“Despite the Republican National Committee’s good faith efforts over the last four weeks to work with your United States Secret Service (‘USSS’) subordinates to resolve the critical flaw with the Security Perimeter in the USSS’s Operational Security Plan, which was the subject of my April 26 letter, the RNC’s grave concerns about the unacceptable risk to public safety remain unaddressed.”
“Rather than dissipating, the overall security climate has worsened significantly over the past month of the USSS’s inaction, as evidenced by the public statements of the anticipated demonstrators, as detailed below. Your failure to act now to prevent these unnecessary and certain risks will imperil tens of thousands of Convention attendees, inexcusably forcing them into close proximity to the currently planned First Amendment Zone. Inevitably, this Plan will heighten – rather than obviate or diffuse – tensions and confrontation, creating an increased and untenable risk of violence.”
“This rapidly deteriorating security environment and the severe consequences to the public underscore the exigency of your personal leadership and action to solve this problem, as the RNC requested in my April 26 letter” and blah blah blah writes RNC General Counsel Todd Steggerda to US Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, complaining like a total Karen about their big cult fest’s attendees potentially being exposed to too much free speech from the liberal protestors and locals who would rather the GOP hold their venereal disease superspreader event somewhere else.
