As usual there's a LOT of crap flying around in the guise of 'news',

we'll know more as it sorts out.  Of course, we'll have to consider that the feds- and much of the news- may not tell us much, especially if it doesn't fit the Preferred Narrative.

One thing's for sure: from what I've read the Trump security people have been asking for a larger force for some time, and were turned down by the Secret Service bigshots, just ran across this
It seems heads need to roll, and not just the USSS Director's.
Added: I'd forgotten, the Director of DHS oversees the USSS.  And that's our favorite "The border is secure!" asshole Mayorkas.  Probable more political bullshit?  Most likely.

And, as Insty noted, the administration denied USSS protection to Kennedy, I wonder if they'll change their minds about that?

Quoting Ensign_Nemo's remarks over at Day by Day Toons:

Nine Democrats in the House co-sponsored a bill to remove Trump’s Secret Service protection. House Resolution 8081 denies Secret Service protection to anyone convicted of a felony. It is obviously aimed at getting Trump killed. Why else would you try to remove his bodyguards?

Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the former chairman of the House Jan. 6 select committee, proposed it in April. This bill has eight more co-sponsors. If one of these people or Thompson is your Representative, then think twice about re-electing them. Otherwise, consider donating to their opponents.

Rep. Carter, Troy A. [D-LA-2]
Rep. Lee, Barbara [D-CA-12]
Rep. Wilson, Frederica S. [D-FL-24]
Rep. Clarke, Yvette D. [D-NY-9]
Rep. Watson Coleman, Bonnie [D-NJ-12]
Rep. Crockett, Jasmine [D-TX-30]
Rep. Beatty, Joyce [D-OH-3]
Rep. Cohen, Steve [D-TN-9]

DHS is a fustercluck.

The USSS needs to be put back in the Treasury Dept. where it was until 2003 and the Patriot Act idiocy, just for breathing room and separate accountability.
