WashPost: Secret Service Issues Known for 10 Years

The assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump last year reportedly occurred after lawmakers and presidential administrations failed to address weaknesses within the Secret Service during the past decade.

Separate 2014 investigations by the White House and Congress found that the Secret Service was in crisis and pushed beyond its capabilities. Leadership also tended to cover up problems rather than address them, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The result was recommendations that included an increase in agent training and the hiring of fresh leadership.

However, the Post reported that instead of being fixed, some Secret Service problems have grown worse. For example, the agency still lacks a sufficient number of agents. That has led to burnout and low morale, with many veteran agents leaving, the outlet said.

Besides that, the outlet reported agency recruits with five years or less on the job comprise 40% of the service's workforce. In 2015, they made up 13%.

That relative inexperience contributed to the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania...

Ten years ago, the Secret Service was embroiled in a disastrous failure......the media reported, “a man carrying a knife was able to get inside the front door of the White House after jumping a fence and sprinting more than 70 yards across the North Lawn.”

One of the excuses at the time was underfunding, or a staffing shortage.........

The Secret Service budget has soared in recent years.

Secret Service real spending has grown from $2.34 billion in 2014
to $3.62 billion in 2024, a 55 percent increase in ten years———inflation-adjusted dollars.

What is the significance of the stunning S/S payroll
numbers as a result of the Trump assassination debacle?

<><>There are 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 S/S govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, bonuses, autos, perpetual healthcare, life insurance, expense accounts, credit cards, and pensions.

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

<><>The President’s Executive Office employs 1800 tax-paid individuals, some 584 in the WH alone.

Yet, Biden, Mayorkas and then S/S head Cheatle denied Trump’s request for increased security.

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

Call Congress to express your outrage.

Message: Payroll fraud is widespread and easy to pull off on the 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.

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

Excellent example. These traitors (globalist) created America last policies. It's why they criminally undermined and compromised Trump, then attempted to overthrow Trump. Their media propagandist worked overtime...Make America great became a bad threatening word.

Did they try to kill Trump as well? Did they attempt to derail America/Trump's 1st term with bio weapons? And the borders are wide open to millions. Many believe they're being paid off by the cartels to make damn sure the border remains open and compromised.

Serious investigations are needed. Nuremburg trials come to mind.
