Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:

On the Secret Service Report: 

“Two minutes before shots were fired, the Secret Service knew there was a man on the roof for two minutes they left the President out there exposed before those shots were fired, and then back up for at least 30 minutes, the Secret Service knew that there was a suspicious character out there with the range binder.”

“Why did they let the President take the stage? Why didn’t they get them off the stage? I think what this report reveals is, number one is there’s a lack of a chain of command. They had a horrible plan. It was executed even worse, and the communications were siloed. It will take days to break down the failures, but there is a cultural rot within the Secret Service. We need a crisis management team to go in there yesterday, turn this place upside down and start over.”

On Counter Sniper Team in Butler:

“So number one, there was absolutely a credible threat that day. And I can’t go into the specifics of what the credible threats were, but the Trump team, the Secret Service, knew of a very credible threat to President Trump, and I think that is one of the reasons why they had this counter sniper team.”

“Look, there was a credible threat there. The Secret Service failed. No one is accepting responsibility… And that’s why we need to turn this place upside down. And I go back to this: They need a crisis management team to go in there and take the place over.”

On the Whistleblower Claim: 

“I keep going back to this. It is so broken. We need someone like a Mike Pompeo to step in there and take over and get President Trump the protection he needs.”

“This is why it’s so important, Americans are out there thinking, if we cannot protect our leaders, can they protect us? So, we need to give all the resources necessary to protect President Trump. It’s very obvious that Iran, that Russia, that China, does not want Donald Trump to be president again. They’re scared to death of him.”
