Secret Service appears to have broken protocol with Clinton’s early departure (tr)

The U.S. Secret Service appears to have broken its own protocol with Hillary Clinton's early departure from Sunday's commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at Ground Zero.

In a widely circulated video of the Democratic presidential nominee's departure from the ceremony, Clinton can be seen leaning against a security bollard and then buckling and stumbling as her security detail helps her into a black van.

According to a former Secret Service agent who reviewed the video, the detail was clearly rushing and did not expect for Clinton to leave at that time. The former agent noted that it is against Secret Service protocol for the protected individual to wait for a car to arrive. In the video, Clinton is leaning against the bollard as a black van pulls up.

It is also very unusual for a detail leader to leave the protected individual's side, as a Secret Service agent, Todd Madison, is seen doing in the video, to open the van's doors. Opening the van is the site agent's job, according to the former agent; the detail leader's proper position is next to Clinton. The agent may have had little choice given the rushed nature of the departure.

The Secret Service did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Answer: Control the number of people who know about her medical problems.

At the ER, the medical staff are not vetted. At the ER, they require your medical history and the declaration of the drugs you are taking. At the ER, they run tests and take x-rays and MRIs. In addition, going to the ER says the event was serious medically.

At Chelsea’s apartment, all those factors are controlled. You can say she was just overheated while standing still on a slightly breezy 80 degree day. You can get the drugs she needs into her and have them take effect. You can set up the convoy to Chappaqua and get her out of public view. Wonder how long she will be gone this time?

Why does the possible future President of the United States need someone to hold her hand (like a moving handrail) nearly everyplace she goes? That’s really going to impress Putin and the Chinese.

Secret Service appears to have broken protocol with Clinton’s early departure from Sunday 9/11 event

There are several reasons why this matters IMO.

1. The insiders should have known about her health issues and planned for it taking security measures into account.

2. They could have exited her without violating security protocols but that would have allowed more people to see her being carried into the van. In other words they were more concerned about politics and fewer people seeing the damage than they were about security protocols.

3. When Hillary's team acts like this was no big deal ... our side can say -- apparently Hillary's Clinton's team thought it was a big deal or they would not have violated security protocols in a rushed attempt to get her out of there.

That’s a completely different vantage point than the first video. I wonder how many are out there.

Interesting the van had left and had to be called back when her problem developed. They didn’t expect it. I suspect whatever treatment she’s receiving wore off sooner than expected..so perhaps the disease, or whatever it is, is progressing.

She might have snorted a line or two beforehand to be able to go to the memorial but when it wore off, her blood pressure plunged, after her heart's been racing on the coke, and she almost passes out. Wobble legs, buckling knees and all.

There is something serious wrong. Some malady or disease or medication problems trying to keep up with the demanding scheduling of campaigning for president.

Oh, I forgot. Her schedule is not demanding. She's in hiding and napping, resting up for the debate with Mr. Deplorable himself.

I hope for her health's sake and for the sake of the American people, she gets out of the race before she kills herself. Seriously, she looks like she's really pushing the envelope on whatever it is she has, just in order to be wheeled across the finish line strapped to a refrigerator dolly , so she can die with the mantle of first lesbian president.

Not the SS, but if they can find the NYPD “white shirt” who is right by the van’s door as she is placed in the van, well he is not bound by any SS rules or protocols.

I agree. Something is very fishy. That SS agent just stood there. Shouldn't he be scooping her up? Falling on her, to the ground, in case a suicide bomb vest went off? Will the press explore who the little girl was ... b/c a photo will emerge somewhere posted by the fam

I think as this was so rush-rush they had to use a white kid, couldn't get a black kid at the last minute

The Secret Service spokesman said, “It’s a secret.”

I didn't catch that with the purses. I'm surprised she carries a purse. I'm surprised a chair wasn't available. It's astounding how ill prepared they were even for what might be a minor medical situation. Not being prepared puts her at risk.

It goes to hillary's lack of judgement. She should be checking over plans to protect her, and make necessary changes.

I'd wager that if you or I had a reaction like she did, we'd be brought to the hospital for observation.

I was too.

There can’t be any more doubt that Hillary is completely delusional about her own state of health and her ability to lead. It’s time her party stopped buying-into the delusion.

Reminds me of other dying despots propped up during their last days, like Yasser Arafat, Kim Jong-il or Fidel Castro, to keep the “revolution” alive. I wonder if she will be buried in a glass coffin like Hugo Chávez and Vladimir Lenin so the leftist faithful can make pilgrimages to view the icons of their rotting ideology.

They all close in around her as she goes to the ground. The only reason was to shield her seizure from cameras. That is not their job.
