Where were the dogs when "the fence jumper" got into the White House [View all]

The White House has some of the best trained guard dogs in the world and yet
nobody released them when the conditions called for exactly that kind of response.
Why?

Washington Post 9/21

"A trained attack dog — the Secret Service’s fail-safe measure for stopping intruders
when officers cannot — was not released in this case. The reasons are under investigation."

And who put out this bald faced lie?

"Within seconds, the man who his public defender said served three tours in Iraq — and relatives
said served as a sniper — got to the front double doors of the North Portico, turned the brass knob
and stepped inside the vestibule. There he was grabbed and subdued by an officer standing post
inside the door. He had a folding knife with a 2 1 / 2-inch serrated blade."
