Iran has a standing order to kill JD Vance.
A Biden-era agent on his Secret Service detail already got caught leaking his travel routes and real-time location to a woman on a date.
Now there's a second one – and this time the White House didn't call it a security lapse.
The Second Leak in Six Months
The unnamed agent is suspected of feeding operational details about Vance's travel plans to a left-wing media outlet – including the story that agents on his detail were fed up with last-minute family travel requests.
That story, published by MS Now in mid-July, described Vance's planned helicopter trip with his son to a golf lesson at Joint Base Andrews.
The administration said the trip was later canceled due to severe weather.
A White House official called the leaks "treasonous."

Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi confirmed the investigation: "A member of the Vice Presidential Protective Division is the subject of an administrative investigation, and potential criminal inquiry, involving allegations of compromising operational and information security."
He added that "any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated."
The FBI joined the inquiry the moment operational details about Vance's movements appeared in print.
This Already Happened Once
In January, James O'Keefe caught a different agent – Tomas Escotto – on hidden camera walking a woman he thought was a date through Vance's security setup: how agents were positioned around him, when shifts changed, where he was going next.
Escotto – a Biden administration holdover who admitted voting for Biden and told the undercover reporter he opposed Trump's immigration enforcement – sent her photographs from inside Air Force Two while Vance was aboard.

He knew he wasn't supposed to.
He told her on camera he'd signed paperwork prohibiting it.
The Secret Service pulled his clearance, cut his system access, and ordered every agent in the agency to retake anti-espionage training.
None of that was enough.
What This Means When Iran Is Watching
This isn't a personnel dispute.
A man with an active Iranian assassination contract on his head has had two people on his own security team suspected of feeding his movements to outside parties in six months.
Trump said this month he remains Iran's top target.
The Cincinnati home Vance shares with his family was attacked by an intruder with a hammer earlier this year – a man who inflicted $28,000 in damage to a Secret Service vehicle before agents detained him.
Leaking a vice president's travel schedule to a media outlet hostile to the administration is not whistleblowing.
It is a roadmap.
Anyone reading that MS Now report learned where Vance was going and when.
If a reporter can get that, so can anyone else who wants it.
Biden's People Are Still Inside the Building
One question the Secret Service has never publicly answered: how does an agent who voted for Biden, opposed Trump's immigration policies, and resented the detail's assignments stay on the vice president's protective team?

Their statements address the breach.
They never address the pattern.
Two suspected leakers on one man's security team in six months is a personnel problem.
The Biden administration embedded ideological opponents of this administration throughout the federal workforce – and some of them are still responsible for keeping the vice president alive.
The custom coins agents made mocking Vance – his Secret Service code name "Bobcat" stamped on tokens reading "Bobcat OTR Survivors Club" – tell you what some on this detail actually think of their assignment.
That's the real story.
And it's a lot bigger than one agent's administrative leave.
