"Secret Service official wanted to embarrass congressman"

There appears to be no federal government agency that has not been politicized. The Secret Service.
“Some information that he might find embarrassing needs to get out,” Assistant Director Edward Lowery wrote in an e-mail to a fellow director on March 31, commenting on an internal file that was being widely circulated inside the service. “Just to be fair.”
Two days later, a news Web site reported that Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, had applied to be a Secret Service agent in 2003 and been rejected.
That information was part of a Chaffetz personnel file stored in a restricted Secret Service database and required by law to be kept private. (read the story)
The oversight committee was looking into the series of security lapses at the white house. If you recall, some people climbed over the fence, and one of them made it into the white house.

Will electing a conservative undue all the damage done during the current administration? So much politicising, illegality, unconstitutionality, dishonesty. I know that another Democrat will continue it for sure, but will a conservative who inherits that new standard of power let go of it? The character of the next President is critical. Could there be a worse choice than Hillary Clinton at this time?

Yet another previously spotless government entity now covered in slime and shame.
Democrats ruin everything.
