Much has been written about the Secret Service’s failure to secure the rooftop of the most obvious sniper hide in the area of Donald Trump. There are two possible conclusions: (1) From the lowest ranking agent present, to present supervisors, to the Director, the Secret Service (SS) is unbelievably incompetent. Or (2) the SS at some level or levels, perhaps on its own or acting on direction from above, was doing all it could to create vulnerabilities with plausible deniability, vulnerabilities they hoped someone would exploit to kill Donald Trump. A related possibility is they were creating those vulnerabilities while someone was simultaneously working to ensure someone exploited those vulnerabilities.
