The Secret Service should turn a completely blind eye to everything that happens. Their job is to protect the President, and reporting the guy's behavior and decisions is absolutely in direct conflict with that job.

This includes that SS agent who turned on Clinton. He may be an utterly reprehensible scumbag. But he's the elected President. He can't stop to think whether a politically unpopular decision or behavior may get him killed. He's in there on our behalf. Maybe he's got a weak personality and lots of personal failings. As long as he's upholding the constitution - whatever version of the constitution the courts see fit today, anyway - the SS has to protect him.
