Did she just indicate that Gonzales was being investigated for a crime, released from prison, or something to that effect?
Chaffetz asks question about officers who recognized him, but didn’t report it.
I think all the questions about Gonzalez & was done or not done (and the SS does have legal constraints) cloud the bottom line issue. There are a lot of people in this country who would like to see something bad happen to Obama and have had thoughts of such ... but they don’t act on them. Many are mentally ill, others could be terrorists, etc. REGARDLESS of any of this, when it comes to the first family when at home, it all comes down to the moment those people, whoever they are, get to the perimeter of the WH and can the SS stop them there and protect the WH occupants. The answer is “NO” based on this latest event. Forget all the other crap - prescreening, whatever .... sure, they need to do it, but you’re going to motivation, mental state, etc. .... all ‘soft’ issues, if you will. The protection of the WH is a ‘hard’ issue ... and they failed that mission. Pierson needs to go and those agents that didn’t follow the protocols in place should be fired or face major discipline. Period.
