That is the excuse he wants to run with? It wasn’t on his official calendar?
This is the man who assumed leadership of the Secret Service, the agency responsible to protect Presidents and ex-Presidents alike, right after his predecessor, Kim Cheadle, resigned due to the agency’s failure to protect President Trump, causing the first attempted assassination. And now, this is his fall-back? It wasn’t on his official calendar!
Even a former Obama official finds that astonishing. Former Obama administration official and CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem fretted the second assassination attempt on former President Trump on Sunday will be used for political purposes in the election.
“The problem is this is a safety issue that is being thrown into a very intense political environment in which the very fact of an assassination, a constitutional moment because it could have impacted voters, will be used for political purposes," Kayyem said, reacting to the failed assassination attempt against Trump in Florida. "That to me is exceptionally unfortunate.”
Yes, it is. It is extremely unfortunate. She continues, “Whatever your beliefs are, we do deserve to have campaigns where violence is not being used as either a sword or a shield," Kayyem said, predicting that the assassination attempt will again be used as a political talking point in coming weeks.
Can any reasonable person argue with anything she says? I can’t. Nor should you, either. It makes total sense.
But for Acting Director Rowe, he will once again put his head into the sand and hopefully, it will just go away. Like he hoped after the first attempt.
Dan Bongino, a former protective agent in the Clinton, Bush and Obama presidencies, was asked his opinion after the first attempt during a Congressional hearing. I have provided the video for your review. And he is right.
When Trump becomes President, his very first order of business is to FIRE the ENTIRE Secret Service leadership and appoint Mr Bongino as Director.
