(DC Pundit) – The agency tasked with shielding our leaders—including President Donald Trump—is apparently too busy playing favorites and punishing heroes to properly do its job. According to RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree, the Secret Service not only let an “insider threat” slip through the cracks but also turned on the whistleblower who dared to call it out. And this mess unfolded under the Biden administration—shocker, right?
Here’s the scoop: the Secret Service hired someone who flunked the terrorism section of their polygraph test. You know, the part where they ask, “Are you here to cause chaos?” Most folks who bomb that get shown the door, but not this gem. Thanks to a cozy little “friends and family” loophole, they got a mulligan—because who doesn’t love a good second chance when national security is on the line? Even better, this walking red flag was then put in charge of evaluating other agents’ security clearances. Crabtree reports the whistleblower’s bombshell: “The agent who reported the insider threat concerns alleges that agency officials are continuing to retaliate against him by threatening his security clearance if he doesn’t drop his legal complaints.”
Let that sink in. Instead of probing this potential disaster—who could’ve threatened anyone they protect—the Secret Service shoved the whistleblower out the door after 20 years of service. “Instead of investigating the individual for posing a potential threat to the agency and the top U.S. officials it protects, including the president and the vice president, the agent alleges he was retaliated against and forced to resign,” Crabtree writes.
This isn’t some distant “what if.” It’s been less than a year since Trump dodged two assassination attempts—one in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, and another at his Mar-a-Lago golf course on September 15. You’d think the Secret Service would be on high alert, not playing HR roulette with a whistleblower. RealClearPolitics disclosed: “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.” Oh, and get this—the agency doesn’t even bother with mental health screenings for applicants, unlike the FBI, CIA, or your average local police station.

Speaking of mental health, let’s talk about Agent Michelle Herczeg. Last year, this agent—assigned to then-VP Kamala Harris—went full meltdown at Joint Base Andrews. Reports say she was “speaking gibberish and shouting incoherently” before hurling menstrual pads at a colleague. Yes, you read that right. It gets wilder: “Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled him and punched him,” per RealClearPolitics. Agents had to wrestle her down, snag her gun, and cart her off in cuffs to a hospital. Before that, she snatched a male agent’s phone and started deleting apps.
For conservatives who back Trump’s no-nonsense leadership, this is a five-alarm fire. Our guy is back in the White House, and the Secret Service is out here hiring loose cannons while punishing the good guys. Crabtree notes the agency’s long history of boozy brawls and bad behavior—apparently, it’s less “elite guard” and more “frat house with guns.” With Trump’s safety on the line, if this is the crew watching his back, we might need to start praying harder.
