Today, as promised, Larry Johnson presented an interview with Larry Cunningham. Cunningham served twenty years with Secret Service as an agent, in the training division, and as a supervisor responsible for safeguarding Ronald Reagan—he headed up the Reagan detail one year after John Hinkley tried to kill Reagan. As you’ll hear on the video, Cunningham has continued working in the field of personal protection security work since retiring, working with foreign governments and with high profile individuals (Oprah, Michael Jordan, JP2, etc.). In other words, he has a world of experience—forty years of it.
LJ identifies 6 issues of special concern with regard to the attempted assassination of Trump. All are discussed in detail in the video. He also addresses the issue of the “second shooter” at some length. As readers will know, I’ve been concerned about that kind of speculation. I’ll quote LJ, starting with the sixth issue, as he addresses that “second shooter” chatter—but there’s more discussion in the video:
Sixth, Crooks was identified as a person of concern at least 45 minutes before Donald Trump took the stage. Secret Service failed to keep Trump in a secure location until the nature of the threat posed by Crooks was sorted out and neutralized.
I discuss all of these issues with Larry Cunningham. I know there is some speculation about a second shooter. I have one question for those pushing this story — why did the shooting stop when Crooks was killed? From the time that Crooks broke the first shot until the Secret Service counter sniper team killed Crooks, a total of six seconds elapsed. Six seconds.
I have seen the video showing what sounds like one additional shot after Crooks was down. If verified, it still does not change the fundamental point — the second shooter, if he or she existed, did not pour fire on the pile of Secret Service Agents shielding Trump. A second shooter should have been pouring fire onto that point. At a minimum, the “second” shooter should have killed or wounded several Secret Service agents. That did not happen. We need a full accounting of the shots fired by the Secret Service counter sniper teams and, according to other sources, there was an additional counter sniper team comprised of State or Local officers. The shot could have come from them. I go with the facts — three wounded, one dead. That is four bullets.
This is simply true. Anyone firing 8-10 shots from a semi-automatic rifle into a densely packed mass of humanity could not help but hit more than 4 people. Think of various mass shootings, such as the Las Vegas shooting.
Follow the link and listen to the hour long discussion. It’s fascinating—and damning. Cunningham is low key but pulls no punches at all. He provides a professional perspective at the very highest level, starting with his simple statement that Secret Service had total responsibility for the rally and the security of Trump. No ifs, ands, or buts. Didn’t matter what other agencies were present, Secret Service is always in charge. By law.
First a link to the article (which has the video embedded):
ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL UPDATE ON THE FAILED TRUMP ASSASSINATION — WAS IT A SANCTIONED PLOT?
And here’s a separate link to the video:
The Secret Service Failed to Protect Donald Trump -- Incompetence or Sinister
The primary job of the Secret Service is to protect their client from being harmed. The Secret Service protects the President, other politicians, the Pope, and foreign dignitaries. The standard is the same. Trump was shot. The Secret Service failed. Why?
I do a virtual sit-down with an old friend, Larry Cunningham, who served at all levels in the Secret Service and developed Secret Service training protocols. Larry provides a detailed analysis of where the Secret Service failed.

I don't think I would waste time asking USSS Director Cheattle any questions. I'd simply pass a House resolution calling on her to resign or be fired, and then subpoena the Assistant or Deputy Director for Operations and ask about 1) all the things that went wrong on July 13, and 2) all the requests for additional resources made by the Trump detail and how those were responded to.
Cheattle is "Dead Woman Walking" whose only interest at this point is self-interest.
The Deputy has a career to try and salvage.

Many statements being made here and all over the web are predicated on assumptions - stated and unstated and other mechanisms for controlling the debate. These mind controlling techniques feed off our personal biases which we're all loaded with and they're different for all of us depending on where we've come from (TV, lived experiences, schooling ...). The result is mass confusion, debate, heated argument, division and chaos. For those of us who reject the spiritual dimension there is no alternative than to peer into the chaos and pin our hopes on one side or another. For the others amongst us, we have the advantage of an additional layer of analysis and can go back to first principles. When asking the ultimate cui bono? the answer is clear. The Adversay. John 10:10 tells us the objectives of the Adversary: Steal. Kill. Destroy. So who's winning here? The answer is clear. The Adversary and those with allegiance to him or compromised by him. Fortunately we here don't have to find ourselves stuck pinning our hopes on a human solution that can only ultimately disappoint. Trust in Him who has the final say.
