lied.
On Saturday, after strenuously denying they had ever turned down any requests for additional security from the Trump campaign, the Secret Service admitted they had, in fact, short-changed the security of the ex-president on several occasions.
Huh. And there should be Hell to pay!
Agents charged with protecting the former president requested magnetometers and more agents to screen attendees at sporting events and other large public gatherings Trump attended, as well as additional snipers and specialty teams at other outdoor events, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive security discussions. The requests, which have not been previously reported, were sometimes denied by senior officials at the agency, who cited various reasons, including a lack of resources at an agency that has long struggled with staffing shortages, they said.
… But Director Cheatle and Secretary Mayorkas flinch at the very thought of answering questions about their decisions. We are going to see Cheatle and Mayorkas this week, bobbing and weaving, trying to save their own sorry a**es after the most comprehensive failure in presidential security since 1981. It sickens me that a once great agency should have been taken so low by such incompetent swine as Cheatle and Mayorkas.
