Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe is trying to deflect some of the blame related to Donald Trump attempted murder… claiming they were not informed of essential information in advance.
The law enforcement expert addressed the shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — which left one attendee dead and the previous president injured — at a new press conference on Friday.
The Secret Service has been criticized for allowing the attack to happen in the first place… with the former director Kimberly Cheatle finally resigning after a tense testimony before Congress.
But it appears his successor is now trying to turn around and accept full blame for the gross oversight… as he informed reporters, the Secret Service never got a radio call with details about the shooter.

As RR said… there was someone who broadcast on the radio about Thomas Matthew Crooks having a gun on the roof during the rally — however, the most important information never reached the brokers.
He added… “Our element, our counter snipers, everyone who was there that day, was working under the idea and under the last bit of knowledge that they had gotten that there was a problem that the locals were working on at 3 o’clock.”

While Rowe said the miscommunication was not the fault of any one person — calling the July 13 shooting a “very hectic scenario” — he appeared to shift some of the blame back to local authorities.

Cheatle tried an identical technique in her first interview after the attack… as she told ABC News, local police were in and around the building as the TMC fired on Trump and his rallygoers.

Although Rowe did not essentially buy into this rhetoric… for he knew that no one else should be held responsible for “our Secret Service failure.”
His big message to the press conference??? “We will earn your trust again.”
