Ousted Secret Service chief was 'sandbagged' by 'p***ed off agents who had had enough' of her
2014-10-03
[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

#7  Bambi thinks he's a god, AP - nothing can touch him.

So far, he's been right . . . .

#6  Once again, the O admin goes waaaayyyyy beyond the scope of the Peter Principle.

You would think that O would want the best security for himself and his family, but I guess not.

#2  The social(ist) engineers don't understand the hunting group. You look out for each others back. It's how you survive. Positions are earned and acknowledged. When some Swiftian yahoo comes in who lacks the assent of the governed group, the group doesn't bother to watch the newbie's back. If they become dangerous to the group survival, the old term 'fragged' comes to mind.

#1  'Even the female agents are constantly drawing on their inner tough-guy.......'


More difficult for some than others I'd wager.
