Even the Secret Service has imbibed the poison of partisanship. She admits she's a Hilliary supporter. She must be fired.
ZitatThe Washington Examiner has a scoop on a Secret Service agent who wrote a Facebook post saying she wasn’t prepared to take a bullet for Trump. In the same post, she endorsed Hillary Clinton despite knowing that doing so could violate the Hatch Act:
Kerry O’Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Denver district, oversees coordination with Washington-based advance teams for all presidential candidate and presidential trips to the area, including all upcoming or future trips by the president, vice president or Trump administration officials…
"In one Facebook post O’Grady wrote at 11:07 p.m. on a Sunday in October, she endorsed Hillary Clinton and said she would endure “jail time” rather than “taking a bullet” for what she regarded as a “disaster” for America.
The post didn’t mention Trump by name but clearly referred to him."
O’Grady wrote the following to her followers on Facebook, among them other Secret Service agents:
Zitat"As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quiet and skirt the median. To do otherwise can be a criminal offense for those in my position. Despite the fact that I am expected to take a bullet for both sides. But this world has changed and I have changed. And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her."
Zitat Even the Secret Service has imbibed the poison of partisanship. She admits she's a Hilliary supporter. She must be fired.
yup ... if she won't do her job she ought to be FIRED
This is one of those odd moments where we probably should say, "Well, thanks for letting us know!"
And then ask "So do you have any other ideas for employment?, because you're not working here anymore!"

Secret Service Agent Under Investigation For Trump Comments
By RACHEL STOLTZFOOS, 01/25/2017
The Secret Service is investigating a senior agent who indicated on Facebook that she would rather go to jail than take a bullet for President Donald Trump.
The Washington Examiner first reported on the posts from special agent Kerry O’Grady, who is in charge of the Secret Service’s Denver district. In multiple posts leading up to the election, O’Grady made her disdain for Trump and support for Hillary Clinton ultra clear, possibly violating a provision of the Hatch Act which bans most federal employees from engaging in political activity.
“As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act,” O’Grady wrote in an October post. “So I keep quiet and skirt the median. To do otherwise can be a criminal offense for those in my position. Despite the fact that I am expected to take a bullet for both sides.”
She continued: “But this world has changed and I have changed. And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her.”
The Secret Service told The New York Times they are aware of the incident and are taking “quick and appropriate action” to resolve the matter, although the service did not indicate what action that might be.
O’Grady appears to have deleted her Facebook account, and told The Washington Examiner the post was an emotional reaction to Donald Trump’s lewd comments regarding women in a now infamous leaked tape. She repeatedly stated her views would not get in the way of her job to protect Trump as the president. Her role involves coordinating with Washington-based Secret Service teams for all presidential candidate and presidential trips to her area in Denver.
In a late November post captured in a screenshot, O’Grady wrote: “We are moving our civil rights into a period of bigotry, misogyny and racism that this country has not tolerated for decades. Dark ages. I am horrified and dismayed beyond words.”
But she told The Washington Examiner in a statement published Tuesday: “I serve this country with pride and I proudly diligently and fiercely protect and support the institutions and pillars of our republic established by the very same document that allows my free expression. I do so with every fiber of my being for the very reason that those institutions are in place to guarantee my right and the rights of all our citizens to voice and express our opinions and beliefs even when and especially when those values may be contrary to those of the party in power. My devotion to mission and country is only strengthened by the fact that the founders recognize the value of dissent and the freedom to assemble and voice those opposing convictions.”

ZitatThe Secret Service has placed the senior special agent who wrote a Facebook post decrying "taking a bullet" for Trump on administrative leave while the agency investigates her social media activities.
An agency spokeswoman on Friday afternoon informed the Washington Examiner of the management action, which takes the agent off the job with pay while the investigation proceeds.
The move is a sign that the agency is taking the investigation against Kerry O'Grady, the agent who wrote the Facebook post, seriously. Critics, however, question why it took the agency three months and a report in the Washington Examiner earlier this week for it to initiate the probe.
On Wednesday night, the Secret Service announced that it was formally investigating the special agent who suggested on Facebook that she would rather endure "jail time" than take "a bullet" for Trump.
The Secret Service said its Office of Professional Responsibility, or RES, its main internal ethics entity, is investigating the matter. Joseph Clancy, the director of the Secret Service, sent an email to all employees Wednesday night notifying them of the formal probe, and asking them for "patience while the RES conducts their investigation."
