The bombshell is the Secret Service knew

[Aviation Pro]

And did nothing, NOTHING, about it.

[woodsprite]

1. Sounds like Pence was right not to trust his Secret Service detail. nt

[Samrob]

56. Remember, Trump had and still has a cadre of SS agents who idolize him. Housecleaning needed. nt

[maryellen99]

2. I'm worried for Biden's safety

I bet the secret service is full of MAGAts

[FarPoint]

7. If I recall,,,,

Biden got his former SS detail back immediately and discarded what was assigned....

[SKKY]

8. I seem to recall something to that effect as well...

...I remember thinking it was odd, but after hearing today's testimony, perhaps prescient.

[FarPoint]

10. Biden has been under so much stress

due to this traitor 45. .....OMG!

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Phew.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. More of a worry

is the concentration of members of the Military who are Trumphumpers, as well as National Guard, Reserves, and through out police dept's across the nation............

[Totally Tunsie]

45. ...with Gen. Flynn leading the charge...he, who had

to plead the Fifth when asked by Liz Cheney if he believed in the peaceful transition of power.

That is the cornerstone of political belief, and if Flynn couldn't agree to that primary tenet, he is a traitor.


Edited to correct Flynn's name.

[inthewind21]

49. Gen. Flynn

is the one who plead the 5th. Gen Kelly was Trumps 2nd scumbag Chief of Staff, Meadows was COS #4.

[Totally Tunsie]

51. OOPS!!! I stand corrected!

Don't know why, but I always mix up the names Flynn and Kelly, even when referring to personal friends with those names. It's a quirk I can't seem to overcome.

Thanks!
(I'll go back to correct,)

[rurallib]

44. Remember that someone shot into the White House while Obama was president

[LenaBaby61]

3. They were probably NOT supposed to do anything about it.

IS the way I'm reading this. Biden got rid of I think all of those secret service agents that were there with tRump before he became president.

The filth, treason and stench still runs deep within our intelligence agencies and within the higher levels of intelligence that fatso put in there purposely to keep things destabilized, probably because putin probably TOLD tRump to do that.

[RockRaven]

4. USSS is deeply rotten and has been for a long ass time.

TFG appointed one of his SS detail guys to a political job in the WH. Later, that guy returned to the SS, and was given a job training other agents. That's fucking corrupt.

[jaxexpat]

9. I remember them piling non-security testimony at Starr's feet during Clinton's persecution.

I thought then that I didn't know how comfortable I'd feel if I had to trust my life to the sentiment for duty shown by such blabbermouths. I felt like they'd betrayed their duty because of their political beliefs.

[erronis]

33. Well, I knew a friend who had "relations" with several SS agents. They weren't the creme.

Power goes to the heads of these mainly young men.

Gotta look good and impressive. Lots of fine training. But apparently not screened for stuff like morals or ethics.

[OMGWTF]

38. Like a lot of police departments.

[bottomofthehill]

47. They no longer care about the safety of the Agents.

Covid showed the Service for what it was. The Service leadership let the political structure put their agents in danger and did nothing about it. nothing.

[FarPoint]

5. I just have to pick up my jaw from the floor...

The Grand Knights have fallen.

[LizBeth]

6. I knew they did. When Trump got covid and saw the way they were with him

and something else too, can't remember, so much to remember, I knew he had the secret service.

[dalton99a]

11. Yep. They saw everything every day

[Jirel]

12. They did do something.

They refused him. It’s not what they should have done, but it may have been enough.

The question is what was reported through the Secret Service to Pence.

[Lulu KC]

24. And didn't they refuse to remove the metal detectors?

It was a lot to digest, as Judy Woodruff just said.

[awesomerwb1]

13. They were MAGAts perhaps?

[Loge23]

15. No surprise there

I think most of us suspect - and fear - that the federal law enforcement agencies are as infiltrated with anti-democratic scum as your local police department.

[2naSalit]

29. +1

[llmart]

35. +1000

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

59. No question.

Think of all the times in history crooked cops have helped criminals do their crimes.

