It’s been six weeks since the attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the American public’s questions about the nature of the attack and the security failings that led to Trump’s brush with death largely remain unanswered.
Jason Chaffetz, a Fox News contributor and former Utah congressman who once chaired the House Oversight Committee, joined “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the apparent security failures and ongoing investigations into what transpired in Butler on July 13.
“I thought the extraction was very slow. I thought it was fairly pathetic,” Chaffetz told The Daily Signal. “It’s been illuminated more now that even though he was the Republican nominee, even though he was the former president, he wasn’t getting the full protective detail that a sitting president would get. And I have a problem with that.”
Chaffetz thinks the failures are structural. Poor recruitment and training, as well as heavy workloads, create a perfect storm for the kinds of security lapses witnessed on July 13 in Butler, Chaffetz suggested. These problems have long plagued the Secret Service.
When Chaffetz chaired the House Oversight Committee, he conducted the largest investigation into the Secret Service’s operations in American history. The investigation resulted in a more than 400-page report, “United States Secret Service: An Agency in Crisis.”
The former Utah congressman remains “skeptical” that the current investigations in Congress will yield the policy changes necessary to improve the Secret Service without Congress using the power of the purse to “hold them accountable.”
“He lied.............”
That’s in job description.
“It was 10 Secret Service agents who were fired for bringing hookers back to their hotel”
Have you seen the female SS agents?
It is clear that Trump was deliberately set up by the SS (and DEEP STATE) for assassination. I suspect that Idiot Joe Biden and Nanzi Pelosi may have been involved.
The CIA/Intel Agencies were running the Op. The Secret Service was supposed to act like the Keystone Cops and the FBI was to run the coverup and evidence destruction.
Are you sure the female agents weren't among those who brought back hookers?
I saw one time weeks ago, a map with phone pings that ONE of them was an FBI office in Washington, DC. Anyone else see that? Never saw it again. Now they say they can't crack his phone. Go as any teenager, ok?
Who IS paying for parent's high powered new lawyers? Why was his house supposedly lab-clean?
DOCTOR Jill was speaking J13 about an hour East of PDJT. Spoke for about 5 minutes. Lots of SS over at her sight. What a coincidence.
Who are the 5 SS agents on leave? Shuffled to where? Names?
We need answers.
The SS loves dumbass sheep such as yourself. This is at least criminal level negligence.
“Everything they can”
>> Crooks was able to combine strategic thinking with technical skills...
please stop
Same old nonsense.
Yet "oops" of incompetence is just okeedokee.
Very true!
::I just think the SS was lackadaisical and sloppy....::
~~~~~~~
Uh-huh, and that is exactly what they want us to think so we don’t zero in on the deliberate assassination plot that they were a part of.
Yep
Yep, Lee Harvey Crooks.... And they didn’t even have to get a Jack Ruby to kill off the patsy.
Shhh....Chaffetz is just repeating what he has been told to say.
My opinion is that Trump’s attempted assassination was government backed, and JFK’s assassination was Mafia backed....
What Is Secret Service Hiding About Trump Assassination Attempt?
Treason, conspiracy to commit murder, just to name two.
Oooh oooh, me me... That they were in on it?
