If the Sloppy Service was investigating multiple people in a crime who wanted to “get their stories straight” you can bet the SS would be pushing for obstruction of justice charges too.
7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Force Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel are on the taxpayers’ govt payroll.
Complete with perks, privileges, eternal Cadillac healthcare, bonuses, expense accounts, charge cards, and pensions.
Roughly half of the Secret Service’s $3 billion budget is spent on “protective services.”
It also has a robust cybercrime division, state-of-the-art forensic labs
and a threat-assessment center that studies “how to mitigate and train against threats.”
Doesn’t law enforcement separate people they are questioning so they cannot collude on a “story”.
