The failure of the Secret Service to pre-empt the assassination attempt on former President Trump on July 13 has left me with only one conclusion - we should dissolve the Secret Service into it's two components.
If the attempted assassination was a Deep State conspiracy, by having Secret Service protection gradually stripped away so Mr. Crooks could have a clear shot, it will be practically impossible to find the fingerprints. So I want to concentrate on the structural things we can do something about.
First of all, the Secret Service has never been either adequately funded, and from that adequately staffed, to adequately perform its protection duties, at least to the levels that everyone expects of them. The F.B.I. has 10,000 agents. The Secret Service only has 2,000 agents. For its protection duties, the Secret Service has had to rely on auxiliary military people, like Army Intelligence, and the state, county, and local police forces to augment their protection tasks. If the Secret Service had 10,000 agents, they could provide protection for everyone, and its agents wouldn't have to work 12 hours shifts, and could work the normal three 8-hours shifts, and its agents could also then get adequate rest, sleep, food, days off, and vacations off.
Even with all the above, I think the Secret Service should be dissolved into two agencies, one devoted to federal official protection and one devoted to counterfeit currency fighting. These are two very diverse and separate duties that don't really go together very well. Lincoln originally created the Secret Service to fight counterfeiting, and the protection duties were just haphazardly given to them after President McKinley's death, with no serious thought.
I'm thinking the new counterfeit fighting agency can go back to the Treasury Department, while the new Protection Agency can stay in Homeland Security.
Uh huh. Try again. (Sigh.)

I disagree.
That’s how DHS was born. Supposedly the FBI and CIA didn’t like each other and therefore didn’t communicate properly. So this DHS was ostensibly created to coordinate communication and operations.
You know the rest of the story.
It would be a mistake to try that again.
Every government agency fails. So we disband them all?
The ONLY institution our Fathers thought necessary for a free state was the militia.
Maybe we press in on that, and how it would translate today.
At first I thought this whole fiasco was just total incompetence by the Secret Service. However, when the number two at the Secret Service willfully denies needed security that is an obvious need it becomes malice with fore thought. They did not plot this to happen but wanted it to happen. I think they wanted him dead. They also denied security to RFK until Trump was shot. RFK was taking votes from Biden. RFK’s father and uncle JFK were both assassinated. RFK was an obvious target for assassination.
We have a hell of a problem with the Secret Service.
.
So, agencies hide the identities of people in positions of Power, public servants?
Just like the Identity of the fake Ukraine whistleblower, both sides hid his Identity.
The power is in these agencies that do as they please. Everyone knows this ends up with an even bigger budget and more perks for the top echelon.
Where’s the downside? Where’s the accountability?
We are $36,000,000,000,000 in debt, better yet close down several other agencies for starters, begin with the DoED and get yourself 4,000+ employees and plenty of BILLIONS for the new SS.
The FIB needs to be on the downsize chopping block too.
Cutting a turd in two will only give you two turds.
And a nasty knife.
We have a hell of a problem with the Secret Service.

On a recent interview of Eric Prince by Shawn Ryan, Prince was asked about whether he had discussed the possibility of getting involved with a security protection task. He basically said he had been approached but he would not do so while in the government, suggesting he might be talked into a contract type arrangement like he had with the State Department while running Blackwater, However, his guys got beat up so bad by the Left mentality for being to heavy handed while protecting dignitaries in hell holes like Kabul, he is less than enthusiastic now about taking on another assignment with the government. I believe a civilian company of retired special operators like Blackwater would be the way to go.
I got a better idea.
Delete homeland security in it’s entirety, reduce the fib by half, delete the ATF, delete the CIA.....
Then start all over.
I think that's the best way to go with this. So it won't be politicized.
Good point. Why put up with crap in the U.S. when he can get paid better money from the Gulf Arabs in the Middle East. And less headaches.
Go to 30:30 on this video to hear a fascinating discussion regarding the clear coverup and lies regarding the assassination attempt. Focus is on Crooks’ body and how (or from where) he was shot. There is no doubt in my mind that this was NOT incompetence, but an actual Deep State assassination attempt.

The problem isn’t that the 2 functions of the agency conflict with each other, it is corruption and criminality at the top, just like the Fibbies. Separation of the 2 halves won’t fix that.
Separation only means creating TWO entities
That each will grow to be
As big and monolithic
As the parent!!!
Go back to the Pinkerton days and privatize it. Anything touched by the federal bureaucracy is not to be trusted.
