One of JD Vance's Secret Service Agents Is Under Investigation for Leaking "Sensitive" Information

Just filled with rotten apples, one after another.

A member of Vice President JD Vance's Secret Service detail is under investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive information, the agency confirmed Thursday.
The administrative investigation could become a criminal inquiry, Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service's chief of communications, said, according to CBS News.
"While we will not comment on the specifics of this matter, one principle is unequivocal: any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated," Gugliemi said.
The allegations, according to Gugliemi, involve compromising operational and information security. Gugliemi didn't provide specific allegations, nor did he name the person under suspicion.

The agent is on administrative leave as the government conducts both administrative and criminal investigations.

This follows last week's story that the White House teleprompter operator had made $100,000 making political bets on Kalshi, based, assumedly, on inside information about what Trump would be talking about before he actually said it.

President Donald Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on more than a dozen of Trump's speeches on the prediction market Kalshi, federal investigators with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Gabriel Perez, a technical assistant to the president who has been operating Trump's teleprompter since 2016, is in talks with federal regulators to settle allegations he used his inside knowledge of the president's speeches to win more than $100,000, the sources said.
According to the sources, Kalshi alerted its regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to the suspicious activity on its "Mentions" market, where users can bet on whether specific words, phrases or topics are uttered during a public speech.
"Our surveillance team promptly flagged and referred these trades to the CFTC, and we are cooperating and assisting regulators," Kalshi's head of enforcement, Bobby DeNault, said in a statement provided to ABC News.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday afternoon, following ABC News' report, that Perez has been put on unpaid administrative leave. Leavitt said she spoke with President Trump about it, and he thought it was a "disgrace" and made the decision himself to put Perez on unpaid.

There have been 3 serious attempts - one guy is dead and the other two are in jail.

But there has been no visible effort to do anything to the groups working with the would be assassins or even an effort to roll up the people providing them material assistance.

If Trump goes down does Vance keep this going the same way or does he actually role up leftwing networks?

Look, if you're a Secret Service officer, setting up a Presidential candidate to be shot by a sniper is about as bad a job as you could possibly do. It's gotta be #1 at the top of the "DON'T" side of the "Do's & Don'ts" page in your orientation packet when you get hired.

But long before they pulled that fun little stunt, they were plagued by scandal after scandal after scandal, from Thai hookers and blow, to shaking down Ukrainian hookers and Arizona cops to cover for Hunter Biden's little oopsies, and all sorts of fun stuff in between.

If there was a police agency begging to be defunded, it's that one.

Get rid of it.

Let the candidates and Presidents recruit their own loyal executive protection, and just pay for that.

49 Bet you didn't know this. When Trump was up in Alberta Canada in June 2025 for the G7 conference, a RCMP officer was posting threats against him on SnapChat. Additionally, he was giving information out on Trump's schedule so as to compromise security.

The RCMP officer (34-year-old Evenson Dumerlus of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec) was stripped of his G7 duties the same day, sent home, and suspended. He was, eventually, charged.

I suppose the US press missed this one.

75 Depends on what Perez bet on. If it's what Trump would mention in his speech, then I guess he can have some advance notice on that and skew results.

Also if he bets that Trump would lose his place, that's obviously something that a teleprompter guy can affect.

I guess since in the form of a conflict of interest regardless, it's a good thing the WH took action.

137 Speaking of gambling, I want to brag a little bit about how my little investing experiment is going.

I started on 10 Oct, 2025 with $24,671.
Current value is $29,729.
Total dollar gain: $5,057
Simple total return: +20.5%
Annualized return: ~26.9% per year
Time elapsed: 286 days

Over the same time period, the S&P500's simple total return was +14.4% and annualized return was +18.8%. I comfortably beat the market.

I did options trading with cash secured puts and covered calls.

And just be aware I'm sincerely not attacking you or what you're saying. I think it's interesting.

Since time immemorial, these Praetorian Guards have always been trouble, and they only get worse as time goes on.

Our Presidents are effectively emperors, and weak ones who don't have a lot of power in the first place, and are always vulnerable to their retinues and the enemies within them.

Let them select their own security, and let the checks come from them personally, even if the funds start as a public disbursement. If these button men owe their highly paid positions to one man, they'll cover his ass, come hell or high water, let alone on a hot day with a gently sloping rooftop and a lot of encouragement from his opponents who are also their current bosses.

It really is a stupid system we have, if you give it any thought. It's already gotten a bullet into at least one President's face. Just shut it down.

My guess is that is how the Democrats (and probably some GOP roll)--they leave their classified info in such a way as to be easily accessible and then get paid by donations to campaigns or their non profits to launder the cash. So Killary leaves her info on a deliberately unsecured server and makes bank from foreign donations to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Debbie lets ISI Pakistani scammers provide all the Dems with top classified info and the Democrat campaign funds get millions in laundered cash donations. And I suspect that info ended up in Iran and China with ISI simply being the collector of it.

The other part of the scam was to have a commonly accessed gmail account and post draft emails with attachments but never send them. Anyone with the account and password could then take a look at what was in there without it being passed via email and easily intercepted. Discord chat logs are also being used as I suspect other chat type channels likewise

194 My favorite part of the NBA scandals is that for years there had been accusations the games were fixed which the league and sports reporters denied had ever happened.

We have a ruling class that looks at Americans as a resource to be plundered. They no longer look abroad for plunder but instead plunder us with the rest of the world's refuse adding on to the cost. No wonder we are 39 trillion in the hole, about half of it has been stolen from our government to make the world economy work. Neither the ruling class nor the imported peasants they bring in to retain power have any American sympathies in their bones--they are all globalist scum out to make a buck by any means possible. Post Americans besieging Heritage Americans.

He got paid too. Probably for other matters like keeping his donors informed on key committee and tax legislation before it happened and perhaps letting them write much of the bill.

The real problem in the Secret Service is not the leaks -- it's the lowering of standards and training and ongoing DEI issues. The current leadership team, led by USSS Director Sean Curran and Deputy Director Matt Quinn, have held back on Hegseth-like reforms to the Secret Service, as I've reported multiple times.
