Dan Bongino, a radio talk show host and podcaster with a background as a former Secret Service agent, has forecasted another possible “incident” involving the agency, indicating that its current condition is more precarious than it was prior to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In the wake of Congressional investigations into the assassination attempt, Kimberly Cheatle, who was the Director of the Secret Service at the time, resigned, leading to the appointment of Ronald L. Rowe Jr. as the interim director. However, Bongino has consistently asserted on his program that Rowe’s leadership is not an improvement, claiming that the agency’s upper management is either corrupt or lacking in competence.

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., asked Bongino, “Is the Secret Service in a better spot today with Director Rowe in charge?”

“No, it’s worse,” Bongino replied. He predicted that “something else” will happen, although he added, “I pray to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ that I’m wrong.” He added: “[If] you think this is the last incident, you’re out of your mind.”

“Kim Cheatle, the director, wasn’t even fired. She was allowed to resign,” Bongino pointed out. “She’ll go get some cushy job somewhere, and her deputy” got promoted. He then continued, saying whistleblowers within the Secret Service told him that Rowe “was concerned about the tie color of the agents on the detail because it seemed to imply they supported President Trump. This is the kind of stuff the Secret Service was actually wasting their time with.”

“If you can explain it, then good luck because that’s not the agency I worked for,” Bongino added, according to the Daily Signal.

Bongino discussed the assassination attempt on Trump that occurred on July 13 during a forum attended by Republican members of Congress, including Andy Biggs and Eli Crane from Arizona, Matt Gaetz and Cory Mills from Florida, and Chip Roy from Texas. The event also included contributions from Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL and founder of Blackwater, as well as Ben Shaffer, a SWAT operator from the Washington region who was involved in security on that day.

During the forum, which took place in proximity to the U.S. Capitol, the congressmen showcased video footage from the July 13 incident, indicating that individuals in the crowd had attempted to notify law enforcement about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who subsequently fired at Trump, prior to the shooting. Mills posed several inquiries to Shaffer regarding the inadequate preparations made by the Secret Service in anticipation of a potential threat.

Shaffer confirmed that Secret Service “didn’t take the communication platform that was given by local forces,” that the agency “didn’t take the surveillance drone offered by local forces,” and that agents “didn’t show up for the morning briefing to ensure that last-minute planning could be accounted for.” He also confirmed that Secret Service “did not access the water tower that has the highest vantage point.”
