We just filed a lawsuit that we announced about an agent who evidently went out of control who, at the time, was on the personal protective detail of Vice President Kamala Harris. And then you’ve got, like, the sort of basic, do they even know how to keep unbalanced people out of the Secret Service? So, as I say, we do all this other, you know, we’ve been looking at the Secret Service for some time, and we just filed a lawsuit that we announced about an agent who evidently went out of control who, at the time, was on the personal protective detail of Vice President Kamala Harris.

We filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, which is the agency that houses the Secret Service, for records related to an incident at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in which a Secret Service agent assigned to protect Harris reportedly got into a scuffle with colleagues. Here’s what it is. According to an April 24th report by the Washington Examiner, a Secret Service agent was removed from her duties after physically attacking the commanding agent in charge and other agents who tried to subdue her. Think about that. I mean, how did that agent get to the position? Was this the first time she did anything weird? I doubt it.

I doubt it. A later report states the agents involved in restraining Michelle Herk-Zeg, that’s the alleged assailant, were especially concerned because he still had her gun in her holster, at least. That was a positive. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal. And the reporting following up was Secret Service agents and officers are privately questioning, again, the hiring process and whether the agency adequately screened Herk-Zeg, her background. Some also wonder whether her hire was part of a diversity, equity, and inclusion push in response to years of staff shortages that may have required an agency to lower its one strict employment standards and physical performance to reach quotas for female agents and officers.

So what this story is telling you is that the Secret Service community, they know what’s going on, and they’re concerned about what I just said. So I’m on the outside looking in. I’ve been doing government investigations for nearly 30 years. I know what to look for. I see the documents on the Internet from the Secret Service’s website. I’ve been doing this too long to pretend that it doesn’t mean what it actually suggests, that they’re lowering standards in order to achieve diversity. And they’re hiding the records. We asked for this stuff back in April. We basically want for the records related to the incident.

We go through all the names of the people involved. Training and disciplinary records of the agent at issue. And all Secret Service and DHS, Department of Homeland Security, policy documents related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the hiring, employment, training, and discipline of Secret Service agents. So on the one hand, you’ve got this issue of a complete cap collapse in the Secret Service, where someone, a shooter, 138 yards away. I think that was the length. I mean, according to experts, snipers, and people who’ve had law enforcement and military training, you don’t need to be a sniper to take someone out from 138 yards away.

I mean, there are scopes available, obviously, to make it easier. But the military doesn’t train snipers at 138 yards. Obviously, they do, but you know what I mean. They train much further out. I mean, that standard firearms training is, I think, 200 yards. You should be able to shoot without a sniper scope. It’s incredible. So you’ve got that complete failure of the security system at the Secret Service, which, by the way, has a $3 billion budget, $3 billion budget. As I said earlier this week, that essentially is an infinite budget for protection. Now, not all of it goes to protection, but some of the detail is how much is spent on protection.

My guess is classified and probably should be. But it’s monopoly money at that point. They can spend anything they need, practically speaking, to defend their protecties. And it’s not just the presidents and former presidents. In the case of the current presidents, their families, in the case of presidential personnel, excuse me, presidential candidates, it’s usually their families as well. They finally gave protection to RFK. We’ve highlighted the corruption there, where Meyer Orkus, the head of the DHS, personally denied Kennedy protection. His father had been killed. His uncle had been assassinated. His father, Robert F.

Kennedy, his uncle, the former president of the United States, JFK, was murdered, and they denied him Secret Service protection. He’s running for president. And it’s only after this near-death experience of Trump do they back off and retract the vicious, nasty, vindictive decision to deny him protection, even though they knew he was facing significant security risks. Prior to the altercation, Herzeg reportedly arrived at Joint Base Andrews and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it, according to two sources familiar with the Let Matter. The other agent, a shift leader, was able to recover his phone and then acted if nothing had happened.

So she was acting crazy, and people around her kind of gave her the benefit of the doubt initially. Well, what an awful situation. And as I say in the press release about this lawsuit, the catastrophic security failure behind the attempted assassination of former President Trump shows how the management and quality of Secret Service personnel are urgent issues. Secret Service’s illicit cover-up of these documents about the Kamala Harris Protective Detail Incident is not reassuring, I’d say. So, say a prayer Thanksgiving that President Trump is alive, that more people weren’t killed or injured. Say prayers for the family of that hero who saved his family and died and was killed doing that.

Say your prayers for those injured, and not everyone who was injured was shot because people get injured in a traumatic way as a result of being in an incident like that. And of course, the whole country is traumatized by something like that. And I’ve got to say, on the behavior of President Trump, he’s a hero. That was an American hero in the way he reacted. And this is not a political comment. It’s a straightforward comment about seeing a citizen who, in extreme circumstances, responded in the best possible way to reassure the public. Let’s show that picture of him with the flag, the one where he’s…

Oh, there, there. It was a version of that, the fight, fight, fight. Great, just great stuff. And of course, you have that iconic photo of the flag. And of course, the crowd around him, you know, they reacted quite sensibly. They didn’t panic. So, you know, the president has said it’s by the grace of God. I think God’s grace was all over that place, right? Because people could have been injured and otherwise hurt in a panic, stampede or something else, after the shots took out. You know, these were 10 shots or so. And they did not panic, and everyone kept their heads about them.

And this leads me to the next situation. I mean, because this is a crisis. The president was nearly assassinated. The Secret Service that has been years, decades, supposed to be protecting presidents, has been highlighted to be a failure and incapable of doing so. And so there are people who might take advantage of it. So it’s a crisis. There’s a security crisis right now related to Secret Service. [tr:trw].
