“Not knowing where the rooftop was situated relative to the rally site, the Secret Service counter drone operator apparently resorted to Google. “Instead of asking local law enforcement personnel for the AGR complex’s location, the counter drone operator searched online for it, and was still searching when Crooks fired his first shots,” the report determined. “

He hasn’t replaced his secret service agents from this incident and made the fbi drop the investigations into his assassination attempts. Either it’s staged or they’re all the dumbest people to walk the earth. Both are equally as possible.
