The Secret Service is coming under fire for the ease with which Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to get within 150 meters of Donald Trump, the distance U.S. Army recruits must hit human-sized targets to qualify with the M-16 rifle. Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker also called out the Secret Service for poor communication and failing to get Trump out of the danger zone in rapid fashion. Those troubled by the attempted assassination should know that Secret Service incompetence and corruption are not new developments.
“The U.S. Secret Service has suspended four agents linked to two men accused of impersonating federal law enforcement officers who authorities said gave gifts worth thousands of dollars to agency personnel including one assigned to protect President Joe Biden’s wife,” explains an April 7, 2022 U.S. News story headlined “Four U.S. Secret Service Agents Suspended Over Ties to Phony Cops,” a reference to “Washington men” Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35.
According to the FBI, “Taherzadeh offered to purchase a $2,000 assault rifle for a Secret Service agent assigned to protect first lady Jill Biden and told other government officials they could have access to what he claimed were official government vehicles.” Ali told witnesses that he has “connections to the Pakistani intelligence service ISI.”
According to prosecutors, “the pair had posed as special agents since at least February 2020 and offered a variety of gifts to Secret Service members and at least one Department of Homeland Security employee including rent-free apartments valued at $40,000 a year, iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat-screen television, a case for storing an assault rifle, a generator and other law enforcement paraphernalia.” The FBI found “a loaded Glock pistol, ammunition, components from disassembled guns and sniper equipment” along with “body armor, gas masks, zip ties, handcuffs, firearm storage cases, a drone, Department of Homeland Security patches and law enforcement clothing, DHS training manuals, surveillance equipment and a binder with a list of residents in the apartment complex.”
According to the Justice Department, “Ali and Taherzadeh ingratiated themselves with employees of the U.S. Secret Service because it provided them with cover and aided in their scheme.” The pair also tried to recruit at least one person to join what they claimed as an official DHS “task force.” The pair required that the recruit “be shot with an Airsoft rifle to evaluate their pain tolerance and reaction.” Prosecutors called Taherzadeh and Ali “a serious threat to the community” and “a potential risk to national security.”
Last August, Haider Ali was sentenced to 68 months in federal prison for his role in a “fraud conspiracy.” Last December Arian Taherzadeh was sentenced to 33 months in prison for pretending to be a federal law enforcement officer to curry favor with members of the U.S. Secret Service.” The four suspended Secret Service agents were not named, which was also the case in another failure.
In 2011, gunman Oscar Ortega-Hernandez parked his car on Constitution Avenue, fired at least seven rounds at the White House with a semi-automatic rifle, and safely fled the scene. According to a CBS report, Secret Service agents responded to the sound of gunfire but were ordered to stand down. Secret Service bosses blamed the noise on construction equipment backfiring or a gang shoot-out.
The attack was not noticed until four days later when a housekeeper spotted broken glass and plaster around the Truman balcony. The president and First Lady blasted then-Secret Service director Mark Sullivan, but deputy national security advisor Antony Blinken told reporters “I know the Secret Service is on top of this and they will take every necessary step to correct any problems.”
Ortega-Hernandez was apprehended in Pennsylvania and in 2014 sentenced to 25 years in prison for terrorism and weapons offenses. That year Secret Service director Julia Pierson resigned in the wake of security breaches such as an armed man jumping the fence and gaining access to the White House. So Tony Blinken was wrong that the Secret Service would take every necessary step to correct the problems. Jump ahead ten years and Blinken is Biden’s Secretary of State, a big fan of the letter proclaiming Hunter Biden’s laptop “Russian disinformation,” which he knows is untrue.
Joe Biden’s pick for Secret Service director is Kimberly Cheatle the veteran of “a long and distinguished career at the Secret Service.” Biden came to “trust her judgement and counsel” and Cheatle “was easily the best choice to lead the agency at a critical moment for the Secret Service.” Cheatle’s Secret Service failed to prevent Thomas Matthew Crooks from firing rifle shots that wounded Donald Trump and killed rally attendee Corey Comperatore, a firefighter and family man, and critically wounded David Dutch and James Copenhaver.
In May, House Oversight and Accountability chairman James Comer wrote to Cheatle about “potential vulnerabilities within the Secret Service preventing it from fulfilling its mission to ensure the safety and security of its protectees.” The committee has now launched an investigation into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and requests Cheatle’s “voluntary appearance” at a hearing on July 22. As Trump likes to say, we’ll have to see what happens.
