   The Secret Service has really been taking a beating over the   
   past few years. From partying with hookers in Colombia, to   
   letting dudes jump the White House fence and wander around the   
   grounds, to leaving their laptops sitting around for anyone to   
   pick up, the men and women who protect the President of the   
   United States are having some PR problems. So it’s a bit of a   
   relief to learn that for once, they’re doing the right thing.   
   Well, sort of.   
      
   Susan Crabtree, Washington Examiner:   
      
   The Secret Service will permanently remove a top special agent   
   from her position after an investigation into her Facebook   
   comments that she would rather not defend President Trump or   
   take “a bullet” from him, but some agents are concerned she will   
   simply be transferred to another government job.   
      
   About two weeks ago, the Secret Service placed the agent’s prior   
   post — the special agent in charge of the Denver District, the   
   top job in that office — on a list of agency openings, according   
   to two Secret Service sources.   
      
   Kerry O’Grady, the agent in question, is on administrative leave   
   amid an internal Secret Service investigation into her Facebook   
   comments about Trump.   
      
   “Administrative leave” meaning “paid vacation.” We’re still   
   paying her salary, even though she publicly refused to do her   
   job. And chances are, she’ll just be shuffled off to some other   
   taxpayer-funded job at some other federal agency. After all,   
   it’s called the Secret Service, not the Overt Service. And “Good   
   enough for government work” ain’t just a funny catchphrase.   
      
   But hey, maybe a public employee will actually face some real   
   consequences for her actions. It could happen!
