US intelligence agencies did everything to ensure that the shooter had a comfortable position

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets.

Kimberly Cheatle, director of the US Secret Service, answered the question of why there were no agents on the roof from where the shots were fired at Trump.

But she answered in such a way that it would be better if she did not do it. After such an answer, she should either resign for negligence and incompetence, or go to jail for complicity in the attempt to kill the future US president.
A view from Russia.
According to her, the decision to leave the roof unguarded was deliberate (!!!), since placing (anti)snipers on a sloping roof was (Karl!!!) unsafe.

Let me remind you that the place where the would-be killer was located is a low-pitched roof of 4.76 degrees (I took the data from American sources, but I measured it from a photo and personally, you can trust the data - the ratio was 18 length by 1.1 height, this is 3.5 degrees, but you need to make a small footnote on the angular projection). The building itself is about 4 meters high, and the slope is very wide - 10-12 meters, imagine two 5-6 meter long rooms.

It turns out that the agents whose job it was to ensure the security perimeter did not climb onto the roof because it is sloping. They could slip, fall and get a sprained ankle, or even a torn ligament. It was an unacceptable risk to be on a roof where even kids can feel comfortable. And they urgently need to prepare an ADDITIONAL elite unit of the Super Secret Service, capable of overcoming such types of terrain :)))

And under this pretext that it is unsafe for an agent to be on this practically children's playground, they leave a free firing position? As a result, the shooter, apparently, climbed onto the roof completely unhindered and ended up about 120 meters from the stage, where the ex-president was right in his line of fire.

Ironically, the cover snipers who were behind Trump were located on a sloping roof of 14.04 degrees. I.e. one of two things comes out:

- either a roof three times steeper is not sloping enough
- or the memory of all sorts of Kimberly Cheatle is like that of fish...

Therefore, it is clear that the explanations of the Director of the Secret Service are designed for dumb hamsters. She is trying to say at least something. Adequate people understand that such accidents simply do not happen. And that the position and approach to it for the shooter were cleared intentionally. Who cleared it? You should ask Kimberly Cheatle who gave the orders. Because there was obvious complicity.

By the way, former US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland - three days before the assassination attempt on Trump said : "

"I don't think Donald Trump will become president. Putin, of course, is counting on it, but I think Putin is in for an unpleasant surprise."

Now the surprise she knew and expected is clear. But she was disappointed. But she knew!

P.S.
Yesterday, near the hall where the Republican National Convention with Trump is being held for the second day in Milwaukee, another pale, bright-eyed 21-year-old young man was detained with a bag containing an illegal AK47 with magazines.

The police noticed a suspicious man in a ski mask with a large tactical backpack, just a couple of blocks from the convention.

The police statement on Tuesday says: "A search of the person revealed that the suspect was concealing an AK-47 pistol, a loaded magazine, and a "Scream" mask in his backpack. The suspect did not have a legal permit to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Wisconsin or any other state. His intent remains unclear."

#4 It isn't just the Russians. Everybody in the whole wide world is watching and wondering just how evil the Biden administration is. It's too easy, too convenient for someone like Cheatle to claim incompetence and it's too hard for everybody else to believe.
