The DHS's Evasiveness and Incompetence Is Too Much Even for Leftwing Democrat Partisan Senator Richard "Danang Dick" Blumenthal, Who Accuses the Agency of "Stonewalling" About Its Botched Protection of Trump

Before that: The report about a bomb being found near a Trump rally is claimed to have been a false report.

Police say there is no threat to former President Donald Trump's rally site on Long Island after 'explosives' were reportedly found in a car near the site.

A spokesperson for the Nassau County Police Department confirmed to DailyMail.com that 'there was a suspicious occurrence' on Wednesday ahead of Trump's speech where thousands of MAGA fans are gathering.

But there is 'no validity' to a report that there was an 'explosive device found.'

'Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded,' said Nassau County Commissioner of Police Patrick Ryde.

'There is a person who is being questioned who may have been training a bomb detection dog near the site. The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and that individual is currently being detained by police.'

And when you've lost Dick Blumenthal...

A Democratic senator accused the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of "stonewalling" requests for information about the first attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told reporters Monday from a Senate office building that DHS has not provided documents, witnesses nor other evidence relating to the July assassination attempt.

"I am reaching the point of total outrage, because the response from the Department of Homeland Security has been totally lacking. In fact, I think it's tantamount to stonewalling in many respects," Sen. Blumenthal said.

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has been investigating any security failures that led to the assassination attempt. Sen. Blumenthal sits on that committee.

"The Department of Homeland Security has to be more forthcoming, not only to me, but to the American people, and it has to do it quickly or it will fuel the conspiracy theories that are so dangerous to our democracy, as well as undermining its own credibility," he said.

One of those conspiracy theories is that government actors orchestrated the shooting. Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., said in a radio interview that he didn't "put it past some of the people in our government to do anything necessary to hold on to power," according to The New York Times.

Sen. Blumenthal said that he has expressed his frustration to DHS, adding that he would support a subpoena to obtain evidence of what actually happened.

"I'll certainly support a subpoena. It takes very little drafting to do a subpoena here and even less time," he noted. "I know how to do subpoenas. I'm ready, willing and able to use the subpoena process if necessary to get information from the Department of Homeland Security."

The Secret Service admits that it again failed to follow its own procedures in providing Fake Protection to Trump, not even taking the basic step of searching the golf course before Trump arrived there.
