Direct line of sight. Now, look, in you know, my military experience, but also just common sense, there is no way that that building was just left unsecured. And We're hearing excuses this morning from the Secret Service director saying they couldn't put snipers on top of that roof because the rooftop was secured. Okay, but then why wasn't the perimeter around the building secured? Why wasn't the access point to the roof, why wasn't that secured? This wasn't a very congested urban area. (04:36–04:44)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Secret Service director claimed snipers couldn't be placed on the roof due to security.
