Sen. Josh Hawley said he’s been informed by whistleblowers that most of the agents assigned to protect Donald Trump during the assassination attempt at his Butler, Pa., rally in July were Homeland Security personnel who had minimal protective training.

Instead of having dozens of Secret Service agents on his detail for the July 13 rally, Trump was mostly guarded by Homeland Security agents who only received online webinar training before the event, Hawley (R-Mo.) said in an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday evening.

“A two-hour, online webinar. And I’m told that half the time, the sounds to the webinar didn’t even work,” Hawley claimed.

The Homeland Security agents were supposedly pulled off child exploitation cases and other investigations in order to serve on Trump’s protective detail — which was something they did not normally do, Hawley added.

They tried to create a perfect storm of ineptitude and incompetence to cover their plot to assassinate Trump.

Why waqsn’t the Agent in Charge at Butler allowed to testify under oath? It would have been very revealing to hear what she had to say, her experience, her training and her background.

S/S DEI director.

Secret Service equity director says DEI agenda is a 'mission imperative,' the 'ultimate goal'
Fox News ^ | July 18, 2024 | Hannah Grossman / Posted on 9/4/2024, by 4Runner

DEI director Loucious Hires said when every Secret Service agent makes DEI a 'mission imperative' the agency will have 'achieved our ultimate goal' Andrew "Drew" Cannady, a supervisory attorney-advisor for the Secret Service’s Office of Chief Counsel, explained how the agency has been going to Pride events to recruit candidates and has seen more transgender people in the service as a result. "We like every other organization. We benefit from diversity. And I actually am seeing more openly… trans recruits out of the training center, law enforcement recruits, which is great," Cannady said on the agency podcast in 2022.

Most of the time was spent looking at their phones, texting and brigading reddit threads.

Nothing makes you feel safer than being protected by 5’2” females and men that don’t want to be men.

And also keep the real SS agents who knew protocol away from the scene so they couldn’t object. The Homeland people didn’t know enough to know what was going on was wrong do it was allowed to proceed.

In response to this accusation, someone from the Secret Service has come out and said that the Secret Service has sent thousands of pages of documents and many Secret Service agents to testify in Congress. Somehow it needed a whistleblower to reveal the fact that the people only had two hours of training, on the Internet, which sometimes failed in transmission.

This is like many investigations during the Clinton administration when Clinton’s people said that they had sent 10,000 or so pages of documents. Of course they never included the ones that they actually showed what had happened.
