As soon as they start with “thank you Senator for that question” we know everything after that will be non-answers, filibustering, and obfuscation.
it sounds ridiculously stupid too
indeed 😂@@eric_in_florida
The Secret Service is a National Embarrassment.
IT is part of the US Federal Government is it not? It is not just the SS that is a problem. Name one agency that is operating per laws, and ethics and worse yet any accountability?
They don’t care as long as they get to keep their job and collect they’re unearned paycheck.
Worse. Like the DOJ FBI CIA IRS CDC Homeland Security as a whole they are dangerous to Americans their enemy. All rotted to the bone.
JUST TWO WORDS !
UTTER FAILURE.....
Also, the entire Biden/Harris is a global embarrassment as well as SS agency. SMH
FIRE THIS MAN HE IS PART OF THE MACHINE!
This guy is the person who: gets to answer the hard questions while trying to fix the problem, find out who actually failed, revise the protocols and deal with the intense scrutiny from Congress!! He's doing a decent job in a VERY difficult position! Respect for trying to do the thankless job! Hope he does the right thing and the proper discipline is dealt to the proper SS people!
@@zubenelgenubi And yet he isn’t answering any hard questions. ChatGPT could answer same questions, and no one would even know.
@@zubenelgenubi Sounds good... But he is lying. Liars are NOT fixing a problem. They are part of the Problem!
@@Johnny5 all of them should be accountable and send to prison for treason
This new so called "director" is crooked as hell, just as bad as the embarrassment he replaced. He evades questions, ducks, filibusters, blocks, is aggressive when uncalled for, (as if he is hiding something) he thinks if he says 'its our fault' that means he gets to hide everything that happened, which was a coordinated hit job. A mistake happens to everybody, 20 mistakes in a row do not happen to anybody, that's not a coincidence. It was a coordinated hit job this is why nobody was fired, cause they did as they were told, this is why he tells us NOTHING because he doesn't want anybody to know who should be questioned. To hide a crime you hide the identity of everyone who coordinated it, hide, hide, hide. That's exactly what this crook does. This was done on purpose with the Secret Service working with the FBI and Homeland Security and the biden administration coordinating and working together to kill the ex-president. This is why this guy will never tell us ANYTHING. He will talk in generalities, he will take up the time with procedure, how it works, how its supposed to work, but he will never tell us ANYTHING about that day that matters. He will hide, block, avoid, and keep congress as much IN THE DARK as he possibly can. Corrupt director, corrupt agency at the top. THANK GOD FOR WHISTLE BLOWERS who are disgusted with these criminals running the agency.
🎯
This new guy is worse then the one who resigned
I still think the lady is worser
He probably had more experience lying.
FIRE
Resign or be fired
Never thank a failure for their service
@@KreatorStudios I know!!!! What the heck???!!!
It's because osoff is a lefty
These excuses suck. We all know what happened that day. Plausible deniability happened.
How did Crooks know that that building was not secured? Sounds like he was a patsy
One of the things most baffling to the public is why there wasn’t immediate response when eye witnesses were shouting , “ he has a gun”.
Excuses....fire him....
Put the radios in a tent and have somebody listen to all frequencies. This man is not being forthcoming
No conequences for failure is the most scary thing to the lay person
you'll never get that respect back....EVER
How do you know Secret Service lying….when their mouth is talking. 😡😡😡😡
Thay care more about their jobs than doing their jobs.
That’s what politics are about silly.
That makes zero sense lol. If you care about your job, you probably care about doing your job. In my opinion they seem far more competent than the previous SS director, and yet you’re still here repeating what everyone else is saying. Congrats
@@Kazoowiii low bar to set really. He had no more answers than the previous head.
@@Kazoowiiicompetence ≠ compliance
@@lscales6131 I agree that it was a low bar to set, but I still think he seems far more competent and headstrong about making positive changes in the department than the previous director did. I mean, i'm just glad he at least went to the rally site and got Crooks POV.
