Firing a GS employee isn’t as easy as one might think. There may be a union involved. Perhaps.
Many high security jobs are not (by law) unionized. If the SS agent is unionized there if a litany of hoops that must be negotiated to get to the end state. There also may be severance negotiations etc... involved...
This was treason. The superiors, like those who
still protect Hasan, have chosen the Enemies of the USA
over the US Constitution and their Oath.
She should at least be assigned to anti-counterfeiting detail in Nome, Alaska.
Just another member of the swamp not drained. Add Andrew McCabe, all the Obama appointees in the Executive Branch and you have still a very full swamp with no hint of it being drained.
“You’re fired” can’t come quick enough!
When DJT left the stage I was one of the first people at the exit because I had a long drive home.The Secret Service had blocked the exits (SOP,I was told) so that DJT could have a clean "getaway".
I found myself waiting only a couple of feet from a Secret Service agent (coat,tie,small earpiece).I caught his attention and asked him if agents were allowed to choose who they protected.He said no.I then asked him if the stories about Hillary abusing agents were true.He didn't say a word,didn't nod,or shake,his head...but he did give a little grin.
IMO that grin was *absolutely* his way of saying "yes"...in a way that wouldn't get him fired.
One of my assignments when I was still active duty had me working with a number of former WHCA (White House Communications Agency) folks. First hand witnesses tell me that every one of the stories told about Killary and Algore were 100% true (phones thrown across rooms, order to not look at or speak to Killary, etc., etc.)
To a person, the perspective I got from them was that Bill was a nice guy (leaving aside the perpetual horniness) and Tipper Gore was nice, the remainder of the political crowd there were scary.
Go back and read the article. She is in Denver. Drug test her.
I hunted for a while with a guy that had just retired from the Army Signals. His last duty station was the Whitehouse. He wouldn’t talk about it except to say, “everything you hear is true...”. This was in the mid 90s.
Small potato(e)s. Not worth the opening it would give the left for another week’s news cycle.
Don’t worry, Sessions is right on it, that is if he is not recusing himself on this one too.
USSS director Randolph Alles needs to immediately fire this Demonicrat defective agent if he doesn’t want people to start to demand that he stand in an unemployment line for demonstrating incompetence.
No hint of the swamp being drained... In the interest of bandwidth and brevity, I provide only a smattering of the swamp clearing that has occurred on President Trump watch.
Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions asked Friday for the resignations of dozens of politically appointed U.S. attorneys held over from the Obama administration, the Justice Department said.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.
Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.
Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly fired an unprecedented number of high-level State Department employees in a major shakeup at the federal agency.
“It’s the single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory that anyone can remember, and that’s incredibly difficult to replicate,” David Wade, who served as State Department chief of staff under Secretary of State John Kerry, told the Washington Post, which first broke the story.
“Department expertise in security, management, administrative and consular positions in particular are very difficult to replicate and particularly difficult to find in the private sector,” he added.
Both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department are overhauling a slew of outside advisory boards that inform how their agencies assess the science underpinning federal policies, the first step in a broader effort by Republicans to change the way the federal government evaluates the scientific basis for its regulations.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt decided to replace half of the members on one of its key scientific review boards, while Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is “reviewing the charter and charge” of more than 200 advisory boards, committees and other entities both within and outside his department. EPA and Interior officials began informing current members of the move Friday, and notifications continued over the weekend.

Interior Dept. announces plans to offer buyouts
The Department of Interior has joined the Environmental Protection Agency and State Department in announcing plans to offer separation incentives as part of efforts to reduce its workforce.

The Department of Interior has joined the Environmental Protection Agency and State Department in announcing plans to offer separation incentives as part of efforts to reduce its workforce, Government Executive reports.
According to the report, the agency is planning to eliminate more than 6 percent of its workforce—more than 4,000 employees—in fiscal 2018.
The agency will do so with a combination of attrition and separation incentives, and might also consider other actions depending on attrition rates and acceptance of the incentives, the report notes.
Trump Replaces Acting Director of Immigration Enforcement
by Alex Johnson
President Donald Trump replaced the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday night, shortly after he fired the acting attorney general, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed.
Unlike the firing of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, the replacement of Acting ICE Director Daniel Ragsdale came with no explanation. Ragsdale was replaced by Thomas Homan, ICE’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations since 2013.

How about guarding the basement at the White House. the midnight to 7 AM shift 5 days a week.
Don’t forget Juneau...the rain and gray weather AND the limited access would be a tough nut.
Another agenda over country swamp rat.
She should be cleaning toilets in the White House.
Firing a GS employee isn’t as easy as one might think.
***********
That is absolutely true. There is also a reluctance and/or fear about firing anyone out of a concern about what they or their sympathetic co-workers might know or say about those in power (i.e., they might blow the whistle on the managers). Self-preservation makes managers inclined to quietly sweep problems like this under the rug.
The bureaucracy’s number one job is to protect itself.
There may be hoops to finally fire, but there aren’t really any to remove security clearance and pay while the investigation is going on. That should especially be the case when the individual blatently states she will not to her job.
