WASHINGTON – Secret Service boss Julia Pierson suddenly resigned Wednesday — a day after getting hammered in Congress over troubling White House security breaches.
“Today Julia Pierson, the Director of the United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it,” said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon.
Johnson named as acting director of the troubled agency Joseph Clancy, the former Special Agent in Charge of the division that overseas protection of the president and his family.
Pierson came under intense fire over a stunning security breach Sept. 19, when armed Iraq war veteran Omar Gonzalez jumped the White House fence, sprinted across the lawn and made it past the front door and inside the White House while carrying a small knife.
Early Wednesday, powerful lawmakers from both parties called on her to go.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the Government Oversight Committee – and normally an administration defender — told MSNBC Wednesday he does “not feel comfortable with her in that position.”

Good riddance. A political hack and/or an Affirmative Action hire?
Good Bye
Well.
Bye!
We knew this was gonna happen. The heads must roll............
Perhaps she’ll just be given another high-level administration job for which she is incompetent. That seems to be the MO for 0bama appointees.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Secret Service Director Julia Pierson has resigned, Homeland Security Jeh Johnson announced.
More... she was an incompetent in an impossible position... affirmative action hire... Obama and Congress had “full faith in her” this morning ... the convict with the gun in an elevator with Obama was the last straw...
The perp.
It’s the corrupt government culture. The fish rots from the head.
Too bad her boss won’t resign.
One of the biggest problems with socialists is since they believe success is luck, that any one person can do the job of any other with the right access and training.
So they stick a hack in a position where results matter and as a result, failure occurs.
Her head resigned, but what about the rest of her?
Good now Obama can appoint another incompetent hack.
Trickle down crap administration.
Look at that stare into her eyes - one homo to another....
She had to go due to “poor optics”
in an election year.
Plus she was incompetent.
It was either resign or her head was gonna roll. And since Barry was raised a Muslim . . .
Only joking.
Then again, the last thing the leftists need is a martyr.
