FBI confirms Secret Service misconduct in attack on Trump

Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle’s excuses have not satisfied Republicans, especially her statements on Monday that the roof of the building from which Thomas Crooks fired was not covered because it was tilted. The truth is that Crooks fired and the ballistics report showed he missed because Trump had turned his head away.

Cheatle will appear before a committee on Capitol Hill on the 22nd. Meanwhile, the White House has launched an investigation. In internal communications, the director of the Secret Service has praised the work of agents after the first shots were fired, But the reality is that Trump was exposed and not fully protected: Although surrounded by officers, he stuck his head and fist out, creating an iconic image. This does not suggest that another sniper could have attacked him at that moment.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced to his party’s congress in Milwaukee that he is going to ask for her resignation. “I think it’s inexcusable … Your explanation that the roof had a slope and therefore there might be less safety does not hold water. I think she’s already shown what her priorities are,” he said.

For many Republicans, those priorities are making the Secret Service more diverse, hiring more women and people of diverse races. The scrutiny of the shooting photos has drawn criticism from a number of Republican politicians and analysts The actions of two female agents who were having trouble drawing their weaponsThey hid behind Trump and asked loudly: “What do we do now, what do we do now?”

The FBI, which is coordinating the investigation, managed to access the killer’s phone on Tuesday, but Crooks remains an enigma. His father told authorities that he left with a rifle on Saturday morning and thought he was going to the shooting range. He informed the police only at 11:00 pm, when his son was already dead. Before arriving at the rally, Crooks bought 50 rounds of ammunition and a ladder.

Agents had known about Trump for quite some time before he spoke. They had photos and video, and two local police officers confronted him on the roof of the building, But the miscreants targeted him and he ran away safely.. The miscreants then opened fire, puncturing Trump’s ear, killing firefighter Corey Comperator and seriously wounding two people.
