Remember how the Secret Service erased their phones after Jan. 6th?

[veritasvincit]

Why is it called the Secret Service? It's not very secretive. And from the looks of it, their service isn't great either.

[MichaelMoore-rcch]

How did the secret service not see all the crap that was going on at maralardo with the top secret documents and managed to lose all the text messages from there phones .

[SolarVergmoid]

The Secret Service is a LOT more SECRETIVE than they let on…

[danielrussell]

Secret Service blames local law enforcement, local law enforcement blames Secret Service. Way to take accountability.

[joshm.]

So the secret service knew, but didn’t clear the stage. The news should be asking these questions.

[CA-tkyn]

So 140 yards is outside the normal secure area? I'm stunned by hearing that.

[redryder]

Interesting that his dad said his son and gun were missing? A 20 year old, adult, Missing?? Hmmmm, sounds like son talked to much and dad heard something..

[OpinionatedPirck]

The motive is still unclear? Are you fkn kidding?

[kirtjames]

Motive?

Erm... he didn't like Trump possibly?!..

[countreekidd]

It's not peculiar, his online activity and cell phone info were scrubbed before he set out on this mission. They need to be investigating his father and what law enforcement connections he has.

[Jahnink]

If you get a ladder and use it to access a rooftop, how does it then magically disappear? So if there indeed is a gap in the Secret Service (there is), there is an even bigger gap in substantive reporting. Not even asking basic 3rd grade questions. Ludicrous.

[toolsdealsautomobiles]

Law enforcement was in the building as a staging area while he was on the roof

[soniagalindo]

Funny how they are trying to find scapegoats for failures.

[michaelmartinez]

J.D.Vance compared Trump to Hitler years ago 😮

[suzellechaput]

Accountability 4:55 for secret service ? What about january 6th accountability ?

[ChasingWheelz]

Wait the father purchased the weapon for the kid only later to be alarmed that both he and the riffle was missing? Why was he alarmed? Did he know anything more prior to the incident?

[MrKbtor]

Wasn't there communication with SS and local police?

[joeyjo-joshabadu]

How many homes in America do you think have 12 firearms?

[deborah]

So the secret service did not care to secure the area. WHY?
