The new acting director of the United States Secret Service (USSS) just admitted that Secret Service agents were not operating customary radios on July 13, the day of Donald Trump's assassination attempt rally in Butler, Penn.
Instead of implementing the usual protocol for communications, Secret Service instead set up a Walkie-Talkie system with local law enforcement – except Secret Service never actually joined the frequency.
It turns out that the only communications method Secret Service used on July 13 was text messages via cellular devices. This allowed Secret Service to keep all communications in house, so to speak, rather than let their deeds be known publicly on the airwaves.
This is so bad..

Smoke and mirrors
As local law enforcement was going about its duties on July 13, Secret Service agents were apparently playing on their phones. As such, Trump ended up becoming a target, as the world now knows.
It was local law enforcement that spotted a suspicious person with a "rangefinder" creeping around the American Glass Research (AGR) building near Trump's rally. They were the ones who notified Secret Service that there appeared to be a problem.
Secret Service's response to being notified by Pennsylvania police that someone was potentially putting Trump at risk was to wait a full eight minutes before finally getting around to texting the Secret Service counter sniper team.
It turns out that Secret Service was also supposed to attend a joint meeting with local law enforcement on the morning on July 13. That meeting was canceled at the last minute by nobody seems to know quite yet.
"It's all smoke and mirrors," wrote someone on X. "Who planned it and with whom did they plan it ... that's the only question. Anything else is smoke and mirrors."
"How is this possible in 2024 outside of planned negligence?" asked another.
There are many who now believe that Thomas Matthew Crooks is not even the same guy who was retrieved from the AGR building's rooftop – so who did they kill?
"This is to distract us from the fact that it wasn't even Crooks," one wrote on X. "It was Maxwell Yearick and I'll bet he was dead before the eight shots. So who shot? How many shooters were there?"
The details that continue to emerge about the assassination attempt on Trump are reminding some people of 9/11, including someone on X who described this whole situation as feeling "kinda like a 9/11 setup."
The more cynical element of X expects absolutely nothing to happen to any of the perpetrators involved, regardless of how many congressional hearings are held as show.
"Thank God there are so many hearings and condemnations happening," one wrote. "It will help soothe the people who are paying attention when no punishments or repercussions are actually handed down. First rate political theater."
It sounds as though Secret Service is supposed to, and normally does, use encrypted portable radios for communications. Why did they not have these on and in use on July 13 unless this was a planned operation?
"They are assigned to agents that must physically sign for them," someone suggested on X about how this works. "How did they not have this in their kit?"
