Something I would like to hear about is the firing of the "middle management" levels that were resposible for planning the whole security event. I am tired of seeing a colossal debacle only to see a CEO or Head forced to retire early and no one else held to account.

That's how it work, no one under ever gets held responsible. Congress won't ever do the work to figure out who or where the failure occurred.

Exactly the point. Anyone taking a CEO position simply knows it is a roll of the dice on time until something serious enough happens and you are the designated fall guy. The rest of the swamp is exonerated to go ahead and do it all over again.

Most of our letter agencies are an administrative lost cause and need to be eliminated. The very few critically needed agencies should be dissolved and rebuilt from scratch.

We saw in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, an incredible amount of failures and problems revealed with the Secret Service protection on that day, as well as other Secret Service coverage.


In addition to the unbelievable failures in Butler, there have been other big problems, including the recent report from Susan Crabtree of Real Clear Politics about the Secret Service agent who was supposed to be on duty assisting with Trump's visit to North Carolina on Wednesday who just walked off the job to breastfeed her child, allegedly without permission or warning her superiors.

How is that even possible? And how does she still have a job after doing that? The Secret Service said that the circumstances of the situation are now being "examined," as we reported. But when you see all the "mistakes," it's no wonder people are very concerned about Trump's safety and, more broadly, what's going on with the Secret Service.



Now, Crabtree has another breaking report, and this time, it concerns former Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, who resigned last month in disgrace after a bipartisan Congressional grilling over the failures surrounding the Trump protection in Butler. But guess what? Now, she is being given Secret Service protection — on the orders of Joe Biden, according to Crabtree.



The Secret Service is providing Kimberly Cheatle, its former director who resigned last month, a security detail in an unprecedented effort to protect a former agency chief amid lingering national anger about the myriad security lapses under her watch. Those failures led to the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and the killing of firefighter Corey Comperatore, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
Cheatle has faced an ongoing firestorm of fury from American citizens, and even rank-and-file Secret Service special agents and officers, over the agency’s failures that created an opening for shooter Thomas Crooks to open fire on Trump, piercing his ear and killing Comperatore in front of his family and wounding two other rally-goers.
President Biden ordered the taxpayer-funded protection for Cheatle, these sources say, because she was facing numerous threats, especially on social media from individuals angered by the agency’s failures on July 13 and her lack of transparency during her testimony to the House Oversight Committee July 22. She resigned the next day.
Threatening indivduals have also approached her, knowledgable sources tell RCP.

Now, Biden can authorize such protection, that's within his powers. But it's just incredible that after all the failures that she was in charge of regarding Trump, Biden is now giving her protection. And we're paying for it.

Is this an effort to make her a victim here? Trump was the victim here — he almost was killed because of the failure to protect him.


Will they do a better job for her than they have for Trump? How about making sure that Trump's protection is adequate and answering the questions surrounding the failures? Biden didn't want to give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. protection, even after what happened to his father and his uncle, and threats against him, until Biden was shamed into it after the attempt on Trump. Yet he appears to jump to protect Cheatle.

The Bidens are close to Cheatle from her time protecting Biden on the vice presidential detail. First lady Jill Biden helped select her for the director role in 2022, the New York Post first reported and sources in the Secret Service community confirmed to RCP.

The Secret Service spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi, said they don't talk about "protective intelligence" or employees and refused to confirm the report. That sounds a lot like a non-confirmation that's a confirmation since she's no longer an employee.
 
That woman just looks like someone who sits outside of a trailer park rental smoking Marlboro 100s with her laundry hanging on a line to dry while yelling at her 6 kids running around.

I highly doubt that there are any CREDIBLE threats to her and especially now after a month or so.

I had never heard about the lady walking off the job to breastfeed. That is insane if true. I know there are laws on providing time and location for that but damn.

Secret Service agent who abandoned post to breastfeed minutes before Trump arrival broke more protocols​

August 16, 2024 | Tom Tillison | Print Article
Almost one month to the day former President Donald Trump was nearly killed by a would-be assassin who managed to outsmart the Secret Service, an agent with the agency abandoned her post at Trump’s rally in Ashville, North Carolina, without permission to breastfeed her baby.
That’s according to RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree, who said in an exclusive report that “a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.”
The failed assassination on July 13 was marked by several female agents who appeared to be overwhelmed by the chaos unfolding before them, seemingly lost and unsure of what to do, and the female agent’s alleged actions at Trump’s rally on Wednesday, August 14, only adds to the controversy.
“Shortly before Trump’s motorcade arrival — I’m told five minutes beforehand — the site agent was getting ready for the arrival. (The site agent is the person in charge of the entire event’s security.) The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president,” Crabtree reported.


After pointing out that a working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment, Crabtree said the agent was in the room with two other family members.

“The agent and her family members bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint and were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room to breastfeed, the sources said. Unpinned means they have not been cleared by the Secret Service to be there,” the reporter added.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Crabtree that the incident did not have an impact on the event, but is under review.
“All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards,” Guglielmi said. “While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.”
Conservative personality Matt Walsh, who believes radical gender ideology is a cultural disease that’s plaguing America, was very vocal about the alleged incident.

“It’s absurd for a Secret Service agent to be breastfeeding on the job,” he posted on X. “However it would also be absurd for a Secret Service agent to breastfeed at home on her own time.”

“It’s absurd and morally grotesque to have mothers of young children in a position like this at all,” Walsh added. “A Secret Service agent has to be prepared to throw themselves in front of a bullet. A functional, decent society does not ask mothers to do that for anyone but their own children.”
The one consistency from the Secret Service since Trump was almost killed has been a complete lack of accountability for the catastrophic failings seen by the agency that fateful day. There is no confidence the latest blunder will be properly addressed either, and there is no confidence in the woman’s judgment as an agent OR a mother.

Why in the fuck is she taking her child to work in the first place? It's not like she's at an office type job:shaking:

The most charitable assumption would be that she used her pull to get her family into the event and they stopped by and say hi and she took the opportunity to let the thing suck a titty.

Beyond that, lord fucking knows.
