Dan Bongino: Secret Service Deputy Director Concerned Agents' Red Ties Would Imply Supporting Trump

Posted • August 27, 2024: Yesterday, former Secret Service agent and popular radio and podcast host Dan Bongino appeared before an investigative panel about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. To be clear, this was not a formal Congressional hearing, even though Reps. Chip Roy, Eli Crane, Cory Mills, Andy Biggs, and Matt Gaetz participated. As you can see in the video below, it was held at The Heritage Foundation, not in the U.S. Capitol. But that shouldn't distract from the fact that, in four minutes, Bongino calmly but decidedly laid waste to the institutional problems plaguing the Secret Service. Problems which, in his educated opinion, led directly to the assassination attempt. This morning, Bongino posted his opening statement on Twitter through his Bongino Report account. 🔥🔥🔥 Dan Bongino GOES OFF at Trump assassination attempt forum: "A 20-year-old criminal outsmarted them on a $40 drone device… that's disgusting!"

While not raising his voice even a decibel, Bongino excoriates the Secret Service's problems of outdated technology ('yesterday's technology tomorrow'), misapplication of ever-increasing funding ('less with more'), and mission creep ('counterfeiting is not what we do now'). As he said when he began, he wasn't about to waste any time. It was, in his words, 'an apocalyptic security failure.' And speaking of that 'less with more' problem,' it sure seems like Bongino is correct and the Secret Service isn't applying its funding where it should go. "This is the kind of stuff the Secret Service was actually wasting their time with while withholding CSU counter surveillance assets and counter-sniper assets from probably the most threatened man on earth. If you can explain it, good luck, because that’s not the agency I worked for." Dan Bongino on the attempted assassination of President Trump. (…)
