I also find the blame game between the SS and the local authorities to be pretty funny. Of course nobody wants to take responsibility when shxt hits the fan, but none of that changes the fact that shxt did hit the fan.

I saw an interview with the director of the SS and she essentially said the buck stops with her. So she's definitely not dodging any blame, which I found refreshing. She's doing a full investigation and she said at the end of the day, she's the director of the SS, so she's responsible.
Also, Trumps team asked for increased SS budget, but they were denied. I suspect because they didn't think his threat level was high or his position wasn't high enough yet.
