In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, much attention has been paid to the Secret Service. While there is likely much blame to go around, the idea that the agency is starved for resources doesn't hold much water.
Less than two weeks ago, a gunman took aim at former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, wounding Trump and two others and killing former Buffalo fire chief Corey Comperatore. While the Secret Service neutralized the threat within seconds, it was an embarrassment for the agency.
