Biden Doesn't Trust His Secret Service Detail

[RandySF]

“President Joe Biden was so disturbed by the Secret Service’s handling of text messages sought by the House January 6 select committee that he stopped speaking candidly in the presence of special agents assigned to his protection detail, a new book on the Biden White House has revealed,” the Independent reports.

“In The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House, author Chris Whipple writes that Mr Biden’s discomfort with the post-Trump era agency began early on in his presidency, when it became clear that “some of” the agents charged with protecting him from assassination were strong supporters of the man he defeated in the 2020 election, former president Donald Trump.”

Also interesting: Biden’s relationship with his security further strained after an agent claimed that the president’s dog had bitten him — an allegation that Biden doesn’t quite believe.

1. Entirely deservedly so.

Trust is earned and lost. If they are butthurt, they should look in the mirror. If they don't care, that's a whole different problem for different parties.

[peppertree]

31. And as you know, JFK had the same problem...

Clinton too, to a lesser degree.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Neither do I nor his dog, Major.

The good boy bit the SS when they got into his personal area which was not where they were supposed to be. Biden knows this.

11. Always trust the dog.

Always. They know who can be trusted and what needs to be done to protect their people.

[hamsterjill]

20. Absolutely!!!!

But many here were quick to condemn the dog.

Dogs ALWAYS know!

[Botany]

25. "Always trust the dog"

Yup my now late big English black lab, was aggressive towards people twice in his life and
both times it was the right thing to do. My son was 13 or 14 and walking the lab and a
creepy guy came up to talk to my son and the dog was having none of it. Dog, "That's my
boy and I will die right now protecting him."

I don't know if it is the scent "the bad person" produces or some kind of biochemical product
or just the vibe of that person but a dog knows.

When it turned out that some S.S. agents had wiped their phones clean after 1/6 and I
found out that Joe's dog had gone after some S.S. agents I started to put 2 and 2 together.

[WinstonSmith4740]

26. Totally agree!

I've wondered if "bad intent" can be sensed somehow by a dog, and I think they can. I've had a similar experience as you...a kind of creepy person suddenly deciding to leave when a friend's big old German Shepherd entered the room. The dog was all happy when he came into the room, and his demeanor immediately changed when he saw this guy. Went on point, hair came up on his hackles, and he turned and faced that dude with that gutteral growl they have. Dude couldn't get out of there fast enough.

[Botany]

28. Dogs are the best people

Joe and Jill are more than safe in this picture

[Wounded Bear]

3. Can't say as I blame him...

they made my "do not trust" list when they didn't put a cap in trump.

[DoBotherMe]

27. You should delete this

Not everyone on this board is trustworthy. You may be reported to the feds.

[Bluethroughu]

4. The dog might have bit him...because he sensed danger.

[Cha]

5. Still? Haven't they done anything

about changing of the SS Guard?!

There should be bite marks if true.

I read it was on the 2nd Floor and no SS should ever be up there.

[Rebl2]

32. If true

that agent was bitten should have to prove it. If on 2nd floor where they weren’t supposed to be, that agent should have been fired and the second floor should have been swept for listening devices.

[Cha]

35. Yes, Yes, YEs!

[Sneederbunk]

6. SCOTUS, FBI, IRS, SS

Name your corrupt institution.

[DENVERPOPS]

7. It would serve the Republicans well

to have covert, implanted, Trumphumpers as members of the Secret Service Detail that guards the president and his family.....

I would want them screened like no one else ever before.........and by people I knew I could trust.......

[spooky3]

12. I'm not sure that IRS is systemically corrupted. It was clear

that Trump put tools in top positions and they made corrupt decisions. Congress also underfunded IRS for a long time.

[uponit7771]

22. +1, Corrupt for republicans

[erronis]

37. But it also serves the (r)epuglicons, the (r)ussians, the anti-democracy to cast aspersions

on government agencies.

Anything to weaken the institutions that allow democracy to survive.

Putin, FedSoc, Thiel, Murdoch, Mercer, Koch, etc., etc.

