The House panel tasked with investigating the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is beginning its work in earnest with a slew of letters sent to federal agencies requesting documents and other information regarding security failures during the Pennsylvania campaign rally last month. The task force, which was established shortly after the assassination attempt, sent letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. requesting documents and briefings from the agencies regarding the shooting. The letters seek to establish the task force as the primary investigative body even as a handful of House committees have opened their own inquiries into the matter

That certainly was a complete failure to protect Mr Trump ! I've worked over two dozen Security Details to include Presidents Nixon, Bush Senior and Bush Jr., President Reagan as well as two US Vice Presidents, the Presidents of Mexico, South Vietnam, Russia and Tanaka the Prime Minister of Japan, Other details for wife's including Nancy Reagan, Madan Chang Kai Sheik, Republic of China/Taiwan and Mrs. Gorbachev, Wife of the Russian President. NEVER was there a failure to cover any spot a shot could be taken from. We even had people on High hills or building on the opposite side of runways where a potential shot could be taken. This was all done in connection with My Air Force Security Police duties and included working directly with the US Secret service, (plainclothes as well as their uniform branch, OSI, other Federal agencies and even the secret service from other countries. One of the details though Vice President Dan Quail charged into the crowd, almost knocked Me off my feet and never even bothered to say excuse Me. (He didn't impress Me much anyway)
I have had the experience while working a perimeter post Tower but from a single shot in the dark at Da Nang Vietnam in 1968 of having a bullet pass within an inch of My ear. I could hear it pass and also a bullet hole appeared in the canvass sheet hung about two fee behind where I was standing. The shot was taken from approx one mile away from a tree line located across a rice paddy. The canvas I guess broke up the lighting behind Me so I could not be seen as well and I guess contributed to saving My life. I used a starlight scope mounted on the perimeter post tower but was unable to pick up any view of the shooter and there wasn't a 2nd shot taken. I hadn't though about that for a while until a shot was taken at President Trump and passed by His ear but from a lot closer range. In my case though at least My ear wasn't hit and I didn't even have a minor injury.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - Thank You SMGT Lawrence McCarter, for your dedication to protecting lives that depended on You, & others in the squad with You. I am now very concerned at the present thinking, Well the bullet missed MR TRUMP, so it all turned out ok, BS! The man could have been murdered, & I for one am not satisfied as to the idea, that all is ok. Its not ok when a former President is on a campaign, & someone decides to take a shot at You because they don't like what You are saying. After a week had gone by, the media, finally, came out & said they had some info prior to the shooting that was revelent to the shooter, My question is why didn't those who had this info say something before the actual event?? To my thinking, that may be a criminal act.??

As a footnote, I was stationed in BERGENFELD GE, on the day that PRESIDENT KENNEDY
was assassinated in Dallas, working midshifts, & at first, I thot well, we are at war, because, KRUSCHEV had missiles situated on the Island of CUBA, this was after Kennedy placed a blockade around CUBA, I was somewhat relieved to know that was from an assassins rifle in downtown Dallas. However, even today, WE still do NOT know exactly what happened, or who exactly was involved!

The DOJ in this matter is throwing bones out but no meat. From what I have read they say that the investigation is ongoing so they cannot say much, I smell a coverup.

Yes, for about $150,000., or more! And to think about a one way trip to LA LA land!

If It Smells As Bad As A SKUNK,
It's Either An Attempted Cover-Up Or

I fear this investigation will be an act straight out of Macbeth. It ...“is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.”
