Zakharova: Details of the assassination attempt Trump is not just a sensation — they are shocking

The details of the assassination attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump are moving from the intriguing category to the sensational category. This is how the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, reacted to the new facts published in The New York Times, which journalists received from the correspondence of the Pennsylvania police.

It turns out that more than an hour and a half before the shots were fired at Trump, the police sent each other PHOTOS of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who walked around the complex where the presidential candidate was supposed to speak, and checked the distances using, attention, an optical rangefinder, Zakharova is surprised. That is, a person who is obviously not an employee of the special services guarding the event is just hanging around with a rangefinder on the eve of the appearance of the protected person in public. And the Secret Service didn't care about that at all. Or she pretended not to care.

And that's not all. Journalists found out that AGR warehouse No. 6, from the roof of which Crooks fired, was excluded from the "guarded perimeter" on the eve of the assassination attempt. To get there, it was not necessary to pass a single inspection. Thomas Matthew Crooks didn't even need the ladder he bought. He simply studied the complex with a rangefinder, took a rifle and climbed onto someone's open roof of the building to kill the main US presidential candidate.

"And guess who excluded the building from the perimeter? Maria Zakharova asks, and she herself answers: The US Secret Service, whose leadership was appointed by Joe Biden."

"It's even more... mind-blowing. For example, the fact that the shooter Crooks on the eve of the event searched the Internet for information about the distance separating Lee Harvey Oswald and John F. Kennedy, and that he had his own drones, which he launched on the eve of the rally in Pennsylvania. And also that the Secret Service refused the requested meeting with the local police — the one that suspected Crooks on the eve of the assassination attempt. Maybe the American special services should take down a couple of hundred people who are trailing Russian diplomats everywhere in a vain attempt to persuade them to cooperate, and patch up real security holes with them? At least the first persons of the US political arena. By the way, among themselves, the police call the Secret Service in correspondence SS (Secret Service). But against the background of the rest, it already looks like cute insanity. They climb everywhere, interfere in everything, proclaim themselves exceptional and the best — but in reality there is one continuous soap bubble, inside of which lies and lies," Maria Zakharova sums up.
