Cheatle admits that Doctor President Jill Biden had four times the manpower devoted to protecting her worthless status-tripping ass than to the most threatened man on earth, and the most likely next President of the United States.

Sen. Chuck Grassley has demanded answers from the Secret Service after discovering that First Lady Jill Biden received significantly more security than former President Donald Trump at their respective Pennsylvania events on July 13, 2024.

Key Details:

First Lady Jill Biden had 12 Secret Service personnel for "post standing" at her Pittsburgh event.
Former President Donald Trump had only 3 Secret Service personnel for "post standing" at his rally in Butler.
Sen. Chuck Grassley is investigating the disparity and potential security lapses that led to a shooting at Trump's rally.

Diving Deeper:

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has raised serious concerns about the Secret Service's allocation of security resources following a revelation that First Lady Jill Biden received four times the number of Secret Service personnel than former President Donald Trump for events in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. Grassley's inquiry stems from whitleblowers, showing that Jill Biden had 12 agents for "post standing" at her Pittsburgh event, while Trump had only 3 for his rally in Butler.

This discrepancy is particularly striking given the increased security threats against Trump. The Secret Service had previously claimed to ramp up security for Trump due to an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate him. Despite this, the agency assigned significantly fewer agents for "post standing" at his rally compared to those assigned to Jill Biden.

Emails with the subject lines "203.080 First Lady Dr. Jill Bident to Pittsburgh, PA" and "203.080 Candidate Donald Trump to Pittsburgh, PA" detail the specific personnel assignments. The email for Jill Biden lists 12 post-standers, whereas Trump's email lists only 3.

First of all: Even though the Secret Service had been alerted to a suspicious person, with a rifle, on the roof of a custom-built sniper's platform, they never bothered telling Trump about it.

Donald Trump revealed Saturday that he was not warned by the Secret Service about the gunman who shot him at a Pennsylvania rally last weekend -- despite agents eyeing the suspect for hours before the attack.

"Nobody mentioned it," Trump, 78, told Jesse Watters in an upcoming episode of the Fox News anchor's primetime show.

"Nobody said it was a problem," the Republican presidential nominee said.

"[They] could've said, 'Let's wait for 15, 20 minutes, 5 minutes.' Nobody said...I think that was a mistake," he added.

Trump questioned how gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb onto a roof with a rifle in hand just 130 yards away from the politician without the Secret Service taking action.

Police even saw Crooks on the building 26 minutes before he opened fire -- and were alerted by frantically screaming witnesses -- but didn't take action.

The Secret Service didn't make any moves until after Crooks squeezed off up to seven shots at Trump, grazing the candidate in the ear and killing one audience member.

I don't believe the theory that they planned it all, but it's a fair question to ask: If they were to indeed plan out an assassination, what, exactly, would they do differently than they actually did?

Secret Service officials repeatedly rejected Donald Trump's request for additional security in the two years before last weekend's assassination attempt, The Post has learned.

The ex-president, 78, asked for more agents and magnetometers at large public events he attended, as well as extra snipers for outdoor venues, four insiders told The Washington Post, which first reported the damning revelation.

Each request was shot down by senior officials who claimed the agency lacked the resources Trump was asking for, the outlet reported.

...

Outrage at the security lapse led the federal security agency to up Trump's detail to the same level as President Biden, The Post exclusively reported earlier this week.

The Secret Service initially denied claims that someone from Trump's camp asked for more help ahead of the deadly shooting as "absolutely false."
