divisions of authority and communication failures existed, if not worse. Complacency is the enemy of competence. When “nothing ever happens here” is the norm, its easy to slack off. Until something happens.

Corey Comperatore wife and children should start at $1B, the injured men at least half that amount each.

Hopefully, names will be named and fired for their actions. (Myorkas)

The SS would have said the exact same thing is Pres. Trump was hit.

Don’t forget, the secret service has a long history of not being all that smart. Remember some of the bar stories of them leaving briefing papers, guns etc at bars around the world. Trying to pick up college girls and using the badge to look like “bahd” boys.
They do have good PR folks though.

So who was the DEI appointment in charge? Why is his/her name hidden?
