Florida man charged with impersonating a security member for Trump's Marine One
The Hill ^ | 01 11 2020 | J. Edward Moreno

Posted on 01/11/2020 3:29:03 PM PST by yesthatjallen

A former Marine allegedly impersonated a security team member for Marine One, the helicopter that transports President Trump on short trips, and breached two checkpoints last week at Palm Beach International Airport, according to authorities.

Brandon Magnan, 37, is charged with false personation of an officer or employee of the United States, according to federal court documents.

The helicopter unit, known as HMX-1, takes Trump to and from his residence in Florida. Trump was spending his winter vacation at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach at the time of the incident. Magnan approached a security checkpoint near where the helicopter was housed and showed credentials that indicated he was a law enforcement officer with the United States Marine Corps.

He made it past another checkpoint before a sheriff’s deputy there noticed that Magnan was not wearing a Marine Corps uniform. When confronted, Magnan told officers he was a retired member of HMX-1. However, the court documents show Magnan was dishonorably discharged about 10 years ago after being convicted at a court-martial for “serious offenses.”

According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Magnan was convicted of “abusive sexual conduct” and sodomy during his time in the military. It’s unclear what the details of those offenses are.

This is scary. Thank God they caught him. This will also cause them to be extra careful in the future - they need to assume that someone is always trying something.

Thank God they caught him....

Amen.

Just a reminder....
Jan.24, 2017 Washington Examiner:
A senior U.S. Secret Service agent posted Facebook condemnations of President Trump during the past seven months, including one in which she said she wouldn’t want to “take a bullet” for him.

She explained herself saying she viewed his presidential candidacy as a “disaster” for the country, and especially for women and minorities.

Kerry O’Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Denver district, oversees coordination with Washington-based advance teams for all presidential candidate and presidential trips to the area, including all upcoming or future trips by the president, vice president or Trump administration officials.

“I will be elated if Trump makes through another term without being assassinated.”

I felt the same way during the campaign cycle, and thru his first term, so far. I can’t even imagine the number of threats and intercepted attempts they’ve had, to date. The numbers would probably melt my calculator. I think it’s going to get a LOT worse after 11/3/24...

Definitely troubling.

There was also the Chinese woman who breached security.

I think, if it’s military, we know darn well what sodomy likely means in the military, especially ten years ago.
