They'd more or less land in the same area then. Well, they say one person dead and two critically injured. Maybe by more bullet than one each. Let's see what they say (hopefully) once they investigate.

DAMNING FACTS: 1) Single adjacent nearby Roof not secured. 2) Gunman allowed access to site (likely in a vehicle) with a weapon, not detected. 3) gunman climbs up building to roof, with rifle visible, not detected. 4) multiple people witness gunman ascending building and shout warnings to police and secret serve for several minutes, no response. Trump IS allowed to continue to speak. 5) Secret Service snipers see suspected assassin armed with rifle on nearby roof. There is some delay in receiving authorization to kill. The delay results in assassin being able to fire at least 3 and perhaps 8 shots.

Really poor performance.

"Really poor performance." - I wouldn't exactly call it that. They did everything right. From their standpoint the poor performance was by the guy. He was supposed to kill Trump.

That's a logical inference from that fact pattern, but I do not go there.

It's a Roshomon event - so many anomalies support at least 3 contradictory and plausible interpretations: 1) staged by Trump; 2) Deep state assassination; 3) lone inane gunman and incompetence by SS

so why not go there? i think 1 is the least likely. that would be extremely risky for Trump.

That exchange happened long ago. If you check out his most recent comments I think you'll figure out why. At least I think I have.

Yes R-Bot, my thinking evolves as I am made aware of evidence.

he seems to think it is possible Trump staged this, but not Biden or his handlers, because he wants to believe it

Secret Service snipers were firing away from the crowd, so highly likely that victims shot by assassin.
