Furious Secret Service Sniper Demands 4 More Resignations, Expects Another Assassination Attempt Soon: Report

A new report indicates that a Secret Service countersniper is furious over the failures that occurred on the day former President Donald Trump was shot.

The report, shared on X by Real Clear Politics White House correspondent Susan Crabtree, referenced an email from an anonymous sniper.

In the email, the sniper vowed to continue highlighting the Secret Service's failures from that day until “5 high-level supervisors (1 down) are either fired or removed from their current positions.” This statement alludes to the resignation of former Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle.

“This agency NEEDS to change,” the email stated, “if not now, WHEN? The NEXT assassination in 30 days?”

The email warned the Secret Service, “we all SHOULD expect another assassination attempt to happen before November” because “We’ve exposed our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership.”

The email emphasized that the snipers at the Trump rally on July 13 “DID THEIR JOB with their hands tied.”

The sniper criticized the managers, describing how they view countersnipers as “‘guys who sit on the roof’ and don’t do much,” and argued that the Secret Service's mission is not to protect “an EMPTY White House located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” but to prevent “another JFK style assassination, in whatever city that may be.”

“Sadly we have fallen short for YEARS, We just got lucky and looked good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only supervisors (to include the current Captain) within CS, but those responsible for training us (SOTS/CS). Only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me,” the sniper wrote.

“The team I was once proud to be a part of, is something I have to somehow hide as I move into my next career. Who wants to hire a USSS CS guy who failed? That’s the public perception I’m now faced with. The USSS CS team is a stain I will never be able to cleanse,” he wrote.

“Failure is not an option, and on 7/13/24, WE failed. Not because of commitment or sense of dedication. But because our SUPERVISORS (aka leadership) knew better and thought our concerns were less than important,” the email stated.

“The motto of the USSS…CYA. And every supervisor is doing it right now,” the sniper concluded.

During testimony on Tuesday, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe informed Congress of the complete breakdown on the day Trump was shot.

“Based on what I know right now, neither the Secret Service countersniper teams nor members of the former president’s security detail had any knowledge that there was a man on the AGR roof with a firearm,” he said, according to Axios.

Rowe referred to the roof used by Thomas Matthew Crooks to shoot Trump.

He mentioned that agents were unaware “the assailant had a firearm until they heard gunshots.”

A report by Real Clear Politics, citing unnamed sources, claimed that Rowe played a key role in reducing the size of the security detail protecting Trump over the past two years.

The report added that Rowe has the authority to unilaterally deny resources to any Trump event located beyond driving distance from Washington.
