Whistleblower Comes Forward Regarding Secret Service Resources
The Director of the Secret Service has a real problem on her hands right now.
Anyone who watched the Trump rally where a would-be assassin almost killed him could see that the team protecting Trump that day was not exactly the A team.
In fact, it did not even look like the B team, and now we are finding out why.
Stretched
The first buzz on this subject was from RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree.
She had posted, "Secret Services resources were diverted to Jill Biden's event and away from Trump's because they followed agency protocol applying to Trump as a former president, according to two sources within the Secret Service community.
"But Trump is not just a former president -- he is the first in modern history to have run for president again -- and he has been the focus of several prosecutions and controversies (understatement intentional). Who made the decision to divert the resources to Jill Biden's event?"
That was followed up by a report from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who penned a letter to FBI Director Wray, whose agency is leading the investigation into the Trump assassination.
In part, his letter stated, “Law enforcement overlooked a number of vulnerabilities prior to and during the event, allowing an assassin to shoot a President, murder an attendee, and critically wound two others.”

Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi stated, “We cannot comment on matters related to an ongoing investigation at this time.
“We of course are committed to working with the appropriate and relevant investigations of what happened on July 13, including with Congress, the Inspector General, and both internal and independent reviews.”
The fact that the Secret Service was understaffed makes it even more infuriating that they allowed Trump to go on that stage with a known threat in the area.
This is a massive breakdown of security protocols that never should have happened.
Yet Biden has not even hinted that he plans to fire Director Cheatle, who is ultimately responsible for protecting the president and former presidents who still have Secret Service protection.
