Yesterday, Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, briefed members of the House and Senate about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
Following the briefing Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), told reporters that lawmakers “will have a report very, very soon that I think will absolutely shock the American people about the lapses and lags in protection that was afforded that day and the breakdown in communication, failure and responsibility.” Apparently, the USSS is going to use the ‘mistakes were made‘ justification for the failures in protection.

(WASHINGTON DC) – Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe spoke with members of both the House and Senate in closed sessions Thursday to discuss the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Rowe briefed members in both chambers about the agency’s interim report examining the USSS’s security lapses that led to a gunman being able to scale a nearby building and open fire on Trump, just minutes into his rally.
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., the lead Democrat on the Trump Assassination Task Force told Fox News Digital that the briefing with Rowe was a “very lengthy and very candid discussion.”
“They discussed the … failings that occurred that day and what’s been done to fix it, as well as some of the resourcing constraints the Secret Service has faced this election cycle,” Crow said of Rowe’s briefing with lawmakers. “He made an outline of their internal report and briefed us on their internal mission evaluation, which is now complete.”
Fox News was previously informed that the overall mission assurance probe conducted by the Secret Service is nearly complete and will soon be made public. (read more)
Blumenthal is a 1st class snake.
Quite telling that wants to put distance between himself & the Feds.
Makes Walz look like a petty valor thief.
AKA Da Nang Dick
What a legacy that sack of crap has.
Monkey Mountain Dick. If he had actually been to Da Nang, he would know the reference.
Yes, Blumenthal is a 1st class snake.
I have a problem with the fact he – a Dem- is the voice announcing this report re: the assassination attempt against a former Rep POTUS and the R candidate in 2024.
Seems inappropriate for a Trump-hater Dem to be the one to announce this to the public.
Are there Republicans making announcements too?
Uniparty trying to pretend they are all about Unity, not trying to take out Trump. So much so that Dems are helping Republicans because it’s such an outrage how inept the SS was, even the current Dem admin can’t help but step up, blah, blah, blah
Weasel that needs a bath. I feel oily just listening to him.
Definitely greasy!!!
Hey! Watch it Buddy. Captain Blumenthal is a decorated Vietnam War hero that saw heavy action fighting the VC along with his Master Sergeant Tim Walz!
I have been following this – you are 100% spot on Sundance….
Also I would like to add this…Could this be the October surprise to Blame Marbles to shove him out and Install Ditzy as the new President for election purposes?
That’s the 1st thing that came to mind for me when I saw that…
When Blumenthal speaks…and offers info..there is way more that will happen to benefit them..
Then Republicsns will DEMAND Marbles step down in lockstep and the fox news hosts will go right along with it
Certainly makes sense. I thought that they would have taken marbles out sooner, but it makes even more sense not to give Harris much time to flub things up before the election.
I want Ditzy to have to live admist the Haitians she imported into Springfield Ohio. No, live WITH them and see how long she lasts.
I love your handle.
We live in very crooked times.
Fact check: 100% True
We live in very evil times!!!!
Yeah…Hmmmmm. Maybe not trying to convince people it wasn’t a set up? Or according to Melania…Who killed my husband?
Tried to kill…sheesh!!
OOps. Yuh.
Yes, they have all had some very candid meetings about the problem of casino gambling at Ricks American Club.
Captain Louis Renault has vowed to get to the root cause.
Lol. Just watched Casablanca night before last. An amazing movie.
classic
I’m shocked to find out that gambling is going on!
Gotta get the security agencies the pols depend on running properly for the looming election.
Will they delay the release for 50 years like the Warren Report?
Yes but… Will it be factually true.? Will anyone be identified, face repercussions, disciplinary consequences or fired..?
No.
Of course not. JFK assassination redux. 9/11 WTC part two.
Blumenthal just confirmed it was an inside job
Confirmed that this report will be a work of fiction.
Steven King will be asked to clean up the report.
Indeed. They like to trot out Col. VN Lol to distract – I’m so sure it was “SS mistakes were made.” Blumenthal is an ass, a lying ass, at that. I’m like SD – who paid for that bullet??? I’m sure “Dick” knows.
100% truth. He does and Schumer also knows.
Gotta have everyone on the same page! Hard to believe the USSS looked like the “Keystone Kops!”
Exactly!
It may shock some Americans but, sadly, not much about this shocks me any more. I believe the USSS is shocked that they failed to assassinate DJT.
By God’s grace PDJT was spared or this would have been a success for them.
I’m reminded of the SS lady wearing sunglasses sitting behind PDJT who was ready with her camera for whatever happened.
Yes. Veerrrry interes-ting!
And CNN with their high speed camera. We all know what they hoped to capture…
Yes….who was she? Anyone know?
DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!
Winner! Winner!
Didn’t Biden have something to say a few days beforehand?
Why, yes Biden did say that something very bad would happen to Donald Trump just like Biden predicted the destruction of the Nordstream Pipelines!
Biden also predicted that the Democrats had the most effective election fraud operation ever developed!
Yes… he remembered how poor Beau was taken out by a sniper in Afghanistan….
They may very well try again, surprised they didn’t on September 11th in NYC, Vance, Trump, Cameltoe, Biden and Schumer were all there in one spot
I read somewhere that when the gelatinous life form called DJT after the event, he asked “why did you turn your head”? IOW we had you and you moved,
Yes.
The only thing that would shock me is if they actually told the truth. it was a set up and we all know it.
The usss also refuses to believe that Abba Yahweh had a hand in repositioning Trump’s head in the perfect position to protect him. They don’t believe in Him but we who do, know that Abba Yahweh is the master of perfection.
To be honest, I won’t be shocked. All of the “errors” were on purpose. God intervened.
Divine Intervention is very real.
Vraiment.
And always so subtle.
Yes.
No question it was divine intervention.
That’s what gives me hope that PDJT will be reelected, inaugurated and serve as our 47th President.
God didn’t save Trump for no reason. He has a very important reason and PURPOSE … but it could be 2 different things. We don’t know yet. I’m praying for door #1.
(1) God will restore America. We are certainly now besieged by powerful demonic forces that have affected the minds and reason of many/most Americans. Maybe God intends to give us a reprieve (few or many years) to restore civility, morality, respect and devotion to God – to open our eyes- in the US and the world. OR
(2) God intends to unleash a chastisement upon the world and He wants President Trump to guide us through those perilous years, which may/hopefully be short. Not Armaggeddon but a chastisement.
IMO, WW1 and WW2 and the great depression were chastisements… that God permitted b/c we exercised our “free will” poorly.
Humanity seems far worse, today, more atheistic and immoral than in the last century. They got: WWI (1914-17), the great depression (1929-1941), WWII (1939-1945). And, elsewhere in the world: Stalin, Mao, PolPot, others.
Again, I’m praying for door #1.
I’ll see your door #1 and raise you a pre-trib rapture
In all seriousness, coming alongside you. Praying for His grace.
It’s an obvious diversion from the truth that one of our 3 letter government bureaus tried to kill him. Of course deep state Blumenthal is eager to promote the deception.
It is refreshing to see that no one here is fooled by the attempts to change the focus from involvement to incompetence. This ain’t our first Rodeo.
“A strongly worded letter!”
Yeah, nothing will come of this.
That is why it is up to us, We the People, to get vocal.
I know you’re right. Just feeling a little low thinking how close we came………
Some won’t be shocked. That’s us.
Former United States Secret Service Special Agent Dan Bongino said that
“layered incompetence always means intent.”
Here’s why that’s credible:
Many of the people involved are trained security professionals. (I’m not talking about the DHS people.)
Local security people have been used before. Many are ex- military. So there was a brain trust of people who would HAVE NOTICED that standard protocols weren’t being followed.
Therefore, the perpetuation of those non-standard procedures had to be intentional.
A massive Iranian threat, and the guy walking down the fairway 10 feet in front of the shooter, looked middle-eastern with very dark skin.
So not only was the shooter not a typical looking Trump supporter, but this middle eastern guy stood out like a sore thumb too, and they were walking at the same pace down that fairway.
The question for me is why Blumenthal is speaking out.
Right after the shooting, when Sen Hawley had questions, I mistakenly repeated those to my liberal family member – who HIT THE ROOF.
He was outraged to even consider that something insideous had happened. In his mind – any conservative asking that question – was a political hack with bad intentions.
Wow – I saw the poison within.
So maybe Blumenthal knows HE’D BETTER START PRIMING his democrat minions for a reality check.
Otherwise they’re likely to go into some kind of dissociative shock.
Or the old saying in government….’a person is promoted to their highest level of incompetence’.
I’ve always thought Bongino’s first analysis the day after the attempt, after stating it was an abject failure, was that ‘Trump saved himself” ad that is the best comment to date.
Exactly. Only 3 actual SS agents were assigned to the rally. All the rest were last minutes grabs from DHS. The DHS agents watched a 2 hour webinar for training. They wouldn’t have seen anything amiss with the security protocols that day like no snipers on the closest roof.
Consider that a Secret Service agent selected for the protection division goes through a specialized 9 – month training program.
Bongino is correct … Hanlon’s Razor cuts both ways.
“The question for me is why Blumenthal is speaking out.”
