The American public want to know what happened, how it happened and the context for how an assassin was so easily able to get within 150 yards of President Donald Trump and take several shots, killing one and wounding several others – including President Trump.
Today, the Senate Homeland Security Committee will hold a hearing at 10:00 am EDT with U.S. Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe and FBI deputy director Paul Abbate, to ask questions about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
In previous House testimony given by FBI Director Chris Wray, he was curiously willing to answer specific questions about the ongoing investigation and the discoveries therein. A substantive change in approach against the backdrop of his years of obfuscation. That said, Wray’s responses were not always factually accurate. Acting Director Ronald Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate have not yet answered questions and specific lines of congressional inquiry.
The senate hearing begins at 10:00am with livestream links below:

[Via PBS} – […] FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress last week that on July 6, the day Crooks registered to attend the Trump rally, he googled: “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?” That’s a reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, the shooter who killed President John F. Kennedy from a sniper’s perch in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
New details, meanwhile, were emerging about law enforcement security lapses and missed communications that preceded the shooting.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, released text messages from members of the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit that showed how local officers had communicated with each other about a suspicious-behaving man who turned out to be Crooks lurking around more than an hour before the shooting.
One text just before 4:30 p.m. describes a man “sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit.”
