When they make the movie about this All The President's Men will look quaint in hindsight.

1. One would hope they are investigating those SS agents.

3. Good question !

4. Unfortunately we do. A former president is entitled to Secret Service protection

for life, apparently with no restrictions as to where he goes with them. We can only hope that "for life" is a fairly short period of time in this case.

6. And that they're not assigned to President Biden.

5. WTF?!

I just heard about this yesterday. Disturbing on so many levels. Wonder if these agents were true believers, or just looking to retire in the Caribbean?

7. What I want to know is whether it would be normal protocol

to take the VP out of the Capitol by car if it was being attacked by people on the ground. I can see that being done if there was a danger to the building itself, e.g., a 9/11-type situation or a bomb threat, but since there's a whole network of tunnels under the DC government complex, wouldn't it have been safer to move him out through a tunnel rather than subjecting him to the possibly greater risk involved in taking him outside and into a vehicle?

Somebody's got a lotta 'splainin' to do.

8. Pence was very smart to not get into that car
