Here’s Susan Crabtree’s thread unroll. If you follow the link she has screenshots of key pages from the executive summary. Some of these findings by Johnson can only be described as pretty wild.
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Ron Johnson and his staff have written an initial report from his bipartisan investigation informed by whistleblowers who have talked to his office. I’ve obtained the 13-page executive summary of it. Some of this Sen. Johnson discussed with Fox News Morning with Maria this morning -- but here are all the details and the report itself.
Key findings:
1.) Secret Service did not attend a security briefing provided to local special weapons and tactics (SWAT) and sniper teams the morning of July 13, 2024. Why not?
--There was a 9 a.m. briefing on July 13, 2024, Butler County Emergency Services (Butler ESU) provided a security briefing for the local SWAT teams and snipers assigned to the rally. In addition to Butler County, local SWAT teams and snipers from Washington County and Beaver County were also tasked with security responsibilities.
2. Local law enforcement said communications were siloed and they were not in frequent radio contact directly with Secret Service.
3. Local law enforcement notified command about Crooks prior to the shooting and received confirmation that Secret Service was aware of the notification.
4. Following the shooting Secret Service was seen on the roof of the AGR building with local law enforcement; photos of the shooter were sent to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) for facial recognition.
5.) Secret Service was initially not going to send snipers to the rally, according to local law enforcement.
The screenshots of subsequent pages of the report will continue in linked tweets.
These findings will not satisfy any openminded person. Every effort appears to have been made to strip Trump of any effective protection. Clearly the way for any serious investigation to go is to lean heavily on the SS command center people and then try to work up the chain.
Malignant apathy at the very least. Rumours are that Slope Lady will resign tomorrow.
Even After the last 8 years it is still difficult to conceive of the level of corruption that it would take to set the stage for the assassination of the opposition leadership. Disbelief? Wishful thinking, hoping that it is not really that bad? It seems as if the abyss is staring at us. Better stare back.
