No Drone Surveillance? Shocking Secret Service Failures In Trump Assassination Attempt

Roger Stone and Slingshot.news Editor-in-Chief Troy Smith review the bombshell bipartisan report by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee which details multiple failures by the Secret Service on July 13th at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Stone had previously reported that two offers to conduct advance drone surveillance of the rally location by local police had been declined by the Secret Service, yet today's report documents the fact that the Secret Service had trouble with their own Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) drone technology, seeking tech support from the company that manufactured the technology.

The new Senate report also documents that investigators found that there was no clear chain of command among the Secret Service and other security agencies and no plan for coverage of the building where the shooter climbed up to fire the shots.

Stone also points out that those responsible for protecting President Trump knew there was a man with a gun inside the sealed perimeter of the rally, who had been seen using a range finder for 92 minutes but never informed President Trump or his detail, and therefore the president was not evacuated form the location which would be normal Secret Service protocol.

Troy Smith raises questions about the recently charged West Palm Beach would-be assassin Ryan Routh, who while being unable to make his child support payments and purportedly having a failed business, was somehow able to post websites seeking to recruit mercenary soldiers to fight in Ukraine, visit Ukraine, and somehow travel to Florida.

Stone and Smith also discuss the Harris campaign's increasing desperation for another debate with President Trump, and Stone defends Trump's decision not to debate Harris again based on the high probability that there is no news outlet that would not —much like ABC— seek to manipulate the debate to the advantage of Harris. Stone points out that Harris likely memorized her entire debate presentation based on advance knowledge of either the questions or, at a minimum, an outline of the topics to be discussed.

Stone and Smith also laugh about an interview with the increasingly bitter Hillary Clinton, who claims to be advising Harris on how to defeat Trump—"How would she know?" Stone asks.
