3. This kind of call could be interpreted as disrupting the operation of the secret service

But please go at it. I don't think screwing around with the secret service is a wise move

They are hardly set up to handle an influx of complaints about Donald Trump. Do you want to start an online petition too? They are already understaffed, overworked, and underpaid.

I can assure you they all let out a collective "Ah FUCK", when this jackass spouted this remark. Their job just got harder because there are indeed loons in this country who will probably heed Donald's call to arms against Hillary. They are well aware of what just happened and they are more concerned with keeping her and Bill safe now than answering silly phone calls.

They don't need this.

The secret service is already aware of the issue, and a few hundred people wasting their time is not going to help things.

Think about what the agents protecting Clinton must think. Their job just got harder and they personally are more in danger. If I was one of Trump's Secret Service agents, I'd pull that POS aside and tell him to knock it the fuck off.

Don't waste their time and phone lines.

Several teams of armed highly trained men surround the candidates 24/7. They've got this.

They are some of the best trained, hardest working professional agents I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

You're messed up if you think they are behind a threat to Hillary.

They are not a polling outfit. They do not choose what action to take depending on whether there are 100 calls for one tip or 100,000.

The agents were there. They heard it live and in person.

24. Secret Service 'aware' of Trump's 2nd Amendment remark about Clinton

WILMINGTON, N.C., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Secret Service could potentially take a step unprecedented in American political history -- investigate one of the candidates it is assigned to protect.

The agency said it is "aware" of a remark made by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at a North Carolina campaign stop on Tuesday, which appeared to some a thinly-veiled quip about threatening Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with gun violence.

You know they're wanting to anyway, that's why the own guns. (or so I keep reading from the banner types)
