If only you knew how deep the incompetence goes.

In the ongoing investigation into the Butler shooting (which I thought Tucker said was nixed?), the Department of Homeland Security says a Secret Service member was actively googling the rooftop location where shooter Matthew Crooks was perched.

Here's the Post:

A Secret Service counter drone operator futilely searched the internet for the location of the rooftop President Trump's would-be assassin was spotted on as shots rang out at the July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report released Thursday.

This guy is supposed to be an elite operator who understands the terrain … and he was using Google.

The report concluded Secret Service 'missed multiple opportunities to detect, prevent, and disrupt' deranged gunman Thomas Crooks' attempted assassination of Trump, including shocking communications failures that resulted in the president's protective detail never being warned that an armed man had climbed onto the American Glass Research International (AGR) complex's roof just 155 yards from the stage.

Shots were ringing out and a Secret Service agent was googling "rooftop locations near me, not sloped" or whatever 😭

The ineptitude of America's finest is truly astounding.

At 6:09 p.m., local law enforcement called the Secret Service and Pennsylvania State Police communications room 'warning them of a suspicious person on the AGR complex's roof,' according to the damning DHS report.

However, the Secret Service communications room supervisor and the agency's counter drone operator 'did not ask for the AGR complex's location …. did not immediately identify it as a risk' and the supervisor did not even 'recall learning that the suspicious person was on the roof' because he had ‘delegated communications about the suspicious person to the counter drone operator because it was a "busy time" on Secret Service radios and the counter drone operator was sitting near him and offered to help," the 64-page report continued.

Not knowing where the rooftop was situated relative to the rally site, the Secret Service counter drone operator apparently resorted to Google.

My goodness.

More people need to be fired.

EVERYONE needs to be fired.
