BIGGEST CASUALTY OF JULIA PIERSON’S RESIGNATION FROM THE SECRET SERVICE? Hillary — or, rather, Hillary’s narrative.
Remember, after the last wave of Secret Service scandals — involving drinking and prostitution — Pierson was chosen to head the Secret Service because, basically, she was a woman. There were a lot of men making men-type screwups, and a nice, frumpy woman would bring them into line and fix things.
Well, that’s basically the narrative Hillary’s people have been preparing for 2016. Oops.
Related: “It’s as if they thought having a female director would fix — image-fix — their women-related problems. There’s more to the Secret Service than just making it seem as if someone is stopping them from whoring. Did she even succeed at that? Or were we just supposed to feel better about it?”
Plus, from the comments:
1. The bad old SS was a male oriented, competent, hard drinking male club (think Clint Eastwood in “Line of Fire”) that covered up the parties and off duty issues
2. The bad new SS is a PC oriented incompetent club that covers up on duty incompetence
The SS at the CDC violated a number of rules and she directly ordered a cover-up.
I can guess which one a Hillary Administration would look like.
