Well, the director resigned.

Who else do you think needs to be fired?

duh. if they openly admit there is a mole within the Secret Service (which appears blatantly obvious now) then it would create utter chaos amongst the agency and our nation.

They'll just hide the shell under a different cup until Congress runs out of energy trying to chase this thing down.

Every single agent working the Butler event. That's a start. And keep investigating and putting the case together that this was allowed to happen, and then charge the agents involved as high as that goes in the organization.

I mean, those shots at Trump were allowed to happen. Easy to see. No group of professional SS agents can be that fricking incompetent. Have you seen all the information and video?? Yeah, they let it happen.

hate to answer a question with a question, but
"Who decided to put no one on that roof?"
Who was looking at that roof and somehow missed a moronic kid running from one end to the other with a rifle?"

Let's start there

I see he's still blaming it on the locals. Gonna be hard for local LE agency's to cooperate with the SS when in the end the blame is placed on the locals.

anyone and everyone who either through intent or negligence played a role of any size in allowing the former president and leading presidential candidate to be shot in the ear and nearly assassinated.

My big take is how few news agencies are present. MSM not wanting to cover what is a rare if not first time the SS has ever done a public news briefing.

Not surprisingly, the hooting baboons here immediately interpreted a simple question as a statement that no one else needs to be fired.

I would say the female agent who couldn't figure out how to holster her weapon needs to be fired. Overdue, actually.

Anybody who dropped to the ground when the shooting started needs to be fired. Also overdue.

Anybody who was supposed to be on the roof in question but decided to not go up there "because it was hot" needs to be fired.

Beyond that, what I would like to know is how much of what happened is due to policy (that obviously needs to be changed) and how much of it was going against policy.

I haven't lived in the hearings like some people have, but they seem to have a hard time getting answers to those questions. Was policy ignored, or has policy become ridiculous?

Per the latest whistle blower, the newly appointed Director is just as bad as the old one. He supposedly directly reduced the staffing at the rally & has threatened to retaliate against any whistle blowers. So he's a start. And the whistleblower has said that the top 5, including the just retired Director, are all incompetent & are out to cover their asses.

I answered your question with nothing aimed at you, and you call me a hooting baboon?

Your question was:
