Notes from the Resistance
Grassley: Local law enforcement are disputing claims that the Secret Service assigned them to cover the rooftop where a would-be assassin fired at former President Donald Trump during a Pennsylvania campaign rally in July. [More]
I hope Grassley’s keeping tabs on retaliation for that.
Of course, if Republicans blow November, there’ll be nothing to stop it.

‘You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within, what looked like a couple hundred yards if that [of the president]. You can’t get in that position with a gun when there’s a president speaking. ‘It cannot be done,’ Alexander insisted.
A fair question: If there was a conspiracy, do those behind it have more power than those investigating?

Secret Service destroyed video of Biden’s dog Commander biting agent in brutal attack that forced White House to stop tours so blood could be wiped off the floor… The Secret Service’s Freedom of Information Act Officer Kevin Tyrrell wrote to DailyMail.com in a letter Friday that ‘Due to Secret Service retention standards, the above mentioned file(s) has been destroyed.’ [More]
Wait a sec…Commander attacked the agent in June 2023…?
What are the Secret Service’s records retention “standards”?
Are they different from three years? Did anybody get a copy of the policy and see who authorized it and when? Are there records of who authorized (ordered) the destruction, and did it come before or after the FOIA request?
Kevin Tyrell, eh? Should I be worrying about that affidavit he sent me swearing they had no info on agancy involvement with the Hunter Biden gun incident?

Herczeg showed up at the terminal and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it, according to two sources familiar with the matter… But Herczeg’s bizarre behavior didn’t stop.

What’s amazing is that routine testing systems aren’t in place to identify emotional issues for those responsible for the protection of top officials and how vulnerable that leaves them– or maybe someone does know and that’s the way they want it.

To sum up: A Secret Service agent who was fast-tracked through the vetting process due to the color of his skin or his sexuality or some other identity group had a mental breakdown and started punching the commanding officer before his fellow agents restrained him and wrestled away his gun. [More]

Anybody see him ID’d anywhere?

My guess is that potentially one or more of the three perpetrators either brandished a weapon or holding some type of weapon that may have been used as a weapon and the agent felt in danger of his life and or his partner’s in and around the area. [More]
Then why wouldn’t that be their main talking point from the start?
Also, I’d tell Genius here that feds aren’t exempt from the laws where they are, but he’s a perpetual troll, and we know what makes them tick, so it’s best not to reward him with feedback. It is revealing though, that he defends such lethal force against citizens. What a sad life, to have nothing better to do with it.
What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]

I notice they’re still beating the Secret Service cover-up drum.
I sure wish House Oversight would compel some testimony to find out if the affidavit denying their involvement that the Secret Service sent me to get my complaint dropped is a smoking gun that can bring administration people down, or if saying they were is just an allegation Republicans can still wring some political mileage out of.
Because there’s no third choice.
There’s a way to the truth if anyone’s interested.
