[5-PAGE Summary Report HERE]
WASHINGTON DC – […] Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe said in a press conference that an unspecified number of agency personnel will face repercussions for the lapses that left one person dead and the former president and two others injured, though he declined to detail the possible punishments.
Rowe also repeatedly pledged a “paradigm shift” that would make the agency more “agile” in protecting the nation’s top politicians. But he warned that the agency is “burning through a lot of assets and resources” as it extends the same level of protection to Trump as the sitting president and vice president and called for more.
“We are not capitalizing on a crisis,” Rowe said. “We have finite resources, and we are stretching those resources to their maximum right now.” (read more)
Just do the mission and don’t blame it on the money.
Edit: sh*t rolling downhill when those at the top are in charge
But not a thing about ‘Crooks’ motives, connections, or how he was even able to do what he attempted to do!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Don’t look there, squirrels!!!
Oh, and BTW, we need more money for Trump, it’s his fault, even though ALL former Presidents and any nominee during an election cycle has already been factored into existing budgets.
What a gaslighting POS!
Right.
Actually it could be less money involved for President Trump since he as former president already has a USSS detail.
Good point, Monti.
Money for a former President AND money for a nominee.
If anything, SS protection money for Trump should have a double entry for budget purposes, and this POS says they need more funds because “resources are stretched to their maximum?”
What a croc?
Gaslighting POS is a nice way of saying he’s a lying cheesewizz eunuch
Did he say scout’s honor?
Translation – Ukraine is being prioritized,.. for reasons.
Wonderful…blame budget cuts. And certain unnamed personnel will face unspecified repercussions. Well, that’s settled.
What budget cuts? Biden/Harris have been on a spending spree (illegals,Ukraine, etc.,etc.). Seems to be a lot of available money just being spent on irrelevant/wrong things.
There’s still TRILLION $$$ left over from COVID that they’re trying to get it spent before inauguration.
Waste, waste, profligate crap.
So…….how does this compare, accuracy wise, to Robert Mueller’s, or any other investigation for that matter, that involved federal agencies looking into activities aimed at or surrounding Trump?
Should I trust everything being claimed as the gospel truth?
If full transparency surrounding JFK investigations is any indication…………
Oh, please…don’t tr trust ONE word out of his mouth. I don’t believe anything USSS says or the FBI. Or, frankly, anyone from this Marxist regime.
or fbi or ss investigating themselves?
What a joke!
Any old way they can get through this without telling us what really happened . That’s their MO.
They don’t need more money…they need an agency that’s not corrupt.
Problem solved.
Everything he has done since “Cheat”le stepped down has been a job audition, in the hopes Trump will keep him. I can only imagine how sweet it’ll be once Trump tells him to hit the bricks.
He is trolling us and nothing less.
Maybe get rid of those that can’t do the job or not supporting your main mission. Then hire those who can do the job that is needed. Start with any employees supporting DEI and the DEI employees. Clearly they did not earn it and are eating away at your budget.
The CYA-ing is rampant.
The CIA-ing is rampant, too.
Seems to be quite a few that are in that club openly talking about how they are going to have to resign from their position because they are on team Kamala. Not janitors either.
I can’t believe that blockhead is still there and crying about Money now !
Geez already , get rid of that guy ! 😑
So they have finite resources for ss protection , but infinite resources for Ukraine? Their priorities are all mixed up.
And not just Ukraine.
Yep, forget the vets of the US armed forces, prioritize the current members of the Invasion Force.
$$451B per year, minimum.
Ryan Routh, the President Donald Trump golf club assassin has impressive connections to Ukraine. He lived with Ukrainian soldiers including the Azov Battalion, and met with prominent groups.
Routh is a middle class guy, who is proud of his lawn.
An unemployed guy, living in an $800,000. House in Hawaii, who donated to Democrats through Act Blue. (Come to think of it, 20 year old Butler, Pa. assassin Crooks also donated to Democrats through ActBlue.)
Anyway, Routh is a world class traveler without any visible means of support. Government agencies, CIA, State Department, Treasury, Homeland Security had to know of him. the Grey Lady (NY Times) interviewed him so he was a prominent figure to them.
