They had already talked to the cemetery and set up the visit and the rules were given to him (or his handlers) at that time. He (they ) were told it was just to be a personal visit with whatever handlers he required (ex.- secret service) but that campaign staff and photos/video was strictly forbidden. So him showing up with his campaign posse looking to do a photo op was something they already knew ahead of time was not allowed.
Edit - curse you autocorrect!
They really should have had more than just this one lady there to enforce that. They knew this was a risk and they were worried about him following the rules.
Why should a cemetery for fallen soldiers NEED to make sure a former President of the United States isn’t coming to the cemetery with his campaign to do a photoshoot they were specifically told in advance was not permitted (and was illegal)? Why should the burden of Trump following the law be on cemetery staff?
And he broke the law and had photographic and video evidence to prove it, so why doesn’t law enforcement stop treating these chuds like they are above the law and arrest them and let them make their case in court.
Because they knew he was likely to violate the rules they laid out, and when a controlling entity knows a high-profile likely lawbreaker is incoming they should staff accordingly rather than pretend a single email means he’ll do it. It was worth their time to talk about it at high levels and define rules for his visit, it shouldn’t have been to a single woman to actually be there and tell him no. Just have some federal agents there to arrest them as soon as they do something illegal.
And yeah, now that he broke the law, they should prosecute him.
