@The_Patrioteermilitary is just an extension of politics look at the generals they are just politicians wearing camo
@The_PatrioteerI see very little benefit these days that “politicians” bring to citizens…..
@The_Patrioteer believe it or not, sometimes a good politician is one who "does nothing"
@The_Patrioteer now remember as a republican, he also came in with fellow republican members, like santos and BooBert, so go easy thinking a congressman is something to brag about. santos is know for selling puppies that he didn't buy, and BooBert, serving Big Macs and beer.
It doesn’t take this long to figure out what happened. Only if your trying to cover your tracks
yep
I don't think it's a conspiracy because it's hard to coordinate so many people. I feel it's more about bad control from the top, they are clearly being lazy and not reviewing operation plans etc..
The conspiracy was continuously denying President Trump the necessary security required to properly keep him safe. Then purposely taking his normal security team away from him to provide additional security to Kamala and Jill Biden and replacing those agents with untrained and incompetent DHI officials. I say all that to say, by allowing standard protocols to be ignored, it offered up Trump on a silver platter for something like this to happen. And I'm still not convinced that certain higher ups in our government agencies didn't have a direct hand in the entire situation.
@@LegendLength bruh the shooters house has been scrubbed by a professional team, three SS agents were out of position, and every single warning from civilians and law enforcement was ignored.
How much more overt can you get.
EXACTLY
Not one person who testified knew the answers to the questions.
They knew but were told not to say
Nope, just pass the buck and claim "pending investigations" to avoid questions citizens figured out on Twitter 2 days after it happened.
BEEN LIKE THAT FOR 4 YRS!
@@garyhall4326 More like since November 1963.
It’s called stonewalling. This administration employed unqualified DEI dolts and now all involved are running for cover.
It's like catching kids up to something they shouldn't be. "I don't know" "It wasn't me" "It was him" "Talk to him it's his fault." Ridiculous.

He means after 10 days he hasn’t received any answers lol. The secret service did not give the commissioner of the State Police an Operational Plan. He has requested them and has not received them.
I watched this whole hearing and it's quite evident that the Department of secret service was incompetent in doing their job.
Regardless of the fact that the director of The Secret Service resigned she must be fully held accountable.
There was a catastrophic failure in communication.
This incident should never have happened.

HOW can ALL THESE Law Enforcement Agencies be so negligent at te SAME TIME?
Intentionally

Not a mistake. This is how it works.
The outcome they desired almost happened
On purpose
Someone was killed...someone needs to be held accountable more than just a person resigning and then most likely being transferred to another position somewhere else
Or a cushy job in the private sector.

This isn’t one of those things that’s just going to go away like Epstein did. The head of one of the two major political parties in the US was almost taken out due to gross incompetence by the government. The GOP is going to leave no stone unturned here.
The democrats media will try to make it go away. Think they call it,

