Tiberius Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm surprised (not) no one on here is screaming about how their taxes are being stolen to pay for this guy's lifestyle. Just so puzzling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Besides counterfeit currency, why is the Secret Service doing any of those other things? Isn't that the FBI's job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Besides counterfeit currency, why is the Secret Service doing any of those other things? Isn't that the FBI's job?no. It is in the secret service policy that they cover dignitaries. From presidents, house members to heads of foreign states and political contributors. I can't remember currently when this all happened but it is pretty neat and interesting story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
