Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Secret Service's Performance Was Worse Than We SuspectedHappy Preekend! Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics:Apparently Trump is assigned no more Secret Service agents than ex-presidents like Clinton and Obama are -- despite the fact that he is the leading candidate to become president again, and has more threats against him than anyone else in the world. The Secret Service won't say if their sniper was greenlighted to take out the assassin, or who made that decision. Which tells me that they did not greenlight the sniper, and they want to hide who was responsible for this. As usual. Does that sound like BS to you? Well good, because it is: This rule may make sense at the White House. The White House is well-protected, and if someone is hanging out by the fence with a weapon, you can just tell the president to remain in interior rooms without windows. Or, if it's a serious threat, go to the bunker. Point is, you don't have to kill someone who's at the White House fence. The chances they could hurt the president are very low. But when the president is outdoors and the shooter is a Pass, Punt, and Kick away from the president? Then you do have to kill him. But the Secret Service won't say what orders they gave. Because they were lethally-incompetent orders. ... One of the Secret Service sources told RCP that a paper trail likely exists about how many counter snipers and special agents the agency advance team, which plots out detailed security plans for events ahead of time, requested. The lead advance agent usually submits a manpower request to headquarters, which includes the number of counter snipers, post-standers, and magnetometers needed for a particular event. "We always make sure that our requests are in writing so we would have a paper trail in case of the present scenario we have in Butler," the source said. But the same source complained that there was always "a do-more-with-less mentality." .... Warning signs about the Secret Service emerged months before the attempted assassination attempt against Trump. Earlier this year, the agency came under scrutiny for its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies after a female agent's apparent mental breakdown and physical attack on her superiors at Joint Base Andrews in April.Crabtree also relays this: The Secret Service agents are fighting back against the claim that they were assigned to guard the roof, but abandoned their posts, because it was "too hot." They say no one was ever assigned to guard the roof, period. Susan Crabtree The House voted unanimously to impanel a task force to investigate the Secret Service's criminal incompetence. This isn't over just because Cheatle was forced out, say Republicans. Crabtree makes still more news: The "site agent" responsible for spotting likely sniper's nests and lines of fire? An "inexperienced woman." Susan CrabtreeInstead of an "inexperienced woman" checking lines of fire, how about hiring a man? Not just any man -- how about a man who spent years in the military as a sniper and counter-sniper, who would therefore be able to look at a field and say, "If I were going to shoot someone, I'd hide myself right on that roof"? Women do not serve as snipers in the military, ergo, it would be discrimination to require actual experience as a sniper or counter-sniper to serve as site agent. So instead Buffy was tasked with giving the site a once-over and making her decisions based on "vibes."

It seems to sound like the officer who was supposed to be on the roof had come down because it was hot up there and to look for a suspicious character (Crooks) seen near the building, whereupon Crooks used a ladder he brought with him to go up to an empty roof.
From there, I surmise that the rest of the security staff (drawn from multiple organizations) probably thought Crooks was the person assigned to cover the roof (explains why nobody got concerned that people were pointing to a guy on the roof and the reaction of the sharpshooter visible behind Trump) ... until he started shooting at the stage where Trump was speaking. new video shows officer counting 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 casings near the body Posted by: SMOD at July 26, 2024 01:08 PM (RHGPo) 12

So we can blame women, and there are women snipers by the way, or we can blame dumb people. Because I am a woman. I have never served in the military, I have never been a cop, and while I have been around a lot of guns, I am probably the least experienced with them on this site. With all of that, I promise you, I would know to secure roof tops. Why? Because I am not stupid.

