Secret Service denies involvement in Hunter Biden gun fiasco — despite FBI doc claiming otherwise
NY Post ^ | 5/21/24 | Victor Nava, Josh Christenson

The Secret Service doubled down Tuesday, once again denying that agents attempted to retrieve paperwork from the gun store where Hunter Biden infamously purchased a Colt Cobra revolver that his sister-in-law-turned-lover later tossed in a garbage bin.

The agency’s latest denial, however, comes after federal court filings on Monday showed that the FBI interviewed the owner of the StarQuest Shooter gun store in Wilmington, Del., who said that both Delaware State Police and Secret Service agents visited his business the day after the .38-caliber revolver went missing.

“There is no change in our statement,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the US Secret Service, told The Post when asked about the recent filing made by special counsel David Weiss.

Guglielmi was referring to the agency’s 2021 denial, in which the Secret Service claimed its records show agents had “no involvement” in the incident.

“We were aware of the claims made at that time but could not find any information to independently corroborate them,” Guglielmi said of StarQuest Shooter owner Ron Palimere’s allegations to the FBI.

“At that time, the Biden family were not protectees of the Secret Service,” he added.

Palimere was interviewed by the FBI last week and told federal agents that he ventured into his gun store the evening of Oct. 12, 2018, when his employees recognized Biden “as a celebrity-type customer.”

Recognizing that his father, Joe Biden, was not a “gun supporter,” Palimere indicated that he wanted to get “the sale completed and get [Hunter] Biden out of the store” quickly, over fears that having Hunter Biden seen in his establishment would be bad for business.

Who are you going to believe, the Secret Service, or your lyin' eyes? Either way with the SS and the Gestapo FBI going after each other, pass the popcorn.

The best part is that we know that the SS will eventually admit to doing it. Lying to us is their default posture.

WHY doesn’t Congress pull all funding for FBI this week? They’ve been aware of the corruption for years but have ignored it. After this week’s release of details surrounding the Mar-A-Lago raid, clearly an attempt to assassinate PDJT and harm others if necessary, Congress absolutely cannot let this go on.

They can’t make arrests, but have other power to hurt them bigly.

At the time the Secret Service claimed “its records show” agents had “no involvement” in Hunter’s
falsifying the app for a gun buy, “the Biden family were not protectees of the Secret Service.”


So this was just another instance of Joe Biden co-opting the US govt, ordering
the tax-paid S/S to do his bidding, to save the tokus of his good-for-nothing son.

The S/S dumbed down its denials, saying “there is no change in our statement,”........referring to the agency’s 2021 denial, in which the S/S claimed “its records show” agents had “no involvement” in the Hunter Biden incident.

“We could not find any information” to independently corroborate them gun shop owner Ron Palimere’s allegations to the FBI.


Check the Biden WH........they know plenty about this.

Maybe, just maybe the Secret Service is correct. Did anybody think the FBI impersonated the Secret Service to go talk to the gun store owner? At this time is there anything outside the scope of impossibility that may of happen?

Or maybe it was a loyal to Biden, Secret Service agent that went off the ranch for the visit, thus no record of visit. You know Joe, he doesn’t mind getting anybody to do anything.

A Colt Cobra? And it belonged to Hunter Biden? I’d like to have that. Hunter could make some serious dough auctioning that off.

Hunter’s own text messages show that the Secret Service was involved despite no one being a protectee. The SS is saying they don’t have any paperwork to show that they were involved but there are two contemporaneous sets of text messages, one from the gun shop owner (to an ATF agent) and also Hunter’s text messages from his laptop store. ”She stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic]. Then told me it was my problem to deal with,” Hunter wrote, referring to a high-end grocery store in Wilmington. “Then when the police the FBI the secret service came on the scene she said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for the kids,” he added. A couple of options: 1. Secret Service is plain out lying 2. Secret Service agent was going off book to try to protect Hunter’s butt

Why would the SS keep records of trying to do an illegal thing?
