Listening to this right now.
Totally evasive on both parts.
They do not know , still, what happened within the agencies
that were in charge on the day Trump was shot.
They both have to get the info and get back to which senator
is asking things.
IOW... This sure smells like turning their backs on what was going.
They admitted that the Trump request for additional protection
was denied.
They have to be complicit... both FBI and Secret Service.
The very BEST scenario is they were incredibly incompetent.

The local authorities offered either the Secret Service a drone for surveillance and it WAS TURNED DOWN. ::frown::
That was confirmed at the hearing this morning.
Why would the SS decline such an offer?
This was also reported in the New York Post.

Secret Service turned down police offer of drone help before Trump assassination bid: whistleblower
Local law enforcement proposed to help with drone technology at the Butler, Pa. rally where former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated earlier this month but was turned down by the Secret Service, a whistleblower claimed, according to Sen. Josh Hawley.
Hawley (R-Mo.), 44, penned a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday demanding answers about a whistleblower's allegations that the Secret Service "repeatedly" rejected the offer.
"The night before the rally, US Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally," Hawley wrote to Mayorkas citing the whistleblower.
"The whistleblower further alleges that after the shooting took place, USSS changed course and asked the local partner to deploy the drone technology to surveil the site in the aftermath of the attack," he added.
The Department of Homeland Security is the agency that oversees the Secret Service.

And also it was driven home, loudly, about the Trump requests for more security and the SS denying it.
