Would you rather believe U.S. intelligence agencies that said the laptop was Russian disinformation?
Wait -- who was president of the United States in May 2018?
If Hunter Biden had unauthorized Secret Service protection in May 2018, then it's a Trump administration failure.
It also would be shocking because:
1) The Trump administration leaked like a sieve.
2) Joe Biden was known to be a likely potential presidential candidate in 2020, so why would Trump officials not know Hunter received unauthorized Secret Service protection?
3) Hunter Biden with Secret Service agents would've attracted attention. *Somebody* would've known about that.
4) Why is this unauthorized Secret Service protection coming out now? Joe Biden announced his presidential candidacy 2 years ago?
It doesn't make sense.
When Trump became president, there were five former living presidents and five former living first ladies.
All of them had presidential details.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have Secret Service protection.
George W. Bush and Laura Bush have Secret Service protection.
Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have Secret Service protection.
George H.W. and Barbara Bush had Secret Service protection.
Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter have Secret Service protection.
Then the Secret Service had to protect all of President Trump's children, their spouses and grandchildren.
Don Jr. and his then-wife and kids had Secret Service protection.
Eric Trump and his wife and kids had Secret Service protection.
Ivanka Trump and Jared and their kids had Secret Service protection.
Tiffany Trump had Secret Service protection
Barron Trump had Secret Service protection.
At one point, Kellyanne Conway had Secret Service protection.
So you're telling me: That amid all those numerous Secret Service details, the Secret Service had enough resources to protect Hunter Biden while not protecting Joe Biden?
And you're telling me this is all the Trump administration's fault?
Make it make sense!
If you have a Secret Service detail, you have to be protected for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and everywhere you go. That's a lot of resources.
I have no idea the size of non-presidential Secret Service details.
But for perspective on a non-presidential detail, this is a picture of George H.W. Bush with his Secret Service detail a few years before he died.
