The thief who swiped a Secret Service agent’s laptop targeted the agent in question and knew exactly what he was after ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say the thief -- whom they say is a man -- was caught on surveillance video pulling up to the agent's driveway in an Uber at around 3 AM Thursday. The video shows the man make a beeline for the agent's car, removing a backpack with the computer inside and then walking off. As we reported, the hard drive contained Trump Tower floor plans and evacuation protocols, but the agency insists there was no classified info inside.
The thief also made off with a passport and several Secret Service lapel pins. It's unclear what the thief was looking for if all the content was non-sensitive. We're told the video is grainy so it's hard to make out the thief's features, but it's definitely a lead.
It was my understanding that it was a motorcycle.??
I read the agent was a woman..?
The picture is grainy, but the man looks desperate. Zooming in closer he looks a lot like.... Rachel Maddow.
Kidding aside, and I really shouldn’t have - finding out who this is and who he works for needs all hands on deck.
Then let's see who is in her personal circle.
I'd nail her to the wall. She belongs in prison.
That so-called ‘agent’ should have already been summarily fired. These people claim they are the ‘best of the best’ yet they’ve been showing up as the ‘worst of the worst’ when it comes to performance.
In any case, if Trump can’t get this ‘agent’ fired, he should at least DEMAND this agent NEVER comes anywhere near him again.
I bet he was CIA, myself.
Was the car locked at least?
And the purpose is?
8 years of 0bama.
it needs to be gutted and restructed (along with many other institutions)
if this happened march 16, it can’t possibly be related to hacking/tapping that occurred in late 2016.
jus’ sayin’
It was no robbery - it was a scheduled pick up.
Someone on the inside provided those materials.
That’s a spy, not a thief.
Notice the fact that it contained info on the witches criminal investigation has disappeared from the story? It was a handoff of that info.
How did the guy even know the backpack/laptop was in the car?
This was a drop, set up to look like a theft.
Further, if there are no back-ups of the files contained on the laptop, the SS has a lot of ‘splaining to do.
[Will the lapel pins and ID allow security clearance?]
First order of business is to design and issue new lapel pins STAT!
If it’s a guy getting out of what appears to be a cab, police can ask cab companies (including Uber) for info matching surveillance video. Uber (if not all cabbies) undoubtedly GPS-tracks all rider information.
If it looks like a handoff, then CC etc info about passenger is probably faked/stolen.
Something is very wrong with this story. Why would they release what was on the computer....and in fact, why would they even say there was a computer stolen??
BINGO
Knew what he was after...
Duh.
Question is how did the perp know it.
this.
He’s probably been promoted.
