| Secret Service removes agent who didn't want to take 'a bullet' for Trump |
| 2017-03-20 |
| [WashingtonExaminer]. The Secret Service will permanently remove a top special agent from her position after an investigation into her Facebook comments that she would rather not defend President Trump or take "a bullet" from him, but some agents are concerned she will simply be transferred to another government job. Removal is too good for her. Maybe assign her to Grizzly Adams' detail? About two weeks ago, the Secret Service placed the agent's prior post -- the special agent in charge of the Denver District, the top job in that office -- on a list of agency openings, according to two Secret Service sources. Kerry O'Grady, the agent in question, is on administrative leave amid an internal Secret Service investigation into her Facebook comments about Trump. |

| #9 The Secret Service used to be respected. Lately, they've been acting like low-rent mall cops. It seems like the decline occurred after they were reorganized into DHS. |

| #8 Been watching Patriot on Amazon Prime. Well written, acted and directed. The best part is the depiction of elite intelligence agencies as the bumbling bureaucracies that they we have seen them to be. |

| #7 If you feel you can no longer do your job, the honorable thing to do is resign. The Secret Service used to be respected. Lately, they've been acting like low-rent mall cops. |

| #6 What worries me is how many others there are in her service who feel the same way, but are more discrete? |

| #3 Her comment. "As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle to not violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quite and skirt the median. To do otherwise can be a criminal offense for those in my position. Despite the fact that I am expected to take the bullet for both sides. But this world has changed and I have changed. And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe would be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside her. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her." |

| #1 Lateral transfer to the FBI no doubt. She'll be welcomed with open arms. |