Because Trump is going to win. Too Big To Rig is working and the Economy is much worse than the Beltway Crowd realizes, but the rest of us live it every day. Blum wants to be spared .
I rhink Blum was sent out there with the ‘shocking incompetence’ message since if he — a Never Trumper — says it naturally it will be believed by the sheeple.
Local security people have been used before. Many are ex- military. So there was a brain trust of people who would HAVE NOTICED that standard protocols weren’t being followed.
Even one of the women who has sold MAGA merch at several rallies said she was ‘very puzzled’ early on as to why the normal precautions had not been taken that she’d seen at all the other rallies she attended.
Dang ?
Danang!

Allowing a shooter to get that close to Trump was either:
a: Total incompetence on the part of the Secret Service
b: they allowed the shooter to get in that close, and invited CNN to cover it
If DaNang Dick said it was incompetence, I will take the other answer. Good attempt to cover up gov’t involvement in an assassination attempt.
CNN never covers Trump
rallies. That’s the tell. Why did they cover one in an insignificant small town like Butler, PA? Just like CNN gets tipped off on high profile FBI raids, they were told to be there.
Who’s going to be shocked? Many, many people have expected an attempt on Trump’s life. It was only matter of when and when the DS felt like they couldn’t take him down any other way.
I agree. There have been previous attempts when Trump lived in NY. There were “incidences” with his aircraft when Melania was aboard, but T-Man was not. There were other times as well.
Nor does the BBC ! Yet there was a senior reporter from the UK doing a live interview with one of the witnesses on the outer edges of the rally. It was the tall, red haired chap, with a MAGA hat being interviewed.
And remember, that same kid said :as people hollered out to passing police “someone on the roof with a gun”, police just kept on going, looking around saying “huh, huh, huh” and never took any interest at all, like they didn’t hear anything.
The Beeb was also there.
Isn’t Dick Blowemall the definition of incompetence?
Exactly.
Who’s this report for? 70% of Americans think it was an inside job. We already know what happened.
This will be their report and everyone will stick to it! Just gotta make sure everyone knows the steps!
So we have this story, then we have Joe Brandon putting on a Trump 2024 hat and also CNN is calling out ABC for a biased debate , something is very different this time around. None of these things would have happened 4 years ago.
If Nancy the stock market wizard says something nice about 45 I’m thinking the apocalypse is nigh!
I’ve been wondering if Pres. Trump hasn’t let the news people – Like Jake Tapper at cnn – know that he’s asking them to just be fair, and he’ll guarantee their access to his White House. Tapper just came out saying Kamala avoided answering the questions – and showed 2 examples.
Why?
Never do I thnk Trump would engage in a quid pro quo with any enemies of the people.
Cause their ratings suck!
I am getting the sense that a lot of these demons in government and bureaucracies are trying to mitigate their involvement in the destruction of this nation.
Maybe they are getting their passports and affairs in order before the head to a “friendly” nation.
Maybe some will remain and become snitches.
The rest will fight to the bitter end.
There are no nations which are friendly to high-level, refugee traitors.
I can think of a few.
Getting outta Dodge won’t work for them. Navy SEALS have no borders, just like Amerika.
I know? I’ve been wondering the same thing about Jake Tapper’s comments and Erin Burnett’s shock that Harris supporting trans surgeries for illegals. She wasn’t shocked. All the lapdog press are radicals. They support everything Dems do. So what’s really going on here?
Benny Johnson made a video about this yesterday. There are two clips from different perspectives. Old Joe was actually pretty charming and working the crowd rather well.
Blumenthal is such a shining example of reassuring truth I”m going to sleep much better 2-night knowing that he is “on the job”… BTW anyone heard about Eric & Don Jr supposedly coming out with their own crypto-coin? Unflattering article about it on Zero Hedge. Just curious if it’s BS.
I thought the same thing – this POS liar?
‘mistakes were made‘
Funny how CNN got the message to broadcast the murder as it was supposed to happen.
CNN must be prescient as they seem to know when something big is to go down.
CNN pushed back at President Trump for his tweet on Friday that asked “who alerted” the network to a pre-dawn raid by the FBI of his longtime associate Roger Stone. “
thank you for saying so!
I was thinking the exact same
In not shocked, I’m angry about all of this. Retribution needs to be meted out to all of the accomplises involved in this plot.
Not least of all for the murder of innocents who’s only crime was being at Trump’s campaign rally.
I agree 100%. Along with all those complicit in the 2020 coup d’etat. I want the roundup to begin on Inauguration Day. The coup wasn’t just against President Trump, it was against the American people and the US constitution. They must pay. All of them.
Midianites.
