Ousted Secret Service chief was 'sandbagged' by 'p***ed off agents who had had enough' of her
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] - A former Secret Service agent told MailOnline that rank-and-file thought Julia Pierson 'was a joke from Day One'
- Pierson enraged the rank-and-file when she reduced security measures during the US-Africa Leaders Summit so traffic wouldn't be affected
- Secret Service supervisor said 'she doesn't know anything about security planning in a post-9/11 world'
- Another said she discussed making the elite corps that guards the president and his family 'more like Disney World' and 'more friendly'
- She shrunk the White House's countersurveillance force and reduced numbers of uniformed agents who guard the mansion's perimeter
- 'Cutting down the size of the White House perimeter detail was a morale-killer and I think it came back to bite her,' he said
