Any names or faces for these traitorous leftist scumbags? Without charges these douchebag Obots will still get their cushy federal pensions on our dime!

according to a report by reporter Steve Clemons.

Ah, well he would have sources in the other camp ...

This story (not you or your posting) stinks like a pile of fake news.

[pgkdan]

The Secret Service has been accused of slow-walking an investigation of an agent based in Denver who publicly stated she would not ‘take a bullet’ for President Donald Trump.

I wonder if that's the whole story. Someone in the WH with access to the President has been leaking lies about his actions, phone calls and discussions with his staff and advisers. Who has more unfettered access to the man than the Secret Service? Who's better placed to overhear phone calls with heads of state and discussions with advisers?

Not comforting to know—all these fired, and very angry individuals are running around loose now, and they are privy to details of the inner workings of POTUS’ security...
To me it’s disappointing to see so many FReepers assuming POTUS is some kind of omnipotent fellow who can fix all the problems by simply saying “You’re fired!”
It’s going to take a lot more—from us.

The difficult part is “firing” these CivServs and then denying their pension.

After 8 years of the Zero the swamp has to be filled with varmints. Any SS agent who won't take a bullet for ANY President needs to be fired immediately. And any SS management that would not fire that employee needs to be fired. And it is normal for most companies to escort out fired employees.

The water level in the swamp drooped a few inches overnight.

My bet is this has nothing to do with the Denver agent.

These were more than likely Obama insiders leaking info to him.

DHS loyalist ratted them out to the new Secretaty????? Hopeful!!!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

That SS agent should already be fired. The whole job is about taking a bullet.

[dila813]

forced resignation isn’t a firing, it is you did something bad enough that you know you are going to be fired so by signing you make it easier for everyone.

You don’t fire people for a reorg-you do layoffs, no, these folks did something serious.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Maybe they bugged the new phone they gave him.

[iontheball]

I’m betting these firings have something to do with the leaks of President Trump’s recent telephone calls with heads of state. There are always SS agents on the floor in the WH and Pres. Trump or staff quickly figured out that the SS was the source of the leaks.

[TomGuy]

@justintheserver @severud @SecretService no one has written anything yet. My source are those forced to resign.

Apparently, the small purge did get one or more leakers.

[kristinn]

Story updated. Reporter admits he got it wrong. No Secret Service fired. He now says it was White House cyber security officials who were forced out.

Updates appended to my article.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Apparently Obama created the Department of Information Security in 2013.

Wondering if any of those let go last night were holdovers??

I can’t find a list of the current department chiefs but in 2013 it was as follows:

Brigadeer General Gregory Towhill, Federal Chief
Grant Schneider, Acting Deputy
Tony Scott, Info Officer
J Daniel, Special Assistant to the President.

This story is now known to be unsubstantiated. See the author kristinn's post #92 for confirmation.
