Secret Service expert on Nicolle Wallace show Friday...

Who else heard this guy?

I'm trying to find it...unsuccessful, so far.

He was, IIRC, a former Director?

He said he was skeptical of the recordings of freaked out Secret Service members, played at the 7/21 hearing.

...be saying that the J6 Committee is responsible for completely faked audio on those video excerpts. Is there any other explanation?

(No. I didn't see the segment.)

he seemed to go out of his way to cover for the corrupt SS agents. I struggled listening to him. I may have told him fuck you a couple of times.

I thought it was possibly a failure of imagination...

I.e., he seems to think SS agents are superhuman, would not be fearful under the circumstances.

He is an old school Secret Service guy. There was a time when the Service was the top tier in FEDERAL law Enforcement, since 9/11 it is full of want to be tough guys. He is thinking of the service in another time.

Nicolle was skeptical of him, in turn. You could see it in the face she made: “Wait. Whut?”

He said he has never known agents to do that, well he hasn't been there for a long time nor did they go through an insurrection. He has no idea what Trump did to the SS. Times have changed.