Don’t forget the hookers and blow party in Colombia by the SS advance team during the obambi era.
The con is on. Heads should roll. What happened is beyond a lapse. It is treacherous.
No heads will roll, none at all This is a government department and nobody ever gets fired. They might face political imprisonment like the George Floyd police officer but that is because he was a scapegoat for the establishment.
Heads won’t roll because they are all– every a-hole with a “D” by its name–complicit in the attempt to murder President Trump. That’s right, they all applaud it.
MTG has twice had cops called to her house on a felony-in-progress 911.
The leftist who phoned it in was hoping for a repeat of what happened when a cop misidentified and shot a woman during a welfare check in Fort Worth, TX.
Luckily the set-up failed.
Jan 6th was a set-up that yielded the damage intended. It took the DC cops gratuitously firing on the static crowd of patriots for half an hour until they finally (with the help of Ray Epps) got someone to breach the barriers.
So, it’s not unreasonable to think leftists in their desperation allowed the situation to ripen & take place. (Denied requests, allowing an obvious sniper’s perch to remain unguarded, jaw-dropping obstinance at a suspect being I.D.ed, etc.)
I don’t think anyone will be indicted. The current government is beyond corrupt. It’s lawless. Scum rule the Earth we breathe on.
The article notes that Ms. Kimberly Cheatle plans to grace the committee with her presence, how quaint. She may even bother to offer a cogent answer to a quesiton or two, but my money suggests she offers nothing of import.
We already know democrat appointees are held harmless and never required to resign, no matter how poorly they perform, or how badly they screw up.
Interesting to note, I watched a few minutes of Joe Bidens boarding Air Force 1, and what do you know., all the Secret Service agents were:
1. Male
2. At least as tall or taller than Joe Biden.
Gee, what happened with the illustrious DIE (excuse me DEI) hires that were suppose to counter years of systemic opression? Seems Dr. Jill would want all poor downtrodden young ladies surrounding Joe. Of course, no one will even ask her the important questions.
President Trump needs his own personal security staff.
The US Secret Service cannot be trusted … they are either corrupt or incompetent.
The US Secret Service under its leader Kim Cheatle has a new objective … DEI protocol ….
not protection …..
The head of the US Secret Service Kim Cheatle must be fired immediately and her DEI hires must also be booted out.
Biden appoints a female woke leftist DEI devoted democrat to the head of the US Secret Service.
She considers it her main responsibility as head of the Secret Service to hire and increase the number of females, gays and Trans, etc.etc.etc. as opposed to finding the toughest and smartest and bravest and most courageous to protect the former President of the USA and the 2024 Republican US Presidential nominee.
Talk about being a depraved psychopathic berserk nut job slut … Kim Cheatle Head of the US Secret. Service.
How did that 20 year old flunky, Crooks, finagle himself onto that roof – rifle
in hand – through the tight web of Secret Service protection of President
Trump? How? And why wasn’t he spotted by Secret Service once up there.
Don’t they continually scan the crowd and nearby structures, including roofs?
Why was the killer ignored by both police and the Secret Service when
several people loudly pointed him out?
Because it was an inside job to murder Donald Trump – that’s why!
By corrupt Secret Service agents? Corrupt police officers? Stand down
orders from on high? Deliberate ignoring of an already acknowledged
deadly threat? We will never know. Because if the Commie Globalists did
not try to assassinate/eliminate Trump then Biden-appointee and Secret
Service Director Kimberly Cheatle would be issuing statements resolving
to get to the bottom of the breach in Secret Service protection. Instead of
spewing excuse after asinine excuse (e.g., “the roof was sloped”) as to what
went wrong.
We The People see right through the witch hunts – the intimidation of
ordinary citizens – through all the lawfare – and through the attempted murder
of our leader Donald Trump.
While all that’s true, consider this: although they’re suppose to take their chosen profession seriously, strip away that veneer and the highfalutin rhetoric about their job description, when you get right down to the nub of the matter, they’re there because the pay and benefits are good and they get to travel.
They’re not looking to put themselves in danger and want to be healthy and hale when they cash their government paychecks.
Their fed pensions are top shelf too.
It must be nice. I could survive with government benefits like that. hell I could survive on an egg or a piece of toast a day but that’s just me. I don’t want to.
