It seems no one hear it BUT a reporter...   And for Obama, that makes
it true...   Alas the Secret Service can not find any else who heard
it...

... Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an
undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law
enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.

“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-
Tribune.

He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing
the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation
other than Singleton.

Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed
Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the
rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the
Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say
he heard someone yell “kill him.”

“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We
had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard
it.”

Hackett said he did not hear the remark.

Slavoski said Singleton was interviewed Wednesday and stood by his
story but couldn’t give a description of the man because he didn’t see
him he only heard him.

When contacted Wednesday afternoon, Singleton referred questions to
Times-Tribune Metro Editor Jeff Sonderman. Sonderman said, “We stand
by the story. The facts reported are true and that’s really all there
is.”

Slavoski said the agents take such threats or comments seriously and
immediately opened an investigation but after due diligence “as far as
we’re concerned it’s closed unless someone comes forward.” He urged
anyone with knowledge of the alleged incident to call him at 346-5781.
“We’ll run at all leads,” he said.
