A counter-sniper sent an email on Monday night to the entire Uniformed Division (excluding agents), stating he will continue speaking out until top supervisors are either fired or reassigned from their current positions.
The counter sniper said the agency “SHOULD expect another assassination attempt” before November and complained that he is no longer proud to be a USSS counter sniper after leadership failed to protect President Trump on July 13.
“This agency NEEDS to change,” the sniper wrote in the email obtained by RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree. “If not now, WHEN? “The NEXT assassination in 30 days?”
“Sadly we have fallen short for YEARS,” the counter sniper wrote. “We just look good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only supervisors (to include the current Captain of CS, but those responsible for training us (SOTS/CS). Only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me.”
“The team I was once proud to be a part of, is something I have to somehow hide as I move into my next career,” the counter sniper continued.
“Who wants to hire a USSS CS guy who failed? That’s the public perception I’m not faced with. The USSS CS team is a stain I will never be able to cleanse.”
“The motto of the USSS…CYA. And every supervisor is doing it right now.”
According to Susan Crabtree, the agency quickly deleted the counter-sniper’s email, which warned of another assassination attempt before November.
Almost no one believes that 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Trump, acted alone.
Crooks did the following all by ‘himself’:
- Flew a drone over the Pennsylvania fairgrounds and got aerial footage of the rally layout on the day of the event – including 2 hours before Trump took the stage.
- Got a range finder through security.
- Evaded law enforcement officers from several different state, local and federal agencies.
- Somehow ‘climbed’ up on a roof with his rifle 450 feet away from Trump, bear crawled to the perfect vantage point as bystanders alerted police and was still able to take 8 shots at Trump.
- Parked a vehicle full of explosives near the Trump rally.
- Crooks was able to walk around the premises after Snipers took a photo of him looking suspicious.
- A sniper located in the second story window was only 40 feet away from Crooks and didn’t neutralize him.
- Trump was still able to take the stage after Crooks was pegged as suspicious by Secret Service.
