New details released about content on Trump shooter’s phone

Thomas Matthew Crooks visited the Donald Trump rally location twice, his cell phone contained images of both Trump and President Joe Biden, and the would-be assassin’s search history included dates of the Democratic National Convention as well as future Trump events, three US officials told CNN. CNN’s Danny Freeman reports. #CNN #News

Some might argue that the Secret Service deleting records of events around the Jan 6th insurrection was also a significant failure.

As a Republican I didn’t want to get caught up in slamming the SS…but knowing the timelines now and that the SS still allowed Trump to take the stage is very concerning.

[jmm]

The latest is that he was identified as suspicious an hour before the event and a threat 10-30 minutes before the protectee took the stage. Another thought-tone deaf- in what world did the director think she could show her face at the RNC without being confronted.

[luashelton]

Wouldn't want her in charge of protecting ANY candidate of ANY political party

[onewingedraven]

Secret Service did the one thing I thought impossible, they made the left and right agree on something. Their incompetence seems like negligence and we all see it.

[JaneScott-jfuu]

The RNC convention was a safer place under President Biden than Congress was under Trump on Jan 6.

If it wasn't for cellphone footage, we still wouldn't know anything!! It's been 4 days & there are more questions than answers.

And THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAID YOU SHOULD RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION 🙄

[DMaria]

The security was a joke I think we can all agree on that. This shouldn’t have been possible for a mid level celebrity to be shot let alone a high profile politician.

[bdchaney]

I would like to know why there was no camera drones flying around as another protection devise? They use them in other law enforcement agencies. I bet if there was drones, this all would not have happened

[terrypoulton]

She needs to resign immediately. Everybody knows that you don’t have to put it on the news.

[DATAVHUL]

every american should be wanting answers..this should not happen to anyone and the fact they knew the guy was running around is crazy

[PinstripePride]

She shouldn’t resign. She should be fired

[BlackBeardPirate]

That lady should be fired immediately why is she still employed?

[jamesdeluca]

Not almost Einstein, he did shoot Donald Trump

[Idlewyld]

Please explain to me how Director Cheatle still has a job when she is clearly not able to perform her duties?

[RonnieRaley]

She drop the ball a total disgrace to America.

[ThickBanana]

If the Secret Service had to cancel or significantly postpone events every time they saw someone suspicious, the number of affected events would be impractically staggering.

[dennisstafford-cqxz]

On camera confrontations and faux outrage are for public consumption and do not indicate serious effort in fact finding. It should be important to just shut up until the investigations uncover pertinent facts. It is just prudent sometines to just keep yor flaps closed until you know what the heck you're talking about.

[richards]

Answers not scapegoats. Keep up the pressure, demand transparency, but let the investigation play out. Call for informed accountability.
