‼️‼️ When asked about the threat level against Trump, the Secret Service representative (who didn't identify himself) said: "We live in dangerous times."
Indeed.
AK-47 *could connote a foreign connection, one source in the Secret Service community tells me.
If you haven't already, I recommend you read the FBI proffer with the assassination plotter who was arrested on July 12 that Sen. Chuck Grassley put out last week, link of my coverage of it, below. The FBI was extremely angry that Grassley's office released it - -but the granular detail of the plot that alleged plotter Asif Merchant, a Palestinian citizen with deep ties to Iran, was incredibly chilling. Merchant was in an Iranian safe house with an Iranian handler and was evaluating their plan to assassinate Trump – discussing whether it should be at an indoor or outdoor rally, whether the assassin should use a rifle or a pistol, how many security assets the Secret Service had in place.
Merchant and his handler identified as Yousef concluded they had a 50/50 chance of being successful in such an assassination plot against Trump. Yousef also suggested it could be targeting Joe Biden or Nikki Haley, but Merchant told the FBI that he knew it was intended for Trump.
Here is all that information:
