The Secret Service has launched an investigation into an incident over the weekend in which an agent tried to smuggle his wife onto a USSS carplane accompanying President Trump’s visit to Scotland, first reported here for @RCPolitics .
The agent in question is a Phase 1 agent (new trainee in first years on the job) who was written up multiple times for misconduct at the Rowley Training Center where agents go through their preliminary training to become agents and can wash out if held to proper standards, according to two sources in the Secret Service community.
Here’s the official Secret Service statement about the incident, which leaves several basic questions unanswered as to why this agent thought it would be okay to take his wife, an Air Force employee, on the C-17 carplane to Scotland:
From @SecretSvcSpox Anthony Guglielmi to @RCPolitics : “The U.S. Secret Service is conducting a personnel investigation after an employee attempted to invite his spouse - a member of the United States Air Force - aboard a mission support flight. The aircraft, operated by the U.S. Air Force, was being used by the Secret Service to transport personnel and equipment. Prior to the overseas departure, the employee was advised by supervisors that such action was prohibited, and the spouse was subsequently prevented from taking the flight. No Secret Service protectees were aboard and there was no impact to our overseas protective operations.”
When I asked whether anyone in a position of authority signed off on it or gave the impression it would be okay, Guglielmi told me the investigation would determine that.
We should be throwing a party because it was the guy’s (I’m making an assumption here, I know) wife, rather than his girlfriend, boyfriend, service animal, or who the !@#@! knows what else.
The agent in question was a Phase 1 agent now.
Written up multiple times for misconduct = A security risk
Charles__Marino, a former Secret Service agent, senior Homeland Security adviser, and author of the book Terrorists on the Border and in Our Country, weighs in: “This is very troubling. They should do a full review of everyone that was hired under Cheatle & Rowe under the Biden admin,

Does she float?
If they don’t bounce him, they should transfer him to Biden’s detail - permanently.
The wife should be allowed to sign up for the USSS if she’s not afraid of a slanted roof.
It used to be said that Secret Service were the elite security people. Nowadays it seems they are one step above mall cops.
Should be fired immediately......................
That’s cool, thanks for the info. I learn something new every day on this site......
Why in the heck would they keep a SS Agent who was written up multiple times for misconduct??!!
My short guess would be protected class.
Doesn’t seem like a security breach, but is definitely gross misconduct. This guy will soon be called a former SS agent. If nothing else, for the stupidity of breaking the rules after you had been told, “NO”.
I first thought that too. Then again, who determined the pronoun?
EC
If you exhibit multiple episodes of misconduct while you're undergoing training, how do you get to graduate and get a badge? He displayed a pattern of bad behavior. What did they think he'd do once he got his badge? Was he a DEI hire, and they were afraid to terminate him?
“””Why in the heck would they keep a SS Agent who was written up multiple times for misconduct??!!”””
Biden DEI agent.
Like the DEI trash who were bawling on Obama duty.
“Should be fired immediately”
This.
