he White House confirmed Alles departure on Monday after reports began emerging earlier in the day of his removal. United States Secret Service director Randolph Tex Alles has done a great job at the agency over the last two years, and the President is thankful for his over 40 years of service to the country, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. Mr. Alles will be leaving shortly and President Trump has selected James M. Murray, a career member of the USSS, to take over as director beginning in May.
Alles departure comes amid a shake-up of top staffers in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). After Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen posted her resignation letter to Twitter on Sunday, two other officials, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director Francis Cissna and Office of the General Counsels John Mitnick, were also rumored today to be on their way out.
Although Alles removal seemed sudden, the New York Times reported the former Secret Service director had fallen afoul of the president after the agency blamed a Mar-a-Lago security breach on Trumps staffers. Some officials told the newspaper on Monday that although plans had already been made for Alles removal before the arrest of a suspicious Chinese woman carrying malware was made at Mar-a-Lago last week, they believe the incident helped accelerate his leave.
Trump had been so frustrated with the retired Marine major general that he nicknamed him Dumbo, a reference to Alles large ears, and mocked his appearance before ousting him from office, two officials told the Times.

(47,501 posts)he makes fun of another person's appearance. His lack of self-awareness is incredible, but then again, his mockery of other people could be another example of projection. On some level, he must know how ridiculous he looks. Even if he never looked in the mirror, his image is on TV and in newspapers constantly.

(779 posts)Perhaps we should start calling him names, I do not think he would appreciate what a lot of material he provides us against him.
I wonder who creates the pile of candyfloss on top of his head every day (or is it an animal?)

I try, and try to understand what it is that attracts people to join the buffoon on anything and I still cannot come up with reasons.

(507 posts)of the staff at United States Secret Service are career Government employees. They are there because they need a job. They are there because they were there before the orange buffoon illegally occupied 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Now, because of Hairplug Himmler, another career government employee is out of work, and most likely has lost his retirement as well. Not everyone at the White House is there BECAUSE of the orangesicle. Many have been there quite a few years, building their nest egg, looking forward to the day they can retire. Now, because of a thin-skinned man-child, another career federal employee is without work.

(32,645 posts)... nor are they hired from Central Casting. The Secret Service employees have training and qualifications and they're held to the highest standards. For the pResident to criticize a career SS agent for his/her physical appearance is appalling! The Secret Service agents are dedicated men and women whose main goal is to preserve the life and safety of the POTUS at all costs. Chump needs to show more respect.

(143 posts)Alles had been in service to our nation for 40 years. is he supposed to just quit, give up all of the benefits he earned, as he nears retirement age? he was not hired by the subhuman occupying our white house, nor did he choose to start working in secret service in the last two years

The White House stated the firings were done because financial improprieties in the Travel Office operation during previous administrations had been revealed by an FBI investigation. Critics contended the firings were done to allow friends of President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to take over the travel business and that the involvement of the FBI was unwarranted. Heavy media attention forced the White House to reinstate most of the employees in other jobs and remove the Clinton associates from the travel role.
Further investigations by the FBI and the Department of Justice, the White House itself, the General Accounting Office, the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, and the Whitewater Independent Counsel all took place over the subsequent years. Travel Office Director Billy Dale was charged with embezzlement but found not guilty in 1995. In 1998, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr exonerated Bill Clinton of any involvement in the matter.
Hillary Clinton gradually came under scrutiny for allegedly having played a central role in the firings and making false statements about her involvement therein. In 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Travelgate. He sought no charges against her, saying that while some of Clinton's statements were factually false, there was insufficient evidence that these statements were either knowingly false or that she understood that her statements led to the firings.

(2,596 posts)tRump is all about superficial and what is photogenic, never mind the fact that he's still stuck in a time warp in which he still believes he is the "hawt" thirty-year old he thought he was.

(22,099 posts)This man was in government service for 40 years. And tRump fires him because he dared criticize.
Rachel did an eye-opening piece last night on his cabinet appointments. Even though Alles was not in a cabinet position. She said tRump is putting in all these "acting" members because they don't have to be vetted by Congress. And they have to be subservient to him.
