Let me ask you, though, hasn’t President Biden had many events which were in the open air?

So, is this an attempt by the Secret Service to better protect President Trump, is it a way to drain the energy out of his campaign or, a bit of both?

What does that say to you about the distance the Secret Service’s “perimeter”–in the case of the attempted assassination of President Trump, apparently something less than 150 or so yards from the podium–should have extended outward to, and how many agents it would have taken to secure a reasonable perimeter?

That should give you an idea of the mindset of Secret Service officials.

Despite all of the direct death threats from Iran, despite the acknowledgements that some presumably well-trained and armed terrorists likely crossed into the U.S. through our essentially open Southern border, and were setting up shop here in the U.S., despite eight years of the constant demonization of President Trump and many death threats–some of them very open and public–President Trump didn’t “deserve” the extra security *

Many of the agents assigned to protect President Trump on the day of the attempted assassination, a deliberately inadequate number (gotta protect “Dr.” Jill don’t ya know), and some of them relatively untrained “subs”–borrowed from the Department of Homeland Security, and perhaps other Federal agencies–didn’t much care for “the Donald” or his politics and, so, didn’t put in their best effort that day.

That’s possible. In Epstein’s case, it’s certainly the most likely IMO. (It’s interesting how the most reflexive anti-conspiracy voices have nothing to say when it comes to Epstein.)

My counter is that it’s one thing to pay off some low-level prison personnel on a case of a scumbag, whom few people cared about. It’s another to pay off SS agents and police in order to hit a former President and current presidential candidate before a crowd in a case which will be of global interest.

They know the names of the SS agent who was supposed to be on the roof and the police who were supposed to be patrolling. I have difficulty imagining such officers wouldn’t realize that something’s serious was up and they could be asked some horrific questions later.

OTOH if they were just slacking off because others were too and it was just another stupid rally and nothing would happen, I could see that more easily.
