The disruption at the Hay-Adams in May involved Ignacio Zamora Jr., a senior supervisor who oversaw about two dozen agents in the Secret Service’s most elite assignment — the president’s security detail. Zamora was allegedly discovered attempting to re-enter a woman’s room after accidentally leaving a bullet from his service weapon. The incident has not been previously reported.

#In a follow-up investigation, agency officials also found that Zamora and another supervisor, Timothy Barraclough, had sent sexually suggestive emails to a female subordinate, according to those with knowledge of the case. Officials have removed Zamora from his position and have moved Barraclough off the detail to a separate part of the division, people familiar with the case said.

#An attorney for Zamora and Barraclough also declined to comment on the allegations or the Secret Service’s internal inquiry.

#“We have always maintained that the Secret Service has a professional and dedicated workforce,” Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said in a statement, referring to the Hay-Adams incident. “Periodically we have isolated incidents of misconduct, just like every organization does.”

#Donovan added that “we work diligently with our Office of Professional Responsibility and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General” to resolve such cases “appropriately and quickly.”

Just how did he manage to lose a bullet from his gun?

“Periodically we have isolated incidents of misconduct, just like every organization does.”

They just transfer people who do bad things, like public schools used to do with child molester teachers, just pay off a family and transfer them to a new school district.

According the Secret Service’s internal findings, Zamora was off duty when he met a woman at the hotel’s Off the Record bar and later joined her in her room.

quoted soon after the incident, the agent did not say "You mean it was on the record?"

Getting his own protectors. Probably from Farrakhan’s squad.

Just how did he manage to lose a bullet from his gun?

The review found that Zamora had removed ammunition from the chamber of his government-issued handgun during his stay in the room and then left behind a single bullet. He returned to the room when he realized his mistake. The guest refused to let him back in. Zamora identified himself to hotel security as a Secret Service agent.

Prior to clearing your gun, always clear your weapon.

“The guest refused to let him back in.”

Sounds like a performance issue.

[SoldierDad]

Not passing the smell test.

[Pan_Yan]

Praetorian guard ping?

[Boonie]

Nope...More than likely they are friends with the ex-agent who is running for Congress and speaking out against Obama....

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Part of the purge.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Yep...

The “enemy” paying the price.

Wonder when they will change to oath of office from “constitution” to “barrack hussein obama”....

[colorado tanker]

But Thelma Lou wouldn't let me back in to get my bullet!

[tet68]

Zamora, why does that name sound familiar.
Hillary’s security detail ? Don’t remember.

The hooker became concerned when she saw the dumbass had a firearm so he unloaded it to ease her fears. That wasn't sufficient and she eventually asked him to leave. He did but then remembered he left the bullet.

When he returned for it, she wouldn't let him in so he went to one of the supervisors in the lobby who ultimately had to go to the room and retrieve it............LOL!