You don't have to link communication if you just have one person with police radio in the command center who could tell secret service that there's an active threat. You don't need months of planning just to get one guy with a radio to relay vital information.
Pick a random person from a crowd of regular people and they'll come up with more effective solutions than what the Secret Service leadership seems to be capable of.
Aye, one police officer invited into the command center to liaise would've solved a lot of problems. This entire operation sounds like a cluster and I'm looking forward to see what will come from this mess.
Exactly 100%
Exactly my thoughts
They didn't deny agents but didn't have the agent available that were requested...In other words they were denied.
How did this guy get his job?
Really obvious by knowing the right people.
He actually answered well.
Idk, he seems far more competent than the previous director. Folks like you just love to repeat what everyone else is saying because you think it’s a trend, but this guy appears to be serious about his position and is far more transparent.
@@KazoowiiiI agree. If they would just ask the questions and let him respond. They would get more answers. But yelling at him and not allowing him to answer. Gets no where. Some are more interested in 5 minutes of fame.

The only thing that stopped this attempt was Trump turning his head. Everything else is CYA.
Their service is secret
Wasnt this exposed during 9/11? 23 years later they are still figuring out interagency communication?
They thought the dad aimer would hit when they gave him the break to shoot. It was all planned and just had the wrong shooter. Now they have to cover it up because they won't be able to use that plan again.
Why is it so hard to understand...communication between the local, state and federal folks should have been seamless.
It's not hard. They should have been sitting right next to each other. Police, EMS, Fire, SS and any other reps that may be needed. Think hurricane. There's a nationally recognized, accepted by ALL jurisdictions, method of staffing a command post. Clearly, this wasn't followed.
Who exactly do you hold accountable in a Government Sanctioned and approved Assassination attempt ?
If you can asked enough tools of the Pentagon, you might be getting closer to that answer.
No one.
The Head of Secret Services and all their leads and management. SMH
SO, he's saying it would take MONTHS to coordinate communication between local law enforcement & the Secret Service because of its limited short time span? Are you KIDDING ME???? What a PILE OF CRAP! - Susan Burns
Keystone Cops.
if i gave these answers to OSHA i would be facing a felony endangerment and a 200k fine
They will Hold No One Accountable because this was their Given Order from the Start...
ALLOWING it to Happen
That's my Senator. Good questions.
So sad 🤏. But Joe Cool is on God's time😎
These guys are un Fn believe able geez. Should have just asked the Boy Scouts to provide security.
With today's technology how do we have these caps?
Few Boy Scouts of my neighborhood could have given much better protection to Trump than the US Secret Service did that horrible day in the history of the US😂😂😂
The AGR building has been called a "LE staging area", translation: feeding trough where local, state, federal LE stuffed their faces and refilled plates to stuff their faces again inside an air conditioned building, while being paid to actually be at a post in protection of a former President and the public. There are no pictures provided from inside the AGR building during the afternoon of July 13th, why is that ? Each and every member of LE that was being paid that day should be made to account for every minute of that day, including their phone calls, text messages, internet usage, 3-4 plates of food, snacks, smoke time, etc. and when they are found be be in dereliction of duty, they should be fired, their pensions revoked and they should be charged with accessory after the fact 3rd degree murder charges. This is the only form of accountability that will help to prevent such a complete failure from occurring again.
We live in a world that u can call n text wherever n he’s saying it would take months to figure out how to be able to have popo call the agent? …… ughhhhh man on roof! There u go!
Why is the IRS involved in security now, 🤔
PEOPLE ON THE ROOF GOT OFF BECAUSE YOU MR ROWE SAID THEY WERE TO HOT ,TO HOT REALLY ,YOU MR ROWE AND YOUR CREW ARE OVER YOUR HEAD,THE PICTURES SHOWN OF THE SHOOTER,AND THE CREW GOT OFF THE ROOF ,IT WAS TO HOT ,WTF REALLY 😊
THEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE MORE IS SAID THAN DONE. and Thay have no problem cashing their paycheck? getting apyrases? getting more time off? getting more benefits.
