Or at least no one beyond the Jill Biden appointed ‘director’ who became a convenient scapegoat.
I doubt anyone is surprised to hear that an arm of the government failed in its most fundamental mission, promised accountability, and solved the problem by issuing a ‘report’.
And that’s exactly the approach that the Secret Service took.
The Secret Service said Friday it has carried out multiple reforms since the July 13 assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and signaled that the agency has not dismissed any agents for the security failures that day, according to a copy of a final internal report to be sent to Congress and other agencies.
There’ll be accountability, the Secret Service promises, without actually delivering any accountability.
The report said it had identified “several instances of behaviors and acts by multiple employees that warrant review for corrective counseling and, potentially, disciplinary action,” and that they would be provided due process under the law.
“All individuals found in violation of policies will be held accountable,” the report said.
…Ronald L. Rowe, Jr., is now acting director and he has asked for additional funding and pledged to reform the agency.
Uh-huh.
The House issued a much more devastating report and there have been other reports to which Rowe responded by asking for a safe space.
The acting director of the Secret Service said Thursday he was concerned about the morale of his overworked agents, as he addressed an independent review that called for “fundamental reform” within the agency to prevent assassination attempts like the one in July that injured former President Donald Trump.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Ronald Rowe Jr. said he worried about the health and wellness of “demoralized” Secret Service agents who are being pushed to the brink and working long hours amid operational and policy changes.
“We are redlining our people,” Rowe said. “We are asking them to do extraordinary things right now.”
We’re asking them to do their jobs which are a whole lot less difficult than the jobs of front-line combat troops, beat cops in dangerous cities or a variety of other security and military personnel.
In a separate written statement, Rowe said the agency was developing a “comprehensive” plan aimed at “driving a fundamental transformation” within the Secret Service. He said the plan focuses on increasing and retaining the agency’s personnel, modernizing technology and building a training plan.
So the fundamental transformation is going to be more of the same. Watch our PowerPoint presentation, increase our budget and watch as things grow even worse.
