Secret Service director revises account of his role in leak case
Washington Post ^ | October 2,2015 | Carol D. Leonnig and Jerry Markon

Posted on 10/02/2015 2:05:47 PM PDT by TroutStalker

The director of the Secret Service knew that unflattering, private information about a congressman was circulating among agency staff members before it was leaked to the news media, contrary to an earlier statement made to federal investigators, according to two government officials briefed on the investigation.

Director Joseph P. Clancy this week alerted investigators that he was revising his account, the officials said. He said he now remembers being told by a top deputy, a week before the information was published, that the agency had rejected Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) for a job as an agent, the officials said.

Previously, Clancy had told investigators that he was unaware of the information about Chaffetz — or that members of his staff were sharing it internally in violation of federal privacy law — until he was informed April 1 that The Washington Post planned to publish an article about the matter, according to a government watchdog report.

The first candidate to promise guarantee that he will pursue criminal indictments against the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats (includes the Clintons) and their ideological issue -- especially the Number One radical, psycho spoiled brat, Barack Hussein Obama, occupying the buildings on the Beltway Campus -- has my vote.

Hardly the first my FRiend and it is International.

Do we all really think poor Janet Yellen fell ill because she works so hard stealing money...

No, she got an offer she could not refuse, a warning shot as the devious tapestry they were weaving dissolves in their hands..

They are panicking, no real cohesion in messaging whether network driven or from the White house...

Any Republican candidate who accepts SecServ protection befor Jan 20, 2017 is crazy.

He/she should openly reject it and tell the country why...this is Baraq’s intel squad.

Earnest added that the service’s initial response to this report is an indication that “there is strong leadership in place at the Secret Service.”

Well, that’s a relief!
We all know Josh wouldn’t lie like a damn bear rug; I mean, we know Jarrett wouldn’t tell him to hoss his freight out before the cameras and tell the country that the Secret Service isn’t just another rudderless, corrupt Obama pustule responsive only to direct orders from the WH to do `favors’/political dirty deeds for its friends, whomever they might be.

Kneel! Kneel before your government employee masters, you filthy taxpayer! Bring them fragrant offerings of bonuses and bribes lest they strike you down!

There sure is a lot of corruption going on out there in this “transparent” regime. A lot of morons taking “the Fifth” too! Corruption is bad but it is really bad when it occurs in the government. That crap gets people killed.

I got caught, so I am revising my account. I hope that everyone will ignore the lies and corruption that I was directing. I did it to advance the cause of my dear leader, Barack Insane Omaha. Nothing to be concerned about.

Yeah, I really hate Chaffetz now that I know he applied for a position at Secret Service and wasn't selected. /s

This info was supposed to hurt him? Not too smart on the ole cost-benefit analysis front.
