Secret Service, DHS to Chaffetz: Hey, sorry about leaking your rejection
2015-04-05
[HOTAIR] House Oversight chair Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) received apologies on Thursday from both DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson and acting Secret Service chief Joseph Clancy, after a leak within the agency about Chaffetz’ own attempt to join the Secret Service. Chaffetz has become one of the most vocal public critics of the agency’s performance, and it seems as though one or more people within the Secret Service wanted to retaliate. Big mistake:
Forget the bum! We've seen him at Fornan's a time or two. Besides that, he goes to BYU football games.
Senior staffers for a House committee overseeing the Secret Service have asked the Obama administration to investigate complaints that agency employees circulated private personnel information revealing that the panel’s chairman was once rejected for a job as an agent, according to people familiar with the discussions.
He's too honest, seldom drinks or chases whores. He'll never fit in.
The committee staff referred the issue Thursday to the Department of Homeland Security after receiving whistleblower complaints that Secret Service staff at agency headquarters had circulated potentially unflattering information about Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). He has been an outspoken critic of Secret Service managers after a string of security lapses.

#3  #2 Actually, we're well past the point where the Civil Service Act should have been repealed. If the bureaucracy is going to behave as it has done for a couple of decades, we might was well just play the old game of firing everyone with a change in who's in charge. At least they'll remember who they really work for (the electorate)


This.

I'll take a Republican (or almost any non-Dem) candidate seriously when I see them address this issue, and have some specific proposals to deal with this crap.

At least they'll remember who they really work for (the electorate) and there would be far more accountability cause you could fire those who appointed/hired them.

#1  There better be people fired for cause for this, not only the low level ones, but the managers that allow such a politically corrupt environment.
