Senior Secret Service Agent Who Didn’t Want to Take ‘A Bullet’ Escaped Punishments
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 06/26/17 | Susan Crabtree

O'Grady is still on payroll, maintains security clearance and was never placed on ‘Do Not Admit’ list

The senior Secret Service agent who said she did not want to take "a bullet" for President Trump did not suffer several disciplinary actions imposed on other agents and officers for allegations of similarly serious or lesser misconduct, according to multiple sources from the Secret Service community and attorneys specializing in federal law enforcement labor and employment law.

Kerry O'Grady, the agent in question, was removed from her position as head of the Secret Service's Denver district in March amid an investigation into her pre-election Facebook comments about Trump. O'Grady remains on paid administrative leave and retains her security clearance six months after the agency first started looking into the allegations of misconduct against her.

Additionally, senior managers have never placed O'Grady on a "Do Not Admit" list—an agency-wide notification that an employee whose conduct is under investigation is not allowed access to any Secret Service offices or resources, according to two former agents.

Despite the obvious efforts to protect the agency from employees accused of serious misconduct that could pose a security threat, the sources describe the "Do Not Admit" list also as a "shaming device" and an "intimidation tool" that senior managers have inconsistently used in recent years against employees facing less-serious allegations of misconduct.

The Secret Service did not respond to inquiries about O'Grady's case and any interim disciplinary actions taken against her while she awaits a final resolution. Agency spokesmen previously told the Washington Free Beacon that federal privacy laws bar them from discussing details about her ongoing case.

It was the SS limo driver that took Kennedy out.

There used to be a short animated .jpg loop of that.
Do you remember seeing that posted here in the past?

Not a theory.

Plainly visible in the Zapruder film.

Tax cuts, and the revival of real currency was the only possible motive for anyone to take Kennedy out.

He was an enemy to the NWO gang.

Same applied to Reagan.

Nobody in his right mind WANTS to take a bullet for anybody else. So it was a truthful answer. Did she say she WOULD NOT?

Don’t recall.

There was a frame by frame of the Zapruder film that even caught the bullet in mid flight.

Can’t Trump revoke her clearance? He should fire her...but civil service laws likely prevent that.

Like Portland Oregon magistrate Monica Herranz helping an illegal alien charged with DUI escape from ICE.
Her job is to enforce the law, not to help fellow latinos evade it. Her local bar found that she did nothing wrong.

Methinks President Trump should have his own retinue of SEAL Teams.

Yes, in her own words, she said she would sooner go to jail than "take a bullet" for him. "Hatch Act be damned" she said:



"As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quiet and skirt the median," she wrote. "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."

Military officers are still pretty vulnerable. GS-15 and SES bureaucrats can be completely incompetent, dishonest, and even crime and still keep their jobs. Misuse of gov. vehicles, travel, breaking into a secure office, negotiating horrifically bad contracts, steering contracts to future employers, starting false investigations against employees, negative actions against military reservists, and the list goes on. The only demotion I have seen was a 14 that blatantly sexually harassed a secretary. He was an only demoted. Any other employers would have been fired.

Female.
The others, I'm guessing, were male.

The skirt slides.

What kind of leader is at the helm of the SS? Maybe leader is the wrong word.
