Secret Service sniper warns of another assassination attempt
Information comes as Secret Service grilled in U.S. Senate hearing
WASHINGTON D.C. - A Secret Service counter sniper sent an email to the entire Uniformed Division (not agents) expressing his dissatisfaction with leadership and vowing to continue speaking out until five high-level supervisors are either fired or removed from their positions. The sniper warned of another possible assassination attempt before November and criticized the agency's response to the Trump rally in Butler on July 13. He expressed deep disappointment in the leadership and training, stating that he no longer feels proud to be part of the team. The email, which was quickly deleted by the agency, ended with a critique of the agency's current state and the motto "CYA," implying that supervisors are only interested in covering themselves.

It was also revealed that people knew the shooter had a gun on the roof 30 seconds before he fired shots. Despite the knowledge of the man on the roof with the gun Trump was still allowed on stage.
WATCH THE ENTIRE HEARING BELOW:
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was directly involved in denying additional security resources and personnel, including counter snipers, to former President Trump’s rallies and events, despite repeated requests from the agents assigned to Trump’s detail in the two years leading up to the July 13 assassination attempt, according to several sources familiar with the decision-making.
Rowe succeeded former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned last week after bipartisan calls following her controversial testimony before the House Oversight Committee. Both Rowe and Cheatle were implicated in decisions to deny requests for more magnetometers, additional agents, and other resources necessary for screening rallygoers at large, outdoor Trump campaign gatherings.
Sources claim it was Rowe’s decision alone to deny counter sniper teams to any Trump event located outside driving distance from Washington, D.C.
Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate are scheduled to appear Tuesday before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security and Government Affairs committees.
Senators from both parties have pledged to seek answers about the assassination attempt on former President Trump, which resulted in the death of rally-goer Corey Comperatore and wounded two others. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who chairs the Homeland Security panel, said he plans to question Rowe and Abbate on the “litany of gaps and failures.”
“There are monumental, critical questions that so far the leadership in these two agencies have failed to answer or even begin to respond to,” Blumenthal stated.
Sen. Ron Johnson, a senior member of the Homeland Security committee, expressed initial approval of Rowe’s willingness to answer senators’ questions last week but promised to scrutinize his decisions regarding the denial of resources for Trump’s protection.
“I will also hold him fully accountable for being 100% transparent and honest in cooperating with our investigation and oversight,” Johnson said Thursday.
