  • New book by Carol Leonnig: Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service
  • The JFK section of the book is pretty disappointing
  • Leonnig relies on accounts of agents like Clint Hill
  • She takes their word on face value; no investigative reporting
  • Gerald Blaine put the blame on Kennedy for not having agents at the back of the car
  • “The Secret Service was the only boss that the President of the United States had” – President Truman
  • Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton also said the same thing
  • The Secret Service can overrule even the President when it comes to his own security
  • “He can tell you what he wants done and he can tell you certain things but that doesn’t mean you have to do it.
    What we used to do was always agree with the President and then we’d do what we felt was best anyway.”

    – Clint Hill, Sixth Floor Oral History
  • The only agency which can give orders to the President – the secret service – may make much greater use of this
    perogative in the future
