Not sure if this has been covered, but it is about Sen Grassley's probe into the agents on duty on July 13.

Quote:Another factor, according to these sources within the Secret Service community, was that the agency was relying heavily on supplemental special agents (not Trump’s regular team of special agents) and local law enforcement because many special agents in Trump’s regular protective detail were overburdened and needed to take time off after working several consecutive seven-day weeks.
RCP has also learned that there may have been only one regular special agent detailee on site the day of the rally. The rest are from the Candidate Nominee Operation Section, or CNOS, “temps” in Secret Service shorthand. First instituted in 1998, the CNOS teams comprise special agents from 142 field offices and operate on 21-day rotational assignments. When they complete their rotations, they return to their field offices.
This is not unusual for a former president to experience, but the threats against Trump, the only former president in modern political history to run again and one who has faced prosecutions and comparisons to Hitler from Democrats, are obviously greater than most ex-commanders in chief whose profiles have tended to decline after leaving public office.
Timor est magnus animus interfectorem!!!
