Secret Service: Reports of top-level resignations 'absolutely false'
2017-02-04
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Secret Service is denying that two senior Secret Service managers were abruptly forced to resign Thursday night.

"The report regarding the Secret Service personnel is absolutely false," an agency spokeswoman said Friday.

She referred all further questions to the White House press office, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Steve Clemons, a longtime left-wing think tank writer who now serves as the Washington editor on the lam of the Atlantic and National Journal, issued a string of tweets late Thursday night saying that at least two senior Secret Service managers were "abruptly forced to resign" and were escorted out of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the building adjacent to the White House.

Clemons suggested that the move was an effort by the Trump administration to reshuffle the agency's top leadership but stressed that that was only "speculation."

Clemons is on a plane to Tokyo and could not be reached for comment.

His tweets about an incident at the EEOB involving two Secret Service managers came a week and a half after the Washington Examiner first reported that the top agent in Denver wrote in a Facebook post she would rather face "jail time" than "take a bullet" for Trump.

Kerry O'Grady, the agent in question, explained herself saying she viewed Trump's presidential candidacy as a "disaster" for the country and especially for women and minorities.

There was Vietnam which was bad enough but then there were the hippies, the Yuppies, the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, etc. The whole country went full on bat shit crazy. We do NOT want that again."

And all that shit was started and run by democrats - leftists.

#4  Maybe the same sort of thing that would've happened had somebody bumped off the POTUS in 2009.

#3  Clyde raises an interesting point. Yes indeed, if President Trump were to be assassinated it would most likely be an inside job. Sure, there could be a lone wolf, or a known wolf, or a splodydope, or a precision planned op from a well-financed and trained group, but the odds are on someone inside -- they have the access.

The interesting point is in the response. If this terrible event were to occur it might well provoke some extreme civil unrest. The hard left prog-tards would take to the streets in jubilation, Berkeley-style. At that point I think we'd see a some significant, armed push back from fly-over land. It would become bloody very quickly. Hot-tempered people on each side would drive this forward.

And I honestly don't know what would happen after that.

#2  Indira Gandhi had Sikh bodyguards who were her State Security. When her administration gave the Orders to Indian Army General Brar to take down the Bhindrinwal Rebellion takeover of the Golden Temple in Amritsar it resulted in several Sikh deaths including Bhindrinwal. Brar was himself a Sikh, but loyal. Bhindrinwal was a Rebel and disloyal.
In my opinion a State can not tolerate disloyalty for any reason if it is to remain a State. Bhindrinwal led a sect in opposition to the State. He set up machinguns in the Amritsar Golden temple. Brar moved against him. The army won.

In retaliation, State Security Sikh bodyguards machine gunned Indira Gandhi the Head of State to death in her own garden. 30,000 Sikhs all over India were murdered in the streets by ordinary citizens in retaliation. Imagine Schumer pulled into the street and doused with gasoline, or Madonna, and set alight in a screaming mob.

If a member of the State Secret Service in the US is disloyal she should be removed. Quickly and ruthlessly. If Trump doesn't want his own Secret Service Security to shoot him in the WH Rose Garden.. word to the wise. State Security is paramount . No toleration for disloyalty.

If this is Fake News it is a warning of a vulnerability. Fix it. Make sure it is a closed matter. The Left is disloyal. Tighten Security around the President. If the President is attacked imagine 30,000 Democrats attacked one at a time all over the US and set on fire in the streets in retaliation. True, the US is NOT India. But there is no love lost at present between the Hillary and Sanders Progs and the decent Americans who elected Trump. And the US Army is loyal to the Constitution and will put down any rebellion with extreme force.

The Left will do what it thinks it can get away with. Does anyone question that?