[myohmy2]

8. very wise...

"...he stopped speaking candidly in the presence of special agents..."

"...agents charged with protecting him from assassination were strong supporters of the man he defeated..."

...and along with the defeated man is the 'Big Lie'...

...it would make me nervous...

[SergeStorms]

9. Trump corrupts everything...

he comes into contact with. He's a mafia Don wanting everything his way, and he'll do anything to corrupt everyone around him so they're part of it.

He's a toxic piece of criminal shit, from the soles of his feet to the top of that ridiculous shit piled on his head. Human scum, personified.

[Lemon Lyman]

13. Yup

I just don't understand how almost everybody falls in line - throws away their dignity for him. I know the people who go to his rallies would do anything for him (while he wouldn't cross the street to spit on them). But so many professionals want to line up behind him? WTF? Someone like that would make me want to do be on the opposite side, regardless of what their political stripes were.

[NullTuples]

42. Until he starts losing. Then watch them flee like rats on a sinking ship...

[Wanderlust988]

14. Biden should seek out men and women of color to be close to him on the detail

They are less likely to be Trumpers. It's just the facts.

[uponit7771]

23. RIGHT !?!?

[Polybius]

24. I know 3 African Americans in law enforcement

All are Republicans.

[Better Days Ahoy]

15. Seems that Major can smell "jerk" from 100 feet

Replace the SS agent, not the dog.
Keep dog-testing till they're all weeded out.

[msfiddlestix]

16. I think we knew this in the beginning, I'm almost certain changes were made. but am I mistaken?

please indicate if this is an old story, no longer relevant, just a noteworthy historical event no longer a concern.

Or indicate no changes have been made,or the degree, if any changes have been made.

tyia.

[electric_blue68]

17. That's what I thought, too

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. I love the "official" White House pet twitter feed

Link to tweet

[NullTuples]

43. I don't get it. As head of the Executive, can't he hand pick his SS staff ?

If not, how did Trump conveniently end up surrounded by so many loyalist agents?

[BComplex]

19. Biden needs to turn Kamala loose on cleaning out the secret service. She was the Atty. Gen.

in California, and she knows how to find out where the bodies are buried. I would trust Kamala Harris to clean house in the Secret Service, CIA and FBI.

Now someone needs to clean house in the military, and the first step in that direction would be to ban Fux Nooz from playing on military bases or on United States property.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Too dangerous for her to investigate the people tasked with her security.

The investigator should be someone not involved with the SS in any way.

Still dangerous, I don't trust the SS.

And every crime they commit is always covered up.

[hamsterjill]

21. Have these SS agents been bought off?

To be strong supporters of Trump, there’s got to be an incentive. Rational people don’t perpetuate lies without having an incentive.

[hamsterjill]

33. Love what you did there!!!!

Smooth move!!!

[NullTuples]

47. Law enforcement is like a swamp full of conservative extremists, no buying off needed.

[keithbvadu2]

36. Pence had some doubts about the SS.

[erronis]

38. Like he wouldn't trust them with his life.

[Traildogbob]

40. Top of the list

For Jordon et al to investigate. After they get to the bottom of the FBI criminals.

[Codifer]

41. I seem to recall

that some SS agents smashed their car into a guard shack when returning drunk from what ever dumbfuckery they were into. They were trusted with guarding President Obama.

Other agents with the same responsibility (guarding President Obama) were involved in some sort of set to in a brothel somewhere in South America (I believe I recall... but brain is old so who knows).

Clean out the shitheads in the SS.... and, yes, I do believe that Kamala could do that.

It will be SO DAMNED IMPORTANT when the fascist assholes realize that if they could get gym jordan in as Speaker of The House.... he would be just two murders away from the Presidency. No sense of history or honor would stop them.

[markodochartaigh]

44. There was also the bizarre case earlier this year

in which Secret Service agents received goods and services from two men pretending to be federal agents.

[Squaredeal]

45. Biden is President. He should replace his security with people who he can trust.

[Lucky Luciano]

46. The Praetorian Guard often assassinated the imperators of Rome too.
