‘Now I’m pissed’: Secret Service agents outraged by White House spin over ‘first dog’ bites
nypost ^ | 4/13/2022 | STEVEN NELSON

Secret Service agents were outraged last year by the White House’s attempt to downplay bite injuries caused by then-first dog Major — even trying to get President Biden to personally pay for a damaged coat, newly released documents show.

Secret Service leaders also sought to keep attack details out of official paperwork — at one point rejecting an agent’s “excessively detailed” account to avoid upsetting the first family — after Major bit agents on eight consecutive days.

The records, released in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch, show that attacks occurred both earlier and later than previously known.

They also show internal discord at the Secret Service, which has been embroiled since last week in a bizarre infiltration scandal that involves at least four agents.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged just one biting incident at a briefing on March 9, 2021, saying that one day earlier, “the first family’s younger dog, Major, was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual.”

The March 8 bite actually was the final attack in an eight-day streak and the injured agent — whose injuries were categorized as “severe” by a colleague — fumed about Psaki’s spin.

“NO I didn’t surprise the dog doing my job by being at [redacted] as the press secretary just said! Now I’m pissed,” the agent wrote to a co-worker.

[[What were the details which were considered “excessive” I wonder.]]

“The dog drew blood”

“These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog, Major.”

Your wrong.

Democrats believe dogs are voters and some do.

Democrats believe Republicans should never own voters.

Should have called the local dogcatcher and let them deal with it. “Possible Rabid Dog...could you check??”....and hope that some trigger happy cop accompanied him or her to dispatch the dangerous dog.

Hey, you’d take a bullet for the putz so what’s the big deal with a few dog bites?

The SS agents should have resigned over the illegal Biden junta, but they chose to serve as its Praetorian Guard. I don’t care if they’re bitten by a dog.

If a “regular” person had this dog, he’d bitten people (say neighbors, delivery people, even family) as Major did & it was reported to the appropriate authorities, it’s very likely he would be declared a “dangerous dog” with specific requirements( fencing, signs, other measures) to keep the dog. It’s also possible the dog would be euththanized. Specifics depend on local laws - they do vary.

The reporters and editors didn’t cover Hillary treating staff like dirt. They didn’t cover Biden treating them like dog food either. Had it been Trump, it would have been front page news for days and repeated for years. The reporters and editors are scum.

I was accidentally bit by one of my dogs. Two of them got into a fight and I grabbed one by the collar while the other was lunging for his neck. He bit my forearm and his teeth went to the bone. I almost went into shock. Both dogs stopped fighting and the one that bit me by accident rolled over on his back and was nudging my foot and whimpering. I would be beyond pissed off if I was bitten by a dog that had a history of biting others EIGHT DAYS IN A ROW.

The Bidens are pure white trash. The whole f-ing lot of them.

They have surpassed the Clintons.

Did you forgive him? Did the dogs ever fight again? (You didn’t say, but I’m assuming you healed up A-OK)

One of the details included “the truth”, which had to be removed. “The truth” was deemed excessive.
