Iranian plot against Donald Trump detected by U.S. intelligence

CBS News has learned U.S. intelligence officials detected an Iranian plot against former President Donald Trump before Trump's rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. There's no information, however, suggesting the threat was connected to the assassination attempt on Trump at the rally. CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinograd has more.

Interesting how they can detect an Iranian plot, but not immediate threats less than 200 yards away.

Yet the intelligence could not detect a 20-year-old kid within 400 feet. 😂

If the Secret Service can’t stop a 20 year old loner…

Now you want to blame Iran? We've seen this script before, it was called Weapons of Mass destruction and the country was Iraq.

BUT THEY CANNOT DETECT A 20 YEAR OLD KID

More worried about blackrock than iran.

Brought to you by the same people who told us Iraq had WMDs

[rawdawg]

Im not buying it, this is a distraction

[emirsaracevic]

they can uncover invisible threat but not visible guy on roof with rifle...

[Cyfix]

We know Iran is not the threat. Nice try

[aliasrose]

Trying to distract from what happened? I don't think the Iranians did it.

[gilbeggergilbegger]

they can detect Iranian plots...but not 20 years olds with a ladder on a slightly slanted roof

Does this woman realize how bogus she sounds stating what should be the obvious! People aren't stupid!

[SuperBoomshack]

This is all a terrible attempt at diverting attention from the secret service failures

[Nm-cozp]

After looking at the comments. I’m glad the American people aren’t as stupid as the media thinks they are

[pbstinebiz]

In other words, they were laying the groundwork to blame it on Iran.

LOL!!! Try to distract us from the Secret Service failure. Won't work.

[anthonymurdock]

They think we're dumb, setting the stage, but couldn't see a 20 year old from 150 meters

[cutiepatootie]

Lol. they detected it days before the rally and still could not detect a kid on a roof 200 yards away? total bs distraction

[brandymahoney]

I wouldn’t trust MSM if they told me it was hot in Phoenix.
