WASHINGTON, DC - After the attempted assassination of former President Trump on July 13 and in the weeks since, a significant number of Americans are questioning whether the seeming ineptitude of the Secret Service is just that–ineptitude–or if something more sinister is afoot.
That is why an admission last week by Attorney General Merrick Garland is raising some eyebrows especially among those who believe the security breakdown at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania was not accidental. In an appearance on Biden state media MSNBC, Garland made the following statement:
“Our intelligence community has made clear that we believe that the Iranians are attempting to kill or injure former high government officials,” Garland said, according to BizPac Review. “This is an ongoing issue, we have ongoing investigations,” Garland said. “I don’t think we’ve seen the end of Iranian plotting.”
The admission by Garland is actually quite startling, especially considering the fact that if that were indeed the case, the failures by the Secret Service at the Trump rally are even more stunning, given the fact that according to the attorney general, the intelligence community has been and is aware of alleged threats against “former high government officials” by Iran.
Some critics of the Secret Service are questioning the timing of Garland’s admission, claiming it is designed to deflect blame away from the Biden administration’s complicity in the assassination attempt.
“Understand why the Biden-Harris regime is rolling this out: they are pre-emptively trying to lay the blame for the next violent attack on [former President] Trump on someone other than the regime,” Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist wrote on X last week.
“Iran didn’t try to bankrupt Trump, or throw him off the ballot, or put him in prison, or allow a sniper to take an uncontested shot at Trump. Our government did that. Never forget that,” he added.
Garland’s statement is even more disturbing given the fact that a 20-year-old “nerd” from rural Pennsylvania came within a centimeter or two of taking out the Republican nominee for president. Had the shooter instead been a highly trained sniper from a country such as Iran, Russia, or China, we would be having a much different conversation today.
Davis’s tweet got a lot of support:
There is a reason why so many doubt the official government narrative. Recently a Secret Service whistleblower told Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) that the Secret Service left out important steps typically taken to secure an event such as a Trump campaign rally.
“According to one whistleblower, the night before the rally, U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied officers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, under whose jurisdiction the Secret Service falls.
“This means that the technology was both available to USSS and able to be deployed to secure the site. Secret Service said no,” Hawley added.
According to Real Clear Politics investigative reporter Susan Crabtree, she obtained an email sent to the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service from an agency sniper who warned that the agency “SHOULD expect another assassination” on former President Trump before the November election.
“This agency NEEDS to change,” the sniper wrote. “If not now, WHEN? The NEXT assassination in 30 days?”
“Sadly we have fallen short for YEARS. We just look good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only supervisors (to include the current Captain of CS, but those responsible for training us (SOTS/CS). Only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me,” he continued.
