If some of the personnel during the Trump assassination appeared completely unready, there was a good reason for it.
They weren’t ready and this wasn’t their job.
Sen. Josh Hawley said he’s been informed by whistleblowers that most of the agents assigned to protect Donald Trump during the assassination attempt at his Butler, Pa., rally in July were Homeland Security personnel who had minimal protective training.
Instead of having dozens of Secret Service agents on his detail for the July 13 rally, Trump was mostly guarded by Homeland Security agents who only received online webinar training before the event, Hawley (R-Mo.) said in an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday evening.
“A two-hour, online webinar. And I’m told that half the time, the sounds to the webinar didn’t even work,” Hawley claimed.
The Homeland Security agents were supposedly pulled off child exploitation cases and other investigations in order to serve on Trump’s protective detail — which was something they did not normally do, Hawley added.
I’m gonna speculate that Jill Biden (sorry, Dr. Jill Biden) wasn’t being guarded by child exploitation agents who got a two-hour webinar.
A former president and presidential candidate’s security actually takes precedence over a first lady. I can’t think of an assassination attempt aimed at a first lady with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton.
But more to the point, Secret Service leadership retasked unready DHS personnel, gave them a webinar and sent them off to protect one of the most targeted men in the world.
It’s one thing when DHS personnel were retasked during the BLM D.C. riots when the District leadership refused to secure the nation’s capital and racist thugs ran wild. It wasn’t ideal, but AG Barr sent out the order and a whole bunch of men showed up masked and in gear and looked like they knew what they were doing. The theory didn’t have to be tested too hard which is probably a good thing because half those men might have performed no better if it had come down to a shooting situation.
This was a whole other situation. It was inexcusable and if it wasn’t an actual plot, it was wilful neglect of a high enough order that there should be criminal charges.

Deliberate incompetence aiming at a hit on Trump by someone else, giving them plausible deniability.
internalexile says
Trump, RFK, and Vance will all be in serious danger for some time.
Jeff Bargholz says
Exactly. Plausible deniability, although this regime is so lawless I’m surprised they bothered. I assume they fear retribution if Trump overcomes Dirtbagocrat vote fraud this time around.
I’m old as fuck but sometimes I wish I were old enough to die just so I wouldn’t have to watch the D-Bag implosion of my country.
Blackdog says
Don’t they have enough personal to guard the people they are supposed to like RFk Jr and Trump? Was this willful neglect or is the SS just losing numbers like the Navy and Army?
Taylor Lake says
From the day of the assassination attempt I’d speculated that the Secret Service assigned its version of the 12 O’Clock High-style “Leper Colony” to Donald Trump’s security detail: every agent who didn’t measure up for some reason, he got them.
Turns out to have been even worse than I suspected. He didn’t get the Leper Colony; he got the Imposters, a.k.a. “The God Squad” because it was only divine intervention that saved his life that day, or “The Avengers” because they’d take out an assassin only after allowing him to get off multiple shots first at practically point-blank range first.
Donald Trump needs to ditch his Secret Service “protection” and hire his own security detail. It’s the only way he can be sure he’s got professionals on the job who don’t either want him dead or just don’t care.
Phil Lipofsky says
So let me get this straight:
The idea was to send out no actual protection or intelligence but one sharp shooter to take out any potential “unknown” assassin of Trump, and then to take out the assassin after the feat was accomplished. That is the method going forward, to allow Trump to remain unprotected in the hopes [or plans] that he gets assassinated so that everyone keeps their jobs under Harris/Walz.
And then for the WSJ, send out a Jewish reporter to do a story on a Russian tank factory with the inside knowledge and direction from Russian agents that he will be arrested for the purpose of making a prisoner swap with an agent that Russia wanted back.
Did I get all of that correct?
Jeff Bargholz says
I don’t know about Russian tanks but the SS definitely wanted Trump to die.
Algorithmic Analyst says
The sickest thing is that the shooter got off something like 8 shots before they took him out. That really bothers me.
Jeff Bargholz says
And Crooks killed people. Few people talk about the victims. I’ve never even heard their names. Those were real people. Imagine if they were friends or family of ours? The media, even the good outlets, are doing them a disservice.
MuggsSpongedice says
the truth is coming out about 7-13-2024 – it was a set up = throw enough Manchurian Candidates against a wall, hopefully one will stick – President Trump and his family are in dire danger until his second administration is finished in 2029 when JD Vance is sworn in as POTUS
This is a deep state with domestic treasonous criminals in conspiracy
Intrepid says
“Willful neglect of a high enough order that there should be criminal charges.”
Sorry folks, no criminal investigation unless Trump wins.
This election really is the Normals v. the Communists.
Daniel Liebert says
As always these days: “???? !!!!!”
Dr. Don Rhudy says
The Pennsylvania attempt on Trump’s life has all the characteristics of a Government effort. The U.S. Government has shown us its modus operandi before with the assassinations of JFK and RFK and more recently with the death of Jeffrey Epstein in a supposedly secure jail. First, the Government secures a patsy or fall guy to take blame for the shooting. In the case of RFK and JFK it arranged for Sirhan Sirhan and Lee Harvey Oswald to be blamed for the shooting. Meanwhile it provided backup shooters who serve one or two purposes. One, if the fall guy misses, the government shooters will shoot the target and the fall guy.. If the fall guy gets the target, then the government shooters shoot him. Either way, the CIA/FBI/SS look good. The next step is to muddy up the evidence. In the JFK shooting there was film of the government shooter on Dealy Plaza. In the RFK shooting Sirhan Sirhan shot RFK from the front but autopsical evidence showed for shots from the back at close range, determined by powder burns on his coat. In the Epstein murder it was clear Epstein did not hang himself but was hanged while the two guards were “taking a break.”
Having missed Trump in Pennsylvania the Government (FBI/CIA/SS) is almost obliged to try again.

Training by Webinar. That really struck me just now. Real training is hard, training by Webinar is a joke.
I was just reading how Guderian trained his Panzer troops. Serious training. And here in USA, we spend 2 hours of Webinar to train the elite of elite security agents who are tasked to protect the President.
