If there is one thing that the DHS under Dem leadership has achieved, it has been thoroughly disturbing several individuals with how weaponized its agencies have become.
Indeed, the Secret Service is one such agency, and it has proven to be woefully inept at protecting the people who taxpayers pay to protect.
Such as President-elect Donald Trump, for instance, though the DHS does not appear particularly keen on protecting that one.
On the contrary, their actions have totally endangered him, though to degree to which the danger has been deliberate remains unknown.
Regardless, it’s a real problem.
Which is why the Task Force has to continue investigating the incident at Trump’s “Winter White House” accordingly.
“The Secret Service is continuing to conduct its mission assurance review of the assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida, the contents of which have not been shared with the task force,” the Task Force noted.
So, in other words, the Secret Service is stonewalling the Task Force. Shocking!
And the Secret Service isn’t the only agency to do so.
“The Task Force notes that as of the date of publication of this report, [the Department of Homeland Security], [U.S. Secret Service], FBI, and [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] have not produced any documents responsive to the Task Force’s requests regarding the preparation for, events of, and response to the second assassination attempt that occurred on September 15,” the Task Force continued.
Indeed, the bipartisan committee has been attempting to piece together what in the world happened with Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old from Hawaii who bizarrely traveled all the way to Mar-a-Lago in an apparent effort to get Trump.
And he may have been advised well, considering that the outer perimeter of the golf course, where he was located, is considered “a favorable position for potential snipers.”
Which is precisely why members of the Task Force are advocating for a divorce within the DHS, specifically by removing Secret Service from underneath the DHS wing.
“The current structure potentially weakens USSS, a small but critically important agency, in advocating for its budget and other priorities inside a much larger entity,” the Task Force noted.
Has it ever. It’s even weaker with its DEI obsession, which sidelines showing competence in favor of checking boxes.
“A fresh look at whether USSS might benefit from the status of an independent agency, with more freedom to make budget requests and advocate for itself, would be a healthy discussion for former USSS leaders to have with Congress,” the Task Force added.
Absolutely. And perhaps such discussions may begin promptly in 2025, once Trump is back in control.
