(Congress Report) – A sniper who works for the Secret Service has issued a warning that there could be another assassination attempt on a presidential candidate any time now before the general election as the one that failed against former President Donald Trump exposed the weakness and incompetency of the Secret Service. The warning came via a letter with a rather scathing tone that is now being passed around at the agency.
“This agency NEEDS to change, if not now, WHEN? The NEXT assassination attempt in 30 days?” the letter proclaimed, which was first published by RealClearPolitics and is being shared in a report from the New York Post. “We all SHOULD expect another attempt to happen before November. We’ve exposed our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership.”
Law enforcement authorities have spoken with the NY Post and verified the letter’s authenticity. It was sent out to folks in the USSS Uniformed Division, which is the police force for the agency, charged with securing the White House. The sniper who authored the letter then called for the resignation of high-level supervisors. The author accused these leaders of failing the “rank-and-file” staff who work for the Secret Service.
“Sadly we have fallen short for YEARS. We just got lucky and looked good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only supervisors … Only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me,” the letter continued. “Secret Service SUPERVISORS ‘knew better’ and the foot soldiers working, made the best of a BAD situation.”

“It went on to say that the reputation of the Secret Service and all its agents had been marred by the failures of July 13, which resulted in Trump being shot in the ear and a hero firefighter behind him being killed. The sniper said the day was ‘a stain I will never be able to cleanse,'” the NY Post noted. “The identity of the counter-sniper who wrote the letter is unclear. They described themselves as a veteran of the Marine Corps, and a member of Secret Service’s counter-sniper team for more than 20 years.”
Massive scrutiny has fallen upon the Secret Service ever since the assassination attempt on Trump last month. And rightfully so. When you examine all of the evidence, statements from witnesses, and video footage, there are only two explanations for how this happened. Incompetence or an inside job. Those are the only two ways Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old failed marksman with no military experience, could have possibly out-smarted the USSS.
“The acting Secret Service director said Tuesday agents were never warned that Crooks was on the roof with a rifle. Meanwhile, newly revealed footage from the site of the shooting showed local cops encircling the building he shot from for more than two minutes before the attack, reinforcing that baffling question. Local police were in charge of the grounds from where Crooks fired, but the Secret Service was ultimately in charge of coordinating the day’s security,” the piece concluded.

We greatly admire you DJT. They want you dead, out of the race, and elliminated-too much $ to lose with you in control. USSS never failed-it was on purpose!! Please be careful, we want you to win so very much!
Poor deluded neighbor!!! Such a martyr.
Can we just get right to the bottom line? Which is Iran and their favorite daughter v jarrett and OBAMA…..
Huh?
The sniper’s letter contains one glaring error that I can see readily. He blames leadership for protection failure. But in an agency that depends on each individual to contribute to a total protection project, the ordinary sniper, driver, body man/woman, and planner is also at fault for loopholes. When a plan comes together ( apologies to the A-Team ), it should be the sum of all participants and typically more. We are all aware of the off duty let downs of Secret Service discipline (in the carousing, womanizing, and drinking) but cold sober logic means everyone contributes to total protection. Let’s see that it happens so everyone at every level within a protection unit (or protection needy person) gets the best of everyone’s thinking. No pointing of fingers although top management must step up to take the blame in any case.
