Who's Lying? Secret Service or Local Police?

Ronald Rowe is answering questions in the Senate hearing today answering questions with answers that are not in line with with the local police have stated publicly.  They can't both be telling the truth. 

The Secret Service had denied claims that it rejected requests for additional security at the July 13 rally at which Trump was shot, but the agency later acknowledged it had rejected such requests previously. ( Washington Post)

Local Pilice Contradict Secret Service

The Beaver Police ESU said they had no contact with the Secret Service until after the assassination attempt. 

"We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service members whenever they arrived, and that never happened," said Jason Woods, team leader for Beaver County's Emergency Services Unit and SWAT sniper section.

The Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris said two ESU snipers left their post (with a direct line of sight to shoot Crooks) to track down Crooks ( Trump's potential assassin). 

Police received a call and a text from the ESU about Crooks’ activity that they immediately relayed to Secret Service. This was a joint effort to protect the president from local, state, and federal law enforcement. 

The local police have already been on record stating they only were there to engage in foot patrol. 

The Senate Hearing...

Acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe told senators that the Secret Service met with the local police, but failed to mention the Secret Service never met with the ESU or snipers from the local police. He even said his team leaders met with all the team leaders of the local law enforcement team leaders, including ostensibly the sniper team leader.

Rowe also admits he wants to find out why his secret service did not use the drones offered by the local police after the Secret Service drones were not functional that day for some reason.  And he also admits radio communication was not working either.

Of course when asked why no one has been fired, as with every hearing with the FBI , Secret Service, or Homeland Security, the reply seems to always be," We're still in the middle of an investigation."
