After three assassination attempts, suspected leaks at Secret Service
American Thinker ^ | 30 Aug, 2026 | Jim Davis

We know almost nothing about this story...and that’s a big part of the problem.

The chief spokesman for the United States Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi, has now been placed on administrative leave along with two other agency communications employees, while the Secret Service investigates what it calls “potential misconduct.”

Their security clearances and access to government devices have reportedly been suspended. The government has not disclosed what they allegedly did. Guglielmi’s lawyer says he is fully cooperating and maintains his innocence.

The agency has disclosed remarkably little about the investigation, other than that it is being handled by its Office of Professional Responsibility. Guglielmi’s attorney, Gregg Bernstein, says his client is a man of “deep integrity” who is fully cooperating. And until investigators disclose more, Americans should demand answers without pretending unanswered questions are already proven facts.

Other circumstances, discussed by Jonathan Gregory at Instagram:

[This follows] two explosive leaks that compromised presidential security: first, the revelation of a clandestine Air Force One aircraft-swap maneuver executed through a catering cart to evade detection, and second, granular details of Vice President JD Vance’s protective movements that never should have left a secure briefing room. These breaches occurred under Guglielmi’s watch and handed adversaries a playbook on how the Trump administration moves its principals.

Guglielmi did not arrive at the Secret Service as an obscure civil servant. Before joining the agency, he held prominent communications positions with the Chicago, Baltimore, and Fairfax County police departments. (Note that these are all left-wing citadels.)

He subsequently became the public face of the Secret Service and was chosen for that role by Team Biden, which notoriously packed law enforcement and intelligence agencies with partisan Democrats. That makes his current issues particularly noteworthy.

“”And with Republicans, who usually cannot imagine some people being inherently bad in DC positions of power (i.e., elected Democrats), the lobbyists, and to some extent, the Democrats themselves, are able to schmooze them with lines like “Do you think Americans will REALLY do landscaping in hot weather?””

***

Right, they are naive and corruptible, since the schmoozing (bribes) work only too well. Case in point: I used to think that Kay Granger was THE best, most conservative rep ever. But lo and behold, once she got to DC, that all seemed to change. Your point proven, she was schmoozed... good & plenty.

Exactly right. Take a cue from Slick Willy, come in and fire everyone and replace them with your team, not doing so is negligent.

If you’re going to have a conspiracy within the government to kill the president, you better non F it up.

Butler was an obvious attempt in plain sight by the deepstate to kill Donald Trump.

They, republicans and demonrats alike, will rue the day if they ever succeed.

“Do you think Americans will REALLY do landscaping in hot weather?”

My neighbor Brent handles 60 yards. He has a weed-whacking helper who speaks fluent English y Español tambien.

Brent drives a stand-up lawnmower at about 10 mph to keep cool and mosquito-free.

Not doing so defies logic. But I am ‘almost’ getting used to that, by now. It’s amazing what you can, given enough time, get accustomed to (pot of slow-boiling water = nice, warm jacuzzi putting you to sleep).

“There needs to be a complete purge of Democrats from *all* agencies.”

Trump’s people would have to do all the work themselves.

If Trump’s appointee goes to a doctor, the office typically becomes wall-to-wall Democratic.

In DC, presidential elections run about 96% Democratic votes.

Uncle Sam butters Democratic bread.

When you say “handles”, that means he does the physical mowing work himself, right? That’s pretty rare. I have never seen a white person doing landscaping, mowing, or even tree trimming. Has always been Hispanic, Latino, Mexican, etc.

JillBiden organized the SS in accordance with DEI — she vetted the female lead just before the Butler attempt.
She organized it. Everyone she touched in the hiring process since 2019 should be fired.

In situations like this you need to prove innocence.

Intelligent, moral people have long walked away from such government positions which is why a buffoon like Kimberly Cheatle, who previously worked for Pepsi, ends up as the head of the Secret Service.

Why was he even allowed in that position, since he was appointed there by Biden???

"I always wondered why details of the Air Force One change-ups were released. Now we know: they weren’t supposed to be released."

When I first heard about this my first thought was ... "So much for all those critics of 'security through obscurity'."
