Donald Trump ought to fire the Secret Service and hire Mossad, Israel’s outstanding intelligence and special operations agency.

That way he could be relatively sure that he would not be shot at again by an unaccounted-for gunman hiding in plain sight, as happened at his outdoor rally in Butler, PA last month.

A Secret Service sniper did kill assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, but not before Crooks was able to fire eight shots at Trump, one of which grazed the former president’s ear, while another killed retired firefighter Corey Comperatore. Two others were wounded in the attempted assassination.

Since then, the hierarchy at the Secret Service has been less than forthcoming in responding to questions about who knew what when about its embarrassing breakdown in security that almost had a former—and possibly future—president killed.

While nobody has been fired, Kimberly Cheatle, the disengaged and disingenuous head of the agency resigned after refusing to answer any questions or even visit the site.

She was replaced by Acting Director Ronald Rowe who also refused to answer any meaningful questions during a Senate hearing last week or at a later press conference.

He would not even tell the Senate who oversaw the Secret Service protection detail that day, or how many agents were involved.

It has become abundantly clear that the Secret Service, by placing the blame on local police officials, is doing its best to confuse the situation if not outright withhold information from Congress and the public because the victim was Trump.

This naturally has led to speculation, without any evidence, about some sort of conspiracy.

Surely the reaction of the Biden administration and the Secret Service would have been quite different if it were Kamala Harris who was shot rather than Trump.

What is disheartening about the incident is how the Secret Service and the FBI had no prior intelligence about Crooks, or how the Secret Service failed to respond when people called out about “a man with a gun”  heading toward his perch on the roof where he had clear sight of Trump.

It was like a Keystone Cops operation.

And when you compare it to what Israeli intelligence pulled off last week in the killing of two terrorist leaders, it makes the Secret Service, the FBI and the CIA look like amateur operations.

The Israelis reacted to the Hezbollah rocket attack from Lebanon that killed 12 children and wounded scores more at a soccer match in the Golan Heights.

In a matter of two days, the Israelis in response killed senior Hezbollah Faud Shukr in Beirut, Lebanon and Ismail Haniyeh, a founding member of Hamas, in Tehran, Iran.

Not only did Israel kill them, but Israeli intelligence was able to first track them and find out where they were.

Shukr, who the Israelis blamed for the attack on the children, was taken out by an air strike at his apartment in Beirut.

He is the same man who was on the run from the U.S for his role in the 1983 truck bombing attack on a housing facility in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. Marines.

The State Department in 2017 announced a $5 million reward for information leading to his location and arrest in any country. The State Department should have asked the Mossad for help.

On the run from the U.S. for 40 years, Israeli intelligence took Shukr out in a day. Where’s the $5 million?

The next day, through a planted bomb, the Israelis killed Hamas mastermind Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran shortly after he had met with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader.

He was killed at a Tehran guest house run by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard which trains, finances and arms Iranian proxy groups like Hamas.

What is impressive about the two killings is that Israeli intelligence knew not only what cities the two men were in, but precisely where they were housed.

And U.S. intelligence could not find and stop an armed freak on a hot tin roof even after everyone else could.

I’d hire the Mossad.
