Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said he was told by an “irreproachable source” that the rooftop where Thomas Crooks shot former President Donald Trump on Saturday was supposedly occupied, but that person never showed up.
Bongino made the bombshell revelation Tuesday on Rumble Live’s “Triggered” podcast at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee with host Donald Trump Jr., billionaire David Sacks and media mogul Tucker Carlson.
“Can I give you some news on your program?” he began.
Bongino then told the panel that the Biden administration and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas threatened to fire Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle if she ever told anyone about these egregious errors.
“According to my source, that roof was supposedly a police post… Someone was supposed to be there,” he said.

Trump shooter bypassed Secret Service security with a gun as tragedy looks even worse
“Now they are making excuses saying that the roof was tilted (it was tilted, so there was no staff at the station). My source tells me that nobody knows why the pole did not appear. But that is a nonsense story that they are publishing in the media.
“I was also told that the director of the Secret Service was instructed by the administration and the secretary of DHS: ‘If you want to keep your job, you’re going to have to keep your mouth shut about this.’”
Bongino then told the former president’s son: “They are not publishing that. But if you get those records of publications from the site and those police instructions and there was a post there and they didn’t appear and nobody checked, someone could have killed your father.”
Are you with Trump?
It seems increasingly likely that the attempted assassination of Trump was plagued by a series of egregious and inexcusable security failures that resulted in the tragic death of an innocent bystander.
Disturbing theories have emerged on social media following the shooting at Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. And frankly, none of the “excuses” or scapegoats being put forward by the Secret Service and corporate media make much sense.
Please tell me this isn’t real.
So @Secret Service You didn’t put anyone on the roof because they might fall?

Yeah, the slope of that roof seems really risky to put a Secret Service agent on.
Look how precarious it is for those guys to stay on their feet. They can barely stay alive without falling over.
It’s too risky. image.twitter.com/fDpoq71UdR

“Iranian plot to assassinate Trump” is code for “We’ll try to kill him again, blame Iran, and start a war. Two birds with one metaphorical stone.”

Anyone who thinks Iran is responsible for the assassination attempt on Trump is a complete idiot.

The same office that investigated the Las Vegas shooting and the January 6 pipe bombings is now investigating the attempted assassination of Trump.
This is also the same office that Mar-a-Lago raided.
I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of this soon.

Remarkably, no one has been fired from the Secret Service so far, despite the agency’s criminal negligence in failing to secure the venue where the 45th president spoke.
If it is not already painfully obvious, the United States, under the disastrous presidency of Joe Biden, has been an abject failure on every level.
