They said the protection was a complete clown show. Said training must have really changed. Use to be the agents had to be 2-3 inches taller than who they were protecting in order to cover their entire body and especially the head while standing. He said one agent knew this was a problem and why he had his hand above Trump's head. Said that protocol use to be to surround the President immediately, and immediately get him to the bullet proof vehicle, get to safe cover ASAP. Lucky someone in the crowd that was close to the stage did not have an AR and could have walked up and killed them all as they laid in a rugby like scrum. They were all exposed at that point.

The fact they were so short may have caused them to jump on him like he did. He said they were sitting ducks once they jumped on him, and rounds can go thru one person and kill another person even from the distance the sniper was shooting from. Said the women agents were horrible. They were short and fat, the one completely clueless asking what to do, could not holster the gun and last one to react. He said none of those women agents could have taken Trump to the vehicle (not able to go on his own) if they were the only one left. Too out of shape, fat, and short.

As for the USSS sniper, the video shows the sniper backing away from the scope, and then back to the scope and firing. He said they train you, your instinct is to do that, but you lose time doing that. Said poorly trained to not stay on the scope and acquire target.

He said the ones that looked like they had a clue were the ones that got on the stage with their helmets, and looking for further threats in crowd and projecting force.

So disgusted with how the shooter was even in that position did not want to discuss, complete and total failure. Unbelievable failure.

Said the field agents in the FBI and USSS love Trump. The problem is in the upper leadership tiers. Said agents get on to something, spend weeks on it, and then get pulled off.

For whatever all that is worth...
