WILMINGTON, N.C., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Secret Service could potentially take a step unprecedented in American political history -- investigate one of the candidates it is assigned to protect.

The agency said it is "aware" of a remark made by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at a North Carolina campaign stop on Tuesday, which appeared to some a thinly-veiled quip about threatening Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with gun violence.

1. Schaaaaaaaaaadenfreude!

I will laugh myself sick if they follow through on this.

Then I'll make more popcorn and laugh myself sick again.

2. Doesn't awareness here = investigation?

3. That would seem the most logical next step

So they're "aware of it," which is great, but what's next?

Anything?

5. Ex-CIA chief: Trump comment would get someone else a ride in 'police wagon'

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden on Tuesday slammed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for apparently joking about the possibility that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton could be shot.

"If someone else had said that outside the hall, he'd be in the back of a police wagon now, with the Secret Service questioning him," Hayden said Tuesday on CNN.

6. O'Donnell is taking Trump apart methodically at the top of his show,

starting with the Secret Service tweet.