There's this nebbish-looking old guy who sits on the corner around from my apartment selling "Biden-Harris" pins and bumper stickers, etc. He's got a big table set up festooned with "Vote Biden" campaign dogshit.
I know nothing about him, but given the location (upper west side) and his appearance I'd say he's a leftwing Jew. Possibly a homo. Maybe even probably a homo. Anyway: yesterday I noticed that he had hastily covered up all the mentions of Biden and replaced them with Harris. He just covered them up. Total half-ass job. I had to laugh. Last week, he was all in for Biden. Now he's all-in for the whore. If the whore drops out, he's all-in for whoever else it may be. Posted by: Elric Blade at July 26, 2024 01:10 PM (iFTx/) 22

Barely minutes elapsed between the breaking news that Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle had resigned in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and a leading lawmaker promising that her departure would have no impact on investigating the incident. She should be tried, convicted and hanged for treason. But, she resigned and will face NOTHING a-la Lois Lerner. We're so incredibly f*cked, it's no longer entertaining.

This all goes back to Cheatle. Cheatle micro managed the security arrangements and was also called for permission to engage the person who shot at PDT. Cheatle either didn't get the call, ignored the agent or dismissed any concerns presented by the inexperienced agent.

The assassin fire at least eight aimed rounds from his rifle. Wray, in his testimony, said the assassin "probably" had a rifle scop attached to his weapon. We were told that 50 cartridges were purchased with 24 hours of the shooting, but there's no confirmation I've read that ammunition from that purchase matched the cartridge casings found on or near the roof. The assassin also purchased a 5'5" ladder around the same time as the ammo, but does that description match the ladder found at the shooting site?

I don't know what techniques, if any, the SS uses to foil such attempts, but it seems like that's a gaping security hole. Posted by: Archimedes at July 26, 2024 01:23 PM (xCA6C) 86

And I'd like to hear more about the FBI's "hypothesis" that when the assassin flew his drone just hours before the rally, he "livestreamed' the drone camera's footage. Was the livestreaming restricted to his phone/tablet, or was it also streamed to a private streaming service?

... From there, I surmise that the rest of the security staff (drawn from multiple organizations) probably thought Crooks was the person assigned to cover the roof (explains why nobody got concerned that people were pointing to a guy on the roof and the reaction of the sharpshooter visible behind Trump) ... until he started shooting at the stage where Trump was speaking.

I'm not sure what that means, but any picture I've seen shows him kind of slithering up on his belly. If he was with law enforcement, he would have just been walking around upright. That's not to say the mistake might not have been made - I'm just saying that IF it was made, it wasn't made by anybody actually looking at him. Besides his positioning, he also had long hair, and no uniform - just some sort of T-shirt. Nobody LOOKING at him would mistake him for law enforcement.

Why were chubby, short, middle-aged, unattractive, uncoordinated stumblebums chosen instead? It had to be deliberate. See my comment above about them wanting Trump dead.

They are really, really butthurt that Trump didn't go with their decades-long formula for failure: Pick a moderate VP. If there is one thing that would guarantee a Trump loss, it's dumping Vance.

72 The assassin fire at least eight aimed rounds from his rifle. Wray, in his testimony, said the assassin "probably" had a rifle scop attached to his weapon. We were told that 50 cartridges were purchased with 24 hours of the shooting, but there's no confirmation I've read that ammunition from that purchase matched the cartridge casings found on or near the roof. The assassin also purchased a 5'5" ladder around the same time as the ammo, but does that description match the ladder found at the shooting site?
Posted by: mrp at July 26, 2024 01:21 PM (rj6Yv) ———— You know something is up when they won’t even show a photo of the weapon. Wray was extremely loose in his testimony related to the gun. One asked him about the ballistic matching, “oh ATF handles that” as if he was talking about passing the mash potatoes around at dinner. Not to mention I’m sure the FBI has its own labs for weapon testing. Ultimately he didn’t answer the question. So no confirmation that the shells matched matches the weapon.

