The guys with the ear pieces and suits are how most of us view the Secret Service. But they do a helluva lot more than that. Maybe too much.

If, and that’s a very big if. If the stories coming out (via the IG of the Department of Homeland Security) about the actions of the Secret Service in and around the 6 January 2021, there needs to be a wholesale change in the leadership, training and responsibilities of the Secret Service. There appear to be whole host of reasons for what actually or may have happened to and within the protective branch of the Secret Service torwards the end of the Trump Administration. One of the most obvious changes needed is a statutorily mandated cooling off period for agent assigned to a Protectee to work for said Protectee in any capacity. (Say like two years).

Another change might be assignment duration and rotation. And we don’t have time to go into the particulars of how this change should be implemented.
