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.

.....these people, doubtless all liberals, need to be prosecuted for a serious crime. TREASON sounds about right! At least “the process” of trials and publicity and attorney’s fees will add up some significant shaming and punishment even if they are not found guilty.

Retirement and another cushy government job or writing a book is just shooting the middle finger at all of us by THE LEFT !!

But they get to avoid any accountability whatsoever.

Who knows but they may be looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives.

Besides, how well they’ll live for eternity is another matter.

God won’t let this slide.

I agree. But they know if they retire first they get all there benefits. As a civilian I wonder if they can still be charged. From what I understand the truth that is going to come out is criminal. Someone gave them the order to ignore the shooter. Basically allowing him to take the shots. The sniper that took the first shot was a police sniper and not secret service. Hit the stock of his gun and fraged his face. I dont know what’s going to come out but it must be really bad.

It was one big setup to kill Trump.

I pray they repent, because any justice they might receive on Earth is laughable, compared to suffering Hell FOREVER.

Excruciatingly true. The vast majority of people would prefer not to think about it and, thus, relegate the thought to the deepest recesses of their subconscious. Until that day arrives...

The kid’s electronic devices have still not received the media attention they deserve. Who is hiding what from whom?
