The Secret Service Has a $3B Budget. It Doesn’t Need More Money.

FrontPage Magazine ^ | Sept 17 2024 | Daniel Greenfield

It's not a money issue.

The usual D.C. response to government failures is to call for more money. This time it’s for the Secret Service.

There’s now a back-and-forth between congressional Republicans and Democrats over Secret Service funding. The Dems and the media are playing the usual Catch-22 game. Either Republicans increase spending or the Dems and the media can blame them for the next Trump assassination attempt.

Does the Secret Service actually need more money? It has a $3 billion budget. That’s around double what it was in 2000.

Only about $1.2 billion of that goes to protective operations and only about $73 million gets spent on providing security at presidential campaigns. $138 million gets spent on training and professional development.

By way of comparison, $3 billion is around the LAPD budget. And while there are obvious differences between the duties and areas of operations for the LAPD and the Secret Service, the LAPD has more personnel and covers a wider territory and deals with deadlier threats. It also has a better performance record than the Secret Service.

The two Trump assassination attempts came so close because the Secret Service failed to actually closely monitor the scene allowing the two killers plenty of time to set up. More money is not fixing this problem.

Someone from LE spoke and said the perimeter was not guarded because Trump is only a former President and only a candidate.

It looks like that would cover both attempts. In other words, Trump is only kinda protected.

[joshua c]

no question its a crisis of leadership

not money

the only question is

whether it is intentional

are they stupid or evil?

both is an option

[Gaffer]

IMO, it has become POLITICAL. Former Director Cheatle was put in charge because she got along so well with Doktor Jill. By their own account their primary focus now is DEI. Their priorities and the priorities of this President are directly responsible for the two attempts on Donald Trump’s life, IMO.

Speaking of the stonewalling and clueless Cheatle, it got very little airplay in MSM that she was given her own protection detail by Joe Biden because he feared MAGA would do something to her.

Money? Nope. No more money - take some back. They need agents working there who’ll take a bullet for a President, not help the assassins out by making things easy for him if it’s a Republican.

[Gaffer]

Former Director Cheatle (Director Stonewaller) is nor ever was President, a candidate or elected for anything, yet SHE has her own protection detail (assigned by FJB because he feared MAGA would hurt her.).

Some things (Creative Smarts, for instance), no amount of money can buy.

W/ a $3 billion taxpayer-paid payroll, ousted loser Kim Cheatle employed 7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Force Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, bonuses, perpetual Cadillac healthcare, and mega govt pensions.

<><>Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division which apparently “lent” employees to Cheatle has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With perks privileges healthcare bonuses and pensions.

<><>The Executive Office of the President employs 1800 tax-paid individuals, some 584 in the WH alone. Taxpayers paid $158.8 million on the largest White House payroll in American history, based on headcount. White House staff for FY2023 collectively cost $52,775,234.

Yet, Biden, Mayorkas and Cheatle denied Trump’s request for increased security.

The Biden regime sent $200,000,000,000 tax dollars to Ukraine to protect “democracy,”
but could not find the tax dollars to beef up security for a American presidential candidate.

Biden appointee Kim Cheatle’s forced resignation should not deter us from determining
the significance of the stunning payroll numbers coming out of the Trump shooting debacle.

Message: Payroll fraud is widespread and easy to pull off on a $3 billion S/S govt payroll.

There are several methodologies used, including
<><>submitting falsified time sheets,
<><>issuing unauthorized paychecks, healthcare, bonuses, benefits and overtime
<><>enrolling fictitious employees in pension plans.

The govt fraudster simply sets up fictitious employees and arranges for them to receive a salary,
benefits, overtime payments, bonuses and pensions, even though they do not perform any duties.

The fraudster then diverts the fraudulent payments into their bank account or that of an accomplice.

Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindling, IRS fraud.

Democrats introduce Bill To Strip Trump’s Secret Service Protection

Democrat Bennie Thompson, ranking member, House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the absurdly named “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081)” on April 19, 2024.

