'Local police warned of gunman at Trump shooting': US Secret Service chief Ronald Rowe

The new acting chief of the U.S. Secret Service said that local police in Pennsylvania should not be held responsible for security failures leading up to the assassination attempt on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump last month. "In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure," U.S. Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe told reporters on Friday. The first shooting of a U.S. president or major party candidate in more than four decades was a glaring security lapse that led last week to former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle's resignation under bipartisan congressional pressure.

Accountability and transparency is what we need.

At 5:30 why was there 2 SS women assigned to TRUMP that didn't even come up to his shoulders in height. Also the one that couldn't even reholster her gun, that's scraping the bottom of the barrel for the SS.

Wow... Even local police saw. But specially trained secret service couldn't see.

Just because you’re saying you’re accountable and giving us a little information I do not believe you we shouldn’t have to beat you guys down to give us information. You guys work for the American people.
