Secret Service Agent said she "wouldn't take a bullet for Trump"

[Knight_Light]

Maybe she should be a grocery check-out clerk instead?

I may be wrong but I think they are paid to protect the guy but the "I would take a bullet for x" is extra.

She needs to be on the Pence team and not on Trumps.

Sounds like she already is.

Well...didn't you know....Millennials don't really have to conform to any job requirements...as companies now have to adjust to their needs/wants.

This is just wrong. I would have the same problem if she said that about Obama. Its not about the person in office, but the office itself. Bottom line, she needs to be reassigned, fired, or quit on her own terms.

I think we have an expert on this topic on this board. Hopefully he chimes in on what is expected and thoughts of agents to this matter vs. what is expected.

Fine. Send her ass packing and let her find a job as a left wing think tank activist.

Yes, until Clay responds all we have is info from the movies

He's probably 10 times as busy as he was under Obama running down leads on all these nutjob lefty radicals. I mean ffs, Madonna said she wanted to blow up the White House, she should be on a no fly terrorist list.

Can't be just shoot her and call it a public service?

A little bit of a rant on terrorism: The classification of terrorist has continued to expand after 9/11. If you remember the story about Eric Frein from a few years back. He killed a cop and was eventually apprehended following a manhunt. Not only was he charged with murder, but they tacked on terrorism charges because he was "attempting to affect the conduct of the US government." The expanded power the federal government has in terrorist actions makes sense, but being able to classify terrorism as "attempting to affect the conduct of the US government" makes me nervous on where protesting falls in that spectrum. It's way too gray of an area IMO.

I cannot recall a single attempt to classify any protest as terrorism.

A protest shouldn't be classified as terrorism and I don't believe it ever has. I was talking about one woman saying she wanted to blow up the White House in a speech to protesters. If I did that on social media the FBI or SS would be at my door hauling me in for questioning and putting me on lists.

A protest has never been classified as terrorism. My point is that calling "attempting to affect the conduct of the Government" terrorism is way too open for such a serious accusation. Where is the line between protest and terrorism under this definition of terrorism? Can a social media post that incites protests which affect the conduct of Government be considered terrorism?

 

[Bob the Citronaut]

IMO it's a fine line but if something you say or promote directly influences a terrorist attack then you're a terrorist. If some Madonna loving nutjob goes and blows up the WH, she is culpable.

No, I think he is busy trying to secure a hotel in freaking NY and trying to find the 3M illegal voters
