Rowe got into some tense exchanges with senators at the hearing over security failures at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month. Here are a few key moments from the hearing.

Dig deeper, there is much more to this.
All the radio communications from the Secret Service on that day were all deleted, well ain’t that convenient? Can you just hear the Secret Service after this happens… we gotta delete this radio communication traffic, what are we gonna do, we’ll just delete it and we’ll worry about it afterwards, we’ll just say it was a glitch so no individual will be blamed for it… got it.
Why not have a handful of local law enforcement have a comms device that communicates directly with secret service. Their ear pieces and mikes are small and could be worn in conjunction with their local comms system.
We put our top globalist scientists on the case to compare the gun to the backpack and it seems like the gun might be a little bigger so it might could have possibly have been sticking out, maybe. Our crack tram figured that all out, but we're not ready to commit to that assessment.
This dude is lying, it’s already been confirmed Secret Service and local law enforcement were all inside a building in the air conditioned building. Also the killer as he was climbing onto the building he was confronted by local police and the killer pointed his rifle at the officer. Why? Don’t this interviewer ask the hard questions, why is she kissing his ass.
How did the killer get a backpack, a rifle, a drone, a bike and a freaking ladder into the rally? Seriously this assassin had support to make this happen. Large group of upper criminal in Washington were counting on this killer, he failed now the Alphabet and everyone involved are back stepping now and playing the blame game. I demand something be done and lots of people go to jail
Its obivious Crooks had help not only the Ar15 but a range finder and a drone. Someone looked the other way or was assisting Crooks.What the Secret Service doesnt want to admit is maybe one of their own Agents may have assisted the shooter.
The Secret Service would have us believe they didn't control all communication for the rally. They are covering up something.
When it comes to multiple law enforcement agencies , you meet in a common area you all do radio checks
Listen Mr director, why wouldn't a backpack of any sort be a suspicion ,where are your K nine units, what about bombs, are they not trained to be observing for all types of dangers ?
You're fired, get out of here
This director is full of BS,
They know how easily these AR-15s break down with slip pins
He walked in like he owned the place
Iooks like he did
did you collect the phone
of the CIA lady behind Mr Trump
The guy was 200 yards from the rally..It was like the guy walked in and sat down with a Ar15…Some of these people are idiots..
I cannot believe that people can casually walk into a rally carrying a gun.
Tgank you for asking these questions nicely and without yelling lije an idiot. You are classly. Unlike Ted Cruz screaming and acting lije an idiot.let them dontheir jobs
I went to social services and there were metal detector officers and i emptied my pockets and i had a tiny 1 and half inch pen knife, i was told that has to be taken outside the building
Assessment? This is a farce. The man brought a large object (weapon), and they wondered how. How about… never mind?
Does this lady "just pretends – says" that the SS-FBI work for the democratic party and their components-operators?
He disguised it as a teddy bear.
Lies. The second he was spotted with the range finder, they would have swept in on him and searched him; i've seen it before with any thing they think is "suspicious." This was not jus incompetence.
