We continue to hear troubling things about the failures of security around the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
The media may want to brush the incident to the side as ABC did during the debate, but even Democrats like Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are troubled by what they are hearing. After he was in a meeting with Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, he said that we would be shocked and appalled not only by what we will hear about Secret Service failures, but that we should also be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to provide information. He said that they were going to insist upon the truth and they would have a report soon on it all.

Astonished’ by Failures Revealed in J13 Report
Now, there’s another bombshell that was just delivered from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Jesse Watters’ show. Hawley has been in contact with whistleblowers, and they told him that the lead Secret Service agent who had been in charge that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, failed one or more of her training exams and was “known not to be a top quality agent.”

She FAILED a key exam, but disgraced former director Kim Cheatle promoted her anyway. Now Homeland Security is telling the Secret Service to cover… pic.twitter.com/iYG6Elw4Y7

Hawley said the pattern that was emerging from whistleblowers was that the rally that day was “undermanned, understaffed, they did not have people who had experience on it.”
“The fact that the director will not level with the American people about what’s going here is just totally unacceptable and unbelievable,” Hawley declared.
Watters referenced Cheatle’s plan to have 30 percent female recruits by 2030. He was incensed that Cheatle would then put this agent in charge anyway in Butler “knowing there was an Iranian threat” against Trump.
Hawley said she was in charge of the whole trip and all the planning for the event.
On top of what he said they were telling him from the internal Secret Service investigation, the DHS was telling them not to comply with document requests to Congress. That’s incredibly problematic, and if that’s true, anyone involved in that needs to be held accountable and further exposed.
Hawley called it “outrageous.” Watters called it “confirmed” that there was a “cover-up going on.”
Hawley said that he didn’t think the acting director was leveling with them.
But it raises the question: What do they think those documents will reveal? And is that problem they don’t want Congress to know about still continuing? Could it still expose Trump and other Secret Service protectees to further danger?
Even Melania Trump found the silence on the assassination attempt incredible, saying we needed to get to the bottom of it.
