New Details Around Trump Shooting Damning for the Secret Service

Since the episode about the assassination attempt on former President Trump posted on this channel last week a lot of new information and video footage has emerged. This episode reviews the highlights.

And as an audiobook here:

I'm sick and tired of all the cosplay theater in government. Few people seem to be competent in their jobs. That SS agent was unimpressive at best. He asked questions like a news reporter might.

As Dan Bongino asked "Where was the advance team?" "Where was the no fly order, no drone should have been there 2hrs b4?" "Where were the bomb dogs?"

This is way beyond incompetent.

The Secret Services' loss of all chats and emails after 6 Jan was a serious breach of discipline that should not have been ignored.

Thanks for the update Ward Carroll. Big fan of your content.

The cop on the roof sounded 10x more professional than the SS agent. I mean, holy shit - was it that SS agent's first day on the job?

[slappynixon]

These hearings always make me sick. Even an average dude like me can see through the grandstanding and forced concern.

Sad state of affairs at that agency. Thank you for the video, Ward!

The more we learn about our institutions, the more we realize they are corrupt, incompetent or both.

My absolute favorite part of the Kimberly Cheatle hearing was when one the Congressmen asked her, "Do you know what H. Stuart Knight did after the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan?" And she went, "He continued to serve on?" and the Congressman correcting her, "HE RESIGNED!"
It was hilarious because you basically see the "Oh..." written on her face despite her not saying anything. And now she wisely followed suit by resigning herself. It was overdue, and likely she was asked to do it, but at least she's out. Maybe she can go back to working security for Pepsi (no joke, that was her previous job after she left the Secret Service some years ago).

Iraq veterans beg to differ about “too hot” analysis

[debbywoodbeck]

You left out my favorite one where Pat Fallon tells her to go back to guarding Doritos. LOL

After retiring from the military after almost 28 years in uniform, I then did almost 16 years as a Military civilian civil service employee. When things went south, the default action by higher level supervisors was circle the wagons and "Protect the Installation."

Her resignation wont solve the underlying problem

Notice how dangerous the slope of that roof is and how difficult it is for those people to stand there without falling off. Also note how hot it seems to be... how were those people able to stand that heat.

Wray is slick. He's more of an accomplished waltzer than a tap dance.

[willwozniak]

Appreciate the inside scoop from your view...Thank you SIR.👉🏻

I've never heard nor has anyone asked who was actually the approving agent for this affair? It wasn't Cheatle. One reason she couldn't answer questions was she was not a principal here. The buck may stop with her, but someone else made or approved all the bad calls. That's who should have been before congress to answer questions.

Regarding "No common radio frequency", there is no need for one IF....IF...IF the Command Post is properly equipped and manned.

We had a liaison from all of the organizations and agencies in the CP, along with the Unified Command and dispatchers relaying information and command instructions as needed. All of those liaisons were in radio comms with their organization.

The time it took to get information to everyone in the operation was mere seconds, as when info was received from whatever source, it was immediately broadcast on the various radio nets and generally over the local LE frequencies.

This was a Command-Post failure compounding a planning and perimeter- security failure.

People need to learn to tell the truth.

[Mikerotch]

This is all one giant problem.. and was an easily avoidable mess. Rebuilding the secret service back to its prime is a must… thank you ward carroll. I always look forward to your insights they help the young dummies like me out tremendously.

[surferdude]

I am astounded at the sheer gal and incompetence Cheatle showed while on the stand. One wild guess how she landed that job in the first place.
