Trump shooting: Josh Hawley EXPLODES On Secret Service and FBI during heated hearing

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., grilled Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe about the details of the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The FBI on Monday morning told reporters that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks accessed the roof of a building near former President Trump's July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by climbing up HVAC equipment and piping.

Crooks then traversed multiple rooftops before he found his shooting position on top of a building owned by American Glass Research (AGR), located near the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds about 150 yards from where the former president spoke at his rally.

The FBI hosted a press conference call with reporters more than two weeks after 20-year-old Crooks fired at Trump with a DPMS AR-15-style firearm with a collapsable stock during the rally in an assassination attempt that nicked the president's ear but left one man dead and two others hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
Leaders on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee are making a sweeping request for records as part of the panel’s investigation into the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

The Trump campaign announced the Butler rally on July 3, and three days later, Crooks signed up for the event. That same day — July 6 — he researched how far Lee Henry Oswald was from the late President John F. Kennedy when Oswald assassinated the former president in 1963. On July 7, he traveled to the rally site and spent approximately 20 minutes in the area, Rojak said.

Trump took the podium around 6 p.m. — an hour after he was scheduled to speak. Eleven minutes later, Crooks fired multiple rounds, killing 50-year-old Corey Comperatore and seriously wounding 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver. Dutch was hospitalized and has since been released, while Copenhaver remains hospitalized.

FBI officials are still working to determine Crooks' motive behind the assassination attempt that rocked Butler and neighboring townships. They are also still working to determine whether Crooks planned with any coconspirators, though the agency clarified on Monday that there are no signs to indicate there were others involved.

Sens. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — the committee chair and ranking member, respectively — and Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who lead a key subcommittee, sent letters on Thursday to the Secret Service, FBI, Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis, Beaver County District Attorney, Butler County District Attorney, Butler County Sheriff, Butler Township Police Department and Pennsylvania State Police.

17 days isn't enough time to have come up with conclusions yet???
BS!!

[lindabruce]

We the People will (NEVER GET THE TRUTH)!!!!

[bonniemcilveen]

No answers again & again & again. Put them in jail...

[justbeyourbestself]

How can this be "investigated" by FBI itself???

[zorra]

We know this was an inside job. People need to go to jail for this

[billmartin]

Is it normal to destroy all evidence of what the Secret Service did or did not do before an assassination and/or attempt?

[StevenSRizzo]

When police are involved in a suspect shooting they are put on administrative leave. They don’t go back on the street until the situation is investigated. It is unbelievable in this situation that anyone involved in making decisions on that day is not currently riding a desk, rather than being still “operational” in the field. Pure insanity.

[PhyllisJohnson-lrbq]

He's lying like a rug. These people do not show any respect, integrity or remorse for what happened. Disgraceful behavior

[SK-rrop]

You only need to watch this video and you will understand who does not want the truth to come out.

[bobfeller]

Hawley is sharp, argue with him and he'll hand you your hat.

[barbv]

Blah, blah, blah, cover our butt and not answer direct questions but blame, blame, blame and not take responsibility!! This is such bull pucky!!

[sunshinehoward]

People are screaming for transparency. These agencies never comply then cry when we question them. Just crazy people who work in gov get so far out of touch, they cannot hear us!!! take some of the budget and buy some hearing aids! There are no excuses. We are the boss. We deserve answers.

[barjar]

Why are they allowing the criminals to investigate themselves?

[thecaptain]

These people are a disgrace to this country and should be jailed

[SDscrch]

everyone who can't answer questions.. should either resign
or be forced out

[TheOneanjel]

Its INSANE that the people responsible for leaving that roof unmanned & letting Trump take the stage are still on active duty.

[nurivaras]

INSIDE JOB. WE AMERICAN KNOWS. JFK LIKED REMEMBER.

[REB]

17 days! That's enough to at least SUSPEND the people involved & have some BASIC answers. They would have arrested you & me by now if WE, Joe Citizens, were involved!

[kimmetts]

The head of the Secret Service failed and resigned. She should have been fired immediately. It's called pass the buck. Whoever was in charge of the President's detail in Pennsylvania was responsible as well. Should be fired...immediately. No excuses.

[Sam-oobb]

If you failed 10% of how they fail daily.
I would had been fired years ago but they seem to fail up wards...
