referring back to my WWE comment. It now transpires that, unlike previous years, the Secret Service DID NOT organise the security arrangements for this dinner.

The big question is WHY NOT? Especially when DJT was there, JDV (it looks like he was with Kirk's widow rather than his own wife) was there, Hegseth was there...

It reeks of a setup. We'll probably never know if it was. Just as with "eargate".
