Secret Service Agents Placed on Leave After Trump Assassination Attempt
Real Clear Politics ^ | August 22, 2024 | Susan Crabtree

Three weeks ago, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe angrily pushed back on senators’ calls to immediately fire or discipline key agents directly responsible for the security failures that led to the assassination attempt against former President Trump at last month’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Since that time, Secret Service leaders have placed several members of the Pittsburgh Field Office on administrative leave, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

(Administrative leave occurs when a federal employee temporarily leaves their position and work duties – either because of a misconduct investigation or medical or mental health issue. These employees usually still receive pay and benefits, but those decisions are left to the discretion of agency leadership.) event.

exposed damning things

I think you nailed it. The agents placed on leave are most likely ones that complained about the poor planning or are balking at going along with creating false history. Just like the fired J6 Capitol police that raised issues of their cohorts and fellow 3-letter brothers causing the ruckus.

This may not be as newsy as it appears. It wouldn’t be unusual to be placed on leave of absence for an investigation. I don’t think this is because of a conclusion by investigators yet. That is probably weeks away still.

Local cops are put on administrative leave if they discharge their firearm whether they hit anybody or not. It seems rather odd that it took this long to put the agents on leave in such a high profile event/case..

Now that you’ve pointed it out, I recognize those words.

They come straight out of a Corporate Leadership Manual!

I had to take a class at a place I used to work waaay back in the 80’s and those exact phrases were in that manual!.

It’s all gobbledygook to impress lower ranking employees and make you sound waaay more intelligent so they won’t question your authority!!!!!

That speech was written practically right out of that book!.............

Officials told those members: See that bus? You’re going under it. Someone has to take the fall.

They were supposed to finish the job if the sniper failed. Thank God he stood up and foiled their plan.

They should until and unless they have had hearings or it is determined they violated law.

But the suspensions should have been coming from the end of the first week. They had enough information to start that.

I heard that the female that ducked behind Trump wasn’t one of them.
