Secret Service Director Announces Retirement-says he wants to spend more time with his family.

[kpete]

The director of the Secret Service is stepping down. Joseph Clancy informed his colleagues of his decision to retire, effective March 4, saying that "for personal reasons, it is time." Clancy, 61, says he wants to spend more time with his family.

Clancy was brought back to the Secret Service as director by former President Obama in 2014 after a string of security lapses and misconduct by agents and officers.

He had left the agency for a job in the private sector in 2011 after serving as the head of Obama's protective detail.

1. Wow. And the hits keep coming. What does he know?

I keep waiting for the big bombshell to drop....

2. He may not really know much of anything

but simply want to get out before he might or he may really just want to get back to what he was doing and spend time with the family. The guy is 61, might just want it a little less tense around the workplace. Hope he gets to enjoy his retirement.
