JUST IN: USSS Agent In Charge Of Trump Rally Security Under Investigation For STUNNING Misstep

Security lapses, improper fraternization, backbiting, and sleeping on the job are among the problems plaguing a dysfunctional Secret Service protection detail around former President Trump, according to a new report.

A top-down review of the 60-member team by agency brass is zeroing in on missteps by a particular agent who helped formulate the protective measures around Trump on the day of an assassination attempt that nearly took his life. According to RealClearPolitics, Secret Service leadership has uncovered that the individual has been compromising the Republican’s security by posting otherwise innocuous messages on social media that it says compromised Trump’s whereabouts. The revelation comes as part of an internal review that lays bare a broken system that failed the former president on July 13th.

An RCP analysis of the agent’s Facebook history shows images of what appears to be Mar-a-Lago and a Florida sunset. The agent wrote, “A sunset to be grateful for …” adding heart and sunset emojis and the hashtags “#nofilter #southflorida #thankful #workmode …”. Sources told the outlet that most of the agent’s messages, including some with videos, were posted to her Instagram account, which was private. The agent is believed to be among the least experienced within President Trump’s detail for staging the July 13th rally, and some sources fear that Acting Director Robert Rowe will fire them for the social media posts rather than the critical security lapses that occurred that day. The individual had decades of agency experience, the outlet added, but virtually none within the innermost protective ring around current and former presidents.

Sources explained that the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania served as a wake-up call to their colleagues. “Some agents have referred to it as their 9/11 moment where people are opting back onto the detail,” a Secret Service source said. “Morale is high, people are motivated. These agents [protecting Trump] are stiff-jawed with steel in their spine.”

In the lead-up to the Butler rally, the agent compromising themself on social media was responsible for helping formulate an overall plan for the perimeter of the rally where the gunman positioned himself, however, they were mostly focused on the perimeter. She joined the force’s lead site agent while they conducted walkthroughs of security with supervisors; the lead is typically the agent who manages all aspects of a president’s event from touchdown of their aircraft to putting him back on the road or into the sky.

Signs of corrosion within Trump’s detail were plainly evident before Butler, sources added. On May 15th, the two agents in charge of President Trump’s 60-member team dressed everyone down in a virtual meeting where they cited instances of “rumors, innuendo and toxicity” among the detail, as well as “selfishness and immaturity.” Lead agent Sean Curran and his deputy Matthew Piant reminded their team that they had refrained from recommending punishment to any members by higher leadership, even for childish pranks that were compromising Trump’s safety. Among them: the sharing of photographs showing Mar-a-Lago agents sleeping on the job. Piant accused the responsible agents of “humor and gossip” at the expense of professionalism and that they should have simply nudged their colleagues awake.

The pranks, Piant added, amounted to a “lack of basic human decency” that was drawing attention from Secret Service leadership “at the highest levels.” Ultimately, no one was referred for punishment and, to the knowledge of sources, the agents who fell asleep on their assignments were never formally punished.
