I doubt the SS would’ve shown up if the comment had been innocently directed at someone else and not Trump. (But nice try, Beck.) They have better things to do than make unnecessary visits. Most likely they did their due diligence and felt the issue was worth looking in to.
I understand the SS going to Dallas to talk to the others on air w/Beck when the stabbing comment was made. I can’t find anything on line saying that the Secret Service also spoke w/Beck in DC at CPAC (where in theory he would have had access to Trump, had Trump not opted out of his own CPAC speech).
Now Breitbart (whose site is linked to—from my recollection—from The Blaze frequently), along w/other bloggers are back peddling and accepting “he was threatening Stu” meme.
Something ain’t right here. The SS needed to interview Beck as well as Dallas staff (i.e., those who had NO access to Trump in the short term future as Beck did).
