Have you seen this video from James O'Keefe?
[Warning: Language]
Here's what O'Keefe alleges:
Tomas Escotto, a current U.S. Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance's protective detail, was recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information, including protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations.
The Secret Service agent detailed how the Vice President is physically surrounded, described multiple daily shift changes, & disclosed advance security procedures.
In addition to past movements, the agent revealed future travel plans, sometimes days in advance. Escotto even sent images from Air Force Two while onboard with the Vice President.
O'Keefe points out the Secret Service's NDA agreement:
It would also be a violation of federal law, as O'Keefe points out:
And now the officer has been placed on leave:
In a statement, the Secret Service said the agent — identified by O'Keefe Tuesday as Tomas Escotto — had his security clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked pending an internal investigation.
Now, this investigation will be very important. James O'Keefe, while entertaining, is a bit of a - how do you say? - theater kid. So to get a full investigation here would be pretty helpful to clear things up and be sure these allegations are true.
More from Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn:
The US Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees ... The US Secret Service has a 160-year-old tradition of discretion that sets this agency apart, and we have no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard. The US Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy. The faith our protectees place in this agency is not something the US Secret Service takes lightly, and we are committed to taking the necessary actions to ensure that a similar breach of standards does not occur again.
Quinn says all personel are set to retake the Secret Service's anti-espionage training, "in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations."
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the guys who worked for and voted for Biden are going to do very poorly on this test.