Those feds are overpaid in my opinion I fact, I think they should be fired.

Yes, it bothers me to think that SS agents were inside this particular building and no one heard someone scooting and dragging across their roof. On the job, are we??
Looks like more “under” the job to me.
Yeah, I heard the shooter lined up for 20 to 30 minutes before he took his shot. WTF? I wouldn’t want them to protect me. I could do a better job myself.
I wonder if they were Dirtbagocrats and wanted Trump to die?

Hey, man, it could be be worse.. I had a chick scream in my face at least six or seven times yesterday so loud I could feel her stinky breath on my face. And when she left my apartment she slapped me really hard and took a container of ice cream. Cheesecake strawberry. I was looking forward to eating that. She said she was taking it because I’m white and white guys don’t hit chicks. She was right about that.
Hey, I Laughed at that.
do’n’t put yourself down.

According to CoPilot, pedophile Bill Gates AI:
You
Does the US Secret Service practice DEI hiring practices?
Copilot
Yes, the U.S. Secret Service does practice Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) hiring practices. They are committed to providing all employees and applicants with a fair opportunity for employment and career advancement. This includes maintaining an environment free from discrimination, harassment, or retaliation12.
The Secret Service has established various programs to support this commitment, such as Special Emphasis Programs targeting African Americans, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Indigenous Nations, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, persons with disabilities, and disabled veterans1. They also focus on creating an inclusive environment where all employees, regardless of their background, can thrive and realize their full potential2.
I can see Hamas recruiting a transgender Palestinian of color (whom they’d otherwise waste by throwing off a roof) for a suicide mission to assassinate a politician as part of his Secret Service detail.
Sigh. LGBLTonrye+3.141618…
Dr Ben Carson said Discrimination, Exclusion, Isolation for those not in the DEI list who are actually qualified!
Pathetic state of affairs.
The FBI and SS are now a combination of the Keystone Cops and Goodfellas.
So what are you going to do about it, Mr. Objectivist Do Nothing Observer?
Not sure about him but i’m planning on copying the Dems proven plan: vote early, often, and late, in every state i can reach in a day.
But the dems will still get 100 million votes with another 100 million as back up just in case the first 100 million votes gets called into question and thrown out. (DemocRATs are persistent buggers!)
It’s called democrat election math and it’s simple:: Heads they win, tails you lose. And if you catch them in the act and complain about it, why you’re just a racist, a misogynist, xenophobic, homophobic, a hater and a mean & evil right wing Christian conservative.
That meme is so banal and warn out but it always seems to work. Especially against spineless, weak-kneed republicans (e.g. Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, etc., and RINOs.)
Let’s not leave out all the husbands/fathers who have handed over the role of “head of household” to their wives. “Soy boys” grow up to be “soy men”. Many of them are relegated to bringing home a paycheck and mowing the lawn. All else is left to their feminist wives who “beat them to within inches of their lives”. (Pink Floyd, The Wall.)
If you live in the Midwest, you can I used to live in Nebraska and could reach more than one neighbor state.!
Just like JFK the FBI solves the case in under an hour and the lone wolf is dead, no need for Jack Ruby. The most important role for law enforcement is now to ” convince ” the world he acted alone. J Edgar would be proud.
They are not only acting alone, 11-22-1963 was a coup d’etat – with television cameras and thousands of witnesses in broad daylight – eerily similar to Saturday 7-13-2024
Sham impeachments, witch hunt banana republic kangaroo court indictments and trials and now assassination attempt conspiracy with another Manchurian Candidate patsy and full cooperation with USSS and law enforcement.
Cricket Council Crime Investigation Logic
If you do a deep dive into the JFK assassination, you’ll learn that the Pentagon and the CIA had plenty of reasons to want JFK “ghosted.”
Domestically, the CIA is prohibited by charter from carrying out assassinations on US soil so the task fell to the FBI. The FBI was used because domestic assassinations and murders and making the evidence disappear was their bailiwick. It also provided Pentagon officials and the CIA with plausible deniability just in case things went sideways.
ANYONE with a modicum of COMMON SENSE sees the LIES the “Official SS Assessment” is pushing! Roof too slanted?? NO! Roof not in the SECURITY PERIMETER? INSANE!! Failure to secure PRESIDENT TRUMP when NOTIFIED of a SUSPICIOUS GUNMAN?? TOTALLY COMPLICIT!!!
