4 top Secret Service executives told to leave their posts in agency shake-up
Washington Post ^ | January 14, 2015 | Carol D. Leonnig

The Secret Service has decided to remove four of its most senior officials while a fifth has decided to retire, the biggest management shake-up at the troubled agency since its director resigned in October after a string of security lapses, according to people familiar with internal discussions.

The departures would gut much of the Secret Service’s upper management, which has been criticized by lawmakers and administration officials in recent months for fostering a culture of distrust between agency leaders and its rank-and-file, and for making poor decisions that helped erode quality.

Acting Director Joseph P. Clancy on Tuesday informed the four assistant directors who oversee the Secret Service’s core missions of protection, investigations, technology and public affairs that they must leave their posts within 30 days.

If they do not resign or retire, they can report for a new assignment with the Secret Service’s parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, according to people familiar with the discussions.

witnessing so much treason, and not being able to do anything about it.

Kennedy. Johnson. Nixon. Clinton. Big government, open borders Bush, O'dummy.

I thought embracing treason was a part of the SS job description by now.

Not surprising really, Google’s going to have their “imprint” on this next election, you can be sure of it...and it won’t be for our candidate.

I must admit I hesitated continuing to the site, which of course is what they want. There was nothing at all objectionable there.

I don’t think this Case will affect them at all.... They’ll basically ignore it as long as possible and or laugh about it. Either or the Clinton machine will certainly do what it can to make sure it doesn’t get legs for long.

Besides that Guilt by Association is difficult to do more than create a scandal of “what if’s”.

I heard a young man speak about how liberal he was throughout his college years and into his twenties...but after living “real” life and “seeing” how things really work he became a conservative.... He had to live life awhile before he saw the lies he’d been told for what they are.

Not so sure Obama will be the one to carry out the agenda to it’s desired end...but you can be sure if Hillary gets the election she will carry it out....considering her very close relationships and affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood.

....”all of the dem and pub govt elected officials should be up in arms over all of this...yet nothing....nothing at all.”....

Well a few have spoken up....Alan West has and a couple others...but it’s not enough to make a media story...and even if it was they’ll kill it ASAP.

There’s graphic video all over the net regarding any conflicts going on. So I don’t see that that is necessarily the issue for Google as much as how many complaints they get...which college student groups working for the administration Hired and otherwise) can cause a site to get many complaints and thus the warning.

There’s so much stuff on Carson and others out there....that never makes it to the MSM...and should. Can you imagine what they’re doing that’s NOT out there?

Ah... I was born in Texas, but I've been here 14 years. I've been in worse places.
