You might want to re-read that.

And yes, the buck actually stops with his bosses at DHS and POTUS.

In reality this is going to stop at a much lower level...that is the way the real workd works and you or I will not hear the results of the very serious enquiry. A few people will be encouraged to retire, and whoever did this will be fired...since nobody got hurt, if no intel leak happened, or it can't be proven, it ends there. Otherwise somebody is in possible prison term hot water.

If any of that team, probable, remain in the service, they can kiss any VIP assignment goodbye. They will be given less than carreer advancing details. After all POTUS is the most desirable in the secret service.

That's the real world.

You will hear some wonderful formula answers if they need to actually talk to the media from somebody who does that. Quite frankly I do not expect to hear him, now Napolitano...as the secretary, perhaps a hearing. That is where politics enters the mix.

That is the real world.

In reality they will try hard to push this off the news cycle ASAP for very valid security reasons.
