In a recent government meeting, critical questions arose regarding the security protocols in place during a rally where an assassination attempt occurred. Key discussions centered on the identification and handling of a suspicious individual who was flagged 57 minutes before the shooting but was never approached by agents on the ground.

Witnesses at the rally reported seeing the suspicious individual multiple times, yet agents, including local law enforcement and Secret Service personnel, failed to locate or interview him. The lack of action raised concerns about adherence to standard security protocols, which typically require agents to engage with individuals deemed suspicious.

Further inquiries revealed that while a local law enforcement officer reportedly observed the shooter on the roof, there had been no direct communication with this officer, as the FBI is currently conducting a criminal investigation. The absence of agents stationed at critical vantage points, such as a nearby water tower, was also questioned, with officials stating that such placements were not included in the security plan.

The timeline of events leading up to the shooting was scrutinized, particularly regarding the countersniper's actions. Questions were raised about how long the countersniper had the shooter in his sights before the attack on President Trump and whether there was any communication regarding the decision to wait before neutralizing the threat. Officials clarified that there was no order to hold fire, but details about the countersniper's communication and timing remain unclear.

The meeting highlighted significant gaps in security measures and raised urgent questions about the effectiveness of protocols designed to protect high-profile individuals during public events. As investigations continue, the need for a thorough review of security practices is becoming increasingly apparent.