Listening to Bongino this morning he put the offer out to consult on security for Trump. I am going to predict that Trump does bring in a private security element. Now I am going to pick on an ette. I will preface it with ,like all of the ettes here, you are a sweetheart and I greatly appreciate your presence here. In regards to the ability to protect Trump, in the context of event security, the SS or the US Marshalls do not have any special rules which allow them to use deadly force that a private team would not have. Whether Fed or private, they are held to protocols whose foundation is codified.

new video shows officer counting 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 casings near the body Posted by: SMOD at July 26, 2024 01:08 PM (RHGPo) I'd be interested to see that video. It seems very clear to me right now that the first three shots occurred within about two seconds, and were all from the 20-yr-old shooter. The first shot is the one that hit Trump, and apparently it went on to injure someone else too, further away from the shooter than Trump. I'd guess the next shot was in the same basic direction, hitting the guy next to the first spectator hit. By the third shot, Trump was ducking down. The shooter apparently aimed lower because of that, and hit the retired fireman, who was closer to the shooter than Trump. All the victims were along a straight line that leads straight beck to where the shooter was positioned. So a decent theory that there would have been a second shooter, who was a pro sniper, isn't supported by the facts. Posted by: MrExcitement at July 26, 2024 01:37 PM (hOOi9) 179

There are two pieces to this story, but each piece is being reported separately.
1) Security failure 2) Crooks actions, equipment, and capabilities What is not being discussed, and I suspect on purpose, is how you ended up with a perfect storm of a massive security failure leading up to and during the event at the SAME TIME that a shooter with unexplained skills and capabilities shows up to assassinate Trump. The odds of these two things happening at the same time as random chance are much lower than it being intentional. And I keep coming back to the woman behind the president filming who looks a lot like one of the higher up in the FBI. We are not going to get answers until the Trump administration can do it's own investigation. Which in and off itself tells you it was intentional.

And not just the hard left, but every NeverTrump that they can find is getting quoted.
They are really, really butthurt that Trump didn't go with their decades-long formula for failure: Pick a moderate VP. If there is one thing that would guarantee a Trump loss, it's dumping Vance. Which is why they are pushing it so hard. The same FUD spreaders that swore-- even swaying many here-- that Trump was going to pick Nikki. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice ====== It kills the assassination subplot by the NT'ers.

new video shows officer counting 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 casings near the body Posted by: SMOD at July 26, 2024 01:08 PM (RHGPo) I'd be interested to see that video (continued). The remaining questions about the shots fired are regarding the subsequent shots, after the first 3. They sound different from the first 3, but audio analysis seems to be telling us that the first 2 originated at the same distance as the shooter. Was it a second volley, from the shooter, and didn't hit anybody? That video might indicate "yes". There was also a witness who said the shooter made 5 shots. OTOH, there were supposedly law enforcement in the building complex, and if they stuck their heads out the window (which they would have) maybe they took a couple of shots at the shooter. There were at least a couple more shots before the one that took out the shooter. Audio analysis says the first of those 800 feet away, which is how far away the water tower was. That would seem a logical place for a counter-sniper, and supposedly many (unnamed) witnesses saw shots from there. The next shot seems to have been from almost twice a far away. Perhaps a counter-sniper on a building at a distance. Posted by: MrExcitement at July 26, 2024 01:45 PM (hOOi9) 226

Maybe he just left it in the car when he first bought it. I dunno. I've been known to just drop a receipt into the space beneath the middle dash and leave it there for a few weeks.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, riding the anarchy train with John Landis at July 26, 2024 01:35 PM (GBKbO) I was just re-reading accounts of the shooting. The ladder receipt was "bloodied". It was in the personal possession of the assassin on the roof. Posted by: mrp at July 26, 2024 01:47 PM (rj6Yv) 239
The reason that evidence is not being discussed is because there are too many cellphones with cameras anymore. They can't tell a story and then have it disproved within an hour with video evidence.
They need to see all of the witness evidence before they come up with a story that fits it all. Posted by: Thomas Paine at July 26, 2024 01:47 PM (lTGtQ) 240
What is not being discussed, and I suspect on purpose, is how you ended up with a perfect storm of a massive security failure leading up to and during the event at the SAME TIME that a shooter with unexplained skills and capabilities shows up to assassinate Trump

