The panel found ānumerous mistakesāĀ and āspecific failuresā by the agency and warned that āanother Butler can and will happen againā unless āfundamental reformā is enacted.
An independent, bipartisan review identified ānumerous mistakesāĀ by the Secret Service and āspecific failures and breakdownsā that enabled the assassination attempt that injured former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., in July.
The panel, made up of four former senior law enforcement and government officials, also warned ofĀ another catastrophic security lapseĀ if the Secret Service does not immediately undertake āfundamental reform.ā
āThe Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent, and static,āĀ the panel wrote in a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who overseesĀ the organization.
Yeah, thereās a big difference in protecting Obama or Bill Clinton who are retired statesman living peaceful lives and Trump who has been rallying for the last decade. How much protection is he really entitled to? Especially considering his rhetoric is motivating his would be assassins.