. but why can't Thay do their stinking JOB????????????????? JUST A GRAVYTRAIN
Finally a question on HSI
Its staffed by BlackRock, its NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!
BlackRock owns CONgress - it can't be THAT difficult to understand!!!
Its exactly the same!!! They own you!!!
You only ask questions...BlackRock TELL YOU, TO ASK!!!
BlackRock owns the secret encrypted service... they go & do WHAT BlackRock TELLS them!!!
A 2.2 billion budget and the Secret Service doesn't have enough agents.
Incompetence.
No excuse!
Many Heads must roll.
Wouldn't expect anything other than softballs from Assoff...... No counter questions when SS dodges answering ANYTHING!!! Only reason he would be upset is because the plan failed...🤡🤡🤡
Im in love with Ossof. ❤😂
Fire the first one as the stooge. Put the second one in to lay ground cover while the rats scurry. The ground investigation should have been wrapped up in three days. There is no excuse for this. None.
I'm not even from the US but I have seen so many cover-ups by the US that I recognize this is just the start of another one.
15 second response to Crooks was amazing by FBI!
Just change the radio to channel 4
What about both law enforcement and secret services being on the same radio frequency?
Nope, never happens
It would have taken 15 seconds to ask any local that there’s little to know cellular service in that area. How embarrassing. I cannot fathom that no one has been fired.
Answer the questions
Jon Ossoff asks good questions, and does it respectfully. I assume he is not a Republican.
He's a Dem in a Red state. He knows he must tread carefully.
Even with this situation you have to be bipartisan. What if it was Obama or Biden..
This affects all Americans and each Senator should be seeking out the truth from the SS and FBI.. 17 days on and we still don't have answers.
I love the comment "controlling high ground is a must..." and then a man lost his life due to their "must".
If he was that high up in decision making why didn't he challenge that decision, guilty to The SS sharp shooters were on a sloped roof in same heat BS on outside of boundary we are not talking about bow and arrows
This people should be resign
Public servants sitting on their butts collecting a paycheck and doing nothing to deserve it. 🖕🙄😎😎😎👈🤡
Im now certain the term "thanl you for that question senator" is just a way to get the brain to start thinking up a lie quickly its like a mental head statt!
you don't need to give local PD access to SS communications...all you need is a radio or channels from local PD in the SS Command Post to recieve and pass on information
So why did the failure to communicate happen…is the question
I think this man will get to the bottom and I want to think he will hold people accountable
Nobody in the Secret Service, from the executive level, is ever held accountable. Read my 2nd, book, Secrets of the Secret Service. Gary J Byrne.
It doesn't take much effort to have local LE in the command area with their radios...
He's saying it's a challenge for them to get communication from one agency to the other, I used to install and design communications for a com company and we never had any problems in any way for any reason.
If someone is going to be in your areas of interest and you need to establish contact it's simple to establish a system that can be specific to the detail in question.
Just have other depts use their normal coms and when interagency coms are necessary give a radio to the separate heads of each agency.
Not a big deal, I'm not sure why they think we're so ignorant?
This guy is the epitome of government take months to have local law enforcement to connect with secret service radio’s communications! He needs to be fired he is worst than the dei hire that just resigned. He shouldn’t be a mall cop
I’ve never heard of it being that difficult to have multiple agencies in communication.
If you don’t have a C2 center set up then use one provided by the local agency, station a secret service radio guy and the mission commander along with any additional agents if other resources are being monitored.
You have your map layout, all positions identified, call signs identified, sector sketch’s, ETC. This is where all information flow happens and the ability to control the event happens.
HSI will provide us 'Post Standers.' ie 'Carnival Cops.'
A Democrat never wastes an opportunity to raise more money! This was not a money issue!!
Put a person from each jurisdiction sitting together with their radios. There is your quick communication
John Ossoff is going to run for potus in the future. I'm all in.
