Former Secret Service Agent Says Trump Is 'Coming Pretty Close to the Edge'

The U.S. Secret Service has issued a statement in the wake of Donald Trump issuing a veiled call for "the Second Amendment people" to take action against Hillary Clinton before she is allowed to place justices on the Supreme Court. The agency is responsible for the safety of all living Presidents, current and past, as well as their families, and of presidential candidates.

Secret Service spox Cathy Milhoan: "The US Secret Service is aware of the comments. We will not be offering any additional statements."

"The US Secret Service is aware of the comments," Secret Service communications director Cathy Milhoan said in a statement, according to several reporters and Bloomberg News. "We will not be offering any additional statements."

TIME magazine just published an interview with an unnamed former Secret Service agent who says Trump "is coming pretty close to the edge here," and if it were an ordinary American who made the comments Trump made, "you’d go out and interview them."............

Ordinary Americans would be interviewed for this, but someone with a mass of very angry followers gets a pass.
