In a breach of tradition, a former U.S. Secret Service agent has self-published a book that savages the Clinton White House staff as arrogant and rude, suggests former first lady Hillary Clinton was aloof and charges that Bill Clinton endangered himself and agents for a totally pointless photo op on the South Korea-North Korea border.

A breach of tradition? Hardly. When has a tell all book not been written about a "first family" by an ex S.S. person?
I guess you.d have to go back to when the S.S. first started.
You know, it really HURTS when you almost laugh your head off. I hope you’re satisfied...
