Uh Oh: Whistleblowers Tell Josh Hawley Secret Service Agents 'Woefully Unprepared' to Protect Candidates



Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri appeared on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” and delivered some bombshell news: whistleblowers have told him that the Secret Service is “woefully unprepared” to protect candidates, and they’re taught by webinars on “Microsoft Teams”—and most of the law enforcement personnel at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July where Donald Trump narrowly escaped death from a sniper’s bullet weren’t even Secret Service. They were DHS officers:

Hawley appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday night to reveal whistleblowers’ claims that when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents were reassigned to work on the protective details, they were given a single two-hour webinar on Microsoft Teams.

The videos were pre-recorded, with whistleblowers allegedly saying that the videos were riddled with technical mishaps.

“Imagine 1,000 people logging onto Microsoft Teams at the same time after being informed at the last minute that everyone needed to login individually,” one whistleblower told Hawley. 

Once it got rolling, the Secret Service instructor couldn’t figure out how to get the audio working on the prerecorded videos [which I’m told are the same videos as last year]. All told, they restarted the videos approximately six times …. The content was not helpful.”

But the Missouri senator had plenty more bad news about the state of our Secret Service. The once-vaunted force sounds like it’s simply not up to the job.

“This is a nightmare, the only reason we know about this stuff is because of whistleblowers,” Hawley said…

“The site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be, frankly, incompetent at their job,” Hawley previously said in an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “I’m also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.”

“She was not checking people’s IDs. She did not use Secret Service agents,” Hawley added. “Most of the agents there that day were not Secret Service agents. They were Homeland Security agents.”

He sent a letter Tuesday to the ever-vacationing Department of Homeland Security demanding answers:

The failures of the Secret Service in this episode are deeply troubling, especially after we’ve seen the historical trauma inflicted upon the nation by previous assassinations such as those of JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. We spend trillions on things like the “Inflation Reduction Act,” yet the Secret Service seems like a forgotten illegitimate step-brother.

I remember as a kid watching shows like “The F.B.I.,” “S.W.A.T.,” and “Dragnet.” I idolized those crime fighters, and a little later in life, I came to believe the Secret Service was an elite agency as well, despite their failure to stop Reagan’s would-be assassin John Hinckley. But as the saying goes, progressives ruin everything, and they appear to have ruined the Secret Service—at least when Donald Trump is involved.
