The White House fence jumper who lingered on the ground unnoticed for 17 minutes was literally just hanging out in plain view with alarms blaring, and the Secret Service had no clue.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz tells TMZ he met with the Director of Homeland Security and the Acting Director of the Secret Service for an hour and a half Tuesday, and his conclusion ... "It was even worse than I thought." Chaffetz says the surveillance video is shocking ... the intruder was not darting around. Rather, he was "lingering," "hanging out" on the grounds. At one point he took the time to bend down and tie his shoes.
The intruder at times peered through windows of the building, where Trump was inside. As we previously reported, he also jiggled a doorknob. Chaffetz says some of the alarms failed but some went off, yet the intruder was not detected. Secret Service agents did check the grounds, but not with any urgency. Alarms frequently go off for various reasons, and this time it was met with an inadequate response. And Chaffetz says the video shows agents were simply "lackadaisical." As he put it, "Everything went wrong." The congressman says he was promised there would be "big changes," adding, "There better be."
Yup. It's a shame the place doesn't offer comfortable outdoor guest seating, or maybe a nice hammock to relax in...
Their supervisors should also be held accountable. This criminal negligence was not just a one time coincidence.
Somebody on another thread said “replace them all with armed US Marines”. It’s the only way to be sure!
With orders to ‘shoot to kill’ anyone who goes over the fence
Sure seems that way.
Scary. We’re visiting this summer.
A competent North Vietnamese sapper could have blown the place sky high. So could an ISIS one. What in h*ll is wrong with that security, anyhow? Can't they fire anybody!??
Lamecherry claims it was intentional to get some SS fired due to internal politics
I know a fairly recently retired SEAL O-6 I’d hire in a heartbeat to stand up a proper security force.
That retired secret service guy was right when he said that Trump isn’t safe in the white house.
Ben Lurken!!
The Obamas had a swing set put in for Malaria and Sharia. Too bad they donated it to a local DC charity. The jumper could have entertained himself there while waiting for his pizza to be delivered.
Who is guarding the hen house?
Jamie Gorelick.
Did Trump retain his own private security as well as the Secret Service?
Anybody hired by Obama appointees at all agencies, especially critical ones like SS, should be looked at VERY carefully.
Heads had better start rolling FAST.
Trump is in 8 weeks already.
The marxist domestic enemy has no fear of Trump.
That’s a REAL problem, and is on him.
If the communists know he won’t walk the walk, they will not stop until he is destroyed.
The longer this open agitation for his assassination and/or removal from office via impeachment goes UNPUNISHED, the more brazen they will get.
This is life and death and the situation calls for ruthless action against the groups working to steal our money, guns, religion, dignity, and lives.
Trump had better step up.
NO MERCY.
At some point SOON he will need to put the hurt on the domestic enemies, they will utterly destroy him if he doesn’t.
I’m thinking a special division of DHS under General Kelly, special agents tasked with pissing in the cornflakes of traitors and agent provocateurs nationwide, inside the government and out.
Round up scumbags like Lois Lerner and Jeff Zucker, Koskinen and Brennan and Comey, State of Emergency time baby, all bets off, mo mercy for enemies of the American people.
America First!!!
Or if you really want to get extremely serious, replace them with 2PPCLI. Tips of the spears since 1914.
It is not possible that anyone who was trying could be this incompetent.
He should get some special operators in there until he can abolish and replace the Secret Service.
The secret service is a bunch of lazy fat ass losers. If I were Trump , I would move in 50 air borne rangers to kill the bastard that moves in the perimeter without permission with a 50 calo,!!and I would tell the world. What the hell is going on?? There is ABSOLUTELY NO excuse for that crap. Get those fat ass losers out of there NOW!! And get some MEN in there that can KILL!!
