Fox News host floored by revelation that Secret Service opened fire on Trump’s would-be assassin from five feet away — and missed every shot​

Not enough information, IMO. Sounds like it could have been a case of "five feet away, but running," or where the agent misjudged the position of the shooter (say, thinking he was looking down the scope but was actually in some other position relative to the rifle).

sounds to me like he was shooting blindly at the general area of the barrel and hoping to hit something... quick reaction to thwart a possible shot on target from the assassin. Pretty sure he would have had more than 6 round in the mag!

Utter bullshit, from a bullshit story. Told by bullshitters,

Incompetence again? Yeah I got bridge to sell ya.

Human shields.

We qualified partially at 7 feet..then moved out..15ft..then 25 ft. It seemed that at 7 feet..I could touch the target. Handgun. How far from the target person be from the muzzle with arms outstretched at 5 ft? Even moving..lead and wind correction? lol

Perhaps they should be issued sticks instead of firearms. Clearly the S S is yet another government agency ruined by the corrupt Biden/Harris epic fail.