He’s wearing a uniform, it’s an insult actually to the uniform.
I'm sick of hearing 2nd and 3rd hand account of somebody else's actions I want to hear from them directly!!
We have amber alert for children and then we have this shit show cover up. Several people need to be polygraphed. This is a disgrace!
If you can't pass a polygraph, then you're not much of a spy.
Amber alert for children is another FARCE. Wray should be grilled on why the Eff Bee I doesn't know that child grooming, trafficking and planned abduction is a FELONY...they don't even know that it is a CRIME.
Polygraph doesn't work on people that have trained to defeat them. I've seen officers lose their security clearance for having books that tell you how.
No they can still b polgraphed
The strongest truth serum that doesn't quite kill.
The amount of "I don't know" means they do know and they are covering their butts on a failed attempt to snuff out the target they were going for and make it look like incompetence.
Stop interviewing supervisors who were not present at the time of the shooting. The two police ESU snipers should be sitting answering the questions, to determine what happened that day.
Exactly. I want to know what the guy that shot the shooter has to say. Why protect that guy?
The head is supposed to be responsible for getting it right. He had 10 days to get answer which would take 3 days. He is a joke.
It is sickening that the head of State Police had not seen the plan.
Bingo!
Not really. Head of State Police would be mostly a policy guy, making sure ppl are doing what they're supposed to be doing, etc. He'd be delegating.
Eh not really. State Police agenccy heads have to rely on there lower level commanders although for something of this magitute it wouldn't be insane for him to be personally briefed.
Exactly what I thought too.
They keep talking to the wrong people. The person they need to talk to is the Secret Service agent in charge that day.
Agree - the SAIC - the special agent in charge that day - as with any "project manager" or field manager or anyone on the ground who was the local head that day needs to be brought in and that is one person that, for whatever reason, brass at USSS are protecting and refusing to reveal identity. People talk about needing heads to roll -- regardless of being fired or not, a man lost his life that day because the man on the ground -- I'm sorry ... or woman -- gender biasing here -- did not adequately oversee the operation. That person needs to answer questions and ... quite frankly ... if not being fired, needs to be strapped to a desk job for a while. USSS is not responsible for the general safety of the public, and I know the stand in director of USSS says he's losing sleep over this ordeal, well his agency's mismanagement resulted in a member of the general public to sleeping permanently.
@@fo4musicBoth directors refused to name the agent in charge that day.
They are full on CYA mode with double talk and rug sweeping statements.
Nobody will give that name up.
@@violent_bebop9687wow. WOW. I had no idea about that. Total and complete cover up. Inside job. Burn down the secret service & rebuild from scratch.
every agency is involved in incompetency. it's really Good vs Evil. Shame on these agencies.
can't anybody give honest truthful answers
Jesus
In government, especially in Washington DC are you kidding me? The last straight answer there was when JFK asked Gump how he was doing and Forrest said “ I got to go pee!”
Luttrell knows what he's talking about, he's been there, done that.
No he is not there is a lot of new evidence coming out about him during the fire fight with the Taliban apparently he told a pack of lies and he will be exposed when the real truth comes out
This PA State Police Director is an incompetent fool as well. He needs to resign!!!!
His word Salad is on Par with Kamala.....
Exactly!
They don't know or can't remember simple questions and never give any answers. So, let's start assuming they were part of the assignation. They shouldn't have a problem explaining what went down if they have nothing to hide.
This Texan has tried really hard to support and sympathize with PA LE. But this guy has finally broken my patience and ability to trust him.
@@countrysister700well considering he did not receive any ops plan from the secret service that is an ignorant conclusion. Pa Troopers love Trump. Ss did not request a lot of troopers usually there are a ton of troopers at Trump rallies and this one there was not. I know a troop that was there they had no ops plan that was given to them. There were not a lot of them. Pa State Police is a good agency. The commissioner is just as in awe as the public and that is the truth. He can only answer for PSP not anyone else. He’s not giving answers to the questions he doesn’t know because he literally doesn’t know.
This thing is dripping with coverup these idiots cant answer simple common sense questions and they'res about 20 pound of brass on this dude , throw him in jail for Treason
You seem to be fixated on the wrong suit his job was to help with man power task shortage who were not trained or tasked with security or planning the planing was the job of the secret security trainees that Homeland security Myorkas and Biden had orchestrated and planed with intended hopes of break down success that would bring fear and slow down the momentum of Trump surging rallies and increase the illegal alien vote population but yet have the appearance of their not having any involvement in an assassination attempt . Follow the Money and Greed Corrupt Power and Hate for decade of the DNC
Would be crazy. If trump and the guy plotting on him were in the same jail
@gustotrankin7383 Huh , Trump in jail ?
This is totally PATHETIC that this government official is clueless
How was he clueless? Can’t you see the ss isn’t giving any answers. The police were an assisting agency. The PA State Police is one of best agencies in the country. They did not receive an ops plan from the ss. They usually have a boat load of troopers at Trump rallies and this time the didn’t ask for a lot.
Pure FACTS 🔥🔥🔥
LOVE the Lutrell family!!!
Why does this cop have medals like a soldier?
Obviously for his service and accomplishments. He’s employed by a state-funded, paramilitary organization, hence the rank Colonel.

After spending all of your adult life, training in your career, and advancing to respectable positions... how is it that all of your life's pursuits end up in, "I don't know."?
They magically left the building unattended when the shooter climbed up
Are we to believe that two snipers packed up their long (and very heavy) rifles along with their tripods, binoculars, etc. , left their post, and ran around on the ground lugging all their gear while looking for Crooks when there were already a good many law enforcement officers already on the ground around the building. Or did they leave their post and leave behind their expensive and very dangerous sniper rifles and other equipment in place where anyone could enter that room and take a shot at President Trump? Neither option makes any sense; no sense at all. In addition, their high vantage point was perfect for assisting in the search if they simply stuck their heads out the window to look around for the suspect. Had they done so, they would have seen Crooks on the roof.
A Butler County officer testified that the "window" snipers never left their post, the exact opposite from what the FBI claims. However, nobody had the brains to ask why they didn't stick their heads out the window and look around from their perfect vantage point when the call went out saying a suspect was on the loose. Ask your self this. If you, an untrained individual, were in that second story room and heard a radio call that a suspicious man with a range finder and a back pack was somewhere around the building you were in and that law enforcement was searching for him, wouldn't you go to the window, stick your head out, and look around? Of course you would. And you would certainly then see Crooks on the roof of the one story building directly outside your window as soon as you glanced to the left. It's impossible to believe that two men trained as professional counter-snipers would NOT do exactly that. Unlike some military sniper operations where you want to hide your position, they had no reason not to stick their heads out the window.
Remember, everyone involved was a professional with years of training, many ex-military. The security for this event was not planned by your grandmothers quilting club. It is impossible to believe that this series of events happened by poor planning, a series of mistakes, or lack of training. Nearly everyone involved could survey the situation and immediately see that it was unsafe in several ways. The SS snipers even had Crooks literally in their cross hairs for at least 7 seconds before he fired. Yet they allowed him to take eight shots before returning fire. Then, of course, they took out the human evidence. And now the top brass is trying to cover it up.
Further testimony reveals that the SS failed to provide proper protection at a number of Trump events prior to this one. Why? The ONLY possible answer is that they were not prepared to kill Trump directly, but they were willing to set the scene so that an outside killer could easily do the job. The SS was counting on a couple of Iranians, but a smart punk kid suffering from a mental disease beat them to the punch. At Butler the only thing they forget to do was pre-position a cooler with soft drinks and a shooting pad on the roof so Crooks could be more comfortable.
IT WAS ALL SET UP ON PURPOSE. There is no other explanation.
As magical as a water pipe breaking in the middle of the night during an election and waking up to an overthrown country.