[bringthePaine]

16. past time to clean house, but not too late to fire & prosecute fully

[bottomofthehill]

46. Secret Service is part of Homeland now.

[dlk]

54. Yes, exactly

There have been so many disturbing events recently…

[Hekate]

18. Well, the SS did prevent TFG from entering the Capitol at the head of his armed mob

[wcollar]

25. Nope, Trump would have lead from the rear!

From "The Duke of Plaza Toro"

In enterprise of martial kind,
When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind
(He found it less exciting).
But when away his regiment ran,
His place was at the fore, O-
That celebrated,
Cultivated,
Underrated
Noble man,
The Duke of Plaza-Toro!

[ancianita]

36. Yes. Because Meadows and Cipollone told them they couldn't enact the OTR safely.

So Trump tried to fight them in The Beast to make them know he was still the boss. Against his will they still got him back to the White House.

[DENVERPOPS]

52. My thinking is

that they wanted him to get away to the White House, so he wouldn't be DIRECTLY connected to this shit storm HE CREATED.....

At that point in time, they were all behind trying to cover his ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ancianita]

53. Probably that, too.

The other reality is that SS knew of all the weapons, and, charged by their jobs not to drive the prez into a weaponized situation, HAD to turn him around against his will and get him to the White House. He himself wanted to lead that coup, but too many around him couldn't go that far, even as they aided and abetted him up to that point.

Thanks for your thoughts.

[Hortensis]

55. Yes, they did. A VERY significant event, but no doubt defendable procedure.

Nevertheless, tRump clearly felt it was critical he be there to provide leadership to a failing effort and this also failed -- he "got into the car."

[jalan48]

19. Taking orders from the Commander in Chief may be how they saw it.

[Captain Zero]

20. No. WITNESS TAMPERING is the bombshell !!

ByTRUMP and others in Trump World.

[gab13by13]

23. I agree it is huge,

and the select committee knows who they are, they have the texts.

[Lulu KC]

26. Yes--THE MOB n/t

[GoodRaisin]

48. There is so much on this giving tree. nt

[Emile]

21. FOX is reporting this testimony will change peoples mind.

[Lulu KC]

22. I thought they did try to do something

and that's why DT assaulted Bobby Engle, head of detail.

[Bucky]

43. They did their only job: protect the president's life

it sucks, but in the long run you want a Secret Service that sticks to its mandate. They're not normal LEOs.

[getagrip_already]

27. There was another bombshell at the very end...

Textbook descriptions of witness tampering mob style.

He reads the transcripts (yeah, right), and he will know if you still loyal.

[Marthe48]

31. Traitor ruins reputations

have any of the threats escalated to dead bodies? However tenuous the link.

I've been wondering about why people are so scared of traitor and his henchmen.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. Mob style is right.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

58. The old Twitter hashtag #TrumpCrimeFamily was so right on.

Not sure how it works, but it's been long said that a RICO prosecution is in order for crooked 45.

[Marthe48]

28. Is Engel going to testify?

Or depose?

[NQAS]

30. Hmmm. . .

Did any Secret Service agents voluntarily provide information to their management or to the Committee on Trump's behavior?

If I were Biden, I would ask the Secret Service for a top-to-bottom assessment of the protective details of himself, the VP and any other executive branch protectees.

[erronis]

37. Maybe this hearing was a clarion call to others that know that the bell will toll - for them.

With enough growing circumstantial evidence, prosecutions can proceed even without voluntary cooperation.

I'm guessing this isn't aimed at the known crooks (Trump, Flynn, Giuliani, Bannon, etc.) but at those that might get swept up in their bosses trials.

Still amazes me that someone as obviously capable as Cassidy Hutchinson could still consider herself a repuglicon and want to see someone like trump be in power.

[OMGWTF]

39. IKR? I do like that she wore white which is the color of women's suffrage.

But she might have worn it because it's summer in DC.

[moondust]

40. What did they know and

when did they know it?

Did they contact Capitol Police/DoD/FBI/etc.?

[MarcA]

41. Secret Service has long been, maybe always, a politicized force.

And like most law enforcement they tend toward an authoritarian mindset.

[czarjak]

42. Blue-backing is hard enough.

[TigressDem]

57. They took him to the West Wing instead of to the front of the mob.

Their job is to protect pRes.

They also made it harder for him to incite violence.

[renate]

60. Because at least some of them were in on it?

During the BLM protests they whisked him to safety. (Or for an emergency bunker inspection, which is certainly part of the President’s usual duties and not weird at all.)

They weren’t at all worried about his safety during actual violence. Hmm.
