USSS Suspends 6 Agents over Trump Assassination Attempt

[rtschl]

Susan Crabtree of Real Clear Politics writes about the Secret Service suspending 6 agents yesterday for failures in the attempted assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, PA last year. Very good read, as she has had numerous articles over the years on the USSS. What happened within the USSS after this is outrageous. Reading the entire post will make your blood boil. Here are some snippets from it:

EXCLUSIVE AND #BREAKING: The real story behind the six Secret Service suspensions over Butler failures:
Key supervisors who signed off on the Butler security plan and two who were on the final walkthroughs before the J13 rally were never disciplined but instead received BIG PROMOTIONS, multiple sources in the Secret Service community tell RealClearPolitics @RCPolitics.

One of those supervisors on the final walkthroughs, Nick Menster, was assigned this year as the No. 2 in charge of the Lara and Eric Trump protective detail. The other, Nick Olszewski, ironically, became the chief (special agent in charge) of the Inspection Division, which is responsible for ensuring the accountability and integrity of the agency’s personnel and operations.

Inexperienced agents positioned for failure and a more senior agent who spoke out about the ambiguity about the AGR roof coverage, according to Secret Service sources and Congressional testimony, are taking the fall.

Rank-and-file agents are incensed over the decision not to hold the supervisors accountable, further sinking the low morale and exacerbating retention problems throughout the agency. Secret Service Director Sean Curran was in charge of the Donald Trump detail at the time of the rally, and Menster served under his command.

It took them long enough to get around to this. They should have been suspended without pay until now and maybe it would not have taken so long.

Susan Crabtree is reporting more information:

#BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP BANNED A SECRET SERVICE AGENT PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BUTLER FROM GETTING ANYWHERE NEAR HIM.

He informed his entire Secret Service detail of his concerns about the agent during a Christmas Party for the agents late last year at Mar-a-Lago:

“As you guys can see, that person is no longer welcome here,” he told the crowd, elaborating that he didn’t want this agent anywhere near him ever again, according to several Secret Service sources familiar with his comments.
