4 top Secret Service executives told to leave their posts in agency shake-up
Washington Post ^ | January 14, 2015 | Carol D. Leonnig

The Secret Service has decided to remove four of its most senior officials while a fifth has decided to retire, the biggest management shake-up at the troubled agency since its director resigned in October after a string of security lapses, according to people familiar with internal discussions.

The departures would gut much of the Secret Service’s upper management, which has been criticized by lawmakers and administration officials in recent months for fostering a culture of distrust between agency leaders and its rank-and-file, and for making poor decisions that helped erode quality.

Acting Director Joseph P. Clancy on Tuesday informed the four assistant directors who oversee the Secret Service’s core missions of protection, investigations, technology and public affairs that they must leave their posts within 30 days.

If they do not resign or retire, they can report for a new assignment with the Secret Service’s parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Did you continue on to the blog? It really is all about exposing the Democrats and while supporting Sarah.... I saw nothing at all objectional.

‘Nasty Business’ should be Google’s new name. They are going to scare people from opening those sites. In other words “control” the election by controlling the information. And they’ve got a host of college kids throughout the world brainwashed to help.

Very interesting.

At one point, I received such a notice about FR, but I don’t remember if it was from a new laptop or my iPad’s Safari software.

You’re right.

Time for anonymizers.

....”The “Silent Coup d’é·tat” continues”...

That’s exactly what is happening. I know longer need further convincing I’ve seen far to much, and the changes as they are coming together beforehand, to need further proof.

Which is why I’m not so sure this can be stopped because too many powerful in media and social networks do have control and off the radar, who are affecting tinformation getting tp people.

The same ones who elected Obama and worked behind the scenes are doing so now for this next election. Already Google Is posting warnings before conservative sites to scare people from going further...and if you continue they can track you.

They are doing this because these college kids and basement nerds working for Democrats will pile complaints to Google. Tereafter Google puts up warnings about bloggers and news sites exposing and or suppoerting what we need to know.

Wonder if Jim Robertson is aware of these google warnings being put at sites favorable to our candidates and or blogs? You should let him know, and we all should if we see one while coming here.

DAng college kids and basement erds are on the bandwagon in this next election...worldwide. Already made clear they are going to be behind the Democrate Runner and we know that will be Hillary now that her rival has been outed.

I think it’s basically a purge to get minoirites who are on board with Obama and the “coup” attempt happening to transform this country into something it isn’t....both from within and without.

Obama may be leaving but you can be certain the agenda that seeks to “take” this country is not.

Your guess may well be correct.

Someone suggested on this thread that at least one of them is being punished for denying that the WH had consulted the USSS on the wisdom of an Obamao visit to Paris for the world leaders’ protest walk against terrorism.

“However my first reaction was: They are terminated because they are patriots.”

Mine, too. Amen, Sister. Your Average Citizen Patriot can only TAKE so much!

And this makes me HAPPY! It reminds me that there ARE good people who WILL confront EVIL. :)

I, too, had a similar notice from Google about FR, and it appeared just once on a new computer. That was two or three years ago.

I believe so, and since Obama has openly stated he's now working on his legacy we can expect
his file and others to disappear into the shredder. Even the CIA is being attacked to
get control over by this Admin. The Dems never liked them anyway, they prefer the DHS-KGB
due to all the RAT operatives on the inside. And no sworn allegiance to the Flag, but to the party.

This is my opinion. And the CIA should be left alone by illegitimate hacks.

Uh, there is some pretty graphic combat video on that blog. In one instance, enemy combatants (I assume) are down, one tries to get up, and is blasted again. Fighting evil is necessary, but that doesn’t mean that watching people we are fighting, die, at our hands, is easy... This is real - not a movie and not a video game.

That said, Google’s “warning” is too general, but they probably use the same warning for many situations they receive complaints about.
