This Reuters headline was already remarkable but it still managed to bury the lede:

US Secret Service says it previously denied Trump
requests for additional resources, New York Times
reports
By Reuters
July 20, 2024

I will now repost the *entire* Reuters article about this massive scandal that should, in sane world, rock the federal government to its core. You ready? Here it is, the whole thing:

July 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. it Secret Service said it had turned down requests from Donald Trump's security
detail for additional resources in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination last week, the New
York Times reported on Saturday, citing a spokesman.
This is a reversal from earlier statements by the agency denying that such requests for the former president
and Republican presidential nominee had been rebuffed, the newspaper said.

That’s it! That’s the entire article. Not a single reaction quote from anybody. Nor any details, nothing about who said what, not even a snarky comment saying reporters tried to get a comment from anyone.

This is what passes for journalism in the age of corporate media.

The headline should have been something more like, “Secret Service LIED About Denying Trump More Protection.” Instead, the crack journalists at Reuters deployed the gentle euphemism, “this is a reversal from earlier statements by the agency.” ...

The New York Times’s article was a bit better. The Times, at least, reported the previous strong denials that, in Secretary Mayorkas’s own words, were “irresponsible” and “unequivocally false:”

"There's an untrue assertion that a member of the former
president's team requested additional resources and that those
were rebuffed," Anthony a Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret
Service, said last Sunday, the day after the shooting.
Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service, said on
Monday that the accusation that he had issued the denials y
baseless and irresponsible statement and it is one that is
unequivocally false."

But yesterday, under pressure, Secret Service Spokesman Guglielmi admitted that the “baseless” claims were not, after all, quite so baseless, nor were they exactly “irresponsible.” As it happens, President Trump has requested more security the entire time he’s been out of office...

Finally, to its credit, the Times article recapped the three biggest unanswered questions hanging over the rally field:

... The agency also faced questions as to why it had allowed Mr.
Trump to take the stage at the Butler Farm Show grounds, even
after receiving information that law enforcement was looking for
someone suspicious in the crowd.

So many questions! And so few answers.

Yesterday, video emerged of President Trump asking a delicate question of his own in an interview with Fox’s Jesse Waters: why didn’t the Secret Service simply ask him to hold off starting the rally for a few minutes until they could find Thomas Crooks?

“Nobody said there was a problem,” the President explained, “and I would've waited for 15 minutes, 20 minutes. I think that was a mistake.”

Whatvl does July 13th and January 6th have in common?

The only people that died at either event were Trump supporters.

Reuters is not Fox, CNN or Cucker. They had this subdued style of reporting forever. The guy who demands that they use capitalized "LIED" in a title and snarky comments in the body of their articles is either obtuse or was born yesterday. Or both.

Rumors are that this was an ATF agent.

That all very soon will be categorized as conspiracy theory like everything before. No evidence, baseless.

The Goebbels reversal version is that somehow Trump 'needed' this for his public image publicity campaign. Trump never 'needed' this, he was doing fine without it, and it runs counter to the extremes he has gone to to avoid civil war. That and the Globalist effort to profit with insider information on the assassination are signatories that it was a genuine assassination project. All the standard Deep State and Globalist finger prints are on it.

I even think a lot of the Mockingbird assets were appraised given their very strange and fearful reaction when Trump lived instead of died, plus their awkward poverty of strategy reactions immediately after the attempt.

Can they sue Secret Service for negligence too?

Can they sue Secret Service for negligence too?

Probably not. Wasn't their job to.protect anyone else but Trump and any of his attending family.

You can sue any agency. You just have to have the money to do so since it's baked into their annual budget to defend themselves. I'd guess the SS has a $50M legal budget. Just because it's budgeted, doesn't mean they spend it. But they have more money they can spend than most civilians.

It's complicated, but I can try to explain it more in a future comment. We just did our budget this month for our board. It's no different for the Fed. You can budget more than what you'll likely spend. If you go over you can't spend the money on it. So you fluff the budget assuming something could go wrong and you'll need X more in one line item.

It's why we get federal government shutdown threats every year basically at this point. It overly complicated and I honestly don't even fully understand and I'm the treasurer for my board.

Breaking News: Secret Service never showed up for the 9am site meeting on July 13 the morning of the Rally and as I suggested, now confirmed, Secret Service and the local police were on different radio channels so the Secret Service never received the radio call of gunman on the roof.

Interesting ballistic analysis showing that a Trump 'on purpose' staged ear shot would have been impossible. Also shows that patsy's head would have been well nigh exploded in mists and bits, he wouldn't have been recognizable, which is probably why they have been scrubbing that first fake closeup of 'dead patsy' from the web.

A surgeon familiar with gunshots also stated that patsy's head would have had significant blood and tissue spray (though not in this vid).

