I don't want him fired, I want him impeached, with Congress taking away his pension. Let him fucking beg progressive lunatics for rent-money on GoFundMe for the rest of his miserable assassin-coddling life.

And throw him in prison for 30 years for repeatedly lying to Congress. This lying saboteur is a one-man insurrection and needs to be treated as such.

Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics with further revelations:

Just days after Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe denied playing a direct role in rejecting repeated requests for added security measures and assets for former President Trump, whistleblowers have come forward refuting those claims and blaming Rowe for some of the agency's security failures that led to the July 13 assassination attempt that nearly killed Trump and left rallygoer Corey Comperatore dead and two others wounded.

Other whistleblowers are coming forward citing more systemic problems with the Secret Service, the vaunted agency whose primary job is to protect presidents, vice presidents and former presidents and their families.

Those deep-seated long-term problems include nepotism and other non-merit-based favoritism, lowering standards and cutting corners in hiring -- including failure to pass polygraph tests and accepting past hard drug use, retaliation for voicing security and other concerns, as well as uneven disciplinary action.

Sen. Josh Hawley on Thursday sent a letter to Rowe citing "disturbing information" from at least one whistleblower citing Secret Service planning failures for the Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign event "and your own involvement."

Hawley said he had received detailed information that Rowe personally directed "significant cuts" to the Countersurveillance Division, a department that performs threat assessment evaluations of event sites before the events occur and did not perform its typical evaluation of the Butler site and was not present that day.

"This is significant because CSD's duties include evaluating potential security threats outside the security perimeter," Hawley wrote, adding that a CSD's threat assessment likely would have provided more measures to protect the rooftop of the American Glass Research building where shooter Thomas Crooks perched and opened fire on Trump and the crowd.

"The whistleblower claims that if personnel from the CSD had been present at the rally, the gunman would have been handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder," Hawley continued. "You acknowledged in your Senate testimony that the American Glass Research complex should have been included in the security perimeter for the Butler event."

The unnamed whistleblower further alleged that Rowe personally directed significant cuts to the CSD, including reducing the division's manpower by 20%, Hawley asserted. "You did not mention this in your Senate testimony when asked directly to explain manpower reductions."

Rowe also said -- in a quote that merits his firing -- that the assassination attempt was aided by the agency's (his, in other words) "failure of imagination" to imagine that there are people out there who want to kill presidents and other politically-important people.

The director of Protective Operations admitted that he did not believe that assassins even existed, and therefore took a lackadaisical attitude to the ONE FUCKING THING he's supposed to be concerned with.

You had one fucking job, as the old saying goes.

But he admits he "lacked the imagination" to think that people existed who might want to shoot a president.

And of course he refuses to resign.

Rowe specifically denied being involved in any decisions that rejected requests for added security for Trump over the course of two years, and disputed accusations that he was involved in decision-making limiting the assignment of counter sniper teams to any event not in driving distance to D.C. RealClearPolitics reported on those two accusations earlier this week, citing sources within the Secret Service community.

Whistleblowers also accused Secret Service leaders and managers of retaliating against individuals who expressed concerns about the security of Trump's events.

Obviously, organizations with nothing to hide have no need of retaliating against truth-tellers.

The flurry of anonymous accusations includes an assertion that after an event with a Trump golf tournament in August of last year Secret Service personnel present expressed "serious concern" that the agency's reliance on local law enforcement was not adequate to meet security needs because these local officers were not properly trained and "otherwise prepared" to carry out the tasks delegated to them.

"Further, Secret Service personnel expressed alarm that individuals were admitted to the event without vetting," Hawley wrote. "The whistleblower alleges that those who raised such concerns were retaliated against."

...

The senator [Josh Hawley] then moved on to grilling Rowe on reports that the agency denied repeated requests for additional security from agents charged with protecting Trump and others. Some of those requests were made in writing, several sources in the Secret Service community tell RCP. The repeated rejections for more security assets for Trump included requests for additional magnetometers, more agents to screen attendees at large rallies and outdoor events, as well as counter snipers and counter surveillance and other specialty teams.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on July 15 called those reports "unequivocally false," but Secret Service officials have since acknowledged that some denials may have occurred in certain circumstances over the last two years, although not for the July 13 Butler rally. After categorically denying the denials had occurred, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi four days later told the Washington Post that some denials may have occurred and was "reviewing documentation to understand the specific interactions better."

Under Hawley's harsh grilling, Rowe also denied RCP's reports that he was directly involved in the decision-making for the rejections of extra security for Trump.

Read the rest of the article for details about nepotism. One "legacy" hire, a son of a past agent, failed his polygraph exam, but for some reason was "retested" to make sure this ne'er-do-well got a cushy government posting.

Apparently the agency had a "failure of imagination" about people with histories of hard drug use and other highly-blackmailable pasts being hired to protect the president of the United States.

Remember, a prior whistleblower is warning that the Secret Service is incompetent and rife with corruption and he fears another assassination attempt will soon occur.

A Secret Service sniper has issued a stark warning about the likelihood of another assassination attempt on a presidential candidate before Election Day, citing critical security flaws within the agency. This alarming revelation follows the attack on former President Donald Trump, which has highlighted significant weaknesses in the Secret Service's ability to protect its principals.

"This agency NEEDS to change, if not now, WHEN? The NEXT assassination attempt in 30 days?" read the scathing letter, first published by RealClearPolitics. The sniper's letter, verified by law enforcement sources and sent to the entire Secret Service Uniformed Division, underscores the agency's failures and demands accountability.

The sniper, a Marine Corps veteran and member of the Secret Service's counter-sniper team for over 20 years, called for the resignation of high-level supervisors. The letter accused these supervisors of failing the rank-and-file Secret Service staff, stating, "Sadly we have fallen short for YEARS. We just got lucky and looked good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only supervisors ... Only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me."
