In rush to correct screwups, Secret Service assigning new officers without security clearances

How badly the Secret Service was being run

You’ve got problems. You’ve got a guy jumping the White House fence, running up the steps and actually making it to the stairway that leads to the residence - with a knife on him. That’s a problem. You’ve got a drunk agent crashing into a White House barricade. You’ve got prostitutes in agents’ hotel rooms . . . yeah, you’ve got problems, Secret Service.

So you get a new director. OK. You pretty much had to do that. And then you start hiring a bunch of new agents as quickly as you can, because hey, they’re not the old agents. And that has to be better, right?

I don’t know if you’ve thought of this, but the nature of their job puts a lot of Secret Service agents in a position to see and hear very sensitive, classified information. That being the case, before you can take an assignment like that, you’re supposed to get security clearance. Given the problems the agency has had of late, you’d think this would be a no-brainer for the new boss - something you’d make sure didn’t get overlooked lest you invite a bunch of new problems on top of the old.

I care about the property not the occupant.

Lets see he has P1SSED off the LEO’s and most of the SS are a bunch of drunk sluts and for some reason this POS in the whitehut is still breathing air!

Strange times we live in.

Caligula found he could not trust the Praetorian Guard in the end.

Eventually, the Praetorian Guard took on a power that rivaled or sometimes exceeded that of the Emperor himself, opposing or sometimes deposing those Emperors who failed to act in a politically acceptable manner.

What’s the rush? Obama still has many months to serve.

Crikes! At this point just get rid of all of them and hire Gavin DeBecker. Outsource the whole thing to a professional who can at least keep his guys sober.

The new agents only have to meet der leaders documentation. Since that is nothing they will have to leave when he does.

**** “I care about the property not the occupant.” ****

Yep ... and it still strikes me as odd that the resident needs to be protected by SS with a “Security Clearance”

If Obama had ever been scrutinized for a “Security Clearance” it never would have been granted.
