After claiming to have ramped up security around former President Donald Trump because of an Iranian plot to assassinate him, the Secret Service provided only three agency personnel for “post-standing” Trump’s fateful July 13 Pennsylvania rally, compared to the 12 post-standers that first lady Jill Biden received at a dinner in nearby Pittsburgh that night, according to emails between and among Secret Service personnel obtained by RealClearPolitics.

The Secret Service typically assigns special agents in a candidate’s detail, or “shift” agents in Secret Service lingo, to posts within an inner perimeter of an event. The middle perimeter is then monitored by agents pulled for local Secret Service field offices and assigned as “post-standers” assigned to specific spots and responsible for security specific targeted areas. //

To be fair, it does make sense that they'd assign more resources to protect the current president. /s. //

Now, let's dig a little deeper and see if it gets even more interesting. Three were assigned to the Butler, PA detail. Was this a one time, singular, reduction? Was this abnormally low compared to the weeks and months prior? In other words, did the Secret Service reduce protection specifically for this event? An event where they secured the building the shooter used but allowed him to access the roof? An event where multiple law enforcement and bystanders reported a man with a rifle in a shooting position and they chose to look the other way? //

Now all needs to be done to make a head count of attendees at fake-doctor Jill's event and Trump's event to get a "post" to attendees ratio to evaluate that there is no political bias in assigning Aecret Servuce Agents.
I can tell you already, that Jill's 6 attendees event got already more agents assigned than Trump's 30,000 attendees!
Wow, politicising needed personal protection for opposition party's candidates!
