More than 130 Secret Service agents are currently isolated due to covid infection or close contact to someone who tested positive. The nearly 10% of all secret service agents being unable to work is partially attributed to the White House's travel/rally schedule and poor covid protocol.

IMO. Spreading information like this is quite dangerous. The 3 people "familiar with the staffing agency" should be prosecuted.

Ok, maybe. What law did they break?

They implied Trump did something wrong/bad.

That is unacceptable to his (non) supporters.

To the story, it shouldn't really be a surprise.  Trump is delusional and insisted he wasn't contagious and no one dares argue with him so they traveled and didn't take the right precautions because he didn't want to.  It's all on him.

It will be so nice to have a decent human being in the WH again in January.

There's some pretty strict disclosure criteria within the Secret Service and it appears to have breached.  This at a minimum; treason at the most. It's why I said prosecuted and didn't go with punished. 

Do you think there's any risk associated with reveling weaknesses in an organization assigned with protecting the nation's leaders, their families, and visiting heads of state or government?

Sure there’s risk. I’m just wondering if there were actual prosecutable laws broken. If so, then yes they should be.

Any chance some of these agents were at a birthday party in Napa?
