Wow. Just wow. The Deep State exists … and it’s GQP!

They’re sworn to protect national security and protecting POTUS and FLOTUS. Instead, they’re taking care of their own (corrupt assh0les.) U.S.S.S. should have let the Postal Inspectors in on the take!

I.G. dismissal of complaint - “nothing to see here” won’t suffice.

Thank you for your Secret Service!

Before federal agents stormed a luxury apartment building in D.C. last week, the suspects accused of impersonating federal agents already knew they were under investigation.

They had been tipped off by the Secret Service two days earlier.

Heads. Need. To. Roll.

the Secret Service investigator emailed “communications@ussp.us”- an email account associated with U.S. Special Police, the company that Taherzadeh registered and allegedly used to masquerade as an officer in the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations Unit

What was said in the email? A knock knock joke?

Crazy story

It’s possible we have a problem in the current Secret Service but let’s keep an eye on that and keep accumulating more data or something

Seems like that whole infiltrating/ingratiating themselves with the Secret Service worked out pretty well for them :unamused:

That’s in addition to the long list of items already seized including guns, ammo, body armor, surveillance gear, forced entry tools like a sledgehammer and mini-door ram, fake training certificates, fake badges, gas masks, tactical gear, hard drivers, servers, a drone, training manuals from the Department of Homeland Security and Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and a binder with a list of every resident at the Crossings, a building popular with law enforcement families.

Probably nothing that Merrick Garland can do here either … The problem is just not oriented for him to fix it. It’s Treasury, not DOJ. Be patient, these things take months and years to investigate. Just because you don’t SEE anybody working on this problem isn’t proof that the problem isn’t being fixed. How do you expect the cops to do their job, if they can’t lie in court.

Blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah.

Whoever tipped them off needs to be FIRED – like yesterday.

This is a real problem when there are so many games of whack-a-mole going on, you’re running out of bats.

Seems like this might be a good way to root out the trumpy types in the SS. The guys taking the free apartments and the tipster seem to fit that grifter type profile.
:rofl:

  1. Always look under
    I’d add a coda: always look up. I read a grate mystery once where killer hid the dead body on the roof, behind a dormer window.

The problem with the Secret Service is that it is very bad.

Well they don’t really have that much to do.

It’s not widely known, but the Secret Service outsources the training of their agents to Mack Sennett Security Services.

Of course not, they are sooo patriotic and selfless… and I mean the whole bunch of whore-mongering thugs.

I would like to add that the tame attitude of AG Garland helps those corrupt judges undermine our democracy.

In the 80s I was working at the VA but had to go to the Old Executive Office Building on a regular basis. Of course, this was pre 9/11 when everything changed, but it was well known that the USSS had some offices in that building and that’s where its agents would go to do a line of coke, or two, or three, while on duty. In my experience, they have always been riddled with guys thinking they are in a James Bond movie, but never clear whose side they are on.
