Turner: The Secret Service Was Aware of a Threat Before Trump Took the Stage Where He Faced an Assassination Attempt

EXCERPT:

TURNER: "Well, the failures are just absolutely outrageous and incredible. You know, first you start asking the question, is this a failure of resources, is this a failure of protocols or a failure of management? And it appears that now we know that it's all three, that people on the ground at Trump's campaign who were involved with security had asked for additional resources. They identified that there were gaps. And what's interesting is, when we had our briefing, and the Secret Service gave us their own timeline, their own timeline admits that nine minutes before Donald Trump took the stage, that they were aware of a particular threat and still let Donald Trump take the stage. And then, as we also know from their own timeline, they didn't take a shot to take out the shooter until Donald Trump himself was shot. And what you see from this is that, you know, obviously, thank God Donald Trump is alive, and as he's alive, we look at this as incompetence. But if he had been killed, they would be culpable. Every aspect of their failure leads right to giving an opportunity to shoot Donald Trump.”
