We 'may' have let some terrorists in? plus No Accountability from Secret Service & Jordanian Illegals Bailed Out Week In Review

Accountability

The Secret Service's lack of accountability has become a significant concern. Ted Cruz criticizes the absence of consequences for agents involved in major incidents, such as the attempted assassination of a former president. He argues that the agency needs radical transparency and questions the political motivations behind leadership appointments 1. Cruz believes that the former director was chosen to protect political vulnerabilities rather than ensure security 2.

Compared to the former director, the acting director is at least admitting they screwed it up.
