The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval
Representative Crane says he has received information that Thomas Crook’s house was scrubbed, cleaned and even silverware removed, prior to the investigative units arriving. [More]

During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community. [More]
Now I want to see her try to stuff it back into the “holster” in a panic…

We’re the Only Ones Disputing Enough
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.

Backstage Pass
Why was he allowed to go on stage until the “potential threat” was cleared?
The director resigning can’t be the end of this, not if they expect suspicions to be quelled.

‘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?

The Forbidden Zone
The current “free speech zone” for the convention is in Pere Lafayette Park, a mere quarter of a mile from the convention venue. By comparison, the Democrats in Chicago have set up a free speech zone about three miles from the United Center where the convention will be held. [More]
