Ousted Secret Service chief was 'sandbagged' by agents who thought she 'was a joke from Day One'
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 2 October 2014 | DAVID MARTOSKO

A former Secret Service agent told MailOnline that rank-and-file thought Julia Pierson 'was a joke from Day One'

Secret Service supervisor said 'she doesn't know anything about security planning in a post-9/11 world'

Another said she discussed making the elite corps that guards the president and his family 'more like Disney World' and 'more friendly'

She shrunk the White House's countersurveillance force and reduced numbers of uniformed agents who guard the mansion's perimeter

'Cutting down the size of the White House perimeter detail was a morale-killer and I think it came back to bite her,' he said

I have excerpted the title to fit. Seems like the foot soldiers rebelled against their affirmative-action appointed boss, she wanted SS to be more "Disney-like".

So either she was incompetent and the people under her saw it from day one....

Or the Secret service is sexist...

I am guessing the first was the case but the media will turn her into a victim by making up scenario #2...

She was just following the example set by our national security brains and their management of the military and intelligence forces.

“a joke from Day One”

Sounds like she was perfect for the Obama Administration. Everyone else is a pathetic joke.

This lady was a joke. The “Ushers” in the WH said the alarms are too loud so they were turned down to the point that they could not be heard. Are you kidding me? WTF!

Affirmative action is all fun and games until work needs to be done.

This is a tough call. As much as I despise Obala, public servants have a long history of trying to sabatoge anyone who even suggests that there might be room to rearrange business as usual.

Julia Pierson, another quality REMFPOG Obama appt.:
Earlier in her career, Ms. Pierson served as the Assistant Director of the Office of Human Resources and Training (HRT). In that position, Ms. Pierson was responsible for overseeing all human resource and training programs for the Secret Service. Ms. Pierson oversaw organizational policy development and strategic management of the agency’s Workforce Planning Programs, Personnel Division, Security Clearance Division and the James J. Rowley Training Center basic and operational training programs.

Out of her league, huh?

Just like the POTUS and his cabinet.

She may have been over her head when she was a parking lot attendant at Disney world. But she would have to go some extremes to disrespect the agents as much as the first family does.

Anyone who jumps the white house fence should be greeted with about 30 rounds.

Ask questions later.

Same for the southern border.
