Former VP Kamala Harris' SS Protection Revoked

[The Brad Dad]

Yes, and doing so without knowing the law. It’s a partisan knee jerk reaction. Happens all the time for both sides of the aisle.

If you believe the trump kids need protection but Harris doesn't, yes its a kneejeek partisan reaction.

Yes, it is simple.

So is the fact trump, at the end of his first term, decided to afford extended Secret Service protection for the members of his family.

There's a difference, Current law provides secret service protection to any VP for 6 months after the VP leaves office.

As for former presidents, the law gives them and their spouses lifetime secret service protection along with secret service protection to any children under the age 16.

Trump did extend for six months secret service protection to his four adult children and their two spouses following Trump's departure from office. The extension was for 6 months the same amount of time the law provided secret service protection to Harris.

Secret Service protection extended to Trump family members, ex-staffers

Former President Trump's four adult children and their two spouses are receiving Secret Service protection for six more months following Trump's departure from office.

Okay, Trump or someone extended secret service protection to his adult children for six months, that’s six months after Trump left office as it was unclear if the orders to extend the protection arrangements had come from Trump himself. As a matter of practice, the U.S. Secret Service does not discuss protective operations or protectees, a Secret Service spokesperson told ABC News.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/secret-se...ump-family-members-staffers/story?id=75407711

That protection expired 20 July 2021. The six months is exactly the same amount of time by law that secret service protection is given to all ex-VP’s including Harris. Trump just revoked the extension of Harris’s secret service protect that Biden had given her. All former VP’s including Pence, Biden immediately after he left his VP office in 2009 on back were only given six months as provided by law. Harris was the first VP to have secret service protection extended beyond six months.

If every other VP was given, by law only six months secret service protection after leaving office, what makes her so special that she deserves more? Of course, the same question can be asked of Trump’s adult children which were given six months secret service protection after he left office.

Now if the question was that if canceling Harris’s secret service protection extension was part of Trump seeking political revenge on his opponents, that question has merit. I think Trump has revenge in his heart and has been taking that revenge out on others since he entered office for a second time.

Show is the threat assessments you're reading that makes it a "fact' Kamala doesn't need SS vs the Trump kids. So far all that's on display is typical maga hatred of Harris.

What an illogical and silly demand.

Of course, the burden is on you to show that she, unlike all of her former VP predecessors, requires extra special treatment beyond the standard six months. That burden of proof has not been met, which is why you’re trying to defy basic logic and shift the burden elsewhere.

Do better.

 

[Hello My Son]

And maga loves it cause it might result in another dead Black women. Win/win, I guess.

Weird victim playing post noted and rejected.

Try harder, and this time take the monocular off, 'My Son.'

Or you could just write posts that are grammatically correct and don’t require a team of linguists to translate.

I think all recent presidents have done or tried that for their children and usually for 6 months - including Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump, and Clinton.

Yep, exactly. Some posters don’t do their basic homework before making reactionary posts about anything Trump-related. It’s rather silly.

 

[AZRWinger]

How long should a former veep receive Secret Service protection?

The standard is the VP receives SS protection for 6 months after leaving office. She has already received SS protection for the standard duration.

Right, but there was an extension. Why he cancelled it is the question given there was no security assessment prior to doing so. This would be less of an issue if he wasn't known as being a bottomless well of pettiness.

 

[BirdinHand]

Rumor is that CA Highway Patrol is going to step up and provide protection services to Harris.


Once again, CA leading the way.

Well, it's not quite the same question because the SS protection for a VP is extended for the 6 months as you already discussed.

Families of presidents, other than their spouse and children under 16, don't get the extended SS protection unless it was done by EO by the exiting or entering president. And since that is just an EO, it can be undone by a current president.

Odd timing for Porky Pig to revoke Secret Service protection as she gets ready to tour the country with her new book. Could it be because Porky is a cowardly snake?

