The Secret Service - fit for purpose?

Since no one gets fired for incompetence in the Harris administration (including her), there would be no reason to not fess up. Therefore, since they are hiding something, they are covering for whoever made the decisions to deliberately endanger Trump.
 
I reckon the investigation of the bridge in Baltimore will finally conclude it was not the fault of anyone involved. There will certainly not be any fault attributed to any US employee.

They will target the contractor who built the bridge, probably.

The really interesting part for the Trump shooting is that the "civil service blame game" isn't really going to affect anyone who had "boots on the ground" at the event, even though they were the ones who screwed up. I watched U.S. Navy contracting for 28 1/2 years. Contractors don't get long-term contracts most of the time. They get a contract that names 1 year plus OPTIONS for up to four more years. When someone "ticks off" the government, they notify the company that their next one-year option will be denied and the contract will get a re-compete. So the company president, vice president, and a couple of other officers are out of a job (until they get another contract). But the employees who probably were the REAL screw-ups don't normally get named in the "we don't like you" list. So the contract awardee now has a contract but probably no employees and the outgoing contract holder has employees but no contract to support paying them. SO... behind the scenes, the inbound contractor gets a list of current employees of the outbound contractor. Those people get offer letters from the inbound company. This usually happens a few days before the contract actually terminates. You walk out of the office Friday afternoon as an employee of XYZ corp. You walk in Monday morning as an employee of ABC corp. Oh, sure, there is some annoying paperwork involving security clearances and 401(k) plans and medical insurance, but within a week that is usually complete.

Therefore, if we assume a similar paradigm for the Secret Service as the Navy used for ITS contractors, nobody who was on the ground at the time of the incident will see any difference other than the name signing their paychecks this week. Of course we don't know if they use the same paradigm because, after all, they ARE the SECRET Service.
 
News now is that these agents assigned to Trump's detail were essentially rent-a-cops who watched a video to see how it was done.
 
She just gives pointless answers like, "We are still investigating"
I don't know much about this situation, but I have this observation: If an institution is conducting an investigation, it seems to me it would be a dereliction of duty if the head of that institution was to go on record citing conclusions in advance of the release of the investigation's findings.
 
For a rent-a-president, seems appropriate. He just watched videos to see how it was done.
A mindless shot. Nobody has experience being a President except for the second term. At least Trump hasn't been on the government dole all his life. He has actually run businesses and met payroll and managed huge projects. You can't say that about Kamala. There really isn't anything positive you can say about Kamala. Ask yourself why she can't speak in public. Then ask yourself how she could possibly hold her own in any negotiation with someone who knows his stuff. Unless she's reading from a teleprompter, all that comes out of her mouth is some word salad. It's like the bingo game we play at meetings. You have a card with a bunch of boxes with "meeting words" in them and you check them off as someone says them. First one to fill a row wins.
 
A mindless shot perhaps, but clearly worthy of a detailed rebuttal, to you.
 
And my post #24 was considerably more important, but you chose the mindless one to respond to.

I didn't disagree with your point in #24. Her answer was bulls*** but it was the technically correct response. They only leak information when it is detrimental to Trump, never when it would hurt themselves. The FBI is corrupt from top to bottom and Trump will fire everyone he can fire and transfer everyone else to Nome.

I think it depends on the organization and what details are being released. In police investigations, they sometimes will drop a little bit of information and sometimes not. I guess they have their reasons depending on the details
 
When a law enforcement agency drops hints in an attempt to get a suspect to act, that is one thing. When a law enforcement agency leaks facts to damage the opposition party, they have devolved to banana republic status and are total scumbags. When Trump is elected, they will get what they deserve. Nome is too good for them. Yemen is better. Maybe Gaza.

Ahh, the revenge motive, one of the hallmarks of great leadership.
How is it revenge if they committed a crime and will be duly punished for it? When we don't punish crime, we simply encourage more of it and to keep future "former Presidents" from being harassed after leaving office, it is imperative to make examples of the people perpetrating these crimes against citizen Trump. When Trump took office in 2016, he offered peace to the Democrats. They refused. OK, what goes around comes around. After the election, the DOJ needs to prosecute the Biden Crime Family for selling out this country for 50+ years. They also need to prosecute Harris for hiding the mental capacity of Biden from the American public to keep her from ever holding public office again. The house should start impeachment of Harris now rather than waiting until January.
 
The humourless orange man is a convicted felon.
Technically he is not but keep that thought if it makes you happy. The cases are falling around you. Also, I don't generally wish ill on others but I'm going to make an exception here. I hope that you are someday put through the same hell of persecutions that Trump has faced because when you firmly believe that it is OK to weaponize the federal government against a political opponent, you really need to have the wrath of the corrupt government turned full force on yourself. Your opinions are so anti-American they are beyond belief.

Pat for President!

Well, I do not return your ill will in kind. I have tremendous and ongoing respect for your knowledge, the freedom with which you share it, and the enormous contribution you have made to this place over the course of many years.
To me, politics, and our opinions in that arena, comprise only one very small facet of ourselves, and so I remain respectful of those with whom I may have political disagreements, even though I may ridicule their opinions and/or choice of candidates.
Anyway, with respect, I hope you have a very pleasant remainder of your day.

Yes you do. Shall I remind you what you said to me? I know for sure if I had said it, I would be banned. But obviously you can get away with it.
Col
What I said to you in PRIVATE does not even compare to what you perpetually accuse me of in PUBLIC - WHICH YOU ARE DOING YET AGAIN!!!! so stop whining and stop attacking me. You have been warned by others to stop harassing me. I will not be the one to ban you but when you persist in harassing other members, you violate the terms of your membership. Bullying is simply not allowed and you don't seem to be able to understand the difference between differences of opinions and bullying people. I suggest that you let this go and bully someone else if you think you can get away with it.
