CREW: emails show Secret Service WITHHELD credible death threat info against Pence, Pelosi, Schumer

[kpete]

The Secret Service received notice of a shooting threat against then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as the Capitol was under attack on January 6, but did not pass it along to Capitol Police for more than an hour after receiving it, according to records obtained by CREW.

Right-wing news channel Newsmax received a voicemail suggesting a shooting threat against Schumer shortly before 4 pm on January 6, roughly an hour after the Senate chamber had been breached and well before law enforcement was able to clear them out. A Newsmax editor emailed the voicemail to the Secret Service at 3:59 pm, indicating the timestamp at which the threat was made. The Secret Service forwarded the message to the agency’s Protective Intelligence and Assessment Division (PID) approximately 10 minutes later. US Capitol Police did not receive the voicemail from PID until more than an hour after Newsmax had sent it. The records do not show how explicit the threat was made in the voicemail.

At the time of the voicemail, President Trump was refusing to send in any aid to support law enforcement at the Capitol and had publicly pressured Vice President Pence and members of Congress to overturn the election.

[czarjak]

5. Did not trust before, much less after which includes now. The moles think they're Holy.

[Cha]

be Fired and brought up on Charges of Egregious Dereliction of Duty and Endangering US Congress people and a US Senator.. throw a VP in there for good measure.

ETA~ Endangering our Beloved Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi!

[sakabatou]

13. Agreed, the officers involved need to be fired.

How many others, though, would also not do their duty?

[Hekate]

14. *And* the Speaker of the House, let's not forget

[Cha]

20. Yes, I was thinking of her when I posted..

Sorry I didn't write her name..

I'll go do that now!

[Evolve Dammit]

19. x 1000!

[Meadowoak]

36. They were in on it.

[RussBLib]

2. I'll bet....

....that, instead of a 1-hour delay in notifying the Capitol Police, it was probably several days. I think we have heard the Secret Service was monitoring some of these wackos, and there is an appearance some of the SS were sympathetic to the attack on the Capitol. So, it's also possible that some of the SS agents were even involved in the plotting. Something is quite rotten in Denmark.

3. I remember Grassley saying he could certify the elections .....

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Demsrule86]

4. I still believe if Pence had gotten in that car he would be dead.

[Hekate]

9. For Grassley to be in a position to certify, Speaker Pelosi would also have to be dead

[onecaliberal]

21. This is the reason we need to know why he was telling the press it would be him certifying.

[Hekate]

27. You bet

[Deep State Witch]

32. That Was The Plan

The mob was going after Pelosi as well as Pence.

[Hekate]

33. I was in such shock from watching it all that it feels like it took me several days to realize that

… “Naaaancy. Come oooouuuut Nancy” wasn’t just a hated Dem to them but Speaker of the House and next in line for POTUS. And that it was oh-so-intentional.

Which is why I repeat the titles of Pence and Pelosi and not just their names whenever I talk about that day.

My shock was not that there was a violent mob — people like us knew it was coming — but that there was no National Guard to protect the Capitol, its people, and its functions.

Meanwhile, because we are an overly-casual society, everyone from the news reporters to ourselves referred to the Speaker of the House as “Nancy Pelosi,” without reminding the public of her high office and why it mattered so very much that she was a target.

Sorry, you know all this.

[soldierant]

35. You're thinking about the line of successsion

to the Presidency. That doesn't apply here - the Electoral Count Act does. If the Vice President can't be there, Grassley was the person in line to do the ceremonial job. Pence would not have had to be dead either, just held hostage away from the Capitol. But he ight well have been dead, and they certainly did want to kill Pelosi.

[Deep State Witch]

31. Exactly

"Mafia Don" would have done a "Fredo" on him.

[marble falls]

6. 45 turned the SS into his Praetorian Guard.

[paleotn]

11. Bingo.

[Hekate]

15. All those in close proximity to him, plus he tried to corrupt the rest. A deep cleaning is needed.

[mahina]

7. Jesus.

[paleotn]

10. Deliberate. Very deliberate....

At the very least people need to be fired and their record stained. At best they need to be investigated, charged and convicted.

[Hekate]

12. When even Frank Figliuzzi looks at the camera and says, "It's broken..."

Yes sir, it is. Everything Trump Touches…

[Evolve Dammit]

22. And Frank knows of what he speaks. He is a straight arrow as are many of MSNBC contribs.

[Hekate]

28. Being a straight arrow is one of the things I like about him

[Traildogbob]

16. No worries

MTG and Bannon are gonna be on this after GQP tsunami. Defund the FBI and impeach heads of all agencies. They will get to the bottom of this corruption, Marginal Trailer and Steve will make damn sure it all gets cleaned up.

[Genki Hikari]

38. They can impeach all they want

But they won't have the votes in the Senate to have it go anywhere.

And that does Zilch to stop DOJ.

[malaise]

17. And yet their coup failed

That’s the good news - the Capitol Police and calm Dems saved the day.

[BlueIdaho]

18. Time to reform the SS.

So it acts less like the SS and more like the Secret Service.

[reACTIONary]

23. So the SS WITHHELD the death threat...

... but turned it over to the Capital Police? From whom did they WITHHELD it?

[Sky Jewels]

24. FFS.

There should have been mass arrests after J6 at all levels of government. It's ridiculous that justice was just put on the back burner.

For starters, Trump should have had his ginormous ass thrown in Gitmo on J7.

[progressoid]

25. Kind of surprised that Newsmax forwarded this information.

[yardwork]

26. When Newsmax acts more responsibly than the Secret Service...

[Kid Berwyn]

29. The Rot

Facts point to conspiracy to overthrow the government:

The mob knew where to look.
Offices were missing emergency panic buttons.
Democratic leaders were targeted for violence.
Those charged with their protection did nothing.

US Secret Service Left Speaker Pelosi Defenseless

[Blue Owl]

30. Think more like the Nazi-era SS

[Grins]

34. In the days later, why didn't Newsmax publicly report this "news?"

They could have.
It wasn’t a secret.
Their supposed product and raison d'être is “news.”

Because they knew it was Republicans and not Antifa?
Knew it for what it was - an attempted Coup d’Etat.?
By their viewers?
While McCarthy and McConnell were denouncing it on the floors of the House and Senate?

Why did it take 21-months for this to be revealed? By a 3rd party?

Because, like Fox and OANN - they’re in on it!!
