Director Rowe Personally Crippled Trump's Secret Service Team - David Strom

...The Secret Service is now stonewalling and has put the very man whose job it was to oversee security in charge of the investigation, and he has been lying to Congress.

...For weeks, I wanted to believe that massive incompetence led to the events in Butler. 

I really did because the alternative didn't bear thinking of...

That is Putin-level evil.
But consider the facts: the security "breakdowns" were so massive and implausible when combined that any large police force could have done a better job than the most elite protection unit in the world. 

• The shooter was identified, tracked, photographed, filmed on the roof, 
• the Secret Service was warned multiple times, 
• the shooter was in the line of sight of the snipers, and 
• Trump was trotted out onto the stage and kept there as the shooter was lining up his shot in full view of the Secret Service snipers.

None of that is disputable...
