So on the gray, overcast, drizzly, early ride in this morning to work I was thinking about those Clinton photos. I thought to myself where is his Secret Service detail during this time.

Then I remembered, and correct me if I’m wrong, but right after Obama was elected there was a change in SS details for ex presidents. As I recall the change was that ExPOTUS would only have SS details for a certain number of years instead of the rest of their lives. I seem to recall there was discussion that the Dems did this just to get back at Bush.

But then I thought that it exempted all POTUS prior to Bush including his dad so Clinton wouldn’t have been impacted.

So during my break I did a quick dig and came up with this:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-restores-lifetime-secret-service-for-former-presidents/

Which confirms that Clinton was exempted and lifetime protection was restored in 2014. However, it went into original effect in ‘94.

So now my original question is back...where was Clinton’s SS detail during the island visit.

Was Secret Service with the photographers? Or just out of the Frame of the picture?
WERE they the photographers? .... never mind that that would have broken the rules...
