EXCLUSIVE AND #BREAKING: The real story behind the six Secret Service suspensions over Butler failures:
Key supervisors who signed off on the Butler security plan and two who
were on the final walkthroughs before the J13 rally were never disciplined
but instead received BIG PROMOTIONS, multiple sources in the Secret
Service community tell RealClearPolitics @RCPolitics.
One of those supervisors on the final walkthroughs, Nick Menster, was
assigned this year as the No. 2 in charge of the Lara and Eric Trump
protective detail. The other, Nick Olszewski, ironically, became the chief (special agent in charge) of the Inspection Division, which is responsible
for ensuring the accountability and integrity of the agency’s personnel
and operations.
Inexperienced agents positioned for failure and a more senior agent who
spoke out about the ambiguity about the AGR roof coverage, according to
Secret Service sources and Congressional testimony, are taking the fall.
Rank-and-file agents are incensed over the decision not to hold the
supervisors accountable, further sinking the low morale and exacerbating retention problems throughout the agency. Secret Service Director Sean
Curran was in charge of the Donald Trump detail at the time of the rally,
and Menster served under his command.
Another big point – multiple Secret Service sources tell me that the
original Secret Service disciplinary recommendations varied but maxed out
at 52 days without pay. However, lawyers for the agents were able to scale
that discipline down to 10 to 42 days without pay. This is a relatively
light punishment for such egregious failures, but the fact that some of
these agents didn’t receive the supervisory oversight that an outdoor
rally of this magnitude required is likely a mitigating factor. If so,
that begs the question of why key supervisors appear to have skated.
The agents being suspended may still decide to sue the agency.
“We avoided more severe sanctions, and now we’re assessing the next steps
with respect to these discussions,” said Larry Berger, an attorney for
several of the suspended agents who previously has served as a general
counsel for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. Berger now
has his own firm, Berger and Deplas.
Three of the six who are taking the fall (unpaid suspension) are:
Myotsoty Perez – an inexperienced agent (according to Congressional
testimony, which did not name her) who was the “site agent” in charge of
the security for the rally. She was part of the regular Donald Trump
detail and was not chosen for the big outdoor J13 rally, but simply had
her “rotation” come up, according to multiple Secret Service sources.
Meredith Bank – a far more experienced agent out of the Pittsburgh Field
Office who was serving as the “lead agent” for the day of the rally – overseeing operations from the time then-candidate Trump arrived at the
airport to the final departure. She told Congressional investigators that
she informed Perez that her supervisor, Nick Menster, would be asking her
where the local law enforcement were to be positioned in/on the AGR
building. Menster, however, never specifically asked that question,
according to the Congressional transcripts.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
