Blumenthal (D. Conn) said the American public would be as shocked as he and his fellow Senators were when the details of the DHS's incompetence were revealed. The report is now public.

/

• Majority of DHS personnel unfamiliar with security protocols

• Only training received by many HSI agents was a single two-hour webinar

• Law enforcement was supposed to be on roof where Crooks shot Trump, post was abandoned

• Night before the rally, Secret Service denied offers to utilize Butler County's drones

• USS Counter Surveillance Division (CSD) did not perform routine pre-event surveillance

• Gunman would have been handcuffed after being spotted with range finder if USS CSD present

• Secret Service lead agent lacked competence and experience

• Secret Service preemptively informed Pittsburgh field office the Butler rally was not going to receive additional security resources

Hawley's whistleblower report concludes:

"Two months have now elapsed since former President Donald J. Trump was nearly assassinated. And the American people still know far too little about why this happened."

"The Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security have not been forthcoming with the American people. Far from it: they have closed ranks, refused to confirm or deny whistleblower allegations, and resisted meaningful oversight. In fact, sources with direct knowledge of Secret Service’s own internal investigation have alleged to Senator Hawley that the Department of Homeland Security is leaning on Secret Service not to comply with document requests from Congress." [...]

"Left alone, these agencies will not reform themselves. They will continue to stonewall and obfuscate. Plainly, it is now up to Congress and the President to clean house at these failing agencies at the earliest possible opportunity."

Just sayin'
