Secret Service Spokesman, Two Others Suspended Amid Leak Probe

Three officials within the U.S. Secret Service’s communications office – including the agency’s top spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi – have been removed from their posts and stripped of their security clearances as investigators examine how classified or sensitive information reached the press, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The three were escorted from Secret Service headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Monday and formally designated “do not admit,” meaning they are barred from entering agency facilities, two sources told RealClearPolitics, which first reported on the suspensions. One of those sources said both the FBI and CIA are participating in the inquiry, pointing to a probe with more weight than a routine internal personnel matter.

All three employees are based in the communications office. Placing Secret Service agents or officials on administrative leave and suspending security clearances is standard practice during an investigation and not a confirmation of wrongdoing.

Is this the same Secret Service who botched their own assassination attempt of Donald Trump on July 13, 2024?

[Joann37]

Yes, probably. I know that one woman who led the Secret Service at the time was fired. But how many attempts have been made against Trump since then? And he seems to want to stand behind these people for some reason!

Now that his own son’s life has been threatened, you would think he clean house and get some competency in there.

Well, actually, “somebody” in the SSFBI-CIA-NSA Deep State “communicated” President Trump’s Butler schedule and availability to CNN so they (CNN) could schedule a “live speech” for President Trump on that day.

Fine. Except that was the ONLY SPEECH CNN EVER put on camera live for President Trump... (Working assumption: CNN expected a successful assassination that day, that hour, that minute = PERMANENT publicity and Pulitzer credibility.)

:: botched their own assassination attempt of Donald Trump ::

But, they did OK with their narrative-recovery attempt in Florida at the golf course.

#proof of life for Maxwell Yearick!

Bombshell!! They figured out who left Hunter’s cocaine in the White House!

When Clinton was President, my nephew’s assignment in the Air Force was at Andrew’s Air Force Base, scheduling the presidential fleet.

One of his associates was facing court martial just for telling CNN what time Air Force One arrived.

They wouldn’t be suspended if there wasn’t a pretty solid case.

Suspended Amid Leak Probe

Could be worse they fell out of a 5th story window?

Apparently these Secret Service agents forgot about the “Secret” part.

Likely some Deepstick told them that they're going to want to cover that one. Doesn't necessarily mean that the Deepstick was embedded in the Secret Service.

More than likely this was about the switcheroo in Turkey where Trump switched planes in a sort of shell game. That bit of info got into the media rather quickly. Curious.
