If this is what the Secret Service has become, it’s a wonder that something worse than Butler, Pa., hasn’t already happened. That event was terrible enough, with one rally-goer killed and Donald Trump coming within an inch of losing his life. If Trump hadn’t turned his head at the right moment, Butler would have become one of the most notorious locations in American history and we’d be living in a different world. At the time, the Secret Service’s failure seemed unfathomable and none of the revelations since — set out in a report by the Senate Homeland Security Committee — make it any better.

The USSS reflects its leadership, Do Expect Incompetence. No surprises here. Bongino has been on this excuse for a protective agency. IOWs, the USSS is a complete clusterfox. It's leadership are cockwombles.

Embassment is not quite the right word.

"The name of the DEI female Secret Service agent who was in charge of Security in Butler on July 13 is Meredith Banks"
"Meredith Bank chose non-secret service agents and selected those who never worked a rally before. She now has hired defense counsel."
There are more creatures to be named.

"More interestingly, NYT revealed the name of the Secret Service’s lead counter-sniper at the rally, John Marciniak; the agency’s lead advance agent, Meredith Bank; and two site agents, Myosoty Perez and Dana DuBrey—the latter two who have hired lawyers."

This is what happens when you give agency directorships out as rewards for political support.

Disgrace is more like it. The USSS used to be a top notch outfit when we interacted with them during my time as a cop.

I thought they were all at the LBGT conference at Disneyworld.

How far they have fallen. I worked with them a few times in the military and knew one personally for a while. Always great guys with behavior, both on and off duty, that was beyond reproach. If you didnt know they were agents, you'd have thought them ministers. You would have left your wife or daughter with them without reservation.
Now they are no better than the bottom feeders at the FBI an ATF.

Fire ‘em. Start with 80%, that would be a good start.

Just the USSS? Ever hear of an outfit called the FBI?

Remember when the Secret Service boys were caught on the job cavorting with hookers in Colombia? That was an early warning about the rot within.

democrats = DEI = it all turns brown. It is not just the Secret Service. Think about our armed forces, airline industry and other groups we depend on for safety and what the ultimate outcomes are. DIE

Just one of many government agencies with this sickness, I'm sure.

It's not just DEI to blame (and certainly not lack of funding) but the "leadership" of the agency. The previous director recommended for the position by Jill Biden as she worked on Jill's detail along with Dick Cheney's detail so you know she was soaked in the anti-Trump vitriol. The current acting director forbid his agency from wearing red ties - you know, Trump...blah blah blah. Incompetence is certainly a critical reason for all these "mishaps" but certain people in certain places in certain agencies want Trump killed.

I heard of someone who applied for the FBI about 25 years ago, and when being interviewed he lied about something. Whether it was deliberate or not, I do not know. Anyway, because they determined he did not tell the truth, he was not hired.
Imagine anyone being turned down for a government job because they told a lie! Not in today's culture - sadly.
In fact, in today's culture, he might be hired on-the-spot.

This is really rich - - coming from virulent NeverTrumper Lowry.
This little puke has totally opposed President Trump from Day One - - telling one fat lie after another about him.
Nuts to you, Lowry! Pffooey on you!

No one will ever convince me that Butler wasn't a set up by the obama White House...putting DEI hires to do the job of protecting President Trump...and eliminating most of his secret service personnel...and the radio communication slip up was meant to cause no communication between local police and the secret service leaders in washington....it's all starting to make sense....

Why did local snipers inside the building disappear to at the worst possible time? Windows open sniper guns left unattended...explain how this could possibly not be a setup

The disintegration of the SS began during the Obama era with prostitutes in South America. That was incredibly stupid.
