Julia Pierson, the director of the United States Secret Service, resigned on Wednesday amid a rush of criticism over recent White House security breaches.
"Today Julia Pierson, the Director of the United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it," said Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. "I salute her 30 years of distinguished service to the Secret Service and the Nation."
Joseph Clancy, the former special agent in charge of the presidential protective division of the Secret Service, will take over as interim director, Johnson said.
Johnson also announced the formation of an independent panel to investigate the security breaches, members of which he said would be named "shortly."
"This panel will submit to me its own assessment and recommendations concerning security of the White House compound," Johnson said.
"I will also invite the panel to submit to me recommendations for potential new directors of the Secret Service, to include recommendations of individuals who come from outside the Secret Service. I will also request that the panel advise me about whether it believes, given the series of recent events, there should be a review of broader issues concerning the Secret Service."
The panel will report its recommendations to Johnson by Dec. 15.

How nice to let her resign.
Good news, and depends on who and how experienced her replacement is!
Democrat war on women!
She gets one of those puny $100,000+++ dollar per year government pensions for life.
She’ll be treated like royalty with her government provided retirement benefits and medical care pension perks...
She won regardless of how bad of job she did.
Homeland Security Jeh (Jay) Johnson needs replaced also! I don’t trust anyone whose parents can’t spell.
The end result of Affirmative Action. Director Pierson long ago was promoted above her level of competence, in conformity with the Peter Principle. Unfortunately, most of the staff under her had also reached the end state of the Peter Principle, all having been promoted to the level of their incompetence, and there were no performing members left on the staff. Those who could do a respectable job, left a long time ago like rats from a sinking ship.
Yep, bet it was a man who was actually on duty.
Obama values loyalty far over competence...since his skinny worthless arse is on the line....maybe he pick the later....
Is it a wymen?
Looks like she(it) was appointed due to affirmative action. The “L” in LGBT is obviously more important than her competence.
No one gets to choose the name their parents give them. There are more significant things to be concerned about, no? His family is very middle class, not ghetto at all.
funny
proves original posters point......Parents are KNUCKLEHEADs, hence the kids.....makes sense to me
Exactly
See my post on the thread in breaking news

Many more comments on that thread, take a look
“there were no performing members left on the staff.”
(especially at the top)
The link I posted for you confirms that from the mouth of a former SS guy who is spilling the beans
She dedicated her life to the this job.
I bet she did and like others in the administration she just collected a check without doing her/ his job. The whole gov. works this way now so it is no wonder all this happens. This is just one of many problems.
Very few have actually resigned or been fired (if that is the right way to put it)
Why her?
Will Obama resign?
Sooooo, how come only ones to lose their jobs are the people who do something that affect The One?
