“At approximately 9 a.m. April 22, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing. The agent was removed from their assignment while medical personnel were summoned. The Vice President was at the Naval Observatory when this incident occurred and there was no impact on her departure from Joint Base Andrews. The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously. As this was a medical matter, we will not disclose any further details.”

    Feels like there’s more to the story. If this were just a personal matter and one guy losing his cool and starting a fight, I dont think they would report it that way.

        Yep and this is just random crap involving a person near a politician, not even a politician. This isn’t politics

          It’s not some “politician” is the Vice President of the United States. Why is this news? Because it could signal some disarray within the office’s security. And in these times? That’s definitely not good.

            It s a politician. It’s almost the most political of politicians.

            Our federal leader choked out an intruder in his own home, late one night.

            “TMZ” is right.
