This morning on @CNN, I joined Audie Cornish to discuss the misconduct investigation involving three @SecretService communications officials. While much remains unknown, I discussed why the agency’s swift response matters: protecting institutional credibility, accountability & public trust.

Kristen is an excellent reporter who asked a good question, to which the president gave a fulsome answer. You know what’s disgusting and inhumane? Bringing her perfect children into this.
.@KristenhCNN: Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling.

For anyone looking for their next TBR I highly recommend ‘The Protector’s Edge’ by @Ronin_6, @fred_burton , and Jonathan Wackrow. Great insights on the intersection of security, risk and intelligence, and leadership at every level.

As we get closer to the release of The Protector’s Edge, we are honored to share that Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Giles Hill wrote the foreword to the book. As authors, we consider having Hill pen the book's foreword significant because he brings uncommon credibility at the intersection of leadership, operational risk, crisis management, and global security. Hill is not simply endorsing the book as a senior security figure. He has led in some of the most complex operating environments in the world, including senior British Army and NATO roles, and now serves as Head of Global Security Services at International SOS. His career reflects the very themes The Protector’s Edge is built around: disciplined judgment, clarity under pressure, strategic leadership, and the responsibility to protect people in uncertain environments. His foreword gives the book a powerful validation from someone who has lived the realities of command, crisis, and consequence. It signals that the book’s message is not theoretical. It is grounded in experience and applicable to leaders who must make decisions when risk is real and the stakes are high. On behalf of Chuck and Fred, I am honored to have Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Giles Hill as part of this remarkable project.
