Dan Bongino revealed what disturbed him the most about the Trump assassination attempt
An assassin nearly killed Donald Trump on July 13.
Six weeks later the American people are no closer to the truth.
And now Dan Bongino revealed what disturbed him the most about the Trump assassination attempt.
Dan Bongino calls out layered incompetence
A panel of House Republicans held a forum at the Heritage Foundation on the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
At the forum, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said he found it greatly concerning the “layered incompetence” on display by the Secret Service.
The Secret Service didn’t secure a building 130 yards from the stage where Trump spoke.
They photographed the gunman on the roof of the building.
Law enforcement witnessed the would-be assassin scouting out the area with a range finder.
“How did you not have a roofline 130 yards away secured when you are taught day one in Secret Service training that the effective range of a quality sniper is 1,000 yards?” Bongino began.
Bongino said the only reason the Secret Service could have missed all these security lapses was intentional.
“I’m sorry,” Bongino added. “Layered incompetence like that is absolutely intent.”
Republicans question the investigation
Republican members of Congress on the panel told the Daily Caller they had no faith in the leadership of either the FBI or the Secret Service to run a legitimate investigation.
“I have faith in the rank and file members of the FBI doing an investigation,” Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) stated.
“I have zero faith in the head shed in the leadership of the FBI to actually release the information to the American people.,” Crane added.
Crane said the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mindset at the top of these agencies would push any investigation towards shielding any institutional failures and would yield disappointing results.
“I think there’s a lot of political bias within most of our major federal institutions,” Crane added. “I think there’s a lot of even DEI, woke, cultural Marxist ideology that permeates many of these institutions and leads the leaders of these institutions. Not really to represent the American people at all, but to protect the institution at all costs.”
Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) told the Daily Caller he didn’t trust the Secret Service or the FBI to get the job done.
“So there’s four investigations going on right now,” Biggs stated. “You got two in the Secret Service, one in the FBI, and you have one from the Inspector General. That’s the only one that I trust. I would trust the Inspector General, which is Inspector General Cuffari. And oddly enough, the establishment of this administration is trying to have him fired.”
Why conservatives held their own forum
Conservatives held this forum out of the fear the official investigations were nothing more than a whitewash.
Six weeks later law enforcement still won’t even confirm the shooter’s motive.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) put together a bipartisan task force, but conservatives smell a rat.
Investigator Jerry Dunleavy resigned from the House Foreign Affairs Committee investigation into the Afghanistan debacle because he charged Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) of trying to cover up the extent of the failure to protect Deep State favorites like woke former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

Conservatives fear a repeat of that debacle.
And so, members like Crane and Biggs took matters into their own hands to get to the bottom of the worst Secret Service failure in over 40 years.
