Actively communicating with a number of former colleagues from the Secret Service about the assassination attempt.
This is an obviously catastrophic failure and NO excuses should be made, or even attempted.
The failures are profound and questions must be answered about ground surveillance, air surveillance, post-stander support, and counter-sniper advance work and response.
We have ONE job, and we came within inches of a deadly failure today. An uneventful failure is NOT a success.
I would like to say a prayer for all the spouses of military or law enforcement who are alone or raising a family alone due to the death of your spouse in the line of duty. It is a debt we owe you that can never be paid.
May the Grace and Peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with your family.
God Bless you and may He see to your needs and keep you safe.
Amen
