WHITE HOUSE FENCE JUMPER LINGERED, TIED SHOES, PEERED IN WINDOWS ... Unnoticed by Secret Service
tmz ^ | 3/21/17 | tmz

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."

Mr. Jumper might have been hired to test the security.

If I ruled the world the next fence jumper would be shot on sight (after those who were on duty are broomed and replaced); a clear message to those who want to try a similar stunt in the future.

"WHITE HOUSE FENCE JUMPER LINGERED, TIED SHOES, PEERED IN WINDOWS ... "

In all honesty, upon first reading this headline, I thought that it said that the white house fence jumper PEED in the windows.

>>Trump should hire the Mossad to come in and re-train the Secret Service.<<

My understanding is that the Mossad was cooperating with the Brits to surveil DJT.

Dobermanns are the best guard dogs for open areas.Always moving,covering a lot of ground.A Dobermann is fully capable of stopping a man cold.Three or four of them working together would have a party on an intruder.
