This may be a silly question, but why would the Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting the President of the United States, be investigating door theft at Home Depot?
The Secret Service was originally created to investigate counterfeiting currency, they only started Presidential protection after McKinley was assassinated. Combating financial fraud remains part of their mission today.

I actually thought this must have been a “typo” in the article.
He was charged was wire fraud. That’s basically the Secret Service’s THING.
Don’t do wire fraud. Anything else is pretty fine. The moment the fraud goes over wires, you’re ultrafucked.
Its original mandate was investigating financial fraud. Presidential protection came later and has always been in addition to their original mandate.
