Daily Beast: How the Secret Service Foiled an Assassination Plot Against Trump by ISIS
A pair of Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Trump open up about the anxieties of their jobs and a pair of credible assassination threats they stopped in Manila.
In November 1996, President Clinton visited Manila for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum. Protests raged in the streets, with American flags being burned, so local police closed down many roads, allowing the Secret Service to chart a specific route for the president’s motorcade. As the president and members of his cabinet traveled from their hotel to the first venue of the day, “There was intelligence that came in, and we at the last minute decided to change the motorcade route,” a former Secret Service agent recalls. “It was determined that al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden had placed a bomb along the route in anticipation of the motorcade coming that way.”
Bin Laden had indeed placed a bomb under a bridge, and just before the president’s motorcade was due to cross it, the Secret Service re-routed the vehicle down a side road. President Clinton (codename: “Eagle”) was safe.
Twenty-one years later, there was a plot against President Trump’s life in Manila—a shocking fact revealed in United States Secret Service: On the Front Line, a two-hour special airing on the National Geographic Channel Sunday night that—for the first time—provides viewers with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the workings of the Secret Service, and the complex measures they take to protect the president of the United States.

parobably much more under Obama
"The number of reported threats rose from 2,400 in 1965 to 12,800 in 1969.[16] According to Ronald Kessler, President George W. Bush received about 3,000 threats a year, while his successor Barack Obama received about four times that amount.[17] This figure has been disputed by Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, who says that Obama received about as many threats as the previous two Presidents"
Now Fred and other dyed-in-the-wool Democrats would no better than the Secret Service Director. We all know how well Fred is able to calculate statistics and count, not well at all.
Threats are most likely proportional to the state of the economy, perceived threats, and actual threats.
If there is a racial incident and the president ignores it or talks about structural racism, threats go up.
If there is a racial incident and justice is seen to be done, threat go down.
If the president (Clinton) and the press lie about church burning, threats go up.
We all know who the really violent people are. People like Bill Ayers, who shoot police and bomb places. Democrats who shoot congressmen at baseball games. Creamer the husband of a Democrat Congresswoman who hires thugs to disrupt rallies.
etc, etc, etc, ...
His spelling ability is going south fast as well.
Yesterday, he wrote kine for kind and today he spelled probably as parobably.
"No evidence to support claim about threats against Obama"

my my
we certainly busy this early in the morning. Skipped Church?Begin the day (after milk and cookies) with denouncing Obama, then move on to Left...and of course Fred...what next for the day?
now this is going to sound odd, very left wing, but I dislike any and all threats against the lives of any of our elected officials, and I do not do body counts (tyhat was in the Nam war)...death and death threats are threats against the fabric of our nation
PS hate filled one...I personally am friendly with a man who was a ranking member of Secret Service and was close physically in protecting Bush.
You are assuming I am a Christian.
I do not assume that you are a Jew; there is certainly not enough evidence to convict you.
"I personally am friendly with a man who was a ranking member of Secret Service and was close physically in protecting Bush." -Fred
Meaning what?
He saw statistics that the director of the agency did not?
Amazing!
You got another tall tale?
"I dislike any and all threats against the lives of any of our elected officials, ...death and death threats are threats against the fabric of our nation" - Fred
'You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for'
- Hillary
Would you vote for Hillary a 4th time?
"Really, Hillary? Clinton says Democrats ‘can’t be civil’ until they win" - RT
Hillary spoke like a true patrician Democrat.
YOU SIMPLY CAN NOT LET GO...GO FORTH AND LOVE YOUR LIAR IN CHIEF..A SELFIE
why not take some time out and try to be civil to someone, anyone...or at least try to learn how
So Fred is evasive and will not admit to voting for Hatemonger Hillary.
