New incident at Mar-a-Lago under 'criminal investigation' by Secret Service

Source: Miami Herrald

Palm Beach police say they are conducting an “open and active criminal investigation” at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s South Florida estate, following an unspecified incident Monday night.

The Secret Service is leading the investigation and no arrest has yet been made, according to the Palm Beach Police Department.

Michael Ogrodnick, a police spokesman, declined further comment Tuesday, citing the investigation. But the department did provide a nearly completely redacted incident report showing officers were called around 7 p.m. to “assist” another law enforcement agency. The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While law enforcement officials would not discuss the nature of the investigation, Mar-a-Lago security has been breached repeatedly since Trump became president. The private Palm Beach club and mansion has witnessed several high-profile trespassing incidents.

Mar-a-Lago has been on heightened alert since Trump ordered a military strike that killed an influential Iranian general last week. Trump gave the order from the club. On Sunday, an adviser to Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, tweeted a Forbes list of Trump’s properties, including Mar-a-Lago, then followed up by saying that “We have ZERO problems with the American people ... Our sole problem is Trump. In the event of war, it is he who will bear full responsibility.”

...similar to Iraq invasion but with fewer pauses. The intention by war hawks, military weapons/war profiteers, end-timers, etc, is to escalate with greater and greater responses till Trump can claim it's defensive and just launch an assault.

He's leading us to an all out WW3 scenario with hundreds of thousands killed. Maybe he'll claim he needs Marshal Law, suspend civil rights, pause elections in the US....??

Whatever happens next we have to repeat the fact that Trump is doing all of this for politics and self-preservation, not for the security of the US, because that's the truth.

could be the truth. After the Saudi deal yesterday with the Karred,it is all about saving the Orange Anus. Saudi's did not send a high ranking Family Member to DC for Hot dogs and a cold one. They sense their Country is about to blow wide open with Civil War. That proof lies with US Troops Guarding their Oil Interests.

Amazing how Kushner shows up in both Kashoggi and Suluimoni Assassinations.

and work to convince enough Republicans that, in light of Trump's latest actions, we must use the vehicle of impeachment and conviction to get rid of Trump and his minions now.

The first step of this process has already been accomplished!!!

Let's rally the nation and convince all of our senators to do their duty to protect the future of our nation and the world.

around potus by claiming to be a marine police officer and flashed fake id.

He was finally arrested near a final checkpoint and charged with impersonating a leo, and several other violations.

No mention was made of a gun. Or even a motive. But it likely got their skivies in a shiver.

with white circles around his eyes, and straw-colored thinning hair combed in a suspiciously fake-looking swirl. He is considered a threat to national security and suspected of many high crimes and misdemeanors. Estimated at 5 foot 11 in height, but claims to be 6 foot 3."

If Trumpy Dumpy can kill someone with a drone, what's stopping Iran from killing with a drone?

If a weird marine can get into Murder-a-go-go, seems a stealth drone can get somone golfing at a nearby golf course.

tax payers, start conflicts, wars, and cause recessions...than disappear into
the shadows and pretend they were kindly old gentlemen.

we're gonna spend a shitload of money protecting that giant asshole's properties now that he's pissed off most of the world.

Congress, being the controllers of the purse strings, should charge the orange turd for every extra moment our secret service and others spend defending that asshole's capital assets and investigating incidents at them.
