Ex-Agent: Secret Service too cozy with Clinton, press interference 'dangerous'
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/8/16 | Pau Bedard

Posted on 01/08/2016 8:03:51 PM PST by 5150 FREEPER

The latest case of U.S. Secret Service agents blocking reporters from asking Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are "dangerous," and could lead to media being threatened for getting too close to the candidate, according to a long-time former agent.

Dan Bongino, who was on Clinton's security detail when she ran for the Senate in 2008, told Secrets, "This is dangerous. This is a dangerous development."

Didn’t the Secret Service become officially designated the Praetorian Guard?

Are there no editors at the Washington Examiner, or was that a bad cut and paste on your part ?

I have seen this type of mistake (leaving out key words) happen over and over, from a multitude of sources, and I wonder why it keeps happening.

You mean she learned to talk nice to them?

Or is the Secret Service trying to make the press hate Ms. Clinton, for payback?

He explained: "It's dangerous because you have an arm of the federal government now de facto controlling access for a free press to a major presidential candidate. I mean, where does it end? What's next, do you start threatening people for asking questions?"

Only if Mrs. Clinton thinks they are the "wrong" questions no doubt.

Probably like many of the top officers in the military, the Secret Service has probably been cleaned out of the traditional types, hence the recent spate of undisciplined and shoddy agents.

There is something fishy here. The secret service has never liked Hillary and she has never shown them any respect.

how or why the SS protect this woman, or the other guy, is beyond me. they totally don’t deserve any protection, and it demeans the honor and the integrity of those protecting to do so in protecting. They are disgraceful

I just bet that the SS agents guarding Trump like the job.

Has to be FAR better than guarding Hillary...

I would have limitless gratitude and respect for someone willing to take a bullet to protect me... the way the Clintons disrespected the Secret Service shows what lowlife scum they are.

One thing is known, they were certainly doing their job last night in Vermont. That was the best organized protest ever seen. One after another, every 10-15 min there was an outcry, Trump would give the signal, and they were marched out of the auditorium. Be it SS or Trump security they were on top of their game. Thank God! The man needs prayers and protection.

I read it twice because I thought maybe I had a brain fart the first time I read it but after two readings, it still did not make sense.

I hope those guarding Clinton look the other way someday

Good catch: sometimes cut and paste can be clumbsy like me!

Here is what it should have been:

“The latest case of U.S. Secret Service agents blocking reporters from asking Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are “dangerous,” and could lead to media being threatened for getting too close to the candidate, according to a long-time former agent.”

Sorry, Freepers.

Dan Bongino, who was on Clinton’s security detail when she ran for the Senate in 2008, told Secrets, “This is dangerous. This is a dangerous development.”

Or just gibberish, like reading the Bowery Boys...

I think the phenomenon is linked to phone/tablet autocomplete/autocorrect programs and an absence of methodical proofreading.

Haste makes waste.

It's a poorly constructed sentence. The latest case is dangerous. At a very minimum of editing it should read: "The latest case of U.S. Secret Service agents blocking reporters from asking Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is "dangerous,"..."

As mean as she is, I’m surprised one of them hasn’t shot her while cleaning his gun.
