In stark contrast, a senior Secret Service agent whose job is literally to take a would-be assassin's bullet for the president defiantly told colleagues and friends just a few weeks before the 2016 election that she'd refuse to do any such thing for Trump.
She was on paid administrative leave, and afterward remained on either paid or unpaid leave and is set to retire with a taxpayer-funded pension in roughly three weeks, according to sources close to the Secret Service and a public settlement decision between O'Grady and DHS. Earlier this month, the human resources department of the Secret Service sent an internal notice to all employees announcing O'Grady's retirement, effective March 20.
Several agents and other employees who tried to look up her employment status on an internal Secret Service database of active agents were hauled before higher-ups and warned not to discuss the case in any capacity, numerous sources in the Secret Service community have told RealClearPolitics.
The premier organization for retired Secret Service agents, the Association of Former Agents of the U.S. Secret Service, also known as Old Star, quickly expelled her from its ranks.
Just days before leaving his role as Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley released the results of a nearly four-year investigation of the U.S. Marshals Service, into which a flood of Secret Service agents have transferred in recent years.
The official Secret Service retirement notice says O'Grady is retiring at a GS13 federal pay grade, which suggests that the agency downgraded her from a GS15, her pay grade before the misconduct charges.
All agents who hold the top position in a Secret Service field office must hold the rank of GS15, which she did, according to multiple sources in the Secret Service community.
