Secret Service Removed Alarm Sensors From Fence Intruder Climbed Over
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 21, 2017 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 03/21/2017 3:11:56 PM PDT by HarleyLady27

The fence jumper who roamed around the White House grounds for 17 minutes before being apprehended by the Secret Service was able to breach security so easily because the sensors along the fence had been reportedly removed.

The agency had removed alarm sensors along an area of one fence that the intruder scaled, according to two sources familiar with details of the incident.

One source said superiors in the Uniformed Division told Secret Service personnel to remove the sensors and piece them together for use elsewhere. They were never replaced.

My question: Why???

There are some possible answers in the Washington Examiner article linked by Gateway Pundit, that were not included in the Gateway Pundit post.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2617925/

The initial fence Tran jumped did trip alarms in that area of the fence-line, but squirrels or even birds sometimes also set off the sensitive sensors, which could have lead to uncertainty about whether someone had jumped the fence or not.

IF this is true, why hasn’t it been reported to ALL media? The Secret Service needs a complete overhaul, but I’m not so sure they were this incompetent.

You mean the same idiot, Obama? The one who didn't want a wall at our southern border because we're in no danger, but insisted on raising the height of the wall around the White House for his own safety? Could be, since he was moving out then the wall security around the White House was no longer a priority, but harming new President Trump became a priority for Obama. Jail him.

I had hoped that he would keep his own security which I would assume would be top notch. Maybe not.

Ever wonder why the big guy spends as much time at Mar a Lago? Cause protection there is his, not the SS.

I wonder if this is true?

"Also Sunday, a guest claimed he “snuck by” the Secret Service and managed to take a photo of himself inside President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago study."

Is appears that I have better a security system on my 40 acre junkyard, than we have on the White House grounds. Shameful!

Perhaps that former occupant of the white house wanted a ‘back door’ entry for a ‘special friend’ to use undetected.

Otherwise there is absolutely no reason for this. I have probably the lowest-tech security camera there is, and it can be monitored in real time, it captures video either constantly or on demand, and it pings my phone when motion sets it off. (Oh, and night vision, too)

Are they seriously expecting us to believe that the entire white house fence is not on 24 hour monitored video??!!? Really?

There’s something terribly (criminally) wrong here.

Love,
O2

Someone within the SS is trying to kill Trump. Two incidents in one week is far, far too may for the leader of the free world.

Remember people whining about Trump keeping his own security? He knows who he can trust.

The Secret Service did the same thing like removing sensors, to JFK. The SS stood down so JFK could get whacked. It is on the video.

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/03/former-secret-service-agent-president-trump-isnt-safe-anymore-white-house-video/

this from an earlier link retired sec. service agent tells it like it is:

Former Secret Service Agent, Dan Bongino went on a rant after an intruder jumped the fence at the White House on Friday night. He said the agency is being run by people who have no idea what they are doing. They are doing the same things they did 20 or 30 years ago, expecting different results.

Bongino: “Having been a former Secret Service agent guys, he’s just not safe anymore …it’s a great agency but it’s being run by a bunch of people who have no idea what they are doing..they are doing things they did 20 or 30 years ago, expecting different results.

I’m not surprised at all that another person breached the White House security perimeter. They’re securing the White House almost the same way they did 20 years ago with a couple technical changes and tinkers around the edges.

You have a uniform division where morale is destroyed, they can’t keep good people. The agent side is hemorrhaging their best personnel. I can tell you about 20 or 30 friends with the intellectual capability who have already left and resigned.

…Bad management..you cannot have the same people in here who are beholden to the same interests, the same DHS…they don’t care about security, they care about the money when they leave the door.

Do you want the White House secure or not?! You better fix the fence! Fix the fence line and stop being concerned with the looks of it!”

I don’t think they are probing for weaknesses. I think they intentionally put the weaknesses in place.

this is why Trump still has his own security team working with the SS. To cover for the rogue ones, and the incompetent ones.

Everyone of them should be FIRED and replaced with trustworthy new agents who will have President Trump’s back.

AND WHO???????? What brainless ‘superior’ gave the orders that these be removed and WHY were no orders forthcoming that they be REPLACED?

SS is falling down on their job. BIGLY!

Bo was a prop for the Obamas — just like the two rented kids. Hussein and Chewbacca have no capacity for “beloved”.