Obviously Routh is not an ordinary guy.
When they hire people who leave their post to go breast feed it falls on the top for DEI hiring and trying to kill PDJT.
Political appointees to any government positions need to stop
This is not simply about protecting “former” President Donald Trump.
Why is there a
“hyper dynamic threat environment” ?
Is there that kind of
“threat environment”
for
Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter????
-Schmuck!
Pleeze stop the D.C. drama. Just tell us who’s getting fired.
No one! That’s the beauty of being a DEI hire you can never get fired! Firing a DEI hire would mean incompetent individuals would be excluded and that defeats “Diversity”,” Equity” and “Inclusion” of the incompetent in the workplace! JMO
It probably doesn’t help the budget when the SS has to rent a mansion next door to the crack head to protect him. He should be told to reside in Delaware where Biden spends most of his time.
First lie, no money.
Plenty for illegals and Ukraine.
It is as though they are treating the job of protecting PDJT the same as protecting Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton who are both very much retired and out of the political gladiator arena.
With 2 assassination attempts in 2 months they ought to rearrange their priorities which includes getting rid of the chubby kneelers and replacing them with big strong men who are as tall as PDJT. That would be a great start.
At a recent event PDJT held, I noticed the close detail included only men who were at least as tall as Trump.
This explains why your leftist family members suddenly believe everything coming out of DC.
Team SS here’s how to approach your job.
Since “pretending” is so in fashion in DC, pretend that Orange Man is Barack Whosane Obama.
I’m sure PT will be quite secure.
I have zero confidence in any government agency at any level.
Their level of perfidy exceeds all known measure and this so called Agency Director is exemplary.
I suspect this is the prevailing view in the Treehouse.
Oh yeah, It’s always about not enough money! ‘Just like the years of overfunding, year after year, of education, and results always getting worse. It’s always “we don’t have enough money,” and they don’t know — about delivering results or what ordinary folks call, being held accountable to produce results.
What if we held back a few million dollars form Ukraine and protect Americans?
Just add this guy to the hit list of those that will be set out to pasture when President Trump regains the Presidency.
The people that hit the unemployment line will give new meaning to the “Saturday Night Massacre”.
If he were a Patriot, he would resign. That is the end of the story.
Start with a reduction in force, eliminating useless admin positions and DEI hires. Fire anyone who cannot qualify on a tactical shooting range (no static paper targets) and meet objective physical standards.
Certainly make sure they can holster their weapon before going to a shooting range. 🤷♂️
Why? Maybe some stray lead flying around will mean they start holding their own accountable.
“Word salad….” Kameltoe must be moonlighting.
As Harriet Hageman pointed out (hat tip SD)… they always blame the failure on “lack of funding” rather than point their finger at the actual cause of the problem. In this case take your pick – rampant politicized violent rhetoric, open borders, globalist corruption, etc.
Of course, this is all intentional. Just important to remember any time you hear “lack of funding” you need to tune out that BS.
As Dan Bongino pointed out the USSS budget has DOUBLED in the last 20 years. So all the director’s hand wringing about “doing more with less” is pure BS. They aren’t doing an adequate job protecting President Trump simply because they don’t want to, they want him gone as do all of the corrupt bureaucrats in DC.
In SC I taught middle school for 40 years with a salary that was definitely doing more with less. My salary was our second income to help stretch money to meet our needs. Regardless of my salary, I busted my behind to make sure my students came first. Their test scores were high. My instruction took them to levels above and beyond the designated state standards. The relationship between my students and me was one of total respect. Tell the director to hold a bake sale to increase funding.
My quiet motto was always, Make no excuses; take no excuses; kick a$$.
One of my first posts on Treehouse following the assassination attempt in Butler, PA, was that the USSS was going to use the excuse for their incompetency (at best) was that they are underfunded and need more money to do a ‘better job’.
And here we are.
Shit-bags!!
