Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service Agent, exposed the culture of corruption within the Secret Service.
Last month, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Secret Service failed to protect President Trump.
A bullet grazed the President’s ear after a gunman named Thomas Crooks managed to evade state, local, and federal agents, climbed onto a roof, and fired eight shots at Trump and the rally attendees.
Thomas Crooks was able to do the following on July 13:
- Flew a drone over the Pennsylvania fairgrounds and got aerial footage of the rally layout on the day of the event – including 2 hours before Trump took the stage.
- Got a range finder through security.
- Evaded law enforcement officers from several different state, local and federal agencies.
- Somehow ‘climbed’ up on a roof with his rifle 450 feet away from Trump, bear crawled to the perfect vantage point as bystanders alerted police and was still able to take 8 shots at Trump.
- Parked a vehicle full of explosives near the Trump rally
- Crooks was able to walk around the premises after Snipers took a photo of him looking suspicious.
- A sniper located in the second story window was only 40 feet away from Crooks and didn’t neutralize him.
- Trump was still able to take the stage after Crooks was pegged as suspicious by Secret Service.
Bongino recounted a story about the time he and another Secret Service agent, currently assigned to Trump’s detail, raised concerns about a suspicious Russian woman who had been hired at the US embassy in Moscow in 2004.
According to Bongino, she had been asking an unusual number of questions about the Secret Service’s operations.
Upon reporting this to Secret Service leadership in DC via email, Bongino was told to keep quiet. It later emerged that the woman, whom Bongino referred to as “Anna,” was indeed a Russian spy. The Secret Service only discovered her true identity in 2018.
A counter sniper recently supported Dan Bongino’s assertions about the Secret Service’s corrupt CYA (Cover Your Ass) culture.
In an email, the counter sniper expressed concerns about the agency’s failure to protect President Trump on July 13 and warned that another assassination attempt should be anticipated before November.
As a result, the counter sniper expressed disappointment in the leadership and stated that their pride in being a USSS counter sniper has diminished.
“This agency NEEDS to change,” the sniper wrote in the email obtained by RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree. “If not now, WHEN? “The NEXT assassination in 30 days?”
“Sadly we have fallen short for YEARS,” the counter sniper wrote. “We just look good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only supervisors (to include the current Captain of CS, but those responsible for training us (SOTS/CS). Only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me.”
“The team I was once proud to be a part of, is something I have to somehow hide as I move into my next career,” the counter sniper continued. “Who wants to hire a USSS CS guy who failed? That’s the public perception I’m not faced with. The USSS CS team is a stain I will never be able to cleanse.”
“The motto of the USSS…CYA. And every supervisor is doing it right now.”
🚨🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: A Secret Service counter sniper sent an email Monday night to the entire Uniformed Division (not agents) saying he will not stop speaking out until "5 high-level supervisors (1 down) are either fired or removed from their current positions."
