The Secret Service has suspended six agents over failures
during President Donald Trump's assassination attempt in
Pennsylvania last year.
The then-presidential candidate was holding a rally in Butler
on July 13, 2024, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks
opened fire.
One shot narrowly missed Trump and grazed his ear, while a
firefighter who attended the rally, Corey Comperatore, was
shot dead.
The shooter was quickly taken out by Secret Service
counter-snipers as agents rushed Trump to safety.
But in the aftermath, the agency was hounded with questions
about security failures and Director Kimberly Cheatle was
forced to resign.
Now it has emerged that six agents have since been suspended
for their actions that day, ABC News confirmed.
Those who were suspended ranged from supervisors to line
agents, and they all had the right to appeal their suspensions,
which ranged from 10 to 42 days without pay or benefits,
according to CBS News.
'We are laser focused on fixing the root cause of the
problem,' Matt Quinn, the Secret Service deputy director
told CBS.

Frankly, I *suspect* it was the lefty Deep State
behind it all ... days before the GOP convention,
a clear neo-com coup attempt. Alas we'll never be
able to PROVE it for 100 years.
The SS ... security WAS too lax - but was this
"arranged" by higher-up actors ? Individual
agents may NOT be the fault here, just people
who were played, puppets. The perp got way WAY
too close WAY too easily. "Security" was a fuckin'
sieve. THAT took 'engineering'.
Trump, clearly, has a seriously vested interest
in finding out what went wrong and why. Comey
and Brennan are now under criminal investigation,
but THAT sort of info will NEVER be revealed.
There's 'consumer politics' and then realpolitik,
that's been the case since before Machiavelli.
