"THIS IS MAR-A-LAGO!":

FBI reportedly examines yet another Mar-a-Lago security breakdown (Steve Benen, 8/26/22, MSNBC)

 The report notes that this woman -- with "a fake identity and shadowy background" -- allegedly bypassed the security at Mar-a-Lago with relative ease

The FBI has reportedly begun an inquiry into the matter, and "at least three people who live in South Florida said they have been interviewed by FBI agents in the past seven months about Ms. Yashchyshyn's activities." The Post-Gazette added:

Her entry -- multiple trips in and out of the club grounds -- lays bare the vulnerabilities of a facility that serves as both the former president's residence and a private club, and highlights the gaps in security that can take place. "That's his residence," said Ed Martin, a former U.S. Treasury special agent who spent more than two decades in criminal intelligence. "She shouldn't have been in there."

A club guest told the newspaper, "What I'm trying to understand is how did they allow this? How could someone keep coming back -- at that level? This is Mar-a-Lago."

Well, yes, and therein lies the point.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who actually chaired the Senate Homeland Security Committee for six years, downplayed the seriousness of Trump's scandal last week because, as the Wisconsinite put it, Mar-a-Lago is "a pretty safe place" and "a secure location."
