**Interview with Larry Johnson and Scott Ritter.**
Larry Johnson (former intelligence agent) and Scott Ritter on the Trump assassination attempt (former Marine Corps intelligence official.
Johnson
Johnson has been preparing for an interview with a previous Secret Service agent. The first time that Johnson talked with the former agent, the agent said “let’s not jump to any conclusions.” In a later call the agent, after looking into the assassination attempt, the agent said, “man, this stinks.”
The regular secret service teams was taken off the protection team. They were replaced an inexperienced agent from Pittsburgh and no 360 degree sweep of the perimeter - which was regular procedure - wasn’t done.
Protocol demands that once a potential threat is found the protectee is pulled out of public view until the threat is resolved. That obviously wasn’t done.
There was no integrated security communications.
There was no protocol for identifying friendly protective agents from potential threats.
There were simply too many “mistakes” at the management level. Could it be a coincidence? Johnson said, “I don’t believe in coincidences.”
Johnson doesn’t believe that there were multiple shooters. His main reason is that the shots stopped when Crooks was killed.
Ritter
Ritter said that his specialty was not with Secret Service but in other fields. But he has worked with Secret Service and he is sure that Trump was set up to be killed. Normally, Secret Service protocols are “air tight.” There is zero tolerance for error. You simply don’t get away with even making minor errors. Accordingly, the attempt to assassinate Trump was, in his opinion, a desperation move due to the failure of the lawfare plans to eliminate Trump by litigation. One of the dead giveaways is that on one in the chain of command was screaming bloody murder that this should never have happened. Ritter believes that someone in the Secret Service was involved.
The alleged Iran plan to assassinate Trump is a nonsense diversion tactic. The Iranians were furious at the assassination of Soleimani, but there is no way that they would try to assassinate Trump at this time. The would kill an American general in the mideast became an easy target, they would kill him in a heartbeat. But they would not kill an American presidential candidate at this time.
The shooter had three phones with multiple encryption channels with overseas contacts, “what the hell is going on here?”
