"SNIP.......

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that as rioters raged inside the Capitol on January 6, she was concerned about the Secret Service’s treatment of then-Vice President Mike Pence, Politico reports.

Said Pelosi: “I myself wondered if he could trust the Secret Service to take him to a safe place. I don’t know.”

Her comments were echoed by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL): “There is something going on at the Secret Service, either pure incompetence, all the way on the scale to potentially very criminal activity … or just having a preference for one side or the other.”

1. Kind of John Le Carre spy thriller.

2. That is VERY scary n/t

[calimary]

15. You can say THAT again.

3. The FBI is pro Orange Fuhrer to the extreme too,...

.... these LEOs worship them some Donald. They think he is the macho reincarnation of Jesus. Tough guy billionaire who always lands the chick then dumps her for a younger one. Just what Jesus would condone.

4. Showing political preference

is criminal negligence of a sworn oath. Identify them, prosecute them, lock them away for a very long time

5. Apparently they fancied themselves Trump's Praetorian Guard.

I hope this and other federal organizations are being cleaned out quietly. Fascists are like cancer. If left, they fester and eventually kill. They must be ruthlessly cut out root and branch.

19. Impossible to clean out any federal agency quietly.

We would know about it.

6. There was an article yesterday about how Trump charged the Secret Service exorbitant rates for

rooms needed to protect him. I’ve wondered whether Trump swayed agents to his side by wining and dining them and giving them a taste of the rich life with luxury hotel rooms and stays at his golf resorts. Not exactly tough duty.

13. Trump figured the SS saved a lot of money on hookers down in Columbia, so they could afford it.

Maybe they promised to help some get green cards too.

20. I even wondered if some of that money found its way into the pockets

of the agents who exhibited the most loyalty to him.

7. IMO the criminality is quite obvious. The erased phones tell it all, as it were.

[Cozmo]

8. Secret Service was happy to pay exorbitant rates at trump hotels and continue to do so still

[panader0]

9. The tax payer pays those bills.

10. K&R.

11. ...

12. I think

many of them should be investigated. I think Wray should be too.

14. Joe's dog knew for sure,,,

[rubbersole]

16. Yes he did.

Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Yes you are, yes you are...

[Lars39]

17. So what's the timeline?

Did Pence say “I’m not getting in that car” first, or did Pelosi talk to Pence first, telling him not to tell anyone where he was?
Did Pelosi save Pence?

18. There are some Criston Coles on the Secret Service. n/t
