    Remember this?

    Joe Biden is expected to receive Secret Service protection with a new team that is more familiar to him and replacing some agents amid concerns that they may be politically allied with Donald Trump.

    Or this?

    “The Department notified us that many U.S. Secret Service (USSS) text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, were erased as part of a device-replacement program,” Inspector General Joseph Cuffari wrote to top members of congressional Homeland Security committees. “The USSS erased those messages after OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of the events at the Capitol on January 6.”

    Agents assigned to Biden were replaced because of questionable loyalty and the USSS actually destroyed evidence after the OIG requested the records for their Jan-6 investigation. It appears that MAGA has penetrated frighteningly far into the Secret Service. What do you think the odds are that any of agents assigned to protect Trump aren’t absolute MAGA zealots?
