Secret Service Admits Drone System was Down, Shooter Also Had Drone

Catherine Herridge, reporter, exposed some serious issues on Tuesday.

The Secret Service chief admitted a few things while testifying.

And there was the shocking detail about a drone operated by the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks.

How was he able to operate a drone?

Were they telling the truth or did this drone belong to someone else?

Catherine Herridge posted the following clip:

“Director testified Crooks drone was up at (3:50) for about 11 minutes”

INCOMPREHENSIBLE

.@JohnCornyn “Do you have the capacity to stop a weaponized drone?”

Acting @SecretService Director, “On this day, the counter UAS system had technical difficulties and did not go operational until til after 5 o’clock.”

I said it when it happened. The shot came from above and behind, maybe from a drone. https://t.co/b6O1nuJ4Vm

ABC News reports:

Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate faced a grilling from lawmakers about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.

The two officials testified before a Senate panel on Tuesday about security arrangements at the site and the status of ongoing investigations into what occurred both on July 13 and in the days leading up to the shooting.

New details have emerged about the shooting, including a potential social media account owned by the shooter and questions about when the Secret Service first saw the gunman on the roof. Officials have also confirmed, after the FBI director’s ambiguous comments last week raised questions about what struck Trump, that the former president was hit by a bullet.

Rowe told lawmakers he was “ashamed” of the protection failures that day and said he visited the site of the shooting as one of his first acts as acting director.

“I went to the roof of the AGR building where the assailant fired shots and laid in a prone position to evaluate his line of sight. What I saw made me ashamed,” Rowe said in his opening statement. “As a career law enforcement officer, and a 25-year veteran with the Secret Service, I cannot defend why that roof was not better secured.”

Drone system was down, Rowe says it could’ve prevented shooting

The acting Secret Service director said that if cellular capability was better on July 13, they could’ve launched a counter drone system sooner and potentially stopped the attack.

It is “something that has cost me a lot of sleep because of the eventual outcome of the assailant,” Rowe said.

The countering drone system was down for about two hours and went back online at 5 p.m., Rowe testified.

The gunman flew his own drone near the site hours before the shooting.

Here’s a clip that possibly shows a drone during the assassination attempt on July 13th:

New Angle From The Day Of The Donald Trump Attempted Assassination Posted

It appears that an object, maybe a small drone was flying pretty close. Was this someone with prior knowledge trying to film a better angle of the shooting? pic.twitter.com/XaqIBNA7BZ

If you were Deep State, would you rely on some kid to take the kill shot?

Or would you use a drone?

And get a kid to go on the roof with a rifle to appear as if he was the one that took the shot?
