    The man was living a double life for years and nobody caught it. Worked for a congresswoman, hired actual cops, and was a wanted felon the whole time. Wild.

    Crockett’s statement is heartbreaking. “The man we knew showed up with respect and care.” Now she’s learning everything was fake.

    Actually he had felony warrants from 2017 and was driving stolen plates. Yet he was coordinating with Dallas PD for off-duty jobs. The irony is insane.

    Bullet dodged Texas. Between this, not having a campaign manager, and telling hispanics they have a slave mentality I don’t think the General was going to be a cakewalk for her.

    > Crockett added that Robinson’s ability to circumvent the congressional system’s security hiring loopholes was a reason for U.S. Capitol Police to provide security to Congress members.

    Just a reminder that Trump revoked Kamala Harris’s security protection last year. He’d LOVE for Democrats at the capital to get harmed.

    Nobody in the process runs a social security number and do a background check? Look at an ID?

    “Crockett, who has been a member of Congress since 2023, said Robinson went by the name Mike King when he worked for her. She said her team “followed all protocols outlined by the House to contract additional security,” adding that it had been approved to hire the man it knew as Mike King.

    “The fact that an individual was able to somehow circumvent the vetting processes for something as sensitive as security for members of Congress highlights the loopholes and shortcomings in many of our systems,” Crockett said. “This is incredibly alarming, especially for those members who receive high volumes of credible and sophisticated death threats.””

  8. congress’s HR team need to pick up their act. They let a convicted felon, pedophile and rapist become president and then this

    Yikes. Somehow a background check went through just fine?