Democrat co-sponsors include Reps: <><>Yvette D. Clarke, <><>Troy A. Carter Sr., <><>Frederica Wilson, <><>Bonnie Watson Coleman, <><>Jasmine Crockett, <><>Joyce Beatty, <><>Barbara Lee, <><>Steve Cohen.

Question: who put these Democraps up to facilitating a Trump assassination?

Cong Bennie Thompson pictured, headed the infamous Jan. 6th Commission, crafted the bill w/ eight Democrat co-sponsors to strip Trump of S/S detail, was a black separatist early on (his resume enhancer?)

Thompson aide and field director, tax paid “civil rights” activist, Jacqueline Marsaw tweeted she wished the assassin had “better aim.”

Call Congress: (202) 224-3121 U.S. House switchboard operator.

Message: Subpoena these lawmakers. Taxpayers demand to know who organized this heinous assault on democracy-——exposing candidates to harm and assassination——and the number of tax dollars and tax-subsidized aides and office supplies that were used in this legislative atrocity.

It’s a distraction.

Change the subject to money. Congress could care less, it’s impossible to pay off the $36 Trillion they’ve ran up. That’s all they do is authorize funding.

Biden Ordered Secret Service Protection for Cheatle the Forced-Out Agency Chief
Real Clear Politics ^ | 8/16/24 | Susan Crabtree
Posted on 8/16/2024, 10:22:34 AM by hardspunned

The Secret Service is providing Kimberly Cheatle, its former director who resigned last month, a security detail in an unprecedented effort to protect a former agency chief amid lingering national anger about the myriad security lapses under her watch that led to the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and the killing of firefighter Corey Comperatore, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

Cheatle has faced an ongoing firestorm of fury from Americans citizens, and even rank-and-file Secret Service special agents and officers, over the agency’s failures that created an opening for shooter Thomas Crooks to open fire on Trump, piercing his ear and killing Comperatore in front of his family and wounding two other rally-goers.

Biden Praises Resigned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle
Breitbart ^ | 07/23/2024 | KRISTINA WONG
Posted on 7/23/2024, 12:56:45 PM by ChicagoConservative27
Joe Biden praised ex-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned after facing a barrage of angry lawmakers on both sides of the aisle at a hearing on the agency’s failure to prevent an assassination attempt against President Donald Trump.

Biden said in his statement on Tuesday:

“Jill and I are grateful to Director Kim Cheatle for her decades of public service. She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career in the United States Secret Service. We especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service during our Administration and we are grateful for her service to our family.”

Ronald L. Rowe Jr, her deputy who replaced Kimberly Cheatle as interim director, represents more of “the same” in charge, Dan Bongino pointed out: “Cheatle, the director, wasn’t even fired. She was allowed to resign. She’ll go get some cushy job somewhere, and Rowe, “her deputy” got promoted.

Hours Before the 2nd Assassination Attempt, Dem Rep. Jasmine
Crockett Called Trump a Domestic Terror Threat (VIDEO)

Just hours before the second assassination attempt against President Trump, black Texas Democrat
Jasmine Crockett suggested Trump and the MAGA movement represent a “domestic terror threat.”

Another “dynamic statement” blending Democrat stupidity with minority know-nothingness.

Her sense of timing must be legendary.

You know voter fraud is rampant if this lamebrain got a seat in Congress.

[Candor7]

The two Trump assassination attempts came so close because the Secret Service failed to actually closely monitor the scene allowing the two killers plenty of time to set up. More money is not fixing this problem. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Secret Service has been politicized and is now run by MArxists. It is weaponized against Donald Trump to commit acts of non-feasance and espionage.

IN short they do not do their job, just enough to get Trump killed.And dangerously, among their ranks there may lurk an assassin.

[9YearLurker]

It helps to point out the obvious, which is that the effective standdown of Trump’s security has nothing to do with a lack of resources.
