Secret Service corrupt! Good grief, Rachel Maddow demonstrates how the secret service has

[Augiedog]

willingly corrupted itself in the hiding of its cash paid to trump and his properties. They have falsified or improperly filed reports and will not provide accurate information until “after the 2020 elections”.

How long before they start wearing jack boots and deaths head emblems on those black leather great coats they must be fondly eyeing?

1. They already have the right initials...

[Desert grandma]

2. This is frightening.

Republican senators are complicit in creating this corrupt environment. History will judge them for the corrupt enablers they are. This year of 2020 will determine the future of our republic. I will do everything in my power to remove the Orange Maggot in the White House. I have my preferred nominee, but I will vote Blue NO MATTER WHO all the way down the ticket. We need to gain control of the Senate and the WH in order to restore our dignity in the world. Right now, we are an embarrassment because of this Buffoon.

[triron]

12. Good luck with that.

[Desert grandma]

34. I heard it here first on DU.

But you're right. It would make a great slogan.

[uponit7771]

36. +1, Hitler needed his own police and Trump has his ... another tick.

[GemDigger]

3. The Secret Service is the ONLY agency he has not slammed.

A payoff is probably why and that is a sad thought.

[alittlelark]

4. Your post made me physically nauseous.....

cuz it made me see another horrid connection

[GemDigger]

6. I had been thinking that for several weeks now and needed Rachel to

put her finger on it and that slapped me aside the head.

[2naSalit]

13. He wanted his own private security force when he

arrived and wanted us to pay for it. This has been quietly accomplished while 10,000 other horrors were happening.

[GemDigger]

16. Exactly like that!

Although some of his horrors we will find out about in a reasonable amount of time and then there will be others that they will hide for 50 years because they were so "deplorable".

[2naSalit]

18. Probably...nt

[LiberalFighter]

5. The crooks need to be cleaned out. AND punished.

[2naSalit]

19. +1

No looking forward without accountability to those who facilitated and created this mess. There is no forward until we slay this beast.

[triron]

7. And the unnamed administration official calling his dad and telling him 'this is like Germany in

1939'.

[cwydro]

8. That's scary.

As hell.

The implications...

[UniteFightBack]

9. It's a corrupt culture so this is not surprising. nt

[democratisphere]

10. drumpf has corrupted every segment of our government.

After drumpf is removed from office, investigations must be done to root out the corruption and reset all governmental departments, agencies and institutions. Nothing can be done until drumpf is gone.

Title of article:


Trump charging Secret Service $650 per room per night to protect him at his golf courses

[2naSalit]

14. Don't forget meals and golf cart fees.

Probably charges for time at the gym too. Security people work out.

[roamer65]

15. The Secret Service is under the Treasury dept. Munchkin is about as corrupt as they come.

[2naSalit]

20. +1

I'll be surprised if here's anything left when we get rid of these monsters.

[JHB]

27. Not since 2003 and the Patriot Act...

That moved it under Homeland Security.

There were several stories about the occasional intruders and similar security breaches during the Obama administration that traced a quality decline in the SecServ to that switch and its loss of status as the Treas. agency's high-profile showcase.

[roamer65]

35. My bad. So who investigates counterfeiting now?

[crickets]

17. I saw that report tonight and my jaw just dropped. nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. Before you paint the SS with a broad brush of corruption, remember...

The SS is under the Treasury dept., run by Mnuchin, same guy who broke the law by refusing to turn over Trump’s taxes to Congress. He is likely behind the failure to file biannual reports of expenditures at Trump properties, not career SS staff.

You’d hope there would be a whistleblower in the rank and file SS folks though...

[MerryBlooms]

23. SS protection details wouldn't have the information to blow a whistle,

but, seems to me, lower level accountants who turn in reports up the chain sure would know though, yes?

[Mopar151]

22. The federal org chart

Could stand a good mowing and weeding. Not to mention spraying for fiefdoms and DNA testing for redundacy.

[EleanorR]

24. republicans again demonstrate they Do Not Care about the government spending taxpayer's money

When republicans speak about needing to cut food stamps or medicare or social security please remember, their claimed concern about deficits or needing to reign in government spending is simply a lie.

[ck4829]

25. K&R

[bobGandolf]

26. How disappointing!

[FarPoint]

28. The Secret Service is under the Department of Treasury.

So.. whoever tRump has as Secretary of Treasury...there one may find the concealment orders????

[duforsure]

29. Exactly!!

Manuchkin his toady is head of the Treasury doing this , or anything else he can to protect trump with. Just like he has him hiding trumps taxes for him, manuchkin is getting something for doing this from trump, so again follow the money and it'll be uncovered.

[bottomofthehill]

30. The Secret Service falls under Homeland Security not Treasury

Although, there is an attempt ongoing to move them back to treasury, but they have fallen under Homeland since the creation of the department.

[triron]

33. Maybe not too long at all.

[uponit7771]

37. Where is the IG who oversee's the Secret Service? Seems like all the IGs are missing in action
