Kerry O'Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Denver district, comitted clear Hatch Act violations before the election on Facebook, with multiple posts bashing Trump & endorsing Clinton. One below example:

""As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quiet and skirt the median. To do otherwise can be a criminal offense for those in my position. Despite the fact that I am expected to take a bullet for both sides.

But this world has changed and I have changed. And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her...."

....Secret Service employees are among those federal employees subject to enhanced Hatch Act restrictions, including these two rules:

May not post a comment to a blog or a social media site that advocates for or against a partisan political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group.

May not use any email account or social media to distribute, send or forward content that advocates for or against a partisan political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group.

Asked for comment, the U.S. Secret Service responded: "The USSS is aware of the postings and we are looking into the matter."

A service member would be getting discharged. Executive branch employees are all under that umbrella but you wouldn't know it for all the Hatch Act violations going on in numerous agencies

Social media is a great way to separate idiots for the pack.

Didn't work in the Presidential election... but, oh well. She has no business on the Secret Service
