The Secret Service, with its abject incompetence (at best) thoroughly exposed in the wake of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, is now going to get some help.
This from frontpagemag.com.
The Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, has announced that his department will be providing those charged with guarding the presidential and vice presidential candidates with “additional military support capabilities.”
We the People can rest easy knowing the people responsible for The Regime’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan in Aug. 2021 will now be ensuring some young ideologue does not try again to make the left’s Trump problem go away for good. What could possibly go wrong?
Reuters reported recently:
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh did not provide details on the type of support that would be provided but said Austin had directed U.S. Northern Command to plan and provide support to the Secret Service at various locations during the election.
A Secret Service wonk was a bit more forthcoming, having explained:
[A]s part of this effort, the Department of Defense is providing the U.S. Secret Service with additional assistance including logistics, transportation, and communications, through the 2024 campaign season.
But the assassination attempt on Trump exposed the Secret Service as being either abjectly incompetent or in collusion to commit the assassination. How effective can they possibly be at providing protection—a failed agency that was perhaps complicit partnering with an agency that oversaw the disastrously botched Afghanistan withdrawal? Plus, the Obiden-Harris Regime is far from demonstrating ardent patriotic ideals and they do not present themselves as being committed to the founding ideals of the American republic.
After all, the Secret Service has already identified and neutralized its fall guys for their failure to prevent a skeevy young leftist from getting off eight shots at Trump.
Fox News reported last week:
[A]t least five members of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) have been placed on administrative leave [because of their failures in connection with the Trump shooting].
This means:
[T]he five are still employed, [drawing your hard-earned money], but are teleworking and are no longer allowed in the field. They cannot do any investigative work.
Clearly, these five agents were not responsible for the Secret Service’s July 13 debacle. There was a long string of inexplicable mistakes, all committed by veteran agents, including the head of the agency—all of whom were democrats (communists/globalists).
According to Fox:
[The Secret Service has] concluded internal interviews to understand how Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to fire several shots from the AGR building in Butler, [a building that was so close to Trump that there should have been no question of the Secret Service securing it].
Yet Crooks was able to climb onto its roof and shoot at Trump despite being spotted by numerous individuals long before he got off his eight shots.
Even worse:
[T]ext messages sent by local law enforcement responsible for monitoring the rally flagged Crooks to colleagues as suspicious at least 90 minutes before he opened fire. Despite this, he was still able to shoot at Trump and the crowd.
As is usually the case with stories involving the Biden-Harris regime, it gets even worse.
CBS News reported:
[On July 24 FBI director Christopher Wray] told members of the House Judiciary Committee that the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, flew a drone near the site of the rally roughly two hours before he opened fire. Wray said investigators recovered the drone in Crooks’ vehicle, and the bureau believes he was watching video streamed from the device to scout the area.
Further, Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe:
[C]ould not explain how Crooks was able to fly his drone but the Secret Service could not [fly theirs], and he expressed regret for the agency’s choice to decline local law enforcement’s offer to fly drones overhead.
Is the Secret Service really that incompetent? If so, is the Defense Department really going to be of any significant help?
Final thoughts: President Trump and everyone backing him should at least consider hiring their own security detail.
