(1,730 posts)1. Um....what is the taxpayer liability exposure? We provide federal agents to protect
presidents. They are well trained and educated, and I don't recall any incidents where they overreacted and harmed an innocent civilian. Private security goons are another story. If they are employed by Trump directly, will they still be considered agents of the state if they "accidentally" kill or maim an innocent American?
