WASHINGTON, D.C. — It took two days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump for the Secret Service to finally break its silence on the massive security failure that was last Saturday afternoon. Since then, more details continue to emerge that put the entire security debacle into further question on whether or not there is competent leadership in the U.S. Secret Service.
The latest focuses on a sloped roof as the cause for the U.S. Secret Service's failure to secure the building where the shooter grazed Trump and killed another bystander with his shots.
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, an appointment by the current administration in the White House, put out a statement July 15 about the events that unfolded in Butler, Pennsylvania, two days earlier.
“The Secret Service is working with all involved Federal, state and local agencies to understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again,” Cheatle said. “We understand the importance of the independent review announced by President Biden yesterday and will participate fully. We will also work with the appropriate Congressional committees on any oversight action.”

Since the statement came out, several major media outlets across the country have interviewed Cheatle to try to understand the level of incompetence displayed by the Secret Service that day. The newest information out on the internet came from an interview between Cheatle and ABC. The question on everyone’s mind was asked point blank. Should that road have been secured? Her answer shocked and angered many.
“That building, in particular, had a sloped roof at its highest point,” Cheatle reasoned. “There is a safety factor that would be considered where we would not want to put anyone up there on a sloped roof. So, the decision was made to secure the building from the inside.”
If that was the actual reason why the eventual shooter was allowed to get into position to take a shot at President Trump, then it isn’t a good one. The counter-sniper unit that eventually took out the shooter was also on a sloped roof. In fact, the slope was steeper on the roof the counter-sniper unit was on than on the building where the shooter executed his plan.
There are many calls for Cheatle’s recognition at this point in time, but as of yet, she’s having none of it.

Who proof reads anymore!!! Resignation not recognition.... either way we aren't buying their lies! There's a reason why Mayorkas declined to give Trump more protection and a reason why they dropped the Mar a lago case. They wanted Trump available for assassination and not in court! No drones no helicopters hell the teams of law enforcement were even on different radio frequencies! This story stinks of LIES