The LEFT never has to pay for THEIR “mistakes” yet the RIGHT kicks people out of Congress and indicts people!
Kind of “convenient” that this happened so close to the date that the crooked “judge” in NYC is supposed to pronounce his SENTENCE for the drummed up, corrupt charges of which the “jury” convicted PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Were they HOPING that would be a MOOT POINT by this time?? I give the LEFT credit for NOTHING other than their EVILNESS and INSANITY! That’s a terrible combination!
In case you haven’t noticed, this administration uses incompetence as a cover for its complicity in misdeeds and malfeasance.
They laugh at their failures, blunders and bumbling mumbling dementia evil of Joker Joe Briben – and brush it off that all is well and we are idiots what we saw and hear is not what really happened.
Insulting our intelligence and their supporters lap it up like a dog laps up vomit . Their words are toxic lies, their actions are worse! Evil and demonic and lethal!
Yeah buddy! you said it better than I could!
IS THERE JUST ONE, YES ONE, GROUP OF PATRIOTS WILLING TO BE THE WHISTLEBLOWER that will take down the Agency they are in, whether it be the FBI, DOJ, DHS, CIA, S.S., and reveal the political corruption that has infected all these (D)epartments, starting in their take over decades ago, to now with all of them CONSPIRING in a Coup attempt against a sitting President and now a former President, OR IS IT, THERE ARE NONE SINCE THEY WERE FILTERED OUT LIKE CONSERVATIVES AT UNIVERSITIES COMPLETELY RULED BY THE FAR-LEFT?
If you research the people leading our nation and trace their past, you’ll eventually find what I found… DIRECT AND INDIRECT TIES TO A COMMUNIST PARTY USA FRONT starting during Vietnam, a more massive recruitment in the ’80s, and DIRECTLY TIED TO THE SOVIET KGB’S ACTIVE MEASURES! Their Grandchildren, children, and they themselves, are the Leaders of everything with so many FRONTS now that a Cray Computer couldn’t even keep track! ONE THING FOR SURE THOUGH, ALL HAVE TIES TO A COMMUNIST GROUP whether it be ANSWER, The Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Revolutionary Communist Party, and the CPUSA, WITH ALL LEADING TODAY’S PROTESTS and now even protesting in support of HAMAS, and yet, they are NOT labeled a Domestic Terrorist groups that WHEN, NOT IF, Jihad comes here, they will side with them over America, and that includes thousands who took THE OATH!
I have and you’re right. But some are so deceptive as to call themselves progressives.
Ronald Reason once said to the effect that the difference between a communist and an anti-communist is that a communist is someone who reads Karl Marx whereas an anti-communist is someone who understands Karl Marx.
Decades ago when I was a sophomore in college, I had to read Das Kapital for a philosophy class. And out of intellectual curiosity, I also read the Federalist Papers and later, F.A. Hayek’s book:”The Road to Serfdom.”
I think I’m astute and learned enough to know a Marxist/communist when I hear one and my friend, our government and academia is riddled with Marxists/communists or what the call themselves today “progressives.” I’m not inclined to call them progressives and instead, prefer to call them what they really are: neo-Marxists.
In today’s America, the neo-Marxists (aka, progressives) wear a democrat veneer.. Anyone who understands Marxism recognizes the fact that today’s democrat ideology is actually a modern (revamped) version of Marxism. That makes it more palatable to the unlearned masses.
Anyone who has ever done a deep dive into the JFK assassination knows that this SS lack of professionalism, is not a new thing.
JFK was certainly hit by a shot from the front that blew the back of head off. He was also hit by a shot from the rear, but not from that 6th floor window. That shot from the front that blew the back of his head open caused a spray of blood and tissue to land all over the limo’s trunk lid, all over two motorcycle cops who riding close to the rear of the limo, and all over SS agents in a follow-up car just being the two motorcycle cops. In the Zapruder film you can see Jackie Kennedy climbing out onto the trunk lid and reaching for something. She was reaching for a piece of her husband’s skull which she was still clutching when they reached the hospital. All this is clear evidence of a shot from the front, and all of it ignored and barely mentioned anywhere in the investigations. Just recently one of the SS agents who was in the follow-car wrote book describing the events of that day. He mentioned being sprayed by JFK’s blood and tissue, and he mentioned finding an expended bullet in the backseat of the lime which he deposited on a gurney. This is all mentioned as if it were irrelevant trivia. But here is the real kicker. The SS actually did a car wash on the limo while it was still outside Parkland Hospital. It’s hard to imagine a more serious example of crime scene destruction than that car wash.
