WASHINGTON — In a city obsessed with the trappings of power, they are the ultimate status symbol: the wire-wearing, black S.U.V.-driving protective crews that come with high-level government service.
So when it came to light last week that the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had ordered the United States Marshals Service to extend a full protective detail to Betsy DeVos, the education secretary, for as much as $1 million a month, many people began to wonder about the protective pecking order in the Trump era.
The answer, given the nature of the job, is difficult to know. Security forces are loath to discuss much about who they protect or what it costs, for fear, they say, of compromising their mission.
When members of Congress practice in the early mornings in an Alexandria, Va., public park for their Congressional Baseball Game, plainclothes United States Capitol Police are sitting there in a black S.U.V.
This information SHOULD NOT be readily available.
I wish someone would finally take on these papers and put some folks in prison.
I suspect requests for personal security are skyrocketing.
So of course the scum of the NY Times acts immediately to expose and make more vulnerable the security details, providing a helpful guidebook to future assassins.
Absolutely just a matter of time until FBI, CIA, and even Capitol Police are the political assassins. Dittos for swamp dwellers like McMaster and Mattis. None of them should be trusted.
WTF are you talking about?
You are nuts. There is not one single scrap of evidence that is likely.
The NYT is disgusting trash. The entire media are worse then the rottenest hanging judge in the old west as they print a lie about Trump and then convict him. These clowns are scum.
The article was written in April. How coincidental is it that the guy left his home roughly at the same time?
