4 top Secret Service executives told to leave their posts in agency shake-up

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.

Just think, this jackass cares so little about his own daughters’ safety that he won’t assign competent agents to protect them.

Any person in that dept swore negligence by their presence. Their entire JOB is to take a bullet for the guy if needed. One cannot be more devoted than that. It is impossible.

I don't know but I look forward to the books.

If only we had a shakespeare in our time to dramatize the backroom goings-on.

They refused to take an oath, in the Islamic style?

They refused to say the words, "Barack, blessed be is name..."

With the likes of more Muslims taking Security positions as this guy recently appointed by Pelosi to a top Position and sworn in....their currently trying to get some of his stuff off the internet so I'm bringing these here....

Rep. André Carson has attracted suspicion for his public statements, including a 2012 Islamic Circle of North America convention where he said America's schools should be modeled after Qur'anic madrassas......

Carson said that .....'America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the Qu'ran.'... 'And that model that we are pushing in some of our schools meets the multiple needs of students.'.......

....Moments later 'he warned undercover law enforcement'.. skulking around the event... 'Allah will not allow you to stop us.'.........(Voters sent him to Congress in a 2008 special election following the death of his grandmother, +who held the seat before him.+ generational appointments)

Congressman Andre Carson addressing the Sikh congregation

And here at another..

Standing just behind Pelosie and her varmets

U.S. Muslim Brotherhood Political Party Financially Supports Congressman André Carson....Here's Carson the Muslim American Society MAS-Inca Dinner with Salah Sarsour and Jamal Suhweel... in Obama’s hometown of Chicago from 25-28 Dec. Carson has received financial donations from 'Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations' ever since he was first elected to the House of Representatives in a special election in early 2008 2014.....and people still don't see what's happening with these moves happening in WAshington by ISlam.

Note: What Carson is speaking on at this Muslim Brotherhood Event.

Unless the five are Russian spies, only a moron does something like this 6 days before the State of the Union. That is the biggest preplanned op the Secret Service runs.