BTW, Abraham Bolden was the first black SS agent. He was personally selected by JFK. Over time he became critical of the SS and its lackadaisical approach to JFK’s security. Long story short. Mr. Bolden eventually ended up in prison by the same lawfare tactics now being used against Trump to try and put him in jail.
From the moment I heard this, I knew this was a set up to assassinate Trump. The claims of incompetence defy reality. A sloped roof? The Secret Service allowed this to happen and now hide by pointing their fingers at others.
Leftists are the moles of Marxism that have thoroughly infiltrated the federal and local governments and all forms of our nation’s security.
As I remarked in another article, Trump must hire his own special force of protectors. Given another advantageous “sloped roof” opportunity…..hum, you do the math!!
Also FBI, CIA and the Secret Service are spending time in the gamer community communication platform Discord. They are watching and profiling….let’s find those young, male, alienated loners, attracted to the violence and in need of a friend or two; someone easily exploitable and easily swayed.
Think this isn’t deliberate? Think again!!
Likely, if true, it was upper management that set it up.
This assertion that the sloped roof was considered too high risk for Security Service operatives.
WHERE IS THE RISK ASSESSMENT?
WHO SIGNED IT?
SHOW US THE PAPERWORK, SO WE KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DECISION.
Why then were the govt snipers who shot the kid allowed on a roof with, obviously, more slope? Riddle me that, Ratgirl.
Give it time. The reason[s] for this SS screwed up is still evolving. They’re in the process of concocting a “fairy tale” that the political leaders (they know the truth) can sell to the American people and quiet the outrage.
Like past presidents, Trump would be wise to get himself a dog when he moves back into the white house. It’s the only loyal and trustworthy friend he will have.
Think their will be serious questions that will arise about some Biden Presidency decision making process, the Supreme Court has held and indicated that Presidents are protected while holding their post making decisions expected of that office but those many decisions made that are not protected like those that do not quality or reflect their professional protection on matters that are outside the duty of office will not be protected and will subject to the laws of the land. Seems there have been questions not answered the Biden administration or it’s loss or avoided or refusal to answer, which makes me wonder just how many lawsuits will follow the Biden decisions making process because of personal bias that seem to have surfaced concerning personal financial gain of the Biden family and friends. Once the current buffers are gone who is to say what will happen?
Strange thing about this, I said a long time ago, that it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they were going to try and kill the man at some point, all things considered, as they in noway were just going to let go of their grip on power. That being said, I also have been saying for a good while now, that I have been expecting something to happen, and there are several variables in play that can cause this, that would give the current illegal government the ability to impost Martial Law, which in turn would allow them to be able to suspend elections.
Some of those possible things are an economic collapse, coordinated terrorist attack inside the country, which we have been getting constant warnings of (gee, I wonder why?), there is a laundry list, I could go on…
But I ran into a post someone posted on a link to a news article, and he said that there was a second shooter, and that the kid was just a diversion, like Oswald, but the real one was a good sniper, and might have even been a part of Trumps protection detail. The idea being, get Trump, and the base would go nuts, start a civil war, and they would have the excuse they needed for Martial Law.
Well, that certainly would be one way to do it. And it would get the man out of their way as well. I also note they tried to make the kid look like he was a Republican, but those pesky records of him donating money to Act Blue got in the way. Can’t trust a Democrat to do anything right, they will get in their own way every single time, and that’s why they keep getting caught. Those pesky little details…
In Maryland you can only vote in the primaries for which you are registered. I heard it’s the same in Pa. This does not apply in the general election. It’s no secret one can register with the opposing so they can try to influence who the general election candidate will be. In other words, the Democrat registers as Republican to vote in the primary for anyone but Trump in hopes he will not win. They can then vote for the Democrat in the general election.
Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35? Astounding.
What a bunch of clowns!
DT should give Ant Middleton a call and get some ex-SAS guys over to run his security detail.
Dear President Trump,
Let Dan Bongino help you assemble a top notch security detail that you will privately pay for to protect you. I would not trust your enemies to protect you.
Who is paying attention to this.?