Which employees? The ones that did their job as instructed or the ones that did not do their job?
depends on which set of instructions you are talking about. :-/
incompetence is the shield that corruption often brandishes
My husband and I literally just rolled into the Trump Natl Doral and were waved in complex from the security gate. Gate worker did not even come out and take our name and check against reservation board as usual procedure. Dangerous bs.
There is no doubt that a radical paradigm shift is coming because the old paradigm is crumbling, and let us not forget that we are at a crossroads as we are observing this game-changer, etc., blahblahblah
This asshat’s congressional testimony told us all we needed to know about him. He was contemptuous of Republican congressmen, their questions were met with hostility and dismissiveness. An arrogance and disdain toward congress I’ve never, ever seen from a witness testifying to a committee before. He should have been held in contempt of congress right then by the “R” chair. He bullied and blustered his way through that, hoping to intimidate any follow up or holding his and his agency’s feet to the fire.
To think he is somehow a truth-seeker is one of those pretending things. Fantasy. He’s a bad guy. A really bad guy. You could hear him telling congress they’ll be next in the line of an assassin’s bullet if they dared to press him harder or forgot HE was in charge.
Asshat. Dipsh!t. Scum. He needs a new pager.
And while Congress twiddles, it is getting much worse. Now DHS is joining FBI in ignoring Congressional requests for documents on this and you have General officers refusing to tell Congress whether they have kicked out any from the military who have expressed certain beliefs.
Congress has been showing themselves to be completely irrelevant in how our government is run.
So, now we are concerned about a budget? Yet, we can send unlimited funds for Ukraine? What a bunch of ****
Ronald Michael Crooks?
Wouldn’t it be a pleasure if he just said “We F’d up”
These people make me so angry … they LET THIS HAPPEN, not only ONCE but now TWICE.
They want TRUMP DEAD since nothing else has stopped him from running for President.
Next they will try to put him in prison over nothing.
Trump 2024
$3Billion budget and can’t do their jobs! I smell DEI money being blown on classes @he/him/ them/they BS eating up resources.
#FireRowe….its rots at the head…throwing more Billionz$$$ for more DEI Won’t fix.
CYA on steroids from Rowe today. Intentional incompetency, complacency and lies in broad daylight. No accountability just jerking everyone around. They’re in defense mode for a reason and I think most here know why.
According to leaks, Meredith Bank was lead agent in charge of Butler but hasn’t been fired.
I think there’s 30 or so whistleblowers so far that have come forward. Nothing against the whistleblowers but given the infested bureaucracy, they will do what they always do and bury the truth.
Interesting. Searching on her name brings up a single NY Times news article behind a pay wall from 2 days ago.
No other mention using multiple search sites.
Are those glasses supposed to make him look smart? Not working, I don’t believe a word he’s saying.
I thought Meatball was supposed to give us daily briefings.
Just as the buzzcut is to make him look like a serious LEO… or something.
Protection is an afterthought with corrupt-o-crats. Use the event to shake their tin cup. Morally bankrupt and soulless.
You say “CYA-ing” I say more like “CIA-ing”
💥 💥 💥 💥 💥
I don’t perceive the difference.
The Dude is marinated in swamp water.
Again, POTUS Trump’s life was save by a miracle. And who is the Florida POS assassin? His movements remind me greatly of Oswald. Expensive nternational travel with no known means of suuport.
Act Blue and Blackrock paid for his travel and support.
““We are not capitalizing on a crisis,” Rowe said. “We have finite resources, and we are stretching those resources to their maximum right now.””
It’s often infuriating to listen to bureaucratic flunkies whine about finite resources only to find out what useless left wing nonsense they are wasting their resources on.
And quite often, that focus on and wasting of resources on frivolity usually means the agency is failing at their core mission.
Yet they whine anyway knowing Congress will never hold them accountable.
So a lack of assets is the problem, but more money will make it better. Is being an acting director, like pretending to be a director. Someone qualified to do a job, is able to work with the resources available. However, no one in this pitiful administration is qualified to do a damn thing.
Testa dura. Cement head.
Say ‘paradigm shift’ one more time and my head will completely explode….
A term that was trite, banal and worn out by about 2010…
Clowns….
