So hey, for those who haven't heard, the ex president of the United States incited a violent coup against the government because he didn't want to stop being president.
Let's keep talking about that thing!

Nah we just putter around
Coup, there it is
Not "[Coup] Whatcha Say, Oh That You Only Meant Well"?
I'm ashamed.
Well here's something that's equal parts enraging and unsurprising.
From Roll Call: Capitol Police faced equipment shortage during Jan. 6 attack
Officers from that day noted that the insurrectionists came better equipped than the capitol police.
They violated the edict when they called me a “fuck-stick”
...
Coup got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
We knew this was the case before the coup even happened. The Secret Service has been in the tank for Trump for a long while now.
Very unlikely anything happens as a consequence.
Republican negotiates concessions on a subject and then opposes the whatever that they just negotiated. Lucy, football, etc.
seems like if a bunch of agents were happy to overthrow him, maaaaaybe they shouldn't be in charge of protecting him?
For some reason I trust her more than just about anybody to clean them out
Edit for redundancy removal editing
Remember that there's more to the agency than protection details. A lot of them are just cops (they deal with counterfeiting and such)

The rot is that deep.
yeah, but presumably they are all trained somewhat in the protection aspect right?
in case something happens and there needs to be immediate stand ins?
They were moved from Treasury to DHS when it was created.
(That explains a lot)

Ah, [putsch] it. Putsch it real good!
13 [Treasons] Why
Almost definitely not. The USSS wears two completely unrelated hats, and each requires a totally separate set of skills from the other. The IT/financial guys aren't interchangeable with the close protection services.
Insurrectionist opposes investigating insurrection is a real dog bites man story.
In the ATF, Secret Service, and FBI the IT/financial guys aren't officers they're just employees. Everyone that goes to the respective academy to become special agents and carry guns have some sort of base training and then get assigned to a squad based on need and background experience. Their career growth goes on from there.
This dynamic does not include the CIA. They aren't federal officers and are an independent branch of the government thus function very differently.
Interesting. Rounds was NOT one of the seven senators who voted for impeachment. If we assume they all vote for this commission, then we're already at eight and only would need two more to get it past cloture/filibuster.
Neat trick, saying you don't want something swept under the rug and then doing just that by giving it a quick, narrow "investigation" and equally speedy dismissal.
