President Trump no longer safe in White House: Former Secret Service agent
Fox News Politics ^ | March 17, 2017 | Malia Zimmerman

The president is no longer safe on the White House grounds, according to former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who once guarded presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Bongino made the stunning assessment in an interview Friday with Fox News. It followed an incident last Friday night when a man jumped the White House fence and may have roamed the property for as long as 15 minutes before he was stopped by the Secret Service.

Jonathan Tran, who carried two cans of mace, set off multiple alarms, Bongino said, and was even spotted by Secret Service officers, but was still able to come within “close proximity” of the White House and even reportedly “jiggled the door” to the executive mansion.

“The intruder set off multiple alarms, alarms that clearly showed someone breached the property, and he was seen by officers who didn't think anything of it. This is a big story,” Bongino told Fox News....

The Administration of the Patrimony of the Holy See (APSA), which doubles as the Vatican’s treasury, handles the financial investments. Most of APSA’s 26-man staff are lay professionals. APSA’s top money manager is Benedetto Argentieri, formerly a market researcher at the Common Market’s Banque Europeene d’Investissement in Brussels. Soft-spoken and cultivated, Argentieri is an avid collector of 16th- century mannerist art. He occupies a marble-floored salon with 30-foot-high vaulted ceilings in an ornate 19th-century palace. Argentieri and his team of four traders manage some $100 million in U.S. and Italian government and corporate bonds. The $50 million balance is spread among 100 stocks, including such Italian blue chips as automaker Fiat and insurer Generale Assicurazione, a stock the Vatican has owned for more than 30 years. The Vatican has a firm policy against holding majority stakes. In the 1960s it controlled Immobiliare Roma, builder of the Watergate Hotel in Washington and a producer of bathtubs

So now the secret service is in OScuma’s pocket? Soros, the Beast, Bammyscum, the One Worlders are running wild. They know they have much of the control with the Shadow Government. Late Bible Prophesy expert Grant Jeffery wrote a good book on the Shadow Government. Grant was well before his time. He was very smart regarding the Scriptures. And, this book was very timely even back several years ago.

You need a lot of well trained dogs inside the fence. If the dogs get the bad guy take your time in calling them off. Also establish a kill zone inside the fence. A high voltage high amperage secondary fence would be nice. If anyone gets past that they are a mortal threat and should be killed on the spot.

Actually, you could build a very unobtrusive high voltage high amperage line quite cheaply. Dependent on the voltage you would not even need to touch it to be incapacitated or killed, and make it DC current as that is much more lethal. It would probably kill. It would be like a lightning bolt. If you breach that line you came prepared for the high voltage line and should at this point be considered prime target one.

Agree. Like you, I believe Mr. Trump would give em hell with every ounce of fight he has. But, it should not ever even come close. The minute these “jumpers” think of leaping, security should plant a weapon against their heads.

I am fearful for President Trump and his family’s safety. Dan Bongino is a patriot and his reactions and warnings are a Klaxton of warning.

This needs corrected before something terrible happens, else there will be no forgiveness for anyone on the left and the country plunged into a very dark place.

“I have no problem with the President running the country from Mar-a-Lago”

He makes frequent trips there but these are working trips with aids and cabinet members. I think he goes there because he is certain of the privacy of his conversations as opposed to the White House.

I absolutely agree. No reason for the senators and congressmen to live in DC. Let them live in the places they supposedly represent. And, let the president and VP determine their own residences. Same with cabinet members. The libs would hate that. Well, the pubbies too. They are all used to their East Coast Hollywood.

There’s also the benefit that lobbyists would have to travel far and wide to issue their bribes, as opposed to just inviting the congressperson to lunch in DC.

Nearly everything that Congress does — votes, committee hearings, etc., can be done online. Bonus: no one misses votes because “the train was late.”

there is a simple fix. trained guard dogs and better video surveillance. I just don’t understand how anyone could get on the property with out being intercepted 10 seconds after jumping the fence.

Every evening at dinner we toast “The President” and add “God bless him and keep him safe”

Serious charge.

Time for some serious lie detector tests with every SS member assigned to Trump, the White House and DC.

It’s 2017. Time for DC to become a museum city.

Excellent suggestion to consider in today’s world.

Add geese. You can bribe a dog at night but you can’t bribe geese to shut up like you can a dog. And geese can see not just normal colors but also in ultraviolet...

Bonzo has Kenyanized the White House. What a damn shame.
