My question: in light of ALL the time AND warnings - why wasn’t Mr. Trump removed from the stage, or even better allowed on stage at all. WHO on scene allowed this to happen?

Institutional incompetence does NOT occur in a vacuum! In the very best-case scenario, DHS and SS and FBI and CIA, and on and on, viewed - and still view - Donald Trump as an untermensch. Vermin somehow not worthy of existence, and certainly not worthy of appropriate protection. Seriously folks, I thought we would have learned this history lesson by now. No benefit of the doubt!

It would be nice if a real investigative reporter looked into the Demolition Ranch connection. 11+ million subscribers. Was Crooks groomed by a 'stranger'? Of course, his account was immediately deleted. Was wearing the DR shirt a signal to others? BTW, I prefer aluminum over tinfoil as it conducts better. And I saw The Parallax View!

Congress denied access to crucial Trump protection plan screams 'cover your a-- mode': expert

Congress was denied access to the Ops Report, which details the protection plan for Trump rally

BUTLER, Pa. — Congress was denied access to the integral Ops Report that details the protection plan for former President Trump's rally, according to a lawmaker who was at Wednesday's FBI briefing and spoke to Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.

Paul Mauro, an attorney and retired NYPD inspector, said the Ops Report "should detail who was supposed to cover the area of the roof that (Thomas Matthew) Crooks fired from."

"If there was no Ops Plan done, or if it didn't cover that rooftop, whoever signed off on it failed badly," Mauro said.

The detailed, written plan was in the hands of the FBI as of Thursday afternoon, according to Mauro, who said the information came from a source "I absolutely, 100% trust." The FBI declined to comment.

Democrats use the term Democracy dies in darkness and then we have this:

"Congress was denied access to the Ops Report, which details the protection plan for Trump rally"

Just who is shrouding Democracy in darkness folks?

Existential threat to the country is Dem projection.

Not deliberate creation of a window of opportunity, masked as incompetence?

I’m leaning towards creation of a window of opportunity.

The hastily arranged Jill Biden and Kamala Harris events are coincidental?

Or perhaps from online monitoring somebody knew, or even coached (Whitmer kidnapping), this assassin would try on Saturday.

It’s very shocking to me I would even consider this as a possibility, but revelations on Seth Rich and Epstein are making me a lot more cynical. Plus some Kennedy assassination files are still being withheld.

I'll definitely concede that Occam/Hanley is reasonable to conclude, but the accumulation of major procedural SS screwups was akin to rolling multiple snake eyes. I mean, possible, I guess...but THEN to hope that some random shooter might show up to take advantage of that opportunity in exactly the right place at the right time sort of beggars the mind. But, possible, I guess.

Agree. The question immediately following that conclusion is how does some 20 yo loser become of aware of that window or was it just "luck?" Line to the rabbit hole forms to the left.

Some 20 year old with almost no social media presence and encrypted overseas accounts? They wouldn't put this storyline in a movie because it would be too unbelievable.

To me, this farcical, in-your-face incompetence, acted out by a bumbling bunch of Curly, Moe and Larry SS cut-outs, can only be a cover for malevolence.

Jeanette's avatar

The whole Biden administration is run this way, using incompetence as a cover for malevolence.