Morgan Luttrell really knows how to bring up a question. He is so factual and logical. He's got my vote if I was in Texas.
It's just so *weird* how a detail is pulled from overwatch, to search for someone, that just happens to climb onto the roof the minute they leave their post.
Fifth general order: To quit my post only when properly relieved.
It exists for a reason. This is a prime example.
This dude knows his lingo and what he’s talking about.
Luttrell IS a former SEAL
Maybe he shouId be the new director for USSS. He's ALL business and CLEARLY more quaIified than the DEl hire, HiII JiIIy's friend.
The Lone Survivor. He has seen a few things.
That is morgan luttrell,his twin brother Marcus is the lone survivor @@chuckrf1502
He’s more qualified than the cop he’s interrogating. Normally those on the panel are trying to play catch-up.
10 days out and No one in leadership has seen the reports or knows the assignments Horrific !!!! Fire all Leadership. Immediately. 10 days out in inexcusable
Omg come on why would you leave that window watching that roof unless it was a set up? You had a 30 yard shot before he could shoot? Wtf

they were not prepared to answer questions about a FAILED attempt. they were expecting to answer post mortem questions
I love that we have all these veterans who know what to look for making it hard for the perpetrators to get away with this unlike in the pasdt. Before all we would have was what the news told us. USA! Thank them for their service!
They too.....failed enormously....on purpose most believe now.
We now know the SS are the hitmen for the Democrats
Substitute the word shooter for patsy and it all starts to make sense. Who's patsy though? That's the big question.
Morgan Luttrell is Marcus Luttrell's (Lone Survivor) twin brother. Also a former SEAL.
You mean the greatest lie to come out of that war? Lone survivor garbage, the lie he ran with and constantly exaggerated everytime he got infront of a camera? If he's anything like his brother he should be ashamed of himself as well.
@@jlo7770 wow your a big man. thanks for your insight
@jlo7770 the ending of that FILM was dramatized (he didn't kill one of his captors with a knife). I'll give you that. But if anything, the extent of Luttrell's injuries was UNDERPLAYED in the film, and nothing in the book has been contradicted by any findings after the event. I am anti-war. I believe the US government lies us into foreign wars all the time. Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden have all expanded and started new wars. TRUMP STARTED NO NEW WARS. Even Robert O'Neill (the SEAL that killed Bin Laden) recently expressed his disgust for the war machine and regret for killing the people he was put in the position to do so. Don't conflate the assholes running the wars and the MIC with the incredible skill and super-human ability to overcome incredible odds to survive. Find one of Marcus Luttrell's speeches online and give it a listen. It is amazing how people can manage to survive when they are trained properly. I bought into the Iraq war WMD bullshit 20+ years ago, and I regret that, as does Rob O'Neill.

