What I would like to know is what are FJB and Kumala doing to make sure they are safe? Are they just going about life as if nothing happened with the Trump assassination attempt? To me it would be very telling if they have not called the SS to task to make sure their lives are not in danger. I know they need to portray confidence in the SS publicly. But privately, I would be making damn sure they are protecting me and my family.

Uhhh ok. I get it, in the days following this we didn't want speculation, but the lack of facts at this point under such an important event unfortunately leads to lack of trust and discussion of if this was on some level allowed to happen intentionally. I don't think that should be considered the same as saying there were multiple shooters or a guy ziplining from the water tower wearing a tuxedo or whatever.
Does that still count?
I guess I'm more confused by the "we know nothing" point than anything else. I understand the frustration of not holding a public press conference and hope they do that soon, but they have released a ton of info directly to the media to share (ex. The shooter's entire timeline for that afternoon, based on security footage, dash cams, and witnesses), or through the days of testimony that both groups have done so far. Sure some of that, especially Cheadle, was unhelpful and combative, but to say we only have anonymous media leaks to go off of just isn't factual. You may not want to believe what the FBI and SS have said so far, but only going off of the random internet stories that go viral is how we get blatantly false talking points like the stock dump or the SS deleting communications that have to be shot down repeatedly. It's a never ending cycle.
I will say that there are still a number of key items we don't know that definitely need to come out.
- What and how many requests for additional security were denied in the last year. I did read that the acting director said he'd be providing that.
- How often are people labeled as suspicious and what is the protocol or threshold for stopping the event (they may not want to share this publicly)
- What changes are being made to ensure it doesn't happen again - may also need to be vague here for security purposes. They've already said all comms will be recorded and I'm assuming a streamlined structure for that will be coming for events too.
Like most government groups, the final report will be much slower to come out than anyone in a private sector job could accomplish, but none of that should be surprising.

In Rowe's testimony he said the only events where it's standard practice to record and keep SS communications were for events that either were in DC or that had a president or VP. He also said that moving forward all communications will be recorded and kept after the fact.

As to no create another post; one item that has not been discussed yet is the sector of fire/observation between the two sniper teams on the red building:
If the North team had a visual obstruction (the Tree) to the north then they should have been assigned to observe to the south and southwest and the South team should have been assigned to the North in overlapping manner. This tactic is about as basic as it gets. Who assigned these fields of fire?
Punishment for deleting any correspondence needs to be a higher offense than whatever it is now considering Cheatle deleted texts relating to J6 and was still able to maintain her position until her agency screwed up in the some of the most incomprehensible and public ways possible.J.

Record and keep.
and....keep.
So he didn't say they didn't have records of it or it wasnt recorded in the first place.
He said they weren't required to keep it.
I would assume if one did record it, knowing that a former President was almost assassinated on Live Television, the requirement to keep it would change somewhat. Since that is clearly outside of 'standard practice'. Or is that just another thing they are "really bad" at.
Seems like a bit of a headfake, no?
At this point, how would we know if he's mentally anguished or not? In light of all the information, I'm not willing to make that assumption.aggiehawg said:
A bigger issue to me is that the SAIC (Special Agent in Charge) is still operational and not on leave, according Acting Director Rowe. A Secret Service agent with a can't fail mission, failed miserably resulting in a death, multple casualties including to that of high value protectee.
Just the mental anguish of that alone would affect one's concentration to do their job right now. Take a leave of absence. Or be put on a leave of absence, reassigned to a position not out in the field.
Good question. According to Gary, she had to fight to get them approved and it happened late in the advance process. Barely a day before. Counter snipers do have their map of where other LEOs are supposed to be located but lack time to survey the area on their own, study those placements in relation to their designated vantage points.FireAg said:
The next obvious question should have been "how often do you deny the presence of counter snipers at an outdoor event when the current or former POTUS is present, and there is an alleged "known threat" to their well being from a foreign nation?"
The Hubs is retired firefighter. He's been to some pretty gnarly scenes from crispy critters, floaters who had been in the water for a long time and very bad car accidents where he was picking up different body parts to put them into a body bag. There was always some debrief of the responders for a PTSD check and further counseling and paid leave offered.RGLAG85 said:At this point, how would we know if he's mentally anguished or not?

For SS, a failure this big has to be traumatizing. Hard to compartmentalize that as part of the job, like The Hubs could. That was her only job, to stop that from happening, not doing the cleaning up afterwards.
