Accountability in Security: A Critical Examination

This chapter analyzes the failures of the Secret Service and local law enforcement in handling security during a significant event, focusing on conflicting statements and blame deflection between agencies. It underscores the urgent need for clarity and accountability, particularly in light of an assassination attempt on a former president and the mismanagement of security measures. The discussion calls for congressional oversight to restore public trust in federal agencies and address the lack of transparency and coordination among them.
