Here’s something to think about concerning the consequences to the shooter. They would be the same for The Secret Service Director, whether the shooter succeeded or not. After all, her appointment to the position was not for merit but because she is a close family friend of the Biden family for a long time. So what if the shooter was intentionally ignored, to give him the opportunity to take Trump out; after all they were going to kill him either way i.e., “dead men tell no tales”. It would be kind of like lying by omission. I’m sorry, but nothing would surprise me from this administration at this point.
