The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability will soon hold a hearing on “potential vulnerabilities within the U.S. Secret Service” that prevent this agency from protecting high-profile figures such as President Donald J. Trump from assassination. This follows reports of fights breaking out among armed Secret Service agents and “potential insider threats” that threaten national security.
The federal law enforcement agency has been plagued by sex and alcohol scandals but more recently its agents have been trying to protect themselves from dog bites by the German Shepherd “Commander,” the Biden family dog.
The Secret Service is a component of the Department of Homeland Security, run by Open Borders architect Alejandro Mayorkas. That means that the federal official ultimately in charge of the Secret Service “protection” for Trump is at the same time turning a blind eye to hundreds of foreign terrorists entering the country, perhaps to assassinate Trump.
The handwriting is on the wall – Trump’s life is in danger because the federal agency in charge of protecting him has been seriously compromised and perhaps even infiltrated.
As we document in our report, Marked for Death, the FBI and Secret Service coordinated the armed raid on the former president’s home. Judicial Watch announced that it had obtained a recording of a phone message left by an FBI special agent for “someone” at the Secret Service in regard to the raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
Tom Rogan of the Washington Examiner was the first to report that an armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris‘s protective detail fought with other agents at Andrews Air Force Base. The agent was handcuffed, taken away, and given “medical care” of some kind.
The American public is still left in the dark about what exactly happened and whether the Secret Service agent had a psychotic episode or was stoned on the job.
The situation is so bad that Jennifer Jacobs, White House reporter for Bloomberg News, reported, “There’s a petition circulating inside the US Secret Service that flags concerns about ‘a number of recent Secret Service incidents indicative of inadequate training,’ a double standard in disciplinary actions, and a vulnerability ‘to potential insider threats’ that could pose a risk” to national security.
In our new report on the plots against Trump, we argued that Trump desperately needs a personal protection detail.
The new developments suggest another federal agency is mired in corruption and perhaps infiltrated by hotheads and left-wing zealots of various sorts.
The briefing on corruption in the Secret Service will take place on June 21 under the jurisdiction of House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., who cites reports that the Secret Service agent “chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled and punched him while still having her gun in her holster, which concerned her colleagues.”
Another account by Susan Crabtree said the agent “began mumbling to herself, hid behind curtains, and started throwing items, including menstrual pads…” She quoted Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, as saying the agency’s embrace of the 30/30 initiative, a feminist campaign to increase the representation of women in police agencies, was not a factor in the debacle.
However, various reports indicate the agent is a radical feminist who served with the Dallas Police Department and has a history of charging her male superiors with oppression, even filing a lawsuit over alleged discrimination. The lawsuit was dismissed.
Biden’s director of the U.S. Secret Service is Kimberly A. Cheatle and she oversees “candidate protection” and security-related measures at the Republican and Democratic national conventions. But she reports to Mayorkas.
Comer has charged that the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Secret Service were involved in efforts to block the Secret Service from sending information to Congress regarding the Justice Department’s attempt to let Hunter Biden off the hook for his criminal activities.
Charged with protecting the nation’s leaders and financial infrastructure, the agency has been wracked by scandals for over a decade and keeps insisting the situation has been fixed and cleaned up.
In 2021, in response to the release of a book on scandals in the Secret Service, its director of communications said the book “re-hashes past challenges the agency overcame and evolved from.”
The scandals included a 2012 incident involving Secret Service employees drinking heavily and hiring prostitutes while preparing for a trip by then-President Barack Obama to Cartagena, Colombia.
The agency denied there was a dangerous culture within the Secret Service and the inspector general’s office of the Department of Homeland Security said such conduct was not “widespread.” However, it offered 14 ways to minimize such conduct and eliminate wrong-doers.
As if protecting the nation’s leaders is not enough of a problem, Secret Service agents have not been able to defend themselves against Joe Biden’s family dog Commander, a vicious German Shepherd.
The public interest legal group Judicial Watch had to go to court and sued for Secret Service records on attacks on White House personnel and Secret Service officers. Records have since been obtained, showing Commander was involved in at least 23 “biting incidents” and that one attack even halted East Wing tours due to blood on the floor.
But the bigger threats come from left-wing radicals, as we document in our latest report, and foreign terrorists pouring across the border.
A former top leader at the U.S. Secret Service and Homeland Security by the name of Charles Marino has written, Terrorists on the Border and in Our Country. According to Newsmax, he claims thousands of men and women linked to terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and other terror groups have been easily crossing into the United States.
A press release for his book declares that he “identifies what created the problem in the first place – radical, left-wing politicians and woke, progressive, nation-wrecking policies.” On his X account, he declared, “Never have we literally been able to see the national security of the United States be allowed to crumble before our very eyes. This will have significant security repercussions for our country for decades to come. This is a fact.”
He provided testimony on “Terrorist Entry Through the Southwest Border” on September 14, 2023.
But the threat now appears to be within the Secret Service itself, as the agents drink themselves into drunken stupors and hire prostitutes while on duty in foreign countries.
Rep. Comer wonders whether the incident involving the agent fighting with other agents is related to a “hiring and screening process” and a lowering of standards “as part of a diversity, equity, and inclusion effort.”
Even more ominous, it could be a case of infiltration of those intending to do harm to America’s former president. The FBI was caught weeding out Trump supporters from getting jobs with security clearances and it is reasonable to assume the Secret Service is applying the same lack of “standards” and hiring left-wing zealots in their place.
The FBI was infiltrated by a Russian agent for 21 years named Robert Hanssen.
What is clear is that Trump needs to hire professional and private security guards to protect him and his family from the FBI and the Secret Service.
