Top Secret Service officials ordered members of a special unit responsible for patrolling the White House perimeter to abandon their posts over at least two months in 2011 in order to protect a personal friend of the agency’s director, according to three people familiar with the operation.
The new assignment, known internally as Operation Moonlight, diverted agents to a rural area outside the southern Maryland town of La Plata, nearly an hour’s drive from Washington. Agents were told that then-Director Mark Sullivan was concerned that his assistant was being harassed by her neighbor, the three people said.
Two agents were sent twice a day, in the morning and the evening, to monitor the home of the assistant, Lisa Chopey. The trips began June 30, 2011, and extended through the summer before tapering off in August, according to people familiar with internal shift records.

The key question in the entire article is found in the last line.
Interesting that the full article does not even bother to explain what caused the tension between the assistant and her shacking-up neighbors. Makes me suspect that the writer is concealing something.
Yes, isn’t it curious that the writer of this piece refers to her first as a “personal friend” of the director and then as his “assistant”?
Bingo! I think that is indeed part of the unanswered question!
No kidding. Reads as if it was written by the narcissist himself. Never in my life have I seem such narcissism transfer on behalf of someone.
If any part of the Federal government isn’t corrupt, they haven’t had the opportunity to ruin it yet. I’d love to see stats on the hiring of relatives.
An assistant Secret Service Director being harassed? Big bad heavily armed, highly trained federal agent being harassed by a neighbor?
Oh, she’s a chick. Armed, trained, badge and gun. But it’s the new world. First the heavily armed and trained chicks had to be protected at work from words. Then the women marines had to be protected from fitness tests. Now the Secret Service’s finest is having trouble with neighbor problems.
We ain’t in Kansas no more, Toto.

From what I could gather, her name is Lisa Louise Tritola Chopey, age 42, in La Plata, MD. Now gotta find a picture of this poor helpless female, lol.
She’s married to a James A. Chopey, age 44, who works for DHS.
