It should not take 3 weeks to figure out how they failed! This guy is covering too! It’s not even worth listening to - he is saying they don’t know what went wrong - ITS ALL BS

[teotronia]

stop letting authority offer apologies in lieu of accountability. they left an active threat alone for over an hour. they wanted something to happen

[JDubbyDubby]

These guys come up with the weirdest jargon to explain the most mundane simple job. They failed to protect a former president. I mean it’s insane.

[prairiedog]

Weak excuses, too hot, sloping roof, can’t figure out the right radio frequencies, hard to work with local law enforcement. He acts like this was the their first mission. He is covering up the truth. Someone outside the SS must conduct the investigation into this catastrophic failure.

You’re the one that needs to be held accountable because you are the head of it all

[maybe]

Who is going to hold this man accountable? He is working pretty well to keep his job can't you see?

[DPayne-xb]

He's telling lies people in the crowd pointed out the shooter on the roof to the police and the secret service they even videoed the shooter laying on the roof on their cell phones

“Secret Service agents shielded Trump with their 5’ 3” bodies”…. For God’s sake, WHY aren’t there HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS?!?

[RonHolmes-jq]

Dude we have been Lied to for decades. talk has NO meaning. Action will prove your salt.

[michellehicks]

WHAT A CROCK OF SHAT, I have been to many hot rallies and he is not at all honest! But they didn't expect to be called out, 🙄 you assisted with trying to unalive our president!

[mamalovesthebeach]

Professional? This whole thing was a debacle. The sooner the Secret Service takes full responsibility, acknowledges their failures, and makes immediate adjustments things can then progress into a real investigation.

[tomthelen]

It is almost “impossible” to fire any of these individuals without giving them a forum to present their side and possibly implicating their superiors? Basically, why should we trust you to even come close to the truth?

[jackmaher]

This guys only job right now is to obfuscate and cover up. Still not giving answers to any pertinent questions. Drag it out until people lose interest or some other major story comes about.

[matthewn]

From blaming local law enforcement to thanking them, it’s unacceptable.

[tomthelen]

So why not just bring in enough encrypted radios for ALL the law enforcement members involved?

[sixfiftyfive]

What does the Office Of Integrity have in their Table Of Penalties for "protectee shot in head"?

[happymountainhippy]

Why didn't he mention Kennedy now receiving protection too?

[RPGmvp]

such a strong defensive speech, you don't look strong just because your raise your voice, do better

[Basketball-]

The officers just got the orders so they shouldn’t be fired but their boss needs to be replaced first.

[jamesneeley]

This is the biggest load, the guy says oh it was outside of our secure area but we should have covered that roof. Okay so why even say that? If that is the case then whoever was incharge needs to be fired for not covering all the threat areas.
