New book: Being assigned to Hillary Clinton’s Secret Service detail “a form of punishment”

There’s no worse assignment for a Secret Service agent than protecting Hillary Clinton, if claims in a controversial new book are to be believed.
Ronald Kessler’s book, “First Family Detail,” is filled with salacious revelations about the secret personal lives of the nation’s most high-profile political leaders.
“She is so nasty to agents that being assigned to her detail is considered a form of punishment,” Kessler told “Top Line” of Clinton.
“It shines a light on her character,” Kessler said. “She claims to be a champion of the little people, and she's going to help the middle class. And, in fact, she treats these people around her, [who] would lay down their lives for her like sub-humans; and I think voters need to consider that.”
The second-worst Secret Service assignment is Vice President Joe Biden, Kessler said.

While most of the allegations contained in Kessler’s book relate to the personal lives of the high-profile individuals whom the Secret Service protects, there is also criticism of the Secret Service itself.
Kessler said that the president’s life has been put at risk by what his anonymous sources tell him are serious security shortfalls within the agency. “Agents tell me that it's a miracle there has not been an assassination, given all this corner-cutting,” Kessler said.
“[An] example in the book is that, when Bradley Cooper went to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a high-ranking Secret Service official told the detail at the Washington Hilton, 'Just let him in with his SUV' – in this secure area where only Secret Service cars are allowed, and even they have to be screened for explosives. He was not screened; someone could have put explosives in.”
But the Secret Service is firing back at Kessler’s claims, with spokesman Ed Donovan calling the book “intellectually lazy and riddled with inaccuracies.”
“We currently dedicate more personnel, funding and technical assets to our protective mission than at any time in our history and our protective measures and methods continue to increase in scope and complexity, not diminish,” Donovan said in a written statement. “Comments attributed to our personnel, current or former, regarding their personal perceptions of Secret Service protectees, are just that – their personal perceptions – and should not be discussed in any forum.”
The book’s accuracy has also been called into question by reviewers outside of the government.
Marc Ambinder, an editor at “This Week” news magazine, wrote a post admonishing Kessler’s book for “weird inaccuracies” that he says “should lead Kessler to question the judgment of some of his own sources.” Asked for a response to Ambinder’s negative review, Kessler rebutted that “every claim that he made was totally wrong.”
Neither the vice president’s office nor Hillary Clinton provided a comment when contacted by “Top Line.” However, the Clintons recently provided a joint-statement to POLITICO to address a slew of new books that are critical of Hillary Clinton.
“With Klein, Halper and [author Ronald] Kessler, we now have a hat trick of despicable actors concocting trashy nonsense for a quick buck, at the expense of anything even remotely resembling the truth,” a joint statement from spokesmen for Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton read, according to POLITICO.

I knew someone with a close connection to a former SS officer for clinton and bush...he said clinton was a douche and didnt respect them or their schedual and was a huge pain to try to accomodate. So this just corroborates that...

I always thought the secret service agents, under obama, were drinking and whoring around 24/7, trashing hotel rooms and whatnot.

Those poor schmucks probably have to watch Obama do coke chooms, hook up w his older white boyfriends and reggie love, placate that fat fuck michelle Obama, listen to that old bat in the other wing, the mother in the law, pick up trash after this gang og ghettodwellers sweep through, etc.

Obama has disgraced what was once a dignified and reverent job for those in the secret service.

what i'm saying is that there seems to be a nice stench of presidential disgustingness that's been in place since 92. what we're seeing today is nothing new. back in the day, it was probably secret service dudes playing "lookout for hilary" while someone was shoving cigars where the sun don't shine in the oval office. I dont think anything can top that in terms of public disgrace of the office.
hilary and biden aren't president, they're tier 2 anyway.
