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.

Left her news conference early yesterday do to a coughing attack and now had to leave the 911 Memorial do to a “feinting” spell. She is in terrible health.
Correct me if I'm wrong but a woman never gives up her purse to another woman unless the situation is dire.
LOL. Bill’s nose is about ready to either explode or fall off.
Bad optics.
They are not aimed at dealing with old, sick people who are obviously incapable of doing much more than play bingo.
Why des she even have a SS Detail?
Who would want to hurt her?
The whack jobs who Assassinate People are Lefty’s and Hillary is not a Kennedy Democrat, she is a Karl Marx Democrat.
Besides, she seems to be a danger to herself.
Obama is gong to drop Hillary Clinton like a bad habit. All you Liberal, Democrat, low lifes can figure that one out!!!
They should install lifting hooks so they can hoist her azz around easier
Medical emergencies tend to cause normal standard operating protocols go by the wayside.
From talking with USSS folks this campaign season, it is obvious who they are rooting for.
Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a purse. She has a wallet on a chain, I’m sure.
Surprised to see this in the WAPO!
Hillary’s hand on her heart like that and her aide(nurse?) hands above and below, holding closely Hillary’s other hand make it look like they are both trying to keep some sort of tremors out of view.
.
No, she was carrying that same purse in a later photo. That was her purse.
Hillary and Dr. Diazepam: #STRONGERTOGETHER
ROTFLMAO! That's funny! At least Hillary can then have a useful accomplishement on her record.
Notice the hand pressed flat to her chest. This is how she controls the shaky hands!
Do not blame th Scret Servic for not taking Clinton to the hospital. That directive came either from Hillary Clinton herself or, her campaign stooges!!!
A black ambulance is by all definitions better than other elongated black motor vehicles associated with ...advancing age.
