It will be interesting to see how little attention the mainstream media pays to a rather troubling development that Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has brought to light.
Indeed, Hawley has already been one of the most aggressive senators in terms of finding out what on earth happened at Trump’s fateful rally, and he’s become even more aggressive in the wake of a major whistleblower development.
“NEW – Whistleblower tells me local law enforcement partners & suppliers offered drones to Secret Service BEFORE the rally – but Secret Service declined,” Hawley posted on X.
Well then. That’s a sudden twist.
Hawley posted a detailed letter regarding this development, wherein he asked some questions that most definitely need to be answered by the authorities.
“According to reports, the shooter used a drone to survey the site in preparation for his attack. This was confirmed by FBI Director Christopher Wray in his testimony just yesterday. In fact, he confirmed that the shooter was operating the drone approximately two hours before President Trump took the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Hawley noted.
So, in other words, the Secret Service saw nothing amiss with a drone flying above the location of an open-air rally of one of the most controversial candidates in recent history?
Sounds really proactive.
“This raises an obvious question: why was the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) not using its own drones?” Hawley questioned.
Well, that would require the Secret Service to focus on practicalities rather than woke wish lists.
Unfortunately, the Secret Service does not seem so inclined to do so. In fact, they will outright deny requests for help, it would appear.
“According to one whistleblower, the night before the rally, U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally. This means that the technology was both available to USSS and able to be deployed to secure the site. Secret Service said no,” Hawley continued.
Even more amazingly, the Secret Service eventually decided to use drones … after the shooting.
“The whistleblower further alleges that after the shooting took place, USSS changed course and asked the local partner to deploy the drone technology to surveil the site in the aftermath of the attack,” Hawley added.
Just imagine what could have been achieved if the Secret Service had agreed to the use of drones before the shooting unfolded.
How different things could have been.
Alas, they did not, even when offered the technology the night before.
“According to one whistleblower, the night before the rally, U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally. This means that the technology was both available to USSS and able to be deployed to secure the site. Secret Service said no,” Hawley continued.
A rather hard situation to grasp. After all, why would the Secret Service not want all the available resources for protecting a top presidential candidate?
Unless, of course, they were fulfilling other objectives behind the scenes.
“It is hard to understand why USSS would decline to use drones when they were offered, particularly given the fact USSS permitted the shooter to overfly the rally area with his own drone mere hours before the event,” Hawley continued.
Not hard at all if malfeasance is afoot.
“The failure to deploy drone technology is all the more concerning since, according to the whistleblower, the drones USSS was offered had the capability not only to identify active shooters but also to help neutralize them,” Hawley continued.
Except neutralizing the shooter beforehand might be politically inconvenient to the would-be victim’s rival.
Hawley’s letter may be read in its entirety here.
Troubling developments, to say the least. In fact, so troubling that one almost wonders if there was deliberate incompetence, because these mistakes are simply too numerous to make sense … even with an ultra-woke leader.
While the woke leader may have since resigned, the most powerful forces have not, which is precisely why security forces must be as vigilant as ever in all forthcoming Trump rallies.
