Senior Secret Service agent suggests she wouldn't take 'a bullet' for Trump
By Susan Crabtree (@susancrabtree) • 1/24/17 12:58 PM
A senior U.S. Secret Service agent posted Facebook condemnations of President Trump during the past seven months, including one in which she said she wouldn't want to "take a bullet" for him.
She explained herself saying she viewed his presidential candidacy as a "disaster" for the country, and especially for women and minorities.
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.

If true she signed her retirement papers at the very least!
-
And so ends a less that stellar career for Ms O'Grady?
Hatch Act restrictions, including these two rules:
May not post a comment to a blog or a social media site that advocates for or against a partisan political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group.
May not use any email account or social media to distribute, send or forward content that advocates for or against a partisan political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group.

Hopefully.

Fire her ass.

If she wouldn't take a bullet for the US President..... then what 'else' would she be willing to not do or do that goes against everything that entails ""her job""? That is the question that now needs to be asked...
and dealt with accordingly.

Also her transfer papers to a caribou counting station in Alaska.

Bye
I have a friend that was a Secret Service Agent with the Treasury Dept., before it transferred to Homeland Security in 2003. I intend to ask him about this agent, speaking out this way.
I am fairly certain she is way out of bounds. How she got to supervisory level, with such crappy judgment might indicate affirmative action, or something like that.
I know another guy that was a photographer assigned to the Clinton white house detail. He still keeps "mum" about what he saw there.
-
Fire her.
Now.

He kept his cool, but kept him safe.

My dad was in the Army 1950's and worked with the atomic testing (not a scientist). He vetted people working on the project. Knew who, what companies outside vendors were involved what and where. Saw numerous atomic blast.
The gov't made trips to see him about every 5 years to remind him he was still under oath until the early to mid 80's when it stopped when I figure most of the guys were dead or retired.

It wouldn't happen to be Bob McNeely would it?

Fire her.
Now.
The secret service is chartered with protecting the president.
This brainstem says she wouldn't protect this president.
Case closed.
-

No. My friend was a enlisted soldier, assigned to the WH detail, travelled and took photos.
He is now a professional photographer, graphics guy. Very good. Paid well to provide services to a big real estate office, dealing in luxury priced properties. He is all about work, not politics.
As I stated, he keeps "mum" about what he "saw." I have never pressed him. I know him well enough to know, pressing him would be futile.

Yep.
She might as well say, "I'm not qualified for the job. Get rid of me."
Stupid.

Someone needs to be told "You're fired".

Methinks she has her retirement papers printed and ready to submit.

This is pretty incredible and it goes to show the extent to which Obama has politicized the civil service and made acting in a blatantly partisan way SOP. We saw a hint of this transformation when career IRS employees willingly went along with an effort to target conservative non-profits. But this is just too much:

What demonstrates the management climate in the Secret Service is now heavily partisan is that she felt so comfortable with her politics that she posted it on Facebook, where her federal employment is obvious:

You can say that again. There are probably still some old Commie Pinkos around from the Johnson administration.

I suspect that it has already started at the Pentagon and will be coming soon to the Department of State!

That part in this case is irrelevant. What is she's in a field office or on the advance team that goes ahead of the POTUS to set up security where he's visiting?
Would you want her making sure everything is safe for you with that kind of attitude?

I was criticising the overdramatic headline - guess two threads got merged.

Washington (CNN)The Secret Service said Tuesday it is taking "appropriate action" after one of its agents suggested on Facebook that she would not defend President Donald Trump should someone try to shoot him.
Kerry O'Grady, a senior agent in the Denver field office, made a series of now-deleted postings on Facebook during the campaign saying that she supported Democrat Hillary Clinton and that she would not honor a federal law that prevents agents like her from airing their political beliefs publicly. O'Grady deleted the posts shortly after The Washington Examiner reported them on Tuesday.
"As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quiet and skirt the median," she wrote in one Facebook post, as reported by the Examiner. "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," she wrote.
The Secret Service said in a statement Tuesday that it could not comment on a specific personnel matter but that it was "aware of the postings and the agency is taking quick and appropriate action."
"All Secret Service agents and employees are held to the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct," the agency said in a statement. "Any allegations of misconduct are taken seriously and swiftly investigated."
The postings were on O'Grady's personal account, noted a person familiar with the matter, but said the agency is trying to determine if she posted the information while she was working.
Reached on the phone, O'Grady on Tuesday declined to comment to CNN on the postings.
The person familiar with the matter told CNN that Secret Service officials are extremely disappointed with what the agent did, especially because the agency did a lot of good work with the campaign and inauguration.
Secret Service personnel on multiple occasions have rushed to protect Trump from threats during the campaign, including one incident in Reno in the final weekend before Election Day.

I recommend they don't look too closely. She looks like she'd file a harassment suit.

I thought this story was about a woman getting fired? What's with this dude?
-
She is backtracking now,and saying that of course she would protect Trump.
She's lying. What she is interested in protecting is her retirement pension. If she gets fired,she loses it.

Secret Service agent wrote she wouldn't take a bullet for Trump
A senior U.S. Secret Service member suggested she would not take a bullet for President Trump in an October post on Facebook.
Kerry O’Grady said she would rather do “jail time” than take “a bullet” for Trump — who is a “disaster to this country,” she wrote in a post obtained by The Washington Examiner.
She also endorsed Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton for president.
In her post, O’Grady acknowledged that expressing her political beliefs on social media is a violation of the Hatch Act. The act prohibits executive branch members, excluding the president, vice president and other designed officials, from making partisan statements.

She won't get fired! She will be allowed to quietly retire!

@Bigun
Sadly,I agree. Instead of being punished and being held responsible for breaking her legal contract with the SS,the one she took an oath to obey,she will end up being REWARDED instead of punished by retiring at full pension early instead of being fired and losing it all,which is what SHOULD have happened.
Some pigs really ARE "more equal" than other pigs.

I thought this story was about a woman getting fired? What's with this dude?
I'd take a bullet if I had to sleep with that.

It is difficult to fire Federal Employees, although that would be my first reaction.
However, the Secret Service also investigates counterfeiting, iirc.
Agent O'Grady, welcome to the counterfeiting division.
We have it an anonymous tip that there is a counterfeit one dollar bill somewhere at this location. It is your job to find it.(http://rs912.pbsrc.com/albums/ac326/Sofarfromreality/319298351_724779cb39_b.jpg~c100)