God bless you, Morgan Luttrell at least there's one guy I can count on in Congress
Thanks Congressmen Luttrell for your Seal Team training to ask direct questions. This rally was a total danger for any presidential candidate.
I'm wondering if we will hear from they people in charge, on the ground in Buttler! You know, the people who actually know what happened. And, every sworn officer within 5 miles.
They're probably being visited by the FBI right now and told to shut their mouths.
Im sorry, Butler PA? Never heard of it. Who's Joe Biden? Kamala Harris has been our president since 2020, you sound like you need some re-education son. 👮♂👮♂
we need more people like this not only to be on Congress but to be asking these questions and holding the checks and balance.
It sure looks like the PA state police commissioner should resign as well.
They refuse to answere. He's definitely protecting his co conspirators.
Funny how none of these people can answer questions. That’s guilt.
This Colonel should resign
You truely are insane. The Pa State Police did not receive an ops plan from the Ss. State police usually have a ton of troops at these trump rallies. Pa troopers love trump. At the rally the they did not request a lot of troopers they only had a few Sert Troopers there and a few patrol troopers. It is not their fault. Colonel Paris is telling the truth. He has not received any ops plan and is attempting to get answers. He can only answer for the state police. They are an assisting agency they were requested to be there.
I’ve never seen so many people in charge that are so ill informed….perhaps cya or perhaps covering up something more
Still no (honest) ANSWERS and NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
Makes zero sense. All the police and law enforcement there and you have your two counter sniper team members going to search for a suspicious person? Sounds like some BS to me.
Hate to break it anyone talking to Lutrell about ROE and safety etc stuff like this they should stfu and listen. As a Seal he knows more than they will ever know about how to secure an area from threats lol
Why don't they interview the people who were stationed inside the building they were supposedly securing? The media should be interviewing them too.
Why is that man there, with near ZERO info?
They ALL do THAT. The Republicans come with Facts /questions, they never answer, word salads and “It’s all Trump’s Fault”. Never prepared to do anything but lie, stall, and BS! Can’t answer sheet! Promise to get it for them and do not, or give TOTALLY REDACTED half pages if any
Over 10 days and nobody knows how this happened. A total failure is what happened and everyone involved should be fired and investigated EMEDIATELY!!
He doesn't know crap, why is he even there? Shows the higher you go, the further you are removed from reality. They should all have had the same radios, and yes any asset should have been able to put the brakes on the operation.
I can’t believe that we in the state of Texas Department of Criminal Justice (State Prison) had better practices than the the secret service. Freakin’ ridiculous! Any employee (security or otherwise) had the authority (power!) to make the call via two-way radio or by any means necessary to SEIZE ALL MOVEMENT if and when they felt the need due to an emergency or perceived emergency.
Morgan is just as intense as Marcus.
Not surprised if the security detail in the building becomes suspect
Bet they are depressed and feel suicidal now..?
These government officials hate when SOF individuals have to ask the questions
Thank you Mr Luttrell. 2 weeks and they still can't answer basic questions? Come on man. Do better.
Bunch of Keystone Cops
Fantastic line of questioning Mr. Luttrell.
With Majokas supervising everything, it's no surprise that this all reeks of incompetence.
Cheatles' coach & mentor??
This guy is Totally not in Luttrells wheel house! Way out of his League!
Luttrell stop being so nice and professional we are past that with these liars!
Just watched Benny Johnson and he's resources say that the agent that was helping find Crooks outside the AGI building was locked out (faulty key card) and the agent that was in the room gaurding the window had to assist the agent getting back in the building. There was a third agent but he'd gone home early that day. Talk about some shit
All questions with no answers! Frustrating
Yeah whatever, I don't trust that police Chief ONE LITTLE BIT
"When things become common, people get complacent." Absolutely spot ON! Complacency kills.
Did you order a code red ?
Thoroughly agreed with him being able to ask every single bit of his line of questioning. Respectful and knowledgeable about what they are discussing. Kudos to quality people and military veterans continuing to serve!❤❤❤
Did they ask him if he needed help getting on the roof for christsake
This is THE single best interview we’ve heard yet. This is what professional questioning sounds like, from someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, can control his own emotions, and who lets the person actually answer the questions.
There are buildings, trees and a water tower nearby. Who made the decision to have the rally at this location?
That's not the problem. Not covering these obvious threats certainly is.
Finally a man that understands and asks the right questions ❤️🇺🇸
This PA big wig guy uses way too much “speak” … words that don’t mean anything.
Commissioner Paris is a very respectable man. He doesn’t know because he has not received and ops plan from the Ss. There is cover up and it’s not from the state boys. This is deep state shit. Pa Troops love trump my dude. He doesn’t know because he hasn’t be told shit. He can only answer for PSP not other agencies and at that he can’t go into cars detail because he’s not there they would have to interview the few troopers that were there. They were an assisting agency lol not primary.
Why do former PSP officers call Col. Paris a freakin' tool?
3:16 Col Paris i think is lying with that -i don't know-
He is not lying, obviously. He just knows how his service handles information channels and how it interacts with other services. How it goes from there he is not supposed to know. What his service is concerned he followed up how information are supposed to flow. What the comand post does with it is usss responsibility.
He’s not grilling anyone. He’s trying to prove how much he knows, and in the process gets his foot in his mouth quite a few times.
Do all these colonels have shoulder padding in their uniforms? It makes this guy look even more effete than he already is.
@jackspring Looks just like a commandate in a banana republic.
@@trickydicky2908 True.
It’s so ridiculous, that I can call out “he doesn’t know!” And boom. He doesn’t know.

This is Morgan Luttrell. His brother, Marcus is the Lone survivor
Luttrell got up to leave the room after questioning, Probably had to go clean the bullshit off his shoes. Doesn't matter what side your on, this situation is extremely concerning. Every single Americans should be furious that this was allowed to happen.
