Related: About this forumSecret Service Agent Gary J. Byrne: Hillary Clinton Gave Bill Clinton A BLACK EYE
There is a new book that is already a No. 1 best-selling book on Amazon prior to the book even being released. Titled Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate, the book written by Gary J. Byrne is gaining big buzz. Because of Garys close proximity to the Clintons during some of their most volatile days in the White House, Byrnes testimony of his experiences with Bill and Hillary are being closely followed.
Over a twenty-nine-year career serving my country in the military and in federal law enforcement, Ive encountered both heroes and villains. Ive observed human character at its greatest heights and lowest depths. In any organization, character is defined at the top; it percolates down to the top executives of an organization, to the middle managers, and to the grunts at the front lines. Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office. From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true.
Gary writes that the Clintons were more interested in doing away with forthcoming books and articles that painted them in a negative light than in performing their real business duties of running the country. With harrowing accusations included in Byrnes book, it is one that the Clintons likely dont look forward to being released on June 28.
The First Couple wasted days obsessing over how to kill a forthcoming book (one alleging that Bill Clintons mother ran a brothel) or in squashing yet another tabloid revelation. Their machinations and their constant damage control diverted them from the nations real business.
Byrne wrote that he has no animosity towards Bill and Hillary. Gary even claimed that his sense of loyalty ran so deep for the Clintons that he got rid of evidence that could have been used to convict President Clinton during his adulterous days with Monica Lewinsky. As reported by the Daily Mail, Byrne revealed that he was uncomfortable with Monicas level of access to the West Wing in the White House during the evening hours when she should not have been there.
The blue dress wasnt the only evidence of his misdeeds.
Now retired from public service, Byrne is no longer holding all the deep secrets he kept for the former First Family close to the bone. They were secrets that, as Gary wrote, sent him home to his own wife, Genny, to give her deep hugs and profess how happy he was that they werent like the Clintons.

(2,546 posts)e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...
Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...
Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"
Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"
Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

I'd guess the SS isn't happy about it either.
They should have some expectation of privacy.
That said, I believe the First Families are in a unique fishbowl and certainly know the ramifications of their future privacy when signing up to run. If they're acting badly that news will certainly become public knowledge.

(20,219 posts)what if an SS agent during GWB's adminstration heard plans of invading Iraq immediately after 9/11. What if they knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that there no WMDs and Al Qaeda had no presence in Iraq? That it was all a sham and if they went public it could stop an unjust war and save thousands of lives. Would you want that SS agent to go to the press? I would.
He writes "Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office. From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true.
Having a President like this could be catastrophic on many levels. Perhaps he felt he just could not keep quiet.

(5,815 posts)I'm not even going to read any of this. I don't care. There are plenty of books out there about Hillary behind the scenes that portray her character.
A secret service agent passing judgement bothers me. Do they not have NDAs?
They ought to.
I do not ever, in the history of ever, want a secret service agent on duty one day thinking they're going to cash in on what they see.
No, no, no, no, no.
I want dispassionate, apolitical machines whose only thought is guarding their ward.

October 1998
-snip-
One Secret Service agent called her a stalker. Another agent told his colleague and young trainees to be careful with her because she was "the president's mistress." Others called her a groupie, a "clutch," who hung around the Oval Office too much.
Monica Lewinsky was well-known to the agents responsible for guarding the president and the White House long before her relationship with the president became public. As a rule, they did not like her. Some considered her a literal threat to the president. The gossip among them was rampant about her having an affair with the president in the Oval Office complex.
After putting up a furious court fight to prevent its agents from testifying, the normally tight-lipped, eyes-straight-ahead Secret Service officers turned out have much to say about the president's affairs and free with their opinions about Lewinsky.
- Agent Gary Byrne called her a "stalker" because she was always around the Oval Office and Byrne complained to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Evelyn Lieberman, who eventually saw to it that Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon.
Once when Lewinsky was near the Oval Office, Byrne stopped her and asked her what she was doing. Just then, White House steward Bayani Nelvis emerged from the White House pantry and said that if she wasn't careful, she would wind up like Paula Jones.
According to Byrne, Lewinsky replied that she was smarter than Jones, and Nelvis laughed. "I felt very uncomfortable about it, and I just said, well, see you later," Byrne said.
After Lewinsky had been transferred, a "pretty upset" Timothy Keating--the staff director for legislative affairs who had hired Lewinsky--approached Byrne and told him, "You knew what was going on over there with Lewinsky, and you didn't tell me? Now my butt's in a ringer."
