The U.S. Secret Service is the agency assigned to protect government officials, specifically the president, vice president and others.

The operatives also investigate some crimes, such as certain financial malfeasances, but it is known for its agents who protect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris – and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

It took only a fraction of a second on Saturday for that assignment to blow up in their faces, as millions of Americans watched as a sniper tried to shoot Trump, and injured him, during a campaign rally.

That near-catastrophic failure is going to reverberate for that government team now for a long time.

Was it the “diversity” demands imposed by leftists in the Secret Service bureaucracy that somehow failed Trump?

Was it a leftist ideology that diverted agents from Trump’s detail to another, for Jill Biden?

Was it a failure to communicate and coordinate with local police, who often assist the Secret Service’s security efforts?

Was it the fault of a leftist, and threatening, agenda to deprive Trump, deliberately, of protection.

And critically, what changes will be made so that another situation does not develop, and turn deadly?

Former Secret Service officer Dan Bongino took virtually no time at all to blast the agency for failing.

He said it was Donald Trump who actually saved Donald Trump’s life, and demanded the Secret Service chief leave.
