The Issue: The failed assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pa., one year ago.
I’m not surprised at the lack of information on the assassination attempt in Butler. Pa. (“We Still Need Answers on Butler,” Editorial, July 12).
When I read that we should be given “a full tick-tock timeline of exactly who decided what when, and so left such gaping holes in Trump’s security,” my first thought was: Good luck.
We have minute-by-minute accounts of some of the events that took place on Jan. 6 verified by actual recordings, and those led nowhere. The former Capitol Police chief, Steven Sund, even wrote “Courage Under Fire” about his many requests for assistance — with very appropriate suggestions to his “higher ups” — that were ignored.
So don’t hold your breath waiting for accountability in the assassination attempt. Although I hope to be proven wrong.
