A Denver-based Secret Service agent who reportedly suggested that she would rather go to jail than take a bullet for President Trump has been placed on administrative leave.

The Washington Examiner reported Friday that Kerry O’Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Denver district, was placed on paid leave during an investigation. Special Agent Kerry O’Grady

O’Grady reportedly posted on Facebook in October, “As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act,” O’Grady wrote. “So I keep quiet 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 a 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 to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her.”

Should have been fired already or at least transferred to Nome Alaska.

I agree with the firing part. We differ on the “or transferred” part.

Should have been fired already...

Absolutely. If you publicly proclaim that you won't do your job, then you simply shouldn't be in that job.

Gee and I thought “There’s a self satisfied smug prig”. I guess there’s room for her to be both a dude and a self satisfied smug prig.

Every one of her supervisors, going back to the day of her first assignment, should be heavily checked as well.

If she was idiot enough to blather her crap in a public format, then she’s been running her sump at work too.

There’s no way in hell she made the rank and responsibility that she had without ideologically compliant supervisors.

As your superior I hereby relieve you
of duty. Consider yourself on paid vacation.

HERMES
Oh! The ultimate penalty.

Correct! Until the heat dies down. She should have been fired yesterday. But an affirmative action can't be fired and she is totally an affirmative action.

If Donald is smart, he will have his own security. Plus he will not turn his back to a Secret Service Agent unless one of his men is behind the SS Agent.

Paid leave = vacation

That is correct. How is paid time off punishment?

Imagine going public and stating that you would rather go to jail than doing your job and getting more paid vacation time as a result.

She is affirmative action. She will be promoted once the heat goes down. And probably be moved to Washington, D.C.
