A preliminary report into the first assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump points to a “consecutive failure” by the U.S. Secret Service, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says. Rep. (R-Kentucky) said during an appearance. Breitbart News Daily.
Paul, a member of the Homeland Security Committee who helped write the report, said the report lists “a litany of failures by the Secret Service.”
“So there wasn't just one error. It was all wrong from start to finish, from the preparation to the day to the minutes before. “I think it's unforgivable because it led to a tragic death,” he said, referring to the tragic death of Cory Comperatore, a Pennsylvania firefighter, husband and father. To protect my family from gunfire.
Paul said that while the first assassination attempt nearly cost Trump his life, there was another assassination attempt two months later.
“We still don't have a full investigation. In the second assassination, we know that the man sat for 12 hours polishing the weapon, preparing the weapon, aiming the gun, and we know that the second assassination involved a man sitting for 12 hours polishing the weapon, preparing the weapon, aiming the gun, and that the second assassination involved a man sitting for 12 hours polishing the weapon, preparing the weapon, and aiming the gun. I was at it for 30 days looking for a shot to escape,” the senator said. .
“So there's a level of incompetence that's beyond common sense. And you know, they have to do better. And we insist on making mistakes and replacing people who make mistakes.” He continued, saying he hasn't seen anything yet to suggest anything other than gross incompetence at this point, but it's hard to tell what's going on in people's minds. Are you there?

“I've never seen anything other than incompetence. Part of it is that it's hard to judge what's in a person's mind. So, for example, about four to four years before Butler came along. For six months, the Trump campaign as well as the Trump Secret Service had been asking for more security.One of the things they were asking for was a counter-sniper, which they had repeatedly been denied, so there's no room for judgment. “But were those counter-snipers heading for the spouses of other candidates? I think so,” he said.
“Maybe those counter-snipers were just in Washington and attended someone's event? Probably, but they're not giving us that information. Since Mr. Butler, we've had six “For weeks, we have been asking what security requests have been submitted, what have been denied, who was denying them, and why.” I pointed out that I had asked a question. He has this information.
“He looked across the table and I said, 'Did you see this information?' Find out what was requested, why it was denied, and who denied it. Have you looked it up?'' He said, “Yes.'' I said, “Why aren't we receiving it?'' We asked six weeks ago, and it's a rare occasion when we actually get assistance, but the bipartisan Republican “And Democrats are adamant that they should have this information,” he said.
Nevertheless, Paul said everyone can be thankful that a counter-sniper happened to be in Butler that day.
“Imagine what the outcome would have been if they weren't there. The shooter came up and fired a few shots, but then he kept going. Instead of eight shots, it would be 18 shots, or maybe 28 shots. Maybe, and maybe when Donald Trump rises again, he'll have the Secret Service, or, you know, maybe he'll get more bullets showered on him, and that's what's going to happen. Paul said, expressing disgust that his requests had been denied “month after month.”

“Is it an honest mistake or an intentional mistake? I think it's honest, but it needs to be fixed. Either way, we achieved it, we can do a better job.” “There must be,” he added.
