🚨🚨EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING: SECRET SERVICE ACCUSED OF FAILING TO RESPOND TO 'INSIDER-THREAT' COMPLAINTS

AGENCY HIRED APPLICANT WHO FAILED TERRORISM SECTION OF POLYGRAPH TEST AND NOW ALLOWS HIM TO EVALUATE OTHERS' SECURITY CLEARANCES, WHISTLEBLOWER ALLEGES

The Secret Service never investigated internal reports of an insider threat to the agency and separately allowed an applicant who failed the polygraph terrorism section to be hired and serve in a position evaluating security clearances for fellow agents, according to a former agent whistleblower who has reported his complaints to Congress.

The former senior agent, who served in a supervisory role when he reported the suspected insider threat during the Biden administration, also raised concerns about the agency’s failure to implement a mental health screening test for applicants. (The FBI, the CIA, and numerous police departments around the country require mental-health screening tests for all applicants.) ...

In addition to the suspected insider-threat complaint, multiple Secret Service sources point to a separate incident with insider-threat implications. During the Biden administration, an applicant failed the foreign terrorism section of a polygraph test used for evaluating applicants for hire. Yet, nothing happened to the applicant.

In fact, the individual is employed with the security clearance division of the Secret Service and adjudicates other applicants for security clearances, according to multiple sources with first-hand information about the case.

Failing polygraphs are usually disqualifying for a Secret Service applicant, but sources have long complained that there are “friends and family” exceptions to that rule.  ...

The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

Excerpt:
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Secret Service is under fire after explosive allegations surfaced that the agency not only ignored a critical insider threat but retaliated against the whistleblower who raised the alarm. The shocking claims, detailed in a RealClearPolitics report by Susan Crabtree, come less than a year after two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump—one in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, and another at his Mar-a-Lago golf course on September 15, 2024—raising serious questions about the agency’s competence and commitment to national security.





The question is who was the friend or family that qualified this person for the loophole?

They should have a mental health screening! That would likely reject most leftists.
