Report: 65 Secret Service Agents on Hand for Hillary Clinton's Paid Speech in Canada
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a couple paid speeches in Canada yesterday. She was reportedly accompanied by 65 agents of the United States Secret Service to at least one of the events.
The agents were presumably on hand to help keep the former first lady safe.
The news of Clinton's large Secret Service contigent was reported by CJME News Talk 980, a co-sponsor of the event.
"One of the most influential women in U.S. politics will be speaking in Saskatoon Wednesday night," the outlet reported in advance of one of Clinton's address. "Hillary Rodham Clinton will be speaking at TCU Place ... Her speech will be part of the Global Perspectives series, which is sponsored by CIBC."

Well, she has gained some weight in recent years. It stands to reason it would take more agents to provide security coverage for her...
Is would be cheaper for us taxpayers to just pay her NOT to give speeches.
I’m starting to think there should be no SS protection for politicians at all.
Early Presidents didn’t have it.
It seems clear to me that the reason for this was in part due to the fact that the government had such little influence on a person’s life that it didn’t matter so much who was in office.
That’s the only way to shrink government.
Imagine how they would have to govern (and get the hell out of our lives) if they had to fear the people they purportedly represent.
Yea I know it’s a pipe dream. But it’s my pipe dream.
Why does Hillary deserve to get Secret Service protection in the first place? I know ex presidents still have Secret Service protection, but does that apply to their spouses or ex Secretaries of State?
I forget exactly how it works, but it’s something like they get two SS agents for life, if they want it. Same with the ex-Presidents, they get two at all times and if they make public appearances they get more. But like I said in another post, this bitch is doing this because of her IMMENSE ego. No doubt whatsoever she bitched, screamed and stamped her feet till she got it. She is just the most vile, most despicable piece of rat filth going, she should be in JAIL at the very least for criminally negligent homicide not going around lining her pockets while fleecing the American taxpayers,. I make it a point to boycott ANY organization that hires this bitch to give a speech or any business that gives her a cent. Did you ever read this article? A friend of mine works for the secret service, he said everything in here is true, guarding her is seen as a demotion because she is such a vile rotten bitch.....
I know ex presidents still have Secret Service protection, but does that apply to their spouses or ex Secretaries of State?....Yes it does. BUUUT, not to a SS delegation to Valerie Jarrett.
and they still can’t cover her FAT ASS!
“She should be provided 2 agents. For money making ventures she can pick up the tab on the balance.”
Bingo.
And, you know, if these progressive idgits wouldn’t p!ss off everyone and their dog by their insane policies and actions, perhaps they wouldn’t need all the protection. If they acted like normal human beings, they might be treated as such.
Maybe she’s going to run for office in Canada? Please do, Hillary....... They might need you but we sure don’t.
