New book: Being assigned to Hillary Clinton’s Secret Service detail “a form of punishment”

There’s no worse assignment for a Secret Service agent than protecting Hillary Clinton, if claims in a controversial new book are to be believed.

Ronald Kessler’s book, “First Family Detail,” is filled with salacious revelations about the secret personal lives of the nation’s most high-profile political leaders.

“She is so nasty to agents that being assigned to her detail is considered a form of punishment,” Kessler told “Top Line” of Clinton.

“It shines a light on her character,” Kessler said. “She claims to be a champion of the little people, and she's going to help the middle class. And, in fact, she treats these people around her, [who] would lay down their lives for her like sub-humans; and I think voters need to consider that.”

The second-worst Secret Service assignment is Vice President Joe Biden, Kessler said.

Col. Buzz Patterson said he observed the same thing in his book, “Dereliction of Duty.” Bill, for all his many faults, was cordial to the SS details. But, EVERYONE hated the Ubershrew. Assignment to her was worse than Hell.

Media Splatters is jumping on this one, calling Kessler “discredited” sans a shred of evidence; and The Weak is citing so-called “weird inaccuracies” (i.e more Marc Ambinder agitprop).

I believe “Dereliction of Duty” is where I read the following story:

Hillary told a SS agent to bring her bags into the White House and he responded that it wasn’t his job to carry bags but to protect her. She responded with, “If you want to keep you f’ing job you’ll carry the bags!”

PIAPS forbade White House staff to make eye contact with her.

She’s a mean, arrogant, condescending shriveled up old hag. And she wants to be president. The media gonna have to dress her up real good and make a sweet, kind grandmother out of her.

I read patterson’s book. I think it’s the other way around. She hates them. They are professional. He was not whining. He was describing her. She was. On to the senate at that time

The only worst job in Washington is waiting for, then driving Queen Sheila Jackson Lee 2 blocks to work.

The inside details of the Obama White House should be a best seller.

Sorry but IMO the Secret Service guys should all be banned from tell all books, they can be called to testify under oath but page 6 stuff should be against their employment agreements. (it might be - anyone know?)

I don’t doubt Kessler’s claims in this book/report. The real Hillary must be maddening to have as a “boss”. Can you imagine having to watch daily TV videos of Hillary departing Air Force One, “saluting” to her escort service? Talk about a daily barf bag. It’s tough enough with the current POTUS.

Disagree conditionally. They know things we need to know but rarely find out from a “free” press that worships the hildabeast. If that element of the system worked, then I would agree with you.

I am sure that professionalism would dictate that normal events should just be kept under wraps. But, the Clintons....and especially the Obamas.......have much to hide, and it is patriotic to disclose this for the sake of the country. A president should not have things to hide that are so terrible that it would be harmful to the security and safety of the nation’s citizens. The Clinton’s and the Obama’s do.

No matter the politics, I can’t think of any other president who has wanted to deliberately harm the country except for Obama, but Hillary would also try to do her best to do so if given the chance.

A friend of a friend that I used to play Sunday no-pads full contact football with took a job with the Secret Service. This was about 10-12 years ago... he was assigned to the Hillery Detail... poor guy. When asked about it, he was very tight-lipped, but you could just tell from his body language that it was absolute Hell.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!

With most recent administrations, that's the only thing worth looking forward to.

Besides, if it agonizes the White Sasquatch that much, she can sue them for...

For...

For...

For...

For...

I've got it!

Violation of the ADA statutes!

That's the ticket.

At this point, what freakin' difference does it make?

Well the ‘revelations’ in this book border on personality traits which is exactly why there should be silence from the Service. If the details had to do with law breaking then maybe, but as I said that’s a matter for the courts. It is a slippery slope to allow these agents to profit from their time in service no matter if the press investigates or not.