I've come up with a few possible suspects:

https://jameshowardkunstler.substack.com/p/only-half-gone

Hillary, you see is buttering up the cloacal vent of the party so that she can wriggle up there and eat its brain, like one of those parasitical wasp larvae that get into a caterpillar. ...

The attempted rub-out at Butler, PA, (Mr. Barnes theorizes) was a NeverTrumper / blob / neo-con joint operation that was supposed to work as follows: Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo, Deep Staters both, are on the outs with a GOP solidifying around Mr. Trump. Before the Milwaukee GOP Convention opens, they are chatting-up delegates in preparation for a kind of coup. The Butler, PA, op is timed before any nomination can occur. It’s (obviously) intended to eliminate the former president for once and for all and make sure there’s no veep candidate to step into his shoes. The blob then blames the Trump assassination on Iran, instantly conjuring up a fresh new war to distract the nation. The GOP Convention nominates war goddess Nikki for president and Pompeo for veep. The DC war party carries on in triumph. Fait accompli.

Notice, Mr. Barnes says, that CNN and other news networks that usually avoid broadcasting Trump rallies, are actually covering the Butler, PA, event live. They want all of America to see Donald Trump’s head explode like a Crenshaw melon on TV — sending the message: this is what happens to anyone who challenges the blob.

But the blob got just the opposite. Now they look DIE-infested, incompetent, and weak.

Who visited Thomas Crooks’ home before he attempted to assassinate President Trump?

Mobile ad data analysis reveals someone who regularly visited Crooks’ Pennsylvania home also visited a building in DC near an FBI office.

The Oversight Project identified nine devices linked to AD-IDs that were located at Crooks’ home and work within the last year.

Per the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project: “We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates”

“To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them,” the Oversight Project said.

They were able to exclude the parents and Crooks phone based on their regular travel to jobs and the Comm Coll.

Come on, does anyone really think they would be this "sloppy"? Much more likely on purpose.

Nothing but more rabbit hole.

Kimberly Cheatle, Director of Secret Service:
I would be remiss if I did not also extend my condolences on the passing of your colleague, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Ms. Jackson Lee was always engaged in the oversight of the Secret Service and her passing is a great loss to this body.

Just another one of those governmental coincidences that always seems to work in their favor ...

Nolte: Kimberly Cheatle Says No Radio Communications Were Recorded on Trump Shooting Day

Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC): Does the Secret Service routinely record communications between and amongst detail?

[Long, awkward pause.]

Cheatle: Radio communications?

Fry: Any communication.

Cheatle: Email communications are captured as well as text messages, and, then, depending on the detail, radio communications are recorded.

Fry: Does the Secret Service have recorded communications from the July 13 event?

Cheatle: We do not have radio communications from that day.

On top of that are these gob-smacking security failures, none of which Cheatle refuted:

The Secret Service left a roof a mere 450 feet from Trump’s line of sight unguarded.
To defend this jaw-dropping oversight, the head of the Secret Service lied with the excuse that this roof was unsafe because it was so steep.
The Secret Service denied numerous requests over two years to add additional security to Trump events.
In the days after the assassination attempt, the Secret Service lied about not denying these requests.
The Secret Service identified the wannabe assassin as a threat at least an hour before Trump took the stage.
The Secret Service spotted the assassin on the roof at 5:51 p.m.
The Secret Service still allowed Trump to take the stage at 6:02 p.m.
The assassin was unmolested until 6:11 p.m. and only after he got off eight shots, one of which hit Trump and missed killing him by a millimeter or two.

BREAKING: Geo-Tracking BOMBSHELL Reveals Thomas Crooks’ Link To DC

" ... the Oversight Project, a watchdog group with the Heritage Foundation, released a report that could potentially link Thomas Crooks, a relatively unknown figure until now, to critical locations in the Washington D.C. area. According to the group’s findings, geo-tracking data from various devices suggests that Crooks had been in close proximity to key sites, including the FBI headquarters and Allegheny Arms—a location of particular interest to investigators."

"The Oversight Project utilized mobile ad data—a tool increasingly used in investigative work to track movements and connections. By monitoring devices frequently appearing at both Crooks’s home and workplace, the group has allegedly mapped out a network of locations and times that are critical to understanding the context and potential threats involved."

Much more here. This is a real smoking gun! https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/breaking-geo-tracking-bombshell-reveals-thomas-crooks-link-to-dc-mace/

PS: This reminds me of the patsy Lee Harvey Oswald, who had numerous contacts and associations with members of the intelligence community, along with the FBI. Both Oswald and Crooks had personas that were professionally fabricated in order paint the plausible picture of a 'loner,' 'loser,' 'anti-social,' 'loved guns,' etc., etc.