It's not a "pretty odd detail". You've never thrown the receipt in the center console when you get into the car after shopping?
Posted by: Chuck C at July 26, 2024 *** Heck no. If it was a credit card receipt, I keep it at home until the card statement/bill comes, to check. If it was a big item, I keep it until I'm sure the purchase has worked out. If it was a check or debit pay, I hang on to it until the bank statement comes. If it was a cash buy for something small, say at Dollar Tree, I leave it in one of the bags and toss it after I get home. This way, no clutter in the car.

new video shows officer counting 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 casings near the body Posted by: SMOD at July 26, 2024 01:08 PM (RHGPo) I'd be interested to see that video (last part). The security authorities might be trying to hide information just because they don't want a potential adversary to know what they might be up against. The FBI Director said that there were "8 cartridges" found at the shooter, but casings are what matters. Probably he wanted us to think he misspoke, and think all 8 shots were from the shooter. This video (which I haven't seen) says 5 actual casings. That would mean 5 shots by the shooter. Is it for-real, or fake? Are they just trying to hide the embarrassment of the shooter being positioned right under their noses? How could the shooter not hit SOMEBODY, with more shots?

Anton Cermak aka "Tony" was wounded by the would-be then president-elect FDR in Florida.
He died after two weeks, about halfway through the trial. They switched midstream into a murder trial, and convicted him. Total elapsed time from assassination attempt on FDR and killing Tony Cermak, to the conviction and execution of the gun man? I think it was 32 days, total. They don't even bother with press conferences any longer apparently Posted by: Common Tater at July 26, 2024 02:00 PM (ylQTz) 323

Paul Fussell, I think it was in his book Wartime and the inter-war transition of Washington from a sleepy little southern town where the sidewalks were rolled up at night, to this .... thing, mentioned that it was routine for summer thunderstorms to roll through DC.
The White House was perfect to drive your car up to, underneath the Portico and get out of the rain for 15 or 20 minutes. Nobody cared, nobody tried to blow up the White House or break-in and attack anybody. Now they have barriers around it, and fences and surveillance and snipers on the roof and guys with Stingers, iirc. One of the big, glaring humongous outright BS lies was when Condoleeza Rice claimed "nobody saw this coming, people flying planes into buildings". They knew, this was an open secret in DC and scared the shit out of everybody since about 1985 or before. Each incident, and the one like in Butler, Penn., just means an already aloof and isolated government becomes even more isolated. Posted by: Common Tater at July 26, 2024 02:09 PM (ylQTz) 356

Judy Tyler might have been one of the most beautiful and talented ladies that was an Elvis co-star. She had been in a very successful Broadway play, was cast in Jailhouse Rock, one of the best Presley movies. She signed to do Broadway again, had some time to kill until it started. She and her husband bought a new car in California and started driving East. They were killed in a traffic accident on the way. I think she was 26 or 27. She might have become a huge star.

What is not being discussed, and I suspect on purpose, is how you ended up with a perfect storm of a massive security failure leading up to and during the event at the SAME TIME that a shooter with unexplained skills and capabilities shows up to assassinate Trump. The odds of these two things happening at the same time as random chance are much lower than it being intentional. And I keep coming back to the woman behind the president filming who looks a lot like one of the higher up in the FBI. ... Posted by: Dave in Fla at July 26, 2024 01:42 PM (5p7BC) On the one hand, you could say that the shooter spotted the opportunity when the guard on the roof left; so not really a coincidence. On the other hand, the path for the shooter was magically cleared right in front of him, right under security's noses. The shooter seemed to have a number of options he could have gone with, considering the detonator he had on him. As far as his "skills", I hear that it was a pretty easy shot, and he had practiced shooting on a regular basis. Posted by: MrExcitement at July 26, 2024 02:35 PM (hOOi9) 393

Posted by: Sock Monkey * Atavistic at July 26, 2024 01:46 PM (GVv8N) I saw a photo (taken from the air) of the building, and there was very clearly a ladder there. It went up to that corridor-like structure that connects that building to the next. It was behind tree or shrubs. Once on top of that "corridor", the roof was only a foot or two higher. Other people trying to access the roof would not necessarily have been able to see that ladder. Posted by: MrExcitement at July 26, 2024 02:41 PM (hOOi9) 394
