The Secret Service that we have repeatedly speculated was planning to take Pence and Pelosi out of the Capitol on January 6th and assassinate them?
The Secret Service that we have repeatedly criticized as being full of trump appointees?
The Secret Service that we feared for Biden's safety when he took office and were glad that it was a detail personally known to him?
The Secret Service that has been said here should be removed from the responsibility of Presidential security due to incompetence and questionable loyalty?

That is The Secret service that should decide who can run for president, correct?