I realized this could be used as an excuse to replace Biden with Kamala.If evidence shows that Biden gave the signal to let the plan unfold.
Incompetence is not as shocking as intent.
What complete and utter BS. Secret Service should have called themselves “Ukraine” in order to get the “resources” that they needed. Perhaps, if they fired the incompetent agents and hired REAL SS agents then they wouldn’t be in this predicament.
A group of high schoolers could have done a better job.
“They discussed the … failings that occurred that day and what’s been done to fix it, as well as some of the resourcing constraints the Secret Service has faced this election cycle,”
What failings? I thought they stocked his SS detail with people from other departments since Giggles and the doctor had need of all the qualified agents that day for their little outings.
Miniscule outings.
Yes. Agree none of us will be shocked. Within minutes I was communicating with a MC Colonel. Asked him if it could have been a sniper who took to a tree a couple of days prior to the 13th. Told him that’s the only thing that could make sense given no way in hell that there would have been any obvious sniper positions not countered.
Confessions of a derp state actor? Already? So were they “mistakes” or coinkidinks?
I’m going to have to but a new SHOCKED face. I may even “absolutely, positively SHOCKED” eyebrows.
The man took a bullet for America. And lived to tell about it.
“We the People”…on both sides…owe this man…BIGLY!
It does not get any more specific than this, without excuses:
The USSS owes Melania, Barron, the other Trump kids an explanation for their FAILURES, irregardless of who is BFF with who…..and they owe Mr. Trump, BIGLY!
Gaslighting warning in the near future.
And the hits just keep on coming.
Lapses is the narrative and not “who all, how and why?”
Closer to “Mistakes” were planned.
May they all ROT in their own HELL~~~forevermore!!! 😡
Just the fact that Blumenhal, known bad guy, is saying this tells me the coverup is in full swing.
Sounds to me it’s the rationale the Senate would use should an “unexpected” event occur. “They did all they could!”
Is Blumental going to honestly admit that the powers that be were behind the shooting? I doubt it.
I think we all know who the second and 3rd shooters were employed by, and why all the changes were made on the SS detail. However nobody seems to address that elephant in the room.
Me thinks the closed door session was a cover your ass session
Never ascribe to incompetence, that which can more easily be explained by intent.
I see what you did there. Good job!
The Lord knows the truth and the liars will be exposed.
Am I missing something here?
We go from immigration, to Haitians, to biased debates, to SS exposure, on and on and on.
Meanwhile, our Country is broke and needs a default, the neocons are ramping up war, Putin just said if Ukraine uses long-range missiles, this will be an Act of War against Russia because he knows NATO, Europe and US are involved with the guidance systems.
I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I want peace, I want President Trump to win the Presidency. War is coming regardless of want I want and if Trump does become #47, the warmongering idiots are going to tie his hands.
We all have no doubt about who wanted who out, regarding the assassination attempt but the timing is impeccable, don’t ya think?
Raising false expectations so the lapse(s) seem not as heinous?
Blumenthal is a dirty raaat. Who does he think is leaning in excitedly to listen to his story? Jeeeez
A report from the perps about the perps following the investigation by the perps.
I’m afraid the pattern of the mistakes is so clear, everybody knows it was no mistake
It was an obvious deliberate effort at assassination and coverup.
A report “very soon.” As in never.
oh jeez! Here they go again. What’s the angle of this Op?
“Apparently, the USSS is going to use the ‘mistakes were made‘ justification for the failures in protection.”
Translation of Rowe’s statement: We were actually trying to murder Donald Trump and failed. In order to cover-up the crime and the highly positioned criminals responsible we’re going to “fall on our dirty sword” and take the blame to protect the people responsible. I will be rewarded handsomely for my gracious sacrifice!
Will we be as shocked,asstonished and appalled as we were when we learned that the great Vietnam war hero Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) wasn’t even there?
If even half as shocked, astonished and appalled, that will be very shocked, astonished and appalled.
yeah right you promoted a dim wit to run the whole outing…..full knowing she would take the patsy walk as incompetent but so well intentioned. So easy to watch these clowns try to fool us. Face it that kid was invited in and made to feel perfectly at home till he a got a few shots off. Thats the explanayion and any RINO or dem saying it was unintentional mishap by inexperienced agents. BS we know what ya did. Let the GOP guys cover you but we aren’t that easy.
Never fear, Blumenthal and all the rinos will be protected during the electoral college count by…the USSS. I’m willing to bet there won’t be any “Incompetence, lapses, or lags” while protecting their sorry butts.
“DHS designates Electoral College vote count as special national security event”
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/sep/11/electoral-college-vote-count-designated-as-special/
What a load of horse shit, and the bastards are rubbing our faces in it.
Exactly.