He is afraid to tell the true someone behind him
I guess that doesn't include "THE WATER TOWER" Just another military lacky.
It’s like they hired the uvalde cowards to protect that day
whenever they answer "thank you for that question" they are in programmable defense BS mode.... Fire this guy, he's a not answerer....
All this inquiry is doing is playing into the hands of the perpetrators as they now know what questions need to be answered and by not answering by hiding behind an ongoing internal investigation or simply deflecting is giving the masterminds time and knowledge to work on a strategy to provide the answers which creates minimal damage.
There's was a delay on relay of information on real time between local police officers and the secret service personnel, when was this delay noticed? Was it before Trump mounted the podium or during his speech? If before, didn't that constitute a security hitch on him mounting the podium, or evacuating him after he has mounted the podium?
At least this guy has a pulse and becomes "expressive'. The other director appeared to have been drugged and showed zero response to intense questions
We were told all agencies are part of the staff at the command post, witch is it.
“Thank you senator for that question” is always followed by bullshit
Maybe ask him about his credentials compared with his resigned predecessor.
Why? Well I wonder why she got the job over, say, him and whether he is any more competent in replacing her.
Remember that many times a boss hires someone less smart in order to prevent competition.
Communications: after 9/11 a ton of federal money was give to local and state agencies for communications. The 911 commission found that one of the biggest issues was agencies not being able to communicate with each other. This money was meant to resolve that and was money well spent and utilized allowing fire service police departments, EMS, federal agencies, and other needed agencies to be placed on tactical channels for cross communications during large events or disasters.
This person either does not realize the communication resources available or they were intentionally not using them and misleading the senator.
Senator: Why wasn't the prime spot for assassination not covered?
SS: We cover all high grounds
Rest of the world: ???
WTH why in 2024 is this not taken care of… my word it’s communication!!!
A lot of the info being revealed is being heard by persons who are capable of becoming a potential threat.
I forgot the democrats bought that Georgia seat in 2020.
Yes, quite happy indeed. Cry, cry
When will the investigation be completed??? Never a date. This looks to go on forever.
I would love to get the local police in on this. The FBI is really trying to blame them . We all know they are full of shit but they are trying
Who appointed this guy?
I'm a little curious here. Couldn't the SS take one or two of their radios and LOAN them to senior members of the local/state cops on sight? Or couldn't the SS have one of their senior agents on site be LOANED one of the radios the local LEs are using in order to make sure the SS and the local LEs have immediate comms with each other. I mean, this may be a radical concept, but that way all the cops protecting the President would be able to TALK TO EACH OTHER!!! And since the radios would be ON LOAN, there wouldn't need to be a months long procurement process to get everyone in communication with each other! BTW, did you know that EVERY agency in the Federal government and pretty much EVERY agent in those agencies is authorized to carry a gun? Yup! Dept's of State, Labor, Agriculture, HHS, Etc., are ALL allowed to go around ARMED! Oh and that's not just the enforcement folks, that's EVERYONE!!! Sure gives me a feeling of safety to be aware of that! Doesn't it give you one, too?
communal trumpaphobia...taken for granted...oops...the kid missed...swamp turns into quicksand...
FBI shot Crooks after first three shots, which allowed Crooks five additional shots before he was killed, true or false?
Secret Service head refers to” the Donald Trump detail”. He has no understanding how many times a former President of the United States has run again, in this nations history. His comment by definition is insulting.
Audio is not sync'ed .
That day it was said hsi investigation people were working
Not answering,he asjed how msny not who ..he told you who HIW MANY!!!!
Stupid answer with tech today Spare me
There was at least 2 shooters possibly 3 by audio analysis.
Acting director of the preatorian gaurd
That is untrue regarding communication as that is the reason for command post where all communication are run through. This is done all the time there is not reason for loading radios with everyone freqencies COMMAD POSTS WORK WONDERS IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS AND HAVE BEEN USED FOR DECADES
There are so many braKes in the story at 360 degrees. Whats in the breaks?
