Acting Secret Service director reveals new details about what went wrong at Trump rally

The new man in charge of the U.S. Secret Service held a press conference on Friday about the rally.

[RestoreJustice]

So secret service not have communications with local police? SECRET SERVICE BLEW IT PERIOD!

[icehouse]

I watched the congress hearings. And the police told the ss that they were a person of interest almost an hour before. So who's lying 🤔

[SuperCoopdogg]

No fuc&ing radios? My 5yo son could prepare and plan better than them with his spiderman walkie talkies

[lisascott]

This is not new information. Also he did not say who was accountable. They’re not saying anything. This is terrible reporting

[tanthony]

Your telling me in 2024 Secret Service snipers don't have ear piece radios?

[henthrone]

So who has been fired for this colossal failure?’

[riftraft]

They knew about the threat for 2 hours.
The pa state police had an officer with a radio in the secret service command post, and the pa trooper said on live TV that he told the secret service about the threat.
This guy is as full off Bullschett as his old boss.

He is trying to drag it out with circle talk until it just goes away,

[traitorhatergetarope]

The name of the Agency says it all. It is a secret to what their service includes. They dont even know.

[frankmueller]

The counter snipers could only text each other ? Are you serious ? You have a 2 Bn dollar annual budget. Go to Target and pick up a few walky talkies ! This is so ridiculous. The entire SS leadership needs to be fired

[cynthiastewart]

The secret service is lying they were notified according to the information the police gave. Hold them accountable. You are letting them off the hook!!!

[gleysiwest]

To leave a post open is perhaps feasible, but to leave a post open, have radio traffic, to turn down drones, sounds like a plot to me

[gleysiwest]

When you see something that is beyond abnormal, it’s a script

[marcusmeddow]

"The director is appointed by, and serves at the pleasure of, the PRESIDENT of the United States, and is not subject to Senate confirmation". Now what could possibly be wrong with his appointment????

[jeremycrisp]

They weren't actively searching. They knew where he was

[DB-oswl]

It’s amazing how quickly this seems to be falling off of media coverage….

[zimnizzle]

They knew he was there an hour before. They testified to this during the congressional hearing. So he’s either lying or SS went out of their way to deliberately put forth maximum effort to avoid communicating with local police because they did not “want to know” there was an active and present threat.

[kenrobison]

Dereliction of duty the team should be removed and retrained.

[frankmueller]

Why are they still hiding the Special agent in charge !? Should he not be answering for his shortfalls ?

[paulkoepfinger]

So this acting director bounces back and forth about blaming local LEO's and that SS should have been better. More Yō Yō BS

[michellestlicitra]

At least he acknowledges incompetence ❗️❗️❗️