Could it be because there was no rationale for continuing to use the Secret Service to protect someone who has lots of money to provide her own security - just like any other rich celebrity?
Posters visiting this site bitch about minuscule expense like political banners but don't care about the cost of further extending of protection for the former VP - beyond what the law requires.
Why is it so important to the country to extend Secret Service protection to a private citizen who can easily provide her own protection?

Why has Kamala Harris' security detail been withdrawn?​

President Donald Trump has cancelled former Vice-President Kamala Harris' Secret Service detail, seven months after she left office following her unsuccessful presidential campaign. By law, the US Secret Service provides former vice-presidents and their families six months of protection after their terms end.
That term, however, can be extended, which former President Joe Biden reportedly did before leaving office.

Why has Kamala Harris' Secret Service detail been withdrawn?

The overstretched Secret Service is required to provide 6 months of protection to former vice-presidents.

Oh gee, a President countermanding his predecessor is unprecedented. Kim Jung Biden only did it 46 times by Executive Order on the afternoon of his inaguration.

2 bogus impeachments, Mueller witchhunt, assassination attempts inspired by Democrat supported rhetoric, show trial by hand picked House committee, and lawfare campaign orchestrated by the Biden regime are no reasons to subject Princess Kamala to the inconvenience of providing her own security after 6 months like every other VP.

Thanks for proving my point about the endless pettiness.

Princess Kamala can certainly afford her own protective detail as she flits around the country leaving portions of her word salad cuisine wherever she lands.

An extension needs to be justified by a need. Why would she need extra special treatment not afforded to every other former VP or failed presidential candidate? Aside from “because Joe Biden waved a magic wand and said so,” you guys don’t have a single reason to cite why extended protection would be necessary.

 

[Callen]

What we don't know is why Biden extended it. Was/is Harris getting death threats for example? Problem is Trump has been so vindictive and petty it's hard to believe this was just a standard move.

Yeah, there are no gun crazy maniacs with distorted views on politicians just ask Trump. Trump the pig said it was a waste of money and he wants to paint the wall black!!!

 

[rhinefire]

Incorrect. I attacked your post for being irrational and a nonsensical rant.



Former VPs are only entitled to 6 months of protection after leaving office. Trump allowed Harris to have 7 1/2 months before pulling her detail.

Therefore Harris received special treatment. It’s just a fact.

Coming from a person whose avatar is of a make believe person.

 

[Perotista]

I don’t have to pretend Donald Trump is someone other than Donald Trump.

Harris received her secret service protection as required by law. By law, she isn't required or to have secret service protection beyond six months after leaving office. The law was adhered to. Now what makes Harris so special she deserves the extra protection than none of the former VP's had once they left office?

This whole thing is nothing more than a knee jerk partisan rant unless you can prove that any former VP's received more secret service protection than the mandatory six months after leaving office as the law states.

 

[rhinefire]

According to the law, Harris, any VP was authorized secret service protection for 6 months after leaving office. The law states:

‘‘(8) Former Vice Presidents, their spouses, and their children who are under 16 years of age, for a period of not more than six months after the date the former Vice President leaves office.

Which by law Harris’s secret service protection should have ended 20 July 2025. Apparently, Biden signed an extension, Trump canceled that extension. It’s all fairly simple.

"It’s all fairly simple." Like Pig Trump's little brain

 

[Hello My Son]

Doubtful. Kamala didn’t express any complaints or concerns. If she felt this move was putting her life at risk, she wouldn’t have just thanked the SS and moved on with her life. Seems like several people should take her lead and do the same.

If she had protested and said that this was putting her life at risk, then it’d be a very different discussion.

 

[rhinefire]

VPs usually get SS protection for only six months after they leave office, so she was actually allowed to have it for extra time compared to her predecessors.

Plus, leftists should be happy with this because it means there are several fewer people out there running around with guns. Kamala would approve of this as well.

Trump yanked the extension she had with the same revenge motive he has for all that oppose his lying ass. Or it could be his bone spurs are acting up causing him to act irrationally.
