The shocking suspension of six Secret Service agents tied to the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, has reignited fury over the agency’s glaring security lapses. While the identities of the suspended personnel remain undisclosed, Fox News host Jesse Watters confirmed the disciplinary action, revealing that the agents were suspended without pay for up to six weeks before being reassigned to restricted duty roles with diminished responsibilities.
CBS News reported Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn’s weak attempt at damage control, stating, “We aren’t going to fire our way out of this… We’re going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation.” Quinn admitted, “Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler… Butler was an operational failure.” But accountability without transparency is meaningless—especially when the life of a former and potentially future President was on the line.
The assassination attempt on July 13, 2024, exposed catastrophic breakdowns in security. Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks managed to climb onto a rooftop near Trump’s rally, scope his target, and fire multiple shots—one grazing Trump’s ear, killing one rallygoer, and wounding two others. How did this happen? Because the Secret Service ignored every warning sign.
Crooks had flown a drone over the fairgrounds earlier that day, during a period when the Secret Service was experiencing “connectivity issues.” Yet, no one acted. Even worse, as The Washington Post reported, agents never instructed local police to secure the roof Crooks used as his sniper’s nest.
Radio Silence: A Deadly Mistake
Perhaps the most damning evidence of incompetence comes from bodycam footage showing a Butler Township police officer furious that his warnings about Crooks were ignored. Why? Because the Secret Service never picked up their radios.

“Before you motherfckers came up here, I popped my head up there like an idiot by myself, dude,”* the officer raged. “Then he turned around and I fcking dropped, and I started fcking calling out, ‘Bro, fcking on top of the roof.’ Fcking, we’re not on the same frequency?”
This wasn’t just negligence—it was a dereliction of duty. The liberal media, however, has downplayed these failures, focusing instead on hollow reassurances from Quinn rather than demanding answers. Where is the outrage over the near-murder of a President? Where are the calls for a full, independent investigation?
President Trump, ever resilient, survived this cowardly attack and has continued fighting for the American people. But the fact remains: this should never have happened. The Secret Service’s failures put Trump and hundreds of innocent Americans in danger. While suspensions are a start, true accountability means terminations, criminal investigations, and a complete overhaul of the agency’s leadership.
The American people deserve to know: Who dropped the ball? And why are they still on the payroll?
You should be a part of a contest for one of the highest quality sites on the web.
I most certainly will highly recommend this web site!
I still say with confidence that the left failed in 3 attempts on the president’s life, ask John F Kennedy how he feels. No one and I mean NO ONE should have accessed that roof top, and no one and I mean NO ONE should have had access to the hedgerow along the golf course AND to know at the last minute that President Trump decided to golf on that particular course. If you looked further (but you won’t because it would implicate those in high places) you would put it all together and find all 3 attempts (3rd was stopped before it was set up) came from the Democratic regime, because of all the public threats from Democratic congressional leaders it tells everyone that their final goal is to kill President Trump and now they no longer hide it and the scariest fact is that nothing is ever said or done to those in high political positions tells me they
( will do what ever it takes to remove him from office ) and that there have been so many of these threats to him from these politicians that those who oversee these no longer even care what is said..
The Democratic party has gotten so dangerous to the security of our nation and its officials that threatening the life of the president (is no big deal ) let me also add we have CCP players involved in all the chaos and the physical violence against officers doing their jobs fulfilling Trump’s orders..the cash needed to pull off the attacks also are without a doubt is provided by the Chinese Socialist communist party…prove me wrong! All I can say is due to the inability of DOJ to do their job I am locked and loaded because this country is going to implode and the fuse will be lit by the Democratic party especially Hillary, Piglosi, AOC, Waters, Obama, Schiff Schumer, Jeffries and the 2 other Anti Americans who support Hamas, Palestinians, ISIS and hate Christians, Jews.
The Dark party will make their move soon and so will I along with all the other Patrioticaly Correct Deplorable Veteran infidels..
