Several high-ranking Secret Service agents are stepping down just before the public release of an internal investigation into the failures that led to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, PA on July 13. Among the findings of the report is the revelation that agents did not instruct local police to secure the rooftop of the building where the gunman positioned himself, two anonymous sources have revealed to the Washington Post.
Mike Plati, the assistant director of the Office of Protective Operations, officially retired on Friday, according to a statement from the Secret Service.
John Buckley, a senior executive responsible for managing resources for public event security, is also set to retire soon, as revealed in an email sent to Secret Service staff. Additionally, a senior agent from the Pittsburgh field office, who was involved in developing a security plan, has signaled his intent to retire, according to an official familiar with the investigation.

BTTT
That doesn’t absolve them of responsibility in the matter.
And get a cushy job at some other government agency or military area.
Retire with FULL benefits, when they should be frog marched to prison.
“That doesn’t absolve them of responsibility in the matter.”
But there’ll be no consequences for them here on earth. Lois Lerner. Strzok. Page. Etc.
"Mistakes were made." "We need more money."
Nice way to make lemonade out of lemons....
Retire with a nice pension, awards on the wall, and no accountability. That is the way it works in Washington DC.
“failures”??
Yeah, “failures” - not purposeful dereliction of duty ...
Frog marched - possibly, but they might also feel the need to get out before having to lie under oath to cover up the truth that they've been forced to hire obese and incompetent Didn't Earn It (DEI) employees.
Sometimes there are consequences!
I could see the DOJ filling RICO charges against you and me if we continue to disparage these fine civil servants.
“Former FBI agent Peter Strzok reaches $1.2 million settlement with DOJ”
IMO, one of the first things a real President could do is to bar any retirements pending in any anticipation of an investigation.
These goons were part of the assassination attempt to kill former President Trump, IMO.
They deserve much more than a wrist slap and cushy retirement.
Indeed, Clintonian.
But it does prevent them from testifying to Congress about anything which shows that this was an inside job.
If you look at the secret service leadership top level behavior you can make a very strong case that they were intentionally dropping the ball to make it easy President Trump get assassinated.
This while the lawfare show trial prosecutors were trying give President Trump maximum exposure in very hard to secure hostile venues in hopes that an assassin with a bad case of TDS would take care of their Trump problem for them
But it does give them more legal options to refuse to testify in any subsequent investigations.
Not that those would happen in a Harris administration. But they certainly would happen in a Trump administration.
By ‘failed’, does that mean they did or didn’t provide protection as directed from a higher source. IOW, the desired result ‘failed’ to be acheived.
Is shorty going to retire?
