And, of course, there are the ones that never make contact, never emerge until they act.\u00a0\u00a0The Secret Service has \u201cone job\u201d to do, neutralize those threats and keep the protectee safe.\u00a0\u00a0And they have to be right, every time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The attackers only have to \u201cmake it\u201d once for the Secret Service to be a \u201cfailure\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0And the constant pressure of the threats doesn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The \u201cthreat environment\u201d is always bad.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I was working the Carter\/Mondale Campaign back in the 1970\u2019s, the memory of the Kennedy and King Assassinations was fresh. Those were by a single gunman, the \u201clone wolf\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Service advanced teams would come into town and create a list of everyone that authored crank letters, made crazy phone calls, or somehow seemed to be a danger.&nbsp;&nbsp;The local police contacted all of those folks, most of them just crackpots, and made sure they were \u201ccontrolled\u201d while the protectee was in town.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All Hands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And when the President was in town, it was an \u201call hands on deck\u201d moment for all Federal agents.&nbsp;&nbsp;Not only the Secret Service, but&nbsp;&nbsp;FBI, US Marshals, DEA, ATF and all other Federal alphabetical enforcement personnel were dragooned into service, along with all the state and local authorities.&nbsp;&nbsp;And it wasn\u2019t just the black-suited \u201cbodyguards\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;When candidate Jimmy Carter was in town, I was a junior staffer trying to clear a path through the crowd.&nbsp;&nbsp;As I backed up, my elbow bumped into an unshaven guy in an old army jacket behind me.&nbsp;It hit something hard, on the side of his chest \u2013 a shoulder holster with gun.&nbsp;&nbsp;As I turned around to see, we locked eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;All I knew what that I was between a gun and the path of the candidate.&nbsp;&nbsp;The guy slowly raised the lapel on his threadbare coat.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Secret Service \u201cbadge of the day\u201d was underneath \u2013 he was one of them \u2013 Whew!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coordination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When a candidate comes into town, there\u2019s a whole series of groups that need \u201ccoordination\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There\u2019s the campaign:&nbsp;&nbsp;first the national advance team, then the actual \u201cmain\u201d team travelling with the candidate.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then there\u2019s the state and local campaign folks, working with the national team, figuring out where and how the event can play out.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then there\u2019s the myriad of law enforcement agencies.&nbsp;&nbsp;All of those have to be coordinated \u2013 no surprises from any level when the candidate is actually there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone with close contact has to be vetted, every transportation move thought out, motorcade routes (and alternatives) mapped, and all the \u201cwhat-if\u201d scenarios thought through.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Local hospitals are put on alert, trauma surgeons called in for duty, emergency department rooms isolated and prepped.&nbsp;&nbsp;All for maybe an hour on the ground, and at the height of a Presidential campaign, four, five or even six locations per day.&nbsp;&nbsp;That\u2019s two Presidential candidates, two Vice Presidential candidates (<em>just announced; Ohio&#8217;s Senator JD Vance the Republican running-mate)<\/em>, their wives and even adult kids.&nbsp;&nbsp;All happening at the same time, all over the country, event after event, every day now from August to November.&nbsp;&nbsp;And for the Secret Service, the end of one event is just the moment when it\u2019s time to get in the car, or on a plane, to the next stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1968 -1976<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Threats are magnified by the polarization of our Nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is MAGA, and there are the Never-Trumpers, and there the Democrats.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are few left in the middle, few who can \u201csee both sides\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both MAGA and Democrats are claiming the \u201cend of democracy as we know it\u201d if the \u201cother side\u201d wins.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cries for unity, by either Biden or Trump, are pretty hollow.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unity means agree with us, or YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">America has been here before.&nbsp;&nbsp;1968 was a year of riots: race riots as the promise of Civil Rights remained unfulfilled, and student riots against the Vietnam War.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even the Democratic Party was riven:&nbsp;&nbsp;the Democratic President, Johnson, was prosecuting the War to its fullest (and the Pentagon was lying to the public about winning).&nbsp;&nbsp;And Democratic candidates running against him wanted the United States out of the war, now.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Republican candidates were just as dedicated to the War as Johnson was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It was also a year of political assassination \u2013 Martin Luther King Jr and Robert Kennedy.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And while there were the same calls for American unity, they also had the same \u201cprice tag\u201d:&nbsp;&nbsp;unity and agreement weren\u2019t the same then, or now.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And in my year in Presidential politics, we were all very aware of the dangers, not just of division, but of attack.&nbsp;&nbsp;It never got so ugly with Carter and Ford that polarization was the issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even at the campaign level, we still communicated with the Ford Campaign to \u201csmooth out\u201d issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;We didn\u2019t always agree, nor were we always happy; but we always felt like we could \u201ccall again\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s going to take a while, but in the final analysis, the Secret Service will admit that they screwed up in Butler, Pennsylvania.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether the Service had \u201cresponsibility\u201d for the buildings outside of the \u201csecurity perimeter\u201d, or whether state or local police were delegated the role; in the end, it was the Secret Service\u2019s fault.&nbsp;&nbsp;After all, \u201cthey had one job\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;They failed to prevent the attack; they\u2019d didn\u2019t keep the shooter off of the building, nor did they \u201cneutralize\u201d him when he was in their sights, before he took his shot.&nbsp;&nbsp;As John Wayne would say; \u201cMy fault, your fault, nobody\u2019s fault\u2026\u201d it was their job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>And for those of you who think Trump\u2019s death would end MAGA\u2019ism, I believe you\u2019re sorely mistaken.&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump\u2019s death would make him a martyr to his cause, one that would be a rallying point for decades to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;Smarter, more devious individuals would take up the \u201cfallen\u201d MAGA Flag, and use it to drive their divisive plan through.&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump doesn\u2019t  need to die, he needs to be defeated, again, once and for all.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then the United States can move past him, just as we did McCarthyism and Secession.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a scene in the George Clooney movie, \u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don Cheadle is one of eleven thieves tasked with breaking into a vault.&nbsp;&nbsp;His job: to handle the explosives blowing the vault door.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheadle blows the door, and&nbsp;&nbsp;enters the safe \u2013 then an alarm goes off.&nbsp;&nbsp;He turns to his compatriots and says:&nbsp;\u201cOh leave it out!
