“The solemn mission of the Secret Service is to protect our nation’s leaders. The July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump is the most significant operational failure for the intelligence community in decades.“, Kimberly Cheatle admitted yesterday to the House. “As director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security failures,” she later added.
The head of the Secret Service had finally limited herself to saying that Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who fired the gun while stationed on a rooftop 150 yards from the stage, was “outside the security perimeter.” But he never revealed the operational plan to protect The Donald that day and did not clarify how the young man – later killed by snipers – could have had all the time to carry out reconnaissance and climb onto the building when the agents had declared it safe.
