She got the job because she was a woman, not because she's an Einstein. Still, stupid is, as stupid does.

A public refusal to perform the duties of her job? Sure, its free speech, but by her own words she is ethically unfit to hold a position with the Secret Service.

Then she's fired.

Yeah because that's how you become part of the secret service. You just sign up like little league baseball.

Then she needs to find a new vocation.
I said the same thing about SSA's assigned to Obama as well.

O’Grady told the Examiner she removed the post a few days after posting it and claimed she didn’t mean to suggest she wouldn’t take a bullet for Trump.

I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country
She is just mad she was caught.

Secret Service employees are among those federal employees subject to enhanced 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.
quote:
Asked for comment, the U.S. Secret Service responded: "The USSS is aware of the postings and we are looking into the matter."
LINK
quote:
Removal is the only penalty authorized for violation of the Hatch Act, under 5 U.S.C.S. § 1505. The Merit System Protection Board (MSPB) has plenary jurisdiction under § 1505 to determine after a hearing whether the violation warrants the removal of the officer or employee from his office or employment. The Board considers whether removal is appropriate on the basis of seriousness of the violation.
quote:
With respect to federal employees, 5 U.S.C.S. § 7326 provides that an individual who violates the Hatch Act, shall be removed from his position, and the funds appropriated for the position from which removed may not thereafter be used to pay the employee or individual. However, if the board finds by unanimous vote that the violation does not warrant removal, a penalty of no fewer than 30 days’ suspension without pay shall be imposed by direction of the board.

I also wouldn't post my opinion of a presidential candidate on the internet when my job could possibly involve defending that candidate.
I'm not a fricking moron.
Your defense of her is moronic.

The Secret Service is charged with protecting the US President. Not Obama, not Bush, not Clinton, but whoever holds that title. It is an apolitical position, integral to national security. If you are stating that you are unwilling to perform your duty in any job, it is reason for termination. When that role is to provide Presidential security and you outright state your refusal, it is a necessity to be dismissed ASAP. NOTHING ELSE can be accepted. Her statements border on treason.

She's a NASTY WOMAN ! YOU'RE FIRED
Posted on 1/24/17 at 2:20 pm to Frank Black
I would be very surprised if she is still a agent.

It's simply a clear violation of the Hatch Act, which subjects her to removal of her position after full review.

She has freedom of speech. Freedom of consequences is what she lacks. I'm free to call my boss a bald headed fatass, but freedom of speech is not going to protect me from the repercussions.
