It was Direct, Intentional, Calculated, Dereliction & Negligence on the part of the Secret Service...

[Cas]

And Still no one fired? They are hiding

[silverstasher]

They didn't leave that building uncovered their guy was on the building that was the problem

[livingitupish]

To leave that building not secure is beyond common sense. This was deliberate

[lizhorton]

This was a disgrace and I hope the people responsible would be held accountable. Thank you for having the ex-secret service agent on the show.

In other News: The prison guard was on his break and no cameras were working.

[simo]

So when are we going to stop blaming incompetence and acknowledge that it was intentional. Secret service went full bird box on this assignment

[pacldawson]

This ex-Secret Service gentleman lays out the problems with clarity.

[lilychang]

[Webb_Master]

Security at Kay Jewlers is tighter than this.

[jackhartel]

Finally, somebody that's coming out That's been there and done it Speaking the truth

[Lobo.paciente]

Not supporting any parties but I’m glad someone who knows what they’re talking about acknowledges the disgraceful performance of the secret service 🤦🏽‍♂️

[ELLEKx]

They didn't give him the same protection as a ex president. Obama wouldn't be fired at

[keithm]

What handling? no one handled anything. They were intentionally incompetent.

[jodyroberts]

Shaggy & Scooby Doo could have done a better job!🤦🏼

[daviddemarco]

There is obviously, so much, we aren't being told. This needs to be thourally investigated and exposes.

[carolmfrank]

Wow. Finally! This guy knows what hes talking about!! He should be head of secret service. No nonsense type of man!

[criticalthought]

And by the grace of God their plan failed.

[brendadesmond]

This is not incompetence or negligence. It only makes sense if it was the plan.

[lukemn]

Legend has it the female Secret Service agent still hasn't gotten her sidearm holstered.
