Eli Crane’s Warning to Trump

Former Navy SEAL and Republican Representative Eli Crane has cautioned former President Donald Trump about possible vulnerabilities within the Secret Service. Crane warned that an insider could be compromising Trump’s security. During an interview with commentator Benny Johnson, Crane presented evidence suggesting the presence of a mole. He recommended Trump enhance his private security arrangements and integrate trusted personal guards to address these security gaps.

Crane’s warning follows a second assassination attempt at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf club. This incident has triggered serious questions about the effectiveness of the Secret Service. Both times, Secret Service personnel quickly neutralized or apprehended the shooter and managed to protect Trump from further harm. However, the simple fact that an assailant could get close enough to pose a danger to the former president not just once, but twice, draws suspicion.

Response and Investigation

The FBI has taken over the investigation into the assassination attempt, aiming to uncover the full extent of the threat. An independent review announced by President Biden will also probe the incident with full participation from the Secret Service. This step comes as additional security measures have been implemented since June, with further enhancements following the recent attacks.

The Secret Service is also facing scrutiny for a recent incident where a lone gunman was detected and captured after hiding near Trump’s golf course for 12 hours. Critics have raised questions about how these threats are able to come so close to the former president, hinting at possible failures within the Secret Service.

President Trump's round of golf was not on any public schedule. How did the suspect know President Trump was golfing there today and near the 5th Hole?

Transparency and Accountability Issues

Further criticism has come from Republican senators demanding greater transparency and accountability. They have called for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and a thorough investigation into these security lapses. FBI Director Chris Wray stated that no motive has been determined for the second gunman.

Despite the challenges, the Secret Service assures that Trump’s security plan has been reviewed and strengthened. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated that Trump’s security is now comparable to that of current President Biden. The emphasis is on adapting operational security plans dynamically to respond to potential threats.
